PAWS OF FURY: THE LEGEND OF HANK is an entertaining animated comedy with a moral worldview about acting in a selfless manner, but it does have lots of cartoon action violence, so caution is advised for younger children.

Hank was once saved by a samurai and, after that, he has always wanted to become one. So, he decides to travel to the land of samurai cats. He arrives in a village full of cats, but the cats don’t want him, because cats don’t like dogs.

Meanwhile, Ika Chu, an evil villain cat building an empire, wants to take over the small village. He decides to allow Hank to become the village’s samurai defender, knowing Hank will be a horrible samurai and thinking that he can bring in some ninjas to defeat the town and take over.

Hank thinks this is his big break. He soon meets Jimbo, a washed up, old samurai cat who’s lost his desire to help others. However, Jimbo agrees to mentor Hank and teach him the samurai ways. When Hank gets one win, and protects the town from a huge Sumo cat, he gets an ego and decides to party instead of protecting the people. Jimbo tells him pride comes before a fall and that a samurai’s duty is to protect, serve and to think of others before themselves. However, Hank still wants to party because of his win. So, Ika Chu offers him a VIP event where he will be the famous one. Hank goes all in and allows others to praise him, while Ika Chu releases an army of ninjas to take over the village.

Will the village be okay when no one is there to protect them? Will Ika Chu take over the village? Will Hank learn to be selfless?
