Genndy Tartakovsky’s R-Rated Fixed Sets Netflix Release Date

Posted on by Mikaela

We spoke with Tartakovsky exclusively about what happened with “Fixed” now that it has finally been adopted. NEXON has announced the return of the ‘2025 Icons Match,’ a live event that brings a full roster of legendary players to the pitch. Black women are some of anime’s most iconic characters, and that has a big impact on Black anime fans. Fraser is due to appear at Kingston Crown Court on Thursday, when a date for his sentencing is expected to be fixed.

Just give me the rights to the movie and if people start coming to see it and spread word of mouth, great. If not, then I know we had a miss,” Tartakovsky, who previously directed three hit “Hotel Transylvania” movies for Sony and wrote a fourth, said. Inevitably, Bull is neutered, but not before he becomes the father of his and Honey’s litter of thirteen puppies three months later. Meanwhile, Sterling discovers that he will also be neutered, much to his horror as Luther mocks him. Later on, Honey and her own pack of friends visit the strip club from earlier to watch a grizzly bear twerk, to the delight of the audience and to Bull, fixed asset turnover ratio formula Rocco, Fetch and Lucky’s astonishment. Devine’s voice work is jarring throughout the film, and always puts me in surprise when it comes out of Bull.

Other Word Forms

Much of what we see happen feels more at home with a shock jock than in a film that ultimately does try to offer some heartfelt takeaways for its adult audience. For now, though, he’s just thrilled that people will get to see “Fixed,” which has a voice cast that includes Adam Devine, Idris Elba, Fred Armisen, Kathryn Hahn and Bobby Moynihan and is, we cannot stress this enough, extremely hilarious. When the movie premieres on Netflix he wants two things – one, for audiences to laugh; and two, he wants the to appreciate how great hand-drawn animation is (again). He said that he is currently trying to get two original animated movies made, including his long-in-development “Black Knight.” And maybe this relationship with Netflix will open up some doors previously thought shut? He teases that he is in development on a series for the streamer as well.

  • When it comes to jokes, they never crack through the low-hanging fruit that comes with a narrative about a dog trying desperately to keep his ball and avoid being neutered.
  • It would make the complexity that I am feeling much less frustrating.
  • The animation was done by Renegade Animation and Lightstar Studios.
  • Derderian oversees adult animation for Netflix, which made more sense for his team.
  • The foursome get into various shenanigans, such as infiltrating a dog show that Honey is competing in alongside Sterling.
  • One day, Bull’s owners pamper him with treats, toys and Kool-Aid-flavored toilet water.

It would make the complexity that I am feeling much less frustrating. By no means should Fixed be called great, but it is a massive swing for the adult animation fences in a time where we get so little of it that I can’t help but understand where it’s coming from. Still, the humor in this Netflix Original animated film pushes the boundary of offense so much that it loses any substance that it would have found otherwise. When it comes to jokes, they never crack through the low-hanging fruit that comes with a narrative about a dog trying desperately to keep his ball and avoid being neutered. It’s raunchy, definitely gross, and at times trying to shock so much that it falls flat. The project started, Tartakovsky said, with a concept he developed at Sony in 2009.

How Genndy Tartakovsky’s R-Rated Animated Dog Comedy ‘Fixed’ Got Adopted by Netflix Exclusive

  • Netflix’s Animation Series team, led by John Derderian, got involved.
  • The project started, Tartakovsky said, with a concept he developed at Sony in 2009.
  • Still, it’s a risk worth taking as a viewer, and one that at the very least can be appreciated for consistently pushing animation boundaries.
  • Realizing that Honey and Sterling will breed due to them winning the dog show, Bull and his friends escape the pound and venture to Bull’s house, though Lucky deviates from the group to reunite with Frankie.

It’s a risk worth taking as a viewer, and one that at the very least can be appreciated for consistently pushing animation boundaries. Tartakovsky had worked with Warner Bros. for years; all of his television series, including the Emmy-winning adult animated series “Primal,” have been released through TV divisions of Warner Bros. But New Line Cinema had a change of heart and instead of orphaning the movie altogether, the rights reverted to Sony. And now, almost two years later, it’s finally coming out.

He wanted to capture the goofy camaraderie of Tartakovsky and his group of really close friends. They’ve been friends since high school and are always able to make each other laugh. Maybe he could replicate that dynamic in an animated feature. The film was first conceived in 2009, and development began in 2018. Pictures was originally set to distribute the film, but had dropped the film by August 2024 as part of cost-saving measures by Warner Bros. Netflix later acquired the distribution rights to the film, and it had its world premiere on June 11, 2025, at the 2025 Annecy International Animation Film Festival, before releasing on Netflix on August 13 to mixed reviews from critics.

Bull manages to physically intervene between Honey and Sterling as they’re about to breed, going unnoticed by Sterling. However, an oblivious Sterling unknowingly sodomizes Bull, believing to be breeding with Honey. Bull confesses his feelings for her, apologizes, and then leaves.

The art style immediately calls back to the days of Ren & Stimpy, and it works exceptionally well. Aesthetically, we haven’t seen animation like this in well over a decade. It makes the film feel nostalgic, while the story and characters maintain their originality.

And hopefully it would grow and open up the opportunity to do more and different material, perhaps R-rated animated films,” Tartakovsky said. In the west, animation is still in “a tight little box.” Hopefully “Fixed” can help explode that notion. “I have a lot of high hopes and big dreams and aspirations for success, but I’m just happy it’s coming out,” Tartakovsky said. On that strength alone and performances around the main character, Fixed gets to go to heaven.

As Bull decides to return home and face his impending neutering, Rocco convinces him to have one last wild night on the town to make sure his last night of being intact will be one to remember.

Release

“Fixed” had an interesting production and distribution set-up, where it was technically a Sony Pictures Animation film, but it was to be released by New Line Cinema, a division of Warner Bros. The animation was done by Renegade Animation and Lightstar Studios. One day, Bull’s owners pamper him with treats, toys and Kool-Aid-flavored toilet water. Bull realizes that he is due to be neutered the following morning, as Luther, a Great Dane, had a similar pre-neutered experience. Bull bemoans his experience, alienates his friends as they attempt to comfort him and decides to leave home in order to save himself from being sterilized. Soon, Bull, Honey and the others are seized by animal control and taken to the dog pound, where Honey is eventually released when her owners are contacted about her whereabouts via a microchip in her fur.
