Fixed is a 2025 adult animated comedy film produced by Sony Pictures Animation. It is directed by Genndy Tartakovsky and stars Adam DeVine, Kathryn Hahn, Fred Armisen, Beck Bennett, Bobby Moynihan, River Gallo, Michelle Buteau, and Idris Elba.

The film follows Bull (DeVine) a horny but good-natured dog who discovers his owners have him scheduled to be neutered. With one night to go before the surgery, his fellow canine pals take him for a night on the town to squeeze every last bit of fun from his balls before he loses them. The film premiered on June 11th, 2025, at Annecy and launched on Netflix August 13th that same year.

Previews: Red Band Trailer and official trailer

No relation to the EP of the same name by Nine Inch Nails.

Fixed includes examples of the following:

• 420, Blaze It: Bull comes across a vintage stoner car with a 420 license plate and mellow reggae coming from the speakers... and full to opacity with weed smoke inside. One roll-down of the window and he takes in all the weed smoke, along with bizarre visions to go with it.
• Acceptable Breaks from Reality: Honey manages to stay composed and sultry during her heat cycle despite another dog at the pound going crazy during hers, but it allows her and Bull to have a discussion about their hangups so they can put it all aside and finally mate.
• Animal Jingoism: Bull accidentally ends up wandering into an alley full of stray cats, who immediately react with hostility to his presence and try to maul him. They appear later at the animal shelter asking Fetch to free them as he did with the dogs, but he refuses and leaves them to their fate.
  Fetch: (mutters) Fucking cats.
  Cat: (bitterly) Fucking dogs.
• Animal Talk: It's revealed that while the animals are capable of talking to each other, they can only make animal noises to humans, though Lucky pulls off an almost-human greeting to a guard at the dog show.
• Animals Fear Neutering: Bull places a lot of his self-worth in his testicles, so the realization of his impending neutering hits him very hard, with his friends taking him out for one last night of fun before the procedure. Luther is also noticeably shaken up after his procedure. By the end of the movie, Sterling comes to the same realization and is just as horrified. Notably, the dogs who have been neutered for a while aren't quite so horrified by it, having grown used to having their testicles removed and seeing themselves not any different as the unneutered dogs. It probably doesn't hurt that they retain their sexual desire and ability to orgasm, as Lucky demonstrated rather quickly.
• Animals Lack Attributes: Zig-Zagged. Bull's balls are often on full display (as well as other unneutered males in the dogpile), and all the dogs are drawn with a visible anus, but female dogs notably lack any vaginas. The males' sheaths and penises are never shown either, besides a few brief shots of Bull's. The ending scene shows a bear's testicles on full display, too. They don't have visible nipples either, except for one gross female at the pound whose teats are visible and sagging.
• Animated Shock Comedy: The movie is primarily a Sex Comedy revolving around a horny dog and his testicles, but apart from the sex jokes, there's also lots of profane language, some Toilet Humor, a drug-fuelled Mushroom Samba, and a couple of very gory scenes where the dogs tear a squirrel apart and another dog gets run over by a car, guts and all showing.
• Artistic License – Biology: Bull is shown to have a Single-Target Sexuality towards Honey and isn't interested in mating with any other female dogs despite being a Lovable Sex Maniac, including the ones that are the same breed as her. Real Life dogs are usually polygamous and do not mate for life.
• Astonishingly Appropriate Appearance:
  • The high class and snooty Sterling's fur puffs up wide and around his neck, giving the impression of a refined and pompous fur coat.
  • The terrier Lucky has a fur pattern on his back that resembles a four-leaf clover.
• Atomic F-Bomb: Bull drops this after driving away his friends with his complaints about his impending neutering and his Interrupted Declaration of Love to Honey before she leaves for the dog show, cue Hypocritical Humor from a couple of observing crows.
• Babies Ever After: Honey and Bull manage to finally mate the night before the procedure and have puppies by the end of the movie.
• Bears Are Bad News: Subverted at the end of the movie. The grizzly bear is first introduced roaring viciously... before performing for a female audience at the hump house.
• Big Damn Heroes: Just as Bull is surrounded by vicious-looking cats, Rocco, Lucky, and Fetch appear to fight them off. However, this ends up being subverted because there is way more cats than they can handle, forcing the dogs to run for their lives.
