Fixed (film)

Fixed is an upcoming American adult animated black comedy film produced by Columbia Pictures, Sony Pictures Animation, and New Line Cinema, and distributed by Sony Pictures Releasing and Warner Bros. Pictures. The first adult animated film from Sony Pictures Animation, as well as the studio's first traditionally animated film and the first film to feature the involvement of another film studio, it is directed by Genndy Tartakovsky, who co-wrote the screenplay written with Jon Vitti and co-produced with Michelle Murdocca. The film stars the voices of Adam DeVine, Idris Elba, Kathryn Hahn, Fred Armisen, Bobby Moynihan, and Beck Bennett. The story follows a blue bloodhound named Bull, who discovers he is going to be neutered in the morning.

The film was first conceived in 2009 as Buds, an animal road trip film, before eventually becoming Fixed. Following the successes of Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation (2018) and the fifth and final season of Samurai Jack (2017), Tartakovsky was signed on to direct two original animated features for SPA: Fixed and Black Knight. For Fixed, he avoided relying on pop-culture jokes to include more character-focused humor, allowing the film to stand out among other R-rated animated films. Production began in July 2022 and was completed in September 2023, while the cast was publicly announced in June 2023. It currently has no set release date.
