Review
I wasn’t expecting much from PAWS OF FURY: THE LEGEND OF HANK, but I was very surprised! From the opening credits, you know you are going to laugh. The all-star ensemble cast makes what is pretty well-worn territory a hilarious farce that has age-appropriate jokes for all the audience members—even the grown ones. Mel Brooks proves that his unique flavor of parody can translate to any screen and any audience. This is a wonderful movie to help with community-building because it makes audiences laugh as they explore some social issues through the dynamic relationship between the town of cats and their new samurai. This movie was enjoyed by the adults and the 5-year-old alike!
