In January 2022, when Paramount Pictures acquired the distribution rights, the movie was scheduled for release on July 22, 2022.

There are two trailers out so far for Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank and both the trailers show how ridiculously funny this movie is going to be. The longer clip gets into more details about the plot and gives a quick look at the major characters like Jimbo (Samuel L Jackson), Ika Chu (Ricky Gervais), Sumo (Djimon Hounsou), ogha (George Takei), Shogun (Mel Brooks) and of course, Hank (Michael Cera). the shorter trailer, on the other hand, highlights some clips from the first trailer. Basically, the second trailer is more pun-oriented, with references from major pop culture elements, including things like Twitter, training montages of Hank (just like any martial arts movie about an underdog), and similar things from other popular movies. But the best part of the second trailer is the starwars reference, where in a battle scene between Ika Chu and Hank, Ika Chu says “Hank, I am your father”. It’s certain to crack you up.
When Will Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank Arrive on Digital or DVD/VOD?

It is possible that the DVDs and VOD release for Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank might also be out around that time, like sometime in the fall of 2022. So, in case you don’t get a chance to catch the cats and dogs in action right now, you can always wait for the DVD/Blu-rays and add this to your holiday watchlist. But if you ask, watching this hilarious comedy of cats would probably be more fun on the big screen.
What Is Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank About?
What is this movie about indeed? Is this a movie about an underdog becoming a hero? Or is this about how dogs and cats can finally be on the same side? Or maybe it’s about the hidden powers of cats and this movie is a comical take on what’ll happen if these fuzzy little creatures we love to pet and be friends with finally become like us. Who knows? Coming back to the story of Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank, well, it is about Hank, a hapless little beagle who just wants to be strong and powerful enough to fight off bullies. So, the poor kid goes searching for a samurai master, Jimbo. But looks like Jimbo has a hidden agenda in training Hank.
Not only Jimbo, but the rest of the cats in the village look at Hank as an opportunity to fight their arch enemy, Ika Chu – viz-rattler Somali cat. Ika Chu just wants to take over and rule the village, like any villain. When Jimbo meets Hank, he thinks the desperate dog can be that savior the cats need, or in other words, he has found his patsy from him. And thus he begins the adventures of Hank, a new legend in the making. From wanting to become a samurai to becoming the protector of cats – one thing that dogs despise from the bottom of their hearts – it’s going to be a very ironic journey for Hank. Now, whether Hank can finally save the cats or not, is what you have to watch the movie for. Can Hank become the next iconic animated martial arts hero? Let’s hope so!
