However, it resides right next to the impoverished village of Kakamucho. In a land inspired by feudal Japan and entirely inhabited by cats, Ika Chu, a conniving high ranking official of the land's Shogun, desires to expand his giant palace.

It was later re-announced in November 2019 after Aniventure joined as the new producing studio with a planned 2021 release. Its development continued through 20 with Mass Animation handling production and Open Road Films acquiring the United States distribution rights before dropping them in 2017. The project was first conceived by producer Yair Landau in 2010 as Blazing Samurai in response to the then-recent trend of westernizing Asian films.

It features the voices of Michael Cera, Ricky Gervais, Mel Brooks, George Takei, Aasif Mandvi, Gabriel Iglesias, Djimon Hounsou, Michelle Yeoh, and Samuel L. The film is a loose remake of the 1974 live-action film Blazing Saddles. Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank is a 2022 computer-animated martial arts comedy film directed by Rob Minkoff, Mark Koetsier, and Chris Bailey (in Koetsier and Bailey's feature directorial debut).
