A clueless dog is forced into the position of samurai for a town full of cats ...and they're powers that wish to destroy him. My wife and I found this film to be quite entertaining and, at times, laugh-out-loud funny. The characters were a joy to watch and provided with plenty of personality by an all-star cast of voices. Being the engine behind this, Mel Brooks pulled out a hefty bag of tricks that included "Blazing Saddles" tropes, constantly breaking the fourth wall and a parody of toilet humor using toilet humor that was a riot. The low IMDb rating confounds me. Fun! -- DrNostrom...