• Big Eater: Bull has the time of his life basically catching all the "food rain", as he calls it, from the Chicago food festival: burgers, fries, sandwiches, hot dogs, and lots more food items. He even stands as a living garbage can to catch all the half-eaten food thrown away in one go.
• Big "WHY?!": Bull whines this when he realizes he's going to be neutered, prompting the main page's quote from two birds taking a bath.
• Bittersweet Ending: Bull is neutered, but he has more or less made his peace with the inevitability, especially after knowing it won't change him as a person (or dog). The night before the procedure, he sires a litter of pups with Honey.
• Black Comedy Rape: Bull comes between Honey and Sterling's mating at the last moment and chooses to take the bullet for her, but Sterling thinks he’s mating with Honey and has his eyes closed. Made more absurd that Bull and Honey talk to each other the whole time about their feelings, but Sterling never seems to hear them. When it’s over, Bull is visibly traumatized.
• Blind Mistake: As Bull humps Nana's leg, he accidentally knocks over her glasses. She then looks down and grabs what she thinks is her lipstick but is actually Bull's penis.
  Bull: (awkwardly) Yeah, that's my dick.
• Bloodier and Gorier: The movie is definitely more violent and graphic tone compared to all of Sony Pictures Animation movies, given the few instances of blood that show up in the trailer.
• British Teeth: Bull sports these when he puts on a fake British accent.
• Cannot Spit It Out: Bull and Honey have been pining for each other since they were puppies but can't bring themselves to let each other know. Until the end, that is.
• Cast of Snowflakes: Expect to see a lot of dogs with just as many unique designs. The only exceptions are those at the dog show, who are all physically clones of each other, but that's to reinforce the show's obsession with perfection and homogeneity.
• Chekhov's Skill: Fetch being raised like a human by his owner allows him to use the guard's keys to unlock everyone's cages in the pound, as he's the only one who knows how to use his front paws like hands.
• Childhood Friend Romance: Bull and Honey have known each other since they were pups and obviously have a thing for each other.
• City of Adventure: The skyline of Chicago, with its iconic skyscrapers like the Willis tower and the John Hancock Center, beckons to Bull when he escapes his home. Later his pack join him for a last night out on the town before his operation the next morning, and Honey's dog show is also located in the city proper. The suburban dog park is also named Wiggly Field (it really exists--it's located on Chicago's North Side), after of course the baseball stadium Wrigley Field.
• Cold Turkeys Are Everywhere: When Bull escapes the rats from gnawing on his testicles, he comes across a chef chopping two tomatoes, two meatballs being deep fried, and a pair of balloons getting run over by a truck.
• "Could Have Avoided This!" Plot: After Honey confesses her love for Bull and reassures him that he's still who he is with or without his balls, he replies that he wishes she’d told him earlier because they could have avoided the whole night.
• Does This Remind You of Anything?: Played for Laughs of course, but neutering is seen (especially by dogs that haven't had it yet like Bull) as something like a death sentence and execution... but somehow also comes off like a wedding, with his last night out on the town with his balls and buddies basically a dog bachelor party (complete with a trip to what's effectively a dog brothel).
• Dogs Hate Squirrels: The first thing Bull and his friends do off leash is to chase a squirrel through the city then bloodily rip it in half before devouring it. Lampshaded when Fetch questions why dogs chase squirrels.
  Bull: Because we hate those disease-ridden furry little tree rodents!
• Double-Meaning Title: In Spain, the film was released under the title Despelote, a word that refers to a wild, chaotic situation, potentially with clothes coming off — like the bender Bull and company go out on — but also has a more literal translation as 'de-balling', directly alluding to Bull's upcoming neutering.
• Double Standard: Rape, Female on Male: Molasses isn't taken to task for tricking Bull into shoving his dick into her, and it's treated as more of a Moment of Weakness on Bull's part.
• Double Standard: Rape, Male on Male: An interesting example in that Bull elects to be sodomized by an oblivious Sterling to spare Honey from being bred by him. Bull is completely traumatized and limping, but technically, Sterling's the one being raped by deception.
• Entitled Bastard: When the dogs escape from the pound in The Climax, the same group of cats who tried to kill Bull and his friends earlier have the nerve to ask to be let out as well. Predictably, they refuse.
• Everybody Has Lots of Sex: Dogs don’t have the same inhibitions as humans, and they’re shown to be willing to have sex anywhere and anytime.
