Fans living for 'unhinged' new Netflix movie starring Idris Elba as a dog
The first trailer for a raunchy new cartoon comedy, boasting a hugely A-list cast, has finally dropped. Following the huge success of animated film KPop Demon Hunter, Fixed will be released on Netflix on August 13, and is the latest offering from director Genndy Tartakovsky, known for his work on Dexter's Laboratory, Primal and the Powerpuff Girls. It follows Pitch Perfect star Adam DeVine as Bull, a dog who realizes that he's just hours away from being neutered and rounds up his closest friends to enjoy one final day of wild freedom. Idris Elba, Kathryn Hahn, Fred Armisen Michelle Buteau and Bobby Moynihan also make up the star-studded voice cast. The teaser begins with the pooch humping his 'nanna', leading to his family taking him to the vet to get the problem fixed.

His pal, Rocco (Idris) doesn't take this lying down, telling him: 'We're going to go out there and suck every bit of fun out of those balls before you lose them.' This leads to the pups going 'dog wild' on one crazy night, including stops at a doggy strip club and a close encounter with a squirrel. Fans couldn't get enough of the trailer and flocked to social media to unpack the bizarre scenes, branding Fixed both 'hilarious' and 'unhinged'. Heading to the comments below the trailer on YouTube, Jayden3639 said: 'This will probably be one of the most unhinged movies of the year.' 'I've been waiting a year for this trailer, it's worth it,' Thiagoguerrero7707 cheered. Nabeelmirza221 quipped: 'This has entered into the list of 'Wtf did I just watch'. Looks hilarious though.' JavierAndrade96 joked: 'I've always wondered what an r-rated Lady and the Tramp would be like!' As added: 'This looks way more unhinged than Strays from 2 years ago.' Fixed has been in the works for over a decade – the movie was produced by Sony Pictures Animation and Genndy initially signed on to direct but it faced a string issues and delays behind the scenes. 'Bull is every man, he is lovable, funny, witty, and confident,' the filmmaker told Tudum about his new project. 'Then at the same time, he is also nervous, shy, neurotic, and anxious. A complete human, as a dog. 'His journey is quite simple. He believes that his powers come from his dangly bits, but he learns that it is what is inside that is important. 'Some of the material is a bit raunchy so we had to find people that were receptive to our sense of humor, and boy, did we.' More Trending The official synopsis reads: 'From visionary director Genndy Tartakovsky comes Fixed, 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…?'

‘Fixed' Trailer: Genndy Tartakovsky's Animated Dog Story is Definitely Not For Kids
For two decades, animation auteur Genndy Tartakovsky has been pushing the limits of kids' animation, via beloved shows like 'Dexter's Laboratory' and 'Samurai Jack.' In recent years, he's largely abandoned the constraints of children's media entirely, with his latest projects like the 'Samurai Jack' reboot and 'Primal' airing on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim block and indulging in violence and gore befitting the grown ups who grew up watching and loving his old classics. His latest project, feature film 'Fixed,' is mature in a completely different way, telling a dog story with wildly puerile and filthy sexual humor. And that's on full display in the Director's Cut trailer, which Netflix released this Thursday. Directed by Tartakovsky and co-written by him and Jon Vitti (best known for his work on 'The Simpsons'), 'Fixed' focuses on 24 hours in the life of Bull (voiced by Adam DeVine), a good-natured bloodhound with a habit of humping everyone around him. When he discovers that his owners are going to neuter him, he journeys out to the city with other dogs in his neighborhood to embark on one last wild night with his balls while he still has them. The red-band trailer shows what that entails, and it includes: Squirrels getting graphically torn up and eaten, rats chewing on comically large dog genitals, and an extended sequence with female dog 'strippers.' More from IndieWire Why the Emmy Nominations Still Matter 'Shari & Lamb Chop' Review: Shari Lewis and Her Most Famous Puppet Get the Star Treatment They Deserve Tartakovsky's first traditional 2D animated film after directing several 'Hotel Transylvania' movies for Sony Pictures Animation, 'Fixed' comes to Netflix after a lengthy and difficult process to find distribution. Tartakovsky originally conceived of the film in 2009, and it was announced in 2018 after the success of his three 'Hotel Transylvania' films. Produced by Sony, the film was originally set to be distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures through their New Line Cinema distribution arm, only to get dropped and have its theatrical release canceled in 2024. Netflix would ultimately save the film, acquiring the rights for it earlier this year. Aside from Devine, 'Fixed' features a large ensemble voice cast that includes Idris Elba, Kathryn Hahn, Fred Armisen, Bobby Moynihan, Beck Bennett, Michelle Buteau, and River Gallo. The movie originally premiered at the 2025 Annecy International Animation Film Festival on June 11, and will premiere on Netflix August 13. Watch the complete trailer below.

