Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank is a 2022 animated martial arts comedy film directed by Rob Minkoff, Mark Koetsier and Chris Bailey (in Koetsier and Bailey's feature directorial debut).
But it's not as memorable as similar movies like Kung Fu Panda or Rango. Cera's familiar voice is ideally cast to play the well-meaning but slightly bumbling Hank, who has to work hard to transform into a samurai.

Then he finds Jimbo and a new purpose for his life....
Jimbo is Hank’s sensei, the great samurai whose legends precede him. But in person, Jimbo is not quite as impressive as Hank imagined. Rather, he’s a very grumpy, old, tuxedo cat, who doesn't really want to train a dog; it's just the rules. But Jimbo sees an opportunity here (as you would expect from a cat). Kakamucho, the village he lives in, is u...
