Animation is proving as popular as ever on Netflix. At the time of writing, old favorites such as 2010's Megamind are back in the charts, with the unstoppable force of KPop Demon Hunters becoming one of the streamer's biggest hits of the year. Now there's a new animation on the platform, only this one you won't want to watch with the whole family. Co-written and directed by Genndy Tartakovsky, the raunchy animated dog comedy, Fixed, made its Netflix debut on August 13 and is already receiving plenty of praise.
The certified fresh rating on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes to date is more than worthy of celebration, especially considering the bumpy road the film had until this point, a zero-to-hero story Tartakovsky calls "incredible." The film boasts an impressive voice cast, including the likes of Idris Elba and Kathryn Hahn, fresh from Heads of State and The Studio, respectively, as well as Adam Devine, Fred Armisen, Bobby Moynihan, and Beck Bennett.
Ahead of the movie's release, Tartakovsky sat with Collider's Steve Weintraub to chat about all things Fixed, from the long and winding journey the film had to get made, the excitement of animated movies proving popular on Netflix, some of the film's most eye-opening scenes, and much more.
