The director Rob Minkoff said that Blazing Samurai is an action-packed movie that is enjoyable to both children with family.

The producer Guy Collins stated, “Seeing Blazing Samurai come together has been a huge boost in these COVID-impacted times. This was always an ambitious independent animated movie yet the combination of the production, creative and CG animation teams has been seamless and that shines through in the showreel.”

“Having such outstanding animation creatives, Rob Minkoff and Mark Koetsier guiding production and working with the Cinesite team means that what we’re seeing on screen is truly world class,” he added.
