Plot summary

Here is a short review of "Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank" movie plot summary.
In a land inspired by feudal Japan and almost entirely inhabited by cats, Ika Chu (Ricky Gervais), a conniving high ranking official of the land's Shogun, desires to expand his giant palace. However, it resides right next to the impoverished village of Kakamucho. Hoping to get rid of it, Ika Chu plans to force Kakamucho's residents to abandon their town by sending a gang of thugs led by his flunky Ohga (George Takei) to trash the town and then wiping it out with his giant jade toilet. The townspeople demand that the Shogun (Mel Brooks) appoint a new samurai to protect them after the old one flees. Ika Chu, hoping to offend the townspeople, creates chaos and leave Kakamucho at his mercy before the Shogun arrives, decides to appoint Hank (Michael Cera), a dog prisoner about to be executed with aspirations of becoming a samurai.
After an initial hostile reception, Hank relies on the assistance of Jimbo (Samuel L. Jackson), a catnip-addled samurai who reluctantly agrees to train him, in order to overcome the townspeople's hostility. While training with Jimbo, Hank manages to subdue Sumo (Djimon Hounsou), an immensely strong, dim-witted, yet philosophical henchman that Ika Chu sent to drive out the townspeople quicker. The townspeople see Hank as a hero, but his newfound popularity ends up getting to Hank's head, and starts refusing to train which causes a fallout between Hank and Jimbo's relationship. Ika Chu later invites Hank to a private nightclub, in order to distract him as his thugs trash Kakamucho. Hank returns devastated and decides to return home, but an origami figure of himself ends up reminding him about the town.
