Overview

  • Fixed began streaming globally on Netflix on August 13 after Sony Pictures Animation reclaimed rights following Warner Bros.’ decision to shelve the project.
  • Reviewers unanimously commend the film’s hand-drawn, Tex Avery–inspired 2D animation as an exceptional achievement for its modest budget.
  • Critics remain sharply divided over the R-rated comedy’s explicit sexual and gross-out humor, with many deeming it repetitive and juvenile.
  • India’s Central Board of Film Certification and other regional bodies have flagged potential bans or cuts due to the film’s graphic content.
  • Despite festival buzz and a high-profile voice cast, neither Netflix nor Sony has confirmed plans for a sequel.
