Press Release

The film boasts an all-star cast including Michael Cera (Scott Pilgrim vs the World), Samuel L. Jackson (Pulp Fiction), Ricky Gervais (After Life), Mel Brooks, George Takei, Aasif Mandvi, Gabriel Iglesias, Djimon Hounsou, Michelle Yeoh, Kylie Kuioka, and Cathy Shim.

A hard-on-his-luck hound Hank (Michael Cera) finds himself in a town full of cats who need a hero to defend them from a ruthless villain's (Ricky Gervais) evil plot to wipe their village off the map. With help from a reluctant teacher (Samuel L. Jackson) 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!

Oh, and beans, lots and lots of beans [yes they included the Blazing Saddles fart joke - Ed]
