![]() Paws of Fury follows Brooks’ original playbook right down to a horse-punching moment and a group farting scene but doesn’t capture his thrilling boundary-pushing vibe.Įven those who didn’t hate it, like Claire Shaffer in the New York Times, aren’t exactly in love with the film:ĭespite its risqué origins, Paws of Fury manages to dish out lighthearted fun, swashbuckling action and surface-level messaging about following your dreams, though not every joke lands. What emerged sits uneasily at the corner of tribute, parody, theft and laziness. The studio seems to have reached for legitimacy by bringing the venerated Brooks along for the bumpy ride, darkening both legacies. Paramount’s limp, animated remake actually triggers new stereotypes in the service of trying to expose racism for a pre-teen audience. Mark Kennedy of the Associated Press thought the film’s attempts to mimic Brooks’s original live-action classic fell flat: Paws Of Fury defangs that film’s commentary and turns its R-rated ambitions into a reminder of exactly why there need to be more people of color involved in the creative decision-making-on all projects, but especially ones like this. Whether or not its predecessor holds up (fully or even in part) to contemporary standards of sensitivity, Blazing Saddles not only enlisted Richard Pryor as a screenwriter but at least aspired to comment on the bigotry it depicts. Of the eight companies and about 300 cast and crew members involved, it’s clear that not enough red flags were raised-if any-about the thoughtlessness of this production and its portrayals. ![]() Martin Tsai at the AV Club condemned some of the film’s content as “ morally reprehensible”: ![]() The jokes get coughed up and sit there, like furballs on the carpet. Mel Brooks, who is one of the film’s executive producers, has a voice role - he’s the Shogun, who says things like “There’s no business like Shogun business.” One wants to cut the great Mel, who’s 96, some slack, but that’s a line your grandfather probably wouldn’t have laughed at, and too much of the humor in Paws of Fury is like that. Paws of Fury is an efficient yet underimagined animated fable that barely musters the flavor of a cliché Western comedy. Variety’s Owen Gleiberman points out the film’s tired humor: Around half of critics have given a thumb’s down to Paws of Fury on Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic, and even the positive reviews are not exactly enthusiastic. ![]() feature animation currently has to offer.Ĭritics are obviously having a field day with the movie, which was directed by Rob Minkoff, Mark Koetsier, and Chris Bailey. In 2022, however, the film looks and feels like a dated relic that is out of touch stylistically and culturally with what the U.S. Bump Chan and her variants have documented use on 4chan and other imageboards even through 2012.Why were so many people committed to remaking a kiddified version of Mel Brooks’s classic Blazing Saddles that was clearly a bad idea from conception? That’s a question that no logical person can answer, but there is the possibility that Paws of Fury may have seemed slightly less anachronistic if it had come out years ago as originally intended. Other artists have created their own versions of Bump Girl/Chan along with creating versions of other characters such as Age Man, Age Girl and Sage Girl/Chan. ![]() Afterwards, the artist went on to create other "waves" in addition to two comics, one of which is currently in progress. From there, he used Bump Chan (as he refers to her) to continue his search while serving as an impetus to continue doodling. The suspected original artist "volcanomoon" (also known as Rage the Dragoon among other aliases) made Bump Girl/Chan as a means to bribe 4chan users into providing a source for another animated gif. She is depicted as being abstracted and in the nude, and wearing a purple headband and the phrase "bump" on her chest. The character is used in images, often pornographic, with other characters called "Age" and "Sage". Bump, bumpchan, bumpgirl, bump girl, bump chan, bump tan, bumpgirlchanīump Girl refers to the personification of posts used on 4chan to bump threads, or refresh them for others to see. ![]()
