What critics compared Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank to
I’m obviously not the target audience of this film, but even still, I can’t see too many children falling in love with this story that seems to be trying way too hard to copy the success of Kung Fu Panda .
The animation is crisp and refined in a way that keeps most of the action light and breezy in a “Kung Fu Panda” type of way, and the voice work is top notch.
With the direction being taken care of by the hands of Minkoff and Koetsier, the film and its plot points take heavy influences from Mel Brooks’s “Blazing Saddles,” several wuxia films (like DreamWorks’ “Kung Fu Panda” series), and some western movies to portray the film accurately.
A primera vista, Un héroe samurái parece aprovechar el mismo punto de partida que Kung Fu Panda (2008), de Mark Osborne y John Stevenson.
