Overview

  • Netflix released the R-rated, hand-drawn feature on August 13, 2025, following screenings at Annecy and Montreal’s Fantasia Festival.
  • Critics praised Tartakovsky’s dynamic animation and the voice performances but faulted the film’s repetitive risqué humor.
  • Originally set for a Warner Bros./New Line theatrical run, the movie was shelved during 2024 cost-cutting before rights reverted to Sony Pictures Animation.
  • Netflix’s acquisition highlights the platform’s willingness to back unique adult animation projects deemed too risky for theaters.
  • Neither Netflix nor Sony Pictures Animation has confirmed plans for a sequel, leaving future franchise prospects dependent on audience and critical metrics.
