    You couldn't make Blazing Saddles today. You'd have to call it Blazing Samurai and then make it an animated kids movie and turn everyone into cats and dogs and cast Michael Cera as Bart and 12 years of hell later have a film so bad Mel will only let you release it as Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank

    People love to say you could never remake Blazing Saddles, but that’s because they apparently forgot about “Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank.” This is real.

    Turns out I left out a Nickelodeon animated movie and that is Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank, a movie infamous with troubled production history as Blazing Samurai, and a Blazing Saddles rip-off, with a dog becoming a hero in a cat-filled community and it even has Mel Brooks in it. Definitely woof.

    No one saw Paws of Fury (which is correct; it is a very bad movie) but it is really amazing that they took like ten years to make it and then 75% of the jokes are just directly taken from blazing saddles with family friendly rewrites

    It’s official! Brad Bird’s Skydance film Ray Gunn started production at Cinesite (Paws of Fury, Hitpig, and the recent TMNT and Smurfs films), meaning it could be released in 2026 on Netflix. Also Skydance’s 1st film animated outside its own studios (in Madrid and Connecticut).

    Paws of Fury was simply a cheap pickup film that they just decided to not use the Paramount Animation label on despite the initial announcement. Mutant Mayhem confuses me because Paramount Animation WAS involved based on LinkedIn (same with Avatar Aang), but they're "Paramount Pictures" releases.

    GFM Animation, the studio behind PAWS OF FURY and HOODWINKED, will be presenting their long-gestating holiday movie, HUMBUGGED!, at the Annecy Animation Festival. It's a family comedy about how they talked Marley into haunting Scrooge, with ensuing not-in-A CHRISTMAS CAROL hijinks.

    We don't really need to remake Blazing Saddles because we have movies like Sorry to Bother You and Get Out, ones made in the spirit of Blazing Saddles without treading the same ground. Also when they did remake Blazing Saddles it ended up becoming Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank, so we're good.

    67/100 A clueless dog is forced into the position of samurai for a town full of cats ...and they're powers that wish to destroy him. My wife and I found this film to be quite entertaining and, at times, laugh-out-loud funny. The characters were a joy to watch and provided with plenty of personality by an all-star cast of voices. Being the engine behind this, Mel Brooks pulled out a hefty bag of tricks that included "Blazing Saddles" tropes, constantly breaking the fourth wall and a parody of…
