Warner Bros. will no longer release Genndy Tartakovsky’s hand-drawn 2d film Fixed, per a report in the Puck newsletter that has subsequently been confirmed by other media outlets. The adult comedy is about a dog’s wild last day before getting neutered.

According to Puck’s Matthew Belloni:

The project, a co-production of Warners’ New Line and Sony Pictures, was finished last year, with a voice cast including Adam Devine and Kathryn Hahn. But Warners has decided not to release it. Instead, it has given the movie back to Sony, which is now trying to sell it to a streamer or another distributor. Without a buyer, Fixed will probably meet the same fate as Batgirl or Coyote vs. Acme.

As Belloni indicated, the film was wrapped up last year – October 2023 is the date we’ve heard – and has been awaiting a release slot ever since. Though produced by Sony Pictures Animation, it was made in partnership and funded by Warner Bros.’ New Line Cinema, the latter of which has backed out of the deal, apparently as part of one of WBD CEO David Zaslav’s dubious (and, quite possibly, illegal) money-saving schemes.
