Director Genndy Tartakovsky’s longtime passion project, the raunchy R-rated, Sony Pictures Animation comedy Fixed, is finally here. You can check it out now on Netflix. But first… here’s my Animation Scoop Q&A with three of its stars — Adam Devine, Beck Bennett and River Gallo. (This interview was edited for length and clarity. Images: Courtesy of Netflix.)

Jackson Murphy: Adam, Bull has quite the night. It’s the evening before he’s going to be neutered. There are a lot of emotions that your character really goes through. How challenging was that physically when it comes to your voice performance?

Adam Devine: It wasn’t. (laughs) I feel like I was perfectly cast as this dog, who is too horny for his own good. It was fun to play. There was a range of emotions, where at first he’s humping everything, and then you realize that he’s anxious and that he’s in love. Is that love story actually gonna come to fruition? A scary night out at first and then his friends meet up with him. They end up having a great night. It was fun to play that range of emotions, while still being a dirty dog!

Genndy Tartakovsky’s R-rated, 2D Fixed has finally arrived on Netflix (streaming August 13) after a rapturous reception at Annecy. The raunchy yet sweet canine sex comedy, from Sony Pictures Animation and New Line Cinema, needed rescuing after Warner Bros. Discovery shelved it. Recall that they did the same with Coyote vs. Acme and The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie before Ketchup Entertainment came to the rescue with distribution deals.

In stepped John Derderian, Netflix’s VP of animation series, to save Fixed. But after the tremendous bounce at Annecy, Tartakovsky’s “unicorn” film will now be qualified for Oscar consideration.
