Samurai Jack creator Genndy Tartakovsky had to fight for his R-rated version of Lady and the Tramp
Briefly

Genndy Tartakovsky's R-rated animated film, "Fixed," is set to release on Netflix on August 13, 2023, after a long journey that began 15 years ago. Initially sold to Sony Pictures Animation, the film faced production challenges and was briefly shelved by Warner Bros. as part of a cost-reduction effort. Tartakovsky describes the film as an R-rated twist on 'Lady and the Tramp,' focusing on a mutt named Bull, voiced by Adam DeVine, who embarks on a final wild night before his neutering. He emphasizes the growing success of adult animation in streaming.
'If you look at streaming, Fox, or Adult Swim, adult animation is probably the most successful it’s ever been. But that hasn't translated over into theatrical.'
'He has kind of a false sense of security about his balls... if I was going to get that surgery, I’d be pretty freaked out about it.'
