Paws Of Fury: The Legend Of Hank trailer:
The official trailer is kick-started by the actor Samuel L. Jackson, who introduces the film and explains that he will be playing the character of a samurai cat. The clip that follows depicts a gentle-looking dog who enters a town of cats in an attempt to escape the canine gangsters of his hometown.
The trailer also captures some of the ways in which the animated film will appeal to adult audiences too. For example, at one point Hank, the main dog, breaks the fourth wall by saying ‘Hey, this is the training montage isn’t it?’, before it cuts to exactly that. An upbeat tempo is achieved by the backing song, which is Cut Em In by Anderson .Paak featuring Rick Ross. There is childish, toilet humour (a clan of farting cats), and witty word play, such as ‘what the mother father cocker spaniel’ as a creative alternative to swearing. These elements combine to promise a film which should appeal to a wide-ranging audience.
