Two first look images have been released for Blazing Samurai, the upcoming action-packed animated comedy which is based on Mel Brooks’ 1974 comedy classic Blazing Saddles; check them out here…
Blazing Samurai follows the story of Hank, a loveable mutt with big dreams of becoming a Samurai. When he finds himself with a new job as sheriff of Kakamucho, he also finds he may have bitten off more than he can chew given the town is inhabited solely by cats. Produced by Disney’s The Lion King director, Rob Minkoff, and from the mind of comedy genius Mel Brooks, this Japanese-inspired animated comedy teaches kids and adults alike that embracing diversity is what truly makes you a hero.
Blazing Samurai features the voice talents of Michael Cera, Samuel L. Jackson, Ricky Gervais, George Takei, Michelle Yeoh, Djimon Hounsou and Mel Brooks. It is set for release later this year.
