What the hell is with all of the mid ass animated movies this year? They’re either just not that great or just plain bad. Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank is definitely in the second group. It wanted to be so much at once that it failed to be anything other than a near waste of an hour and a half. At the end of the day, this is just another boring ass white savior movie, and making kid friendly jokes about racism being bad (aka don’t hate people for looking different) doesn’t stop this movie from having a plot about an outsider saving a town, thus implying that they couldn’t save themselves. Not to mention this land of cats is just Japan and they only bothered to cast one Japanese actor and he plays a dumbass. I love George Takei and I feel bad for what they did with him here. Michael Cera brings no real life to his white savior and just makes him a bland and boring protagonist that could have just as easily been Samuel L. Jackson’s far superior character. I think a down on his luck, drug addict, ex samurai would have been better than an outsider learning to be one. Ricky Gervais plays the most bullshit stupid villain I’ve seen in a couple years with the stupidest villain reasoning. Mel Brooks was alright but his character is who Takei should have been, or at least one of the many great older Japanese actors. Gabriel Iglesias did have one of the only interesting side characters that didn’t get enough screen time. Djimon Hounsou plays yet another side character with a lot of screen time yet no focus. I hope he gets more leading roles. Michelle Yeoh is coming off my favorite movie of all time to get severely underused here, and compared to the other voice actors she stands out as clearly Asian which strikes me the wrong way since she’s not Japanese. Aasif Mandvi fell so far under the rug I can barely even remember who he played. Kylie Kuioka was a bright light here though, her character was a lot of fun and it seems like she might be with Takei as the only other Japanese actor here which would be a huge plus for her. This movie takes satire and just beats you over the head with it until you fall into a deep coma. It treats the audience like they’re idiots. 5/10. -Tyler.
