So the movie theatre I work at has this saying about one of our screens. "Screen 10 is where movies go to die." It's the smallest and oldest screen we have and movies that end up un there are the ones doomed to not do very well in the box office. Paws of Fury was shoved in there on day one and only sells maximum 8 tickets per showing. They tried to switch it with Minions one day, and that was the first day we had 5 people in one of our largest screens and a sold out show in screen 10. We can't force the doom. Screen 10 chooses which movies will die. That's all I know about this movie.

[@davidthecommenter]

_Paws of Fury_ looks like it tries so hard to become the next Kung Fu Panda, but it's no surprise that it fails spectacularly due to the fact that there are several Kung Fu Panda rip-offs out there. This time, it's just the kid-friendly Blazing Saddles.

Fun fact: en español latino, the movie is called "El perro samurai, la leyenda de cacamucho", which now that i've seen the original title, it baffles me, for my friends here, the title translates to "The samurai dog, the legend of poopymuch" there is no translation of cacamucho as it is a words play that means a lot of sh, but as a 6 year old would say it. No wonder why cacamucho is a perfect title for this....... Thing

If you ever create any piece of art with the phrase "The Legend of Hank," it is going to do horribly no questions asked.

[@1-upanimations878]

For me…this is a Hot take, but: If they did this in a 2D hybrid style or just plain 2D, kept some of the humor or toned it down, made it not an obvious comparison to something alike, and just made it a series…instead of rushing the story. I’m saying this, but I am; it could’ve been at home with some of the other Nickelodeon shows from 2000’s or 2010’s. Idk, I’m just a guy with an opinion.

[@comonosquieranllamar3529]

I think you have the wrong idea about this film. It puts forth many valuable lessons about many pressing and big issues in our modern society in this day and age. It explores many heavy themes such as racism, sexism, inequality, unemployment, alcoholism, drug abuse. It also covers unstable and corrupt governments that care more about themselves than the lives of their citizens. It also touches on other topics such as violence, weapons use and abuse, as well as how people sometimes fail to deal with fame correctly and let it get to their heads. It's truly *a* film, *one of* the movies of 2022. (I am, of course, joking. Merely jesting. I am being a clown, doing a bit of tomfoolery)
