Clever at Many Levels
A highly entertaining show with a razor-sharp script. Kids will love the zany humour and the meaningful storyline. Adults will love the way this show works as a modern, animated retelling of the classic slapstick "Blazing Saddles." (It even has Mel Brooks making several appearances!) This movie has a clear message of anti-discrimination, and anti-prejudice (something which didn't quite come out in the original Blazing Saddles). A stellar cast makes this retelling of a comedy classic even more fun. Whilst Ricky Gervais's voice acting is probably a bit weak in parts, the rest of the cast work beautifully with this clever script. Whilst it probably won't go down as a "classic", it's a very clever & funny movie which the whole family will enjoy. L! - colleenplattowski - 2 September 2022
My Rating and Review of this Movie
'Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank' was a good movie, and it has some decent animation in it too. It was both funny, and was also cute to see, and watch from a child's perspective. The characters were comedic, and humorous. The plot of the story was well made. The action in the fight scenes were cool, and exciting. I think that all of the characters that were in this movie were funny. This movie could be meant for either children, or for adults, or for the both. My favorite part was when Gervais' character Ikachu says to Hank "I am your father," and then tricks, and confuses him by saying that to him.
