“A hard-on-his-luck hound Hank finds himself in a town full of cats who need a hero to defend them from a ruthless villain’s evil plot to wipe their village off the map. With help from a reluctant teacher to train him, our underdog must assume the role of town samurai and team up with the villagers to save the day. The only problem… cats hate dogs!”

The film is directed by Rob Minkoff and Mark Koetsier from a screenplay written by Ed Stone and Nate Hopper, loosely based on Mel Brooks’ 1974 film Blazing Saddles.