• Face Death with Dignity: He's not going off to die, but Bull finally marching up into his family's car for the fateful operation is played very much like this. He sadly reminisces about all the good times he's had with his balls, finally bidding them a painful Train-Station Goodbye.
• The Faceless: Typical for an animal-focused cartoon, the humans are only shown from the neck down, with some exceptions in passing.
• Failed a Spot Check: Sterling fails to realize he's mounted Bull and not Honey during The Climax, even when he's deep inside him and while Bull and Honey talk to each other about their feelings during the entire thing.
• Faux Horrific: During their night out, Bull and his friends come across a purse dog begging for help, much to their horror.
  Bull: (enraged) They've gone too far.
• Good-Times Montage: Parodied when Bull is being taken to the vet and he reminisces about the good times he's had with his balls, which are personified as they are during his hallucination earlier.
• Groin Attack: When Bull is hallucinating while high, three rats end up biting on his testicles. Plus, of course, how he sees neutering, at least initially.
• The Guards Must Be Crazy:
  • The entrance guards at the dog show allows Bull and his friends obviously disguised in a Totem Pole Trench to pass through without any suspicion.
    Bull: Wow, that guy is really bad at his job.
  • The guards at the pound are easily dispatched by Urine Trouble.
• Heel Realization: Honey has one at the dog show after being complimented as being “so, so special” and getting chewed out by the competitors.
• Here We Go Again!: Payback bites the douchey Sterling hard as he learns that he's about to be neutered after strutting around being proud of his lineage and the fact he's a high-demand breeding Borzoi stud, and it turns out Honey and her own pack of gal pals go out for their own night on the town... much in the same fashion as Bull and his buddies did, and party at the same "hump house", no less!
• Hotter and Sexier: Compared to Sony Pictures Animation's usual family-friendly animated repertoire, Fixed is a full-on raunchy Sex Comedy, with the trailer showing Bull at his horniest and the dogs visiting what looks to be the canine equivalent of a strip club.
• Hypocritical Humor: As Bull laments his impending neutering, an observing crow talks about how gross dogs are, like licking their balls, digging, etc., before happily agreeing to go eat garbage with another crow.
• I Call Him "Mister Happy": Bull names his testicles Old Spice and Napoleon.
• Identical Stranger: The show dogs have been bred to look as identical as possible, so all the breeds share a character design. All of the other brown borzoi at the dog show shares the exact same design as Honey. Rocco is also mistaken for a show boxer and is brought onto the stage, overwhelming him and causing a scene. Molasses also looks identical to Honey minus a more auburn coat color and tempts Bull towards her, leading to his and Honey's brief falling out.
• The Immodest Orgasm: Some of the dogs were inevitably going to do this in a Sex Comedy:
  • Audible moans from several literal bitches, including the one doing it "human-style" ^note AKA, missionary position with another dog at the park, and the small dog at the hump house rubbing herself off on a shoe.
  • Boy, can Frankie the intersex Doberman howl like a wolf when coming.
  • Played for Laughs with Bull himself, who goes "Yeah! Yeah!" but in his funny nasal voice when humping Nana's leg. Averted at the end of the climax where we don't hear either him or Honey when they finally mate, since it's treated as gentle but also a serious dramatic scene, even set to mood music.
  • When Sterling has sex with Bull, thinking he's Honey, he starts moaning his own name.
• Informed Flaw: Played for Laughs and for drama. The other brown borzois at the dog show are envious of Honey's appearance, picking at supposed minor differences, with one even thinking she's fatter than her — despite all of them looking completely identical to her. The only one who realizes the absurdity of this is Honey, who gets increasingly horrified at it until she has the revelation: "How did I not see this? Different is good. I don't want to be like everyone else."
• Insecure Love Interest: Bull and Honey both fit the trope. Bull feels unworthy of being with Honey as he's a mutt while she's a purebred show dog, with Honey feeling the reverse, that while Bull is special, she's the same as the other show dogs.
• Interrupted Intimacy:
  • Honey herself claims to do this trope to her owners.
    Honey: Humans are just as obsessed with sex as we are. When my humans do it, I climb on the bed and stare them right in the eye. Totally ruins it for them. It's hilarious.
  • Subverted at The Climax when Bull interferes with Honey and Sterling's mating to give an Anguished Declaration of Love to the former... while being raped by an oblivious Sterling in her place.
