There’s never been a film quite like FIXED. Animated with the zany elasticity of classic cartoons, injected with the irreverent heart of an Apatow rom-com, and pulsing with the kind of no-holds-barred energy that only an R rating can unleash, Genndy Tartakovsky’s latest creation asks a question no other film has dared: What does a dog do on the night before he’s neutered? The answer, it turns out, involves friendship, chaos, and a whole lot of bodily humor—all delivered in glorious, hand-drawn animation.
In a career that’s taken us from Dexter’s Laboratory to Samurai Jack to Primal, Genndy has built a legacy out of explosive action, minimal dialogue, and stories that feel as instinctual as they are cinematic. But with FIXED, the five-time Emmy winner trades swords and silence for something a little… furrier.
Awards Buzz’s Sari Cohen sat down with Tartakovsky to talk creative freedom, the art of cartoon absurdity, and what it really means to party like tomorrow’s your last pair.
FIXED is out now on Netflix.
