‘Fixed’ Review: From the Mind of Genndy Tartakovsky Comes a Comedy About a Horndog With a Castration Complex


In 'Fixed,' Genndy Tartakovsky intends to offend with a gleefully inappropriate account of how far a household dog will go to evade the scalpel.

Produced by Sony Pictures Animation and dropping on Netflix, where it should be right at home with the likes of “BoJack Horseman” and “Big Mouth,” the off-color comedy focuses on how a randy rescue mutt (Adam Devine as Bull) reacts to the news he’s about to be neutered. Sacrificing good taste in pursuit of the higher goal — which could be described as joining “Fritz the Cat” in animated infamy — Tartakovsky and co-writer Jon Vitti (a veteran of “Saturday Night Live” and “The Simpsons”) make no apologies for the project’s obscene sense of humor. Compare that to classic Tex Avery and Roger Rabbit shorts, which looked kid-friendly but were full of adult-skewing sexual innuendo, and you’ve got a movie that’s not only comfortable being outrageous, but fairly original in how it goes about it (a vast improvement over 2023’s live-action “Strays”).
