Genndy Tartakovsky's "Fixed"

[Scofisticated]

It's def not the most inspired plot. This wont change lives. But still quite serviceable, if you like the jokes.

"Review: “Fixed”: Crude Canines Discover Love"​

"This movie was almost fixed to be without a home. Originally set to be released in theaters by Warner Bros. Discovery – and notably Genndy Tartakovsky’s first adult animated film – the result of a metaphorical money bulldozer left it snipped from release before Netflix swooped in to save the day. A raunchy trailer full of dogs’ favorite bodily functions left a bad taste in many potential viewers’ mouths – but is there more to chew on here beyond the first sniff?

Bull is a spoiled terrier who has grown too big for his britches – so big, in fact, that his owners have decided it’s time for him to say goodbye to the baby factory, for the sake of his elderly nana’s leg. There’s one big opportunity Bull’s about to miss – his pining for the fancy neighbor dog Honey, leagues above him, and still gives him the time of day and the possibility of what if. Time is running out for Bull’s intactness – will he be able to get the girl and keep his manhood, or is it just a matter of time until he heads back into the park with a cone of shame?

As one could expect from the premise and MPAA rating, there’s nonstop crude humor from about two minutes in through the credits of Fixed. It’s quite a bit different from what animation fans have grown to expect from Genndy Tartakovsky. While not afraid to draw a woman with hips or even an entire infamous ‘booty quake’ sequence, there is an almost concerningly loving detail brought to dogs’ backsides and genitals here. It’s easy to draw comparisons to Sausage Party here, but there is something distinctly different about Fixed which makes it a bit easier to sit through. It could be that the dogs have far more likable personalities – they’re not as immediately crude and hateful to one another as Sausage Party frequently drags out. The humor is crude and often focused on bodily functions, but it isn’t offensive in any other way, other than an unfortunate gag made of male-on-male sexual violence that was more common in comedies twenty years prior. Still, some of the swearing definitely feels like it’s there to have a cartoon animal swear, with most people with an Internet connection have probably gotten their fair share of over the years."
