http://deadline.com/2015/02/blazing-saddles-animated-movie-blazing-saddles-open-road-1201366919/
Open Road Films has acquired U.S. distribution rights to the animated family film Blazing Samurai, a project being produced by The Lion King director Rob Minkoff, Yair Landau (Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs) and Susan Purcell. Strong names for the pic, which will be an interesting play: the distributor is calling it a family film “loosely based on the iconic 1974 film Blazing Saddles.”
The comedy centers on a scrappy young dog named Hank who fights to save the town of Kakamucho from becoming the litter box of a nefarious feline warlord, transforming society and himself on his quest to become a true samurai. An April 14, 2017 release date has been set.

Wait...what? SMH.
