Warner Bros. has dropped adult animated film Fixed from writer/director Genndy Tartakovsky, IGN has confirmed with sources close to the production. As first reported by Puck News and Variety , the film’s rights will now go back to Sony Pictures Animation, which produced Fixed and will try to find a new distributor.
Variety reports that one possible candidate would be Netflix, with Sony Pictures Animation having teamed with the streaming platform on previous films like The Mitchells vs. The Machines. If Sony doesn’t find a buyer, however, Fixed could go the way of scrapped WB films like Batgirl , Scoob! Holiday Haunt , and Coyote vs.
Acme . Sources tell IGN that Warner Bros. picked up Fixed when WarnerMedia was still owned by AT&T, back when the company was pursuing a strategy of one movie per month on its streaming service, then known as HBO Max (now simply Max).
That strategy is no longer being pursued by Warner Bros. Discovery. Luckily, WB worked with the filmmakers to cover the production costs, although it now lies with Sony to find distribution.
Sony Pictures Animation’s website describes Fixed as “an adult animated comedy about Bull, an average, all-around good dog who discovers he’s going to be neutered in the morning! As the gravity of this life-altering event sets in, Bull realizes he needs one last adventure with his pack of best friends as these are the last 24 hours with his balls! What could go wrong...
