LOGLINE: 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…?
From Genndy Tartakovsky (Director and Writer):
“Wow! What a journey! In 2010 I pitched to Sony Pictures Animation an idea of a mature themed animated movie based on my high school friends. I thought if I could caricature and enhance the personalities and relationships then the audience will find them as funny as I do. In my first pitch I focused the story and entertainment on characters rather than a high concept idea but still needed a stronger concept than the generic road trip story I was pitching. It is not often that a great idea appears effortlessly out of thin air, but that day, at that very moment, the animation Gods fired down a thunderbolt of an idea!
‘What if the main character, a dog, finds out he will get neutered in the morning?’
That was it! In my 30 years of pitching and selling never has an idea come to me so quickly and was received so fondly. An idea that in one sentence was so clear that most people smiled, or even laughed.
Originally, I was pitching Fixed as a CG movie since a 2D feature was ‘out of the question!!!’ Incredibly enough and to everyone’s surprise we actually sold it as a 2D, hand drawn, animated feature! Loving the art of hand drawn animation as much as I do, I was elated! Giddy really. We were all set to make an original 2D, rated R, fully animated movie, truly a unicorn.”
From Adam Devine (Voice of ‘Bull’):
“I was born to play a fat, hairy dog terrified of losing his balls. I am Bull, and Bull is me.
Genndy is a legend, and if anyone’s going to be in charge of my balls, I’m glad it’s him.”
