Critics Consensus

While it might be intriguing for Mel Brooks completists, Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank is an often ungainly blend of kid-friendly animation and grown-up gags.

FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)

This pretty much winds itself down to a whole bunch of fart jokes.

Larushka Ivan-Zadeh

Times (UK)

No fewer than seven screenwriters are credited on this tiresome Kung Fu Panda rip-off... Characters are stereotypical and the lazy approach to Asian culture offensive.

Rated: 2/5

Robbie Collin

Daily Telegraph (UK)

Paws of Fury is precisely as inane as its premise makes it sound – think Kung Fu Panda, but blander – though it has been cobbled together with a certain honest doltishness that tends to play well with its young target audience.

Rated: 2/5

Picture Lock

It’s riddled with fart jokes and sophomoric humor, while also having witty lines that you need to pay attention to catch. It’s this strange in between that makes this movie memorable and forgettable at the same time.

Rated: C

Elements of Madness

If you love terrible puns, a bevy of Mel Brooks-related references, and samurais crossing swords, you could do far worse than "Paws of Fury."

Rated: 3/5

There’s arguably enough action, visual, verbal and scatological gags to keep the kids entertained.

Surprisingly funny. I had pretty low expectations for the movie, but a great cast and a healthy dose of puns and fourth wall breaking had me amused. The constant references to other movies was also great. Very Mel Brooks.
