Is ‘Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank’ Streaming On Disney+, HBO Max or Netflix?

If you’ve ever watched Blazing Saddles and thought, “Man, I wish there were an animated, kid-friendly version of this movie featuring cartoon animals and way more fart jokes,” then boy, does Paramount have the movie for you.

Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank, opens in theaters this Friday, and is loosely inspired by the famed Mel Brooks comedy. (Brooks even voices a character in the movie.) Michael Cera stars as the voice of a timid dog named Hank, who hopes to become a fearsome warrior under the training of his samurai cat mentor, Jimbo, voiced by Samuel L. Jackson. He needs to do it fast, too, before the evil cat Chu (voiced by Ricky Gervais) destroys his town.

Also starring George Takei, Aasif Mandvi, Gabriel Iglesias, Djimon Hounsou, and Michelle Yeoh, Paws of Fury likely won’t win any Oscars, but likely will keep your kids entertained for two hours. What more can you ask for? Here’s what to know about where to watch Paws of Fury and when to expect Paws of Fury on streaming.

WHERE TO WATCH PAWS OF FURY: THE LEGEND OF HANK:

For now, the only way to watch Paws of Fury is to go to a movie theater. Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank will open in theaters in the U.S on Friday, July 15. You can find tickets at a theater near you via Fandango.

After the movie’s theatrical run, you will be able to stream Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank on Paramount+, the Paramount streaming service. Paramount+ offers a premium plan priced at $9.99/month or an ad-supported plan for $5.99/month.

WILL PAWS OF FURY: THE LEGEND OF HANK BE STREAMING ON HBO MAX?

No. Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank is a Paramount movie, not a Warner Bros. movie, and therefore will not be streaming on HBO Max when it opens in theaters. More than that, HBO Max will no longer be streaming theatrical movies in 2022. Last year, Warner Media opted to simultaneously release its theatrical slate on streaming, meaning HBO Max subscribers could watch movies like Matrix Resurrections at home. This year, however, Warner Bros. theatrical movies will have a 45-day theaters-only run before moving to HBO Max. The movie may be on HBO Max someday, but it won’t be any time soon.

IS PAWS OF FURY: THE LEGEND OF HANK ON NETFLIX?

No. Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank is not on Netflix, and, because it’s going to Paramount+, it likely will not be on Netflix any time soon. Sorry!

WHEN WILL PAWS OF FURY BE STREAMING ONLINE? PAW OF FURY PARAMOUNT PLUS RELEASE:

While there is not an official Paramount+ release date for Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank, we can expect Paws of Fury to be on Paramount+ after about 45 days in theaters. Last year, Paramount announced all of its titles would be moving to Paramount+ after 30 days in theaters, while big tentpole titles would get 45 days in theaters. Therefore, you should see Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank on Paramount+ around the last week of August 2022.

It’s not clear if you will also be able to buy or rent Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank on VOD at the same time it releases on Paramount+. While The Lost City came to digital on the same day it was released on Paramount+, the release of Jackass Forever on Paramount+ was not accompanied by a VOD release. Instead, Jackass Forever came to VOD about a week after it was released on Paramount+. Therefore, if you want to be able to watch Paws of Fury: The Legend of Hank on streaming as soon as it’s available, your best bet is to sign up for Paramount+.