‘Fixed' Trailer: Netflix Unveils Director's Cut Taster For Genndy Tartakovsky's R-Rated Comedy About A Randy Dog
Dog lovers around the world may find it hard to look their male, canine friends in the eyes again after watching Genndy Tartakovsky's upcoming adult animated movie Fixed. The R-rated comedy follows the adventures of Bull an average, all-around good dog who discovers he's going to be taken to the vet to be neutered in the morning by his owners, exasperated by his constant humping of grandma's leg. More from Deadline Everything We Know About 'Stranger Things' Season 5 So Far Michelle Monaghan Joins John Cena & Eric André In Netflix Comedy 'Little Brother' Austin Nichols Teases 'One Tree Hill' Revival As He Hopes For "Some Good News Soon" As the gravity of this life-altering event sets in, Bull realizes he needs one last adventure with his pack of best friends in the last 24 hours with his balls intact. Netflix has released a red band director's cut trailer for the movie – giving a taster of the whacky boundary-pushing animation ahead of its launch on the platform on August 13. The movie world premiered to an enthusiastic crowd at the Annecy International Film Festival in June and also received a thumbs up from Deadline Chief Critic Pete Hammond. Read his review here. Comedian and actor Adam Divine (Pitch Perfect) voices Bull and is joined in the voice cast by Idris Elba as a self-assured boxer named Rocco, Bobby Moynihan as goofy pal Lucky, and Fred Armisen as wannabe influencer dachshund Fetch. The true object of his desire, statuesque pedigree show dog Honey, is voiced by Kathryn Hahn. The voice cast also features Beck Bennett, Michelle Buteau and River Gallo. Some 16 years in the making, from conception to release, Fixed is a passion project for Tartakovsky, who is best known internationally as the director of the Hotel Transylvania animated movie franchise as well as shows such as Dexter's Laboratory and Samurai Jack. He wrote the screenplay with Jon Vitti, from a story they conceived with Steve Greenber and Rich Lufrano. The Sony Pictures Animations production is produced by Michelle Murdocca, who produced all three Hotel Transylvania films, with Christian Roedel as co-producer. Ahead of its Netflix release, the movie will also close Montreal's Fantasia International Film Festival in early August.

‘Fixed' Review: From the Mind of Genndy Tartakovsky Comes a Comedy About a Horndog With a Castration Complex
Next time someone tells you animation is for kids, consider offering 'Fixed' as clear evidence to the contrary. Crude in both senses of the term — from its raunchy humor to the deliberately un-slick animation style — Genndy Tartakovsky's R-rated feature is to 'Lady and the Tramp' as 'Shaving Ryan's Privates' is to a respected Spielberg movie. 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. Bull has balls (which are lovingly drawn beneath his asterisk-shaped keister), but not for long. That is, unless he can figure out some way to outwit his owners, who've done little to domesticate their beloved if misbehaved companion since the day they adopted him. 'Fixed' starts out irreverent — with a scene of Bull moaning in ecstasy as he mounts Nana's leg — and gets increasingly brazen as it goes along, which is no easy feat for gutter humor to sustain. More from Variety Indian Animation Returns to Annecy with Namaste MIFA! Showcase Cartoon Network Studios Icons McCracken, Tartakovsky, Sugar, Quintel, Ward and Muto on The Studio, State of the Industry and What Inspires Them 'Animal Farm' Review: Andy Serkis' Sloppy Animated Adaptation Trades Political Insights for Potty Humor Most shock comedies peter out after the first few gags, whereas 'Fixed' rivals 'Pink Flamingoes' in its ever-escalating capacity to offend — and doesn't stop at eating doggy doo either. By the end, Bull's willing to risk his asterisk to protect Honey (Kathryn Hahn), the purebred Afghan hound who lives next door. A fence separates the two neighbors, but there's obvious chemistry between them, even if Bull believes Honey's out of his league — and it's easy to see why, since Honey's a prize-winning show dog destined to be mated with the stuck-up Sterling (Beck Bennett). So the toon's cheeky plot goes something like this: Early on, Bull feels superior to all the neutered animals at the dog park because he's still got his gonads. He loves Honey, but doubts he'll be able to do anything about it before the vet gets to snipping. So Bull runs away from home, enjoying the canine equivalent of an Amish Rumspringa, only to realize he might not be cut out for freedom after all. Frankly, that premise is little more than the setup for the sort of jokes that feel 'wrong' — in all the right ways — to find in an animated feature. Nana mistakes Bull's excitement for her lipstick? Check. Lucky the Chihuahua (Bobby Moynihan) snacks on cat scraps? Check. There's even a hallucinatory pot-induced scene where Bull's dangling duo (whom he names Old Spice and Napoleon) declare their independence and set off on their own. 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'). In genre terms, 'Fixed' amounts to a pooch-centric variation on the 'American Pie'-style sex comedy. If you don't count Nana's leg (or the fruit bowls and flowerpots that Bull's been defiling for years), then this oversexed canine is still a virgin. By the time Bull and his friends find a cathouse where he can satisfy his urges, the movie is bone-deep into 'oh no, they didn't' territory. While Lucky gets lucky with a Doberman named Frankie (River Gallo), Bull and his boys, Rocco (Idris Elba) and Fetch (Fred Armisen), explore the kind of cartoon kinks not even Seth Rogen's 'Sausage Party' dared to depict. Unlikely as it may sound, inside this den of depravity, 'Fixed' finally gets emotional. It wouldn't do to spoil the surprises. Suffice to say, the film proves impressively grown-up about how far Bull must go to atone for his behavior. Turns out you can teach a horndog new tricks.
