Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank

This pretty much winds itself down to a whole bunch of fart jokes.

No fewer than seven screenwriters are credited on this tiresome Kung Fu Panda rip-off... Characters are stereotypical and the lazy approach to Asian culture offensive.

Paws of Fury is precisely as inane as its premise makes it sound – think Kung Fu Panda, but blander – though it has been cobbled together with a certain honest doltishness that tends to play well with its young target audience.

It's clear that the makers had an aim to make the movie stand out from typical kiddie fare, and they succeed, generally.

Morally reprehensible.

Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank is just straight-up fun, especially for adults.

It’s riddled with fart jokes and sophomoric humor, while also having witty lines that you need to pay attention to catch. It’s this strange in between that makes this movie memorable and forgettable at the same time.

If you love terrible puns, a bevy of Mel Brooks-related references, and samurais crossing swords, you could do far worse than "Paws of Fury."

There’s arguably enough action, visual, verbal and scatological gags to keep the kids entertained.

Paws of Fury offers the usual lukewarm accept-people-for-their-hearts-not-their-looks kid-flick platitudes.