• Kavorka Man: Bull is a rather dopey looking mutt, but the show dog Honey is rather smitten with him, describing his features ecstatically to Sterling (including the fact that "looks like a sack of potatoes"). The humble looking Lucky also has a subplot where he becomes involved with the buff and confident Doberman, Frankie.
• Last Day to Live: Played With; while Bull himself is obviously not going to die, his friends do want him to have as much fun as possible before he says goodbye to his nuts forever.
• Lawyer-Friendly Cameo: Two dogs resembling the leads from Lady and the Tramp have a sex scene during the first act in the dog park. One of the dogs entering the "hump house" also looks like Peg, from the same movie.
• Major Injury Underreaction: The white purse dog gets run over while accompanying Bull's pack on their night out, and her only response is to complain that this is what she gets for getting freed.
• Massive Numbered Siblings: Rocco reveals that he was born into a litter of fifteen, and at the epilogue, Bull and Honey have a litter of thirteen pups of their own.
• Mature Animal Story: It's the story of a dog enjoying a wild night out in the city before he has to go get neutered. There are very prominent sexual themes, foul language aplenty, and the occasional bit of gore.
• A Minor Kidroduction: The film opens on the father seeing Bull in a pet store window and then introducing him to the family as a puppy before skipping forward two years later to see him humping Nana’s leg.
• Mushroom Samba: While in the city after running away from home, Bull inhales a cloud of cannabis smoke and has a series of bizarre hallucinations.
• Official Couple: Lucky the terrier hooks up with Frankie, the soulful intersex Doberman from the "hump house", while Bull and Honey officially get together by the end of the film, mating the night before Bull is neutered and have a sizable litter together.
• Oh, Crap!:
  • Bull is horrified as it dawns on him that he's going to be neutered, given how his owners have been throwing him an indulgent party exactly like the one Luther had before his neutering.
    Bull: Fuck me.
  • Sterling also has this reaction when his owners tell him that they filled the W.C with Kool-Aid, and vainly tries to escape his indulgent party, knowing full-well he will be neutered after.
• Overly Long Gag: Bull trying to reach climax by humping Nana's leg goes on for an uncomfortably long time before she finally kicks him off.
• Patchwork Kids: Some of Bull and Honey's puppies at the end of the movie look like a mix of them. Some are gray, like Bull, but with Borzoi features, like Honey, while others are brown, like Honey, with mixed breed features, like Bull. Other puppies look exactly like Bull and Honey, though.
• A Pet into the Wild: Bull resorts to running away from home after learning that he's going to be neutered. He returns after The Climax when he learns how much his owners still care about him.
• Plot-Mandated Friendship Failure: Happens to Bull, twice.
  • First, at the end of the first act, when Bull's complaints about his impending neutering make his friends angry, thinking that he considers neutered dogs to be inferior. They soon come around, though, and immediately go looking for him, assuring him they understand where he's coming from, having previously been through it themselves.
  • Before The Climax of the film, when Honey walks in on Bull with his penis inside Molasses, assuming the two are mating and not realizing that Molasses tricked him into it. The pair make up when Bull takes Honey's place when Sterling is about to breed with her and finally admits how he feels about her.
    Bull: (surprised) Honey?! This is not that!
    Honey: (angry) What do you call it?!
    Bull: I don't know what to call it, but it isn't sex.
• Potty Emergency: As all the dogs are taken out for their walks, they are clearly desperate to relieve themselves.
• Puppy-Dog Eyes: After learning he’s being neutered the next day, Bull does this to guilt trip The Patriarch of his human family, who clearly feels bad about the whole thing.
• Rich Suitor, Poor Suitor: Honey's two possible mates are the middle-class mutt Bull and the fellow uppity show dog Sterling. While Sterling and his and Honey's owners believe that they successfully mated, she ends up having puppies with Bull.
• Royal Inbreeding: Played With. Honey compares pure bred dogs like herself and Sterling to a royal lineage, and Bull points out to Sterling that purebreds are produced via inbreeding.
• Ruder and Cruder: This movie definitely has more profane language compared to other Sony Pictures Animation movies as well as other Genndy Tartakovsky projects, which the trailer shows quite a bit of.
• Sex Comedy: The movie is about a dog spending one last night with his testicles before he's neutered to stop him from humping everything. It kind of has to be this.
• Sexual Karma:
  • Bull is introduced as a Lovable Sex Maniac humping the family's scatterbrained grandmother and ends up causing trouble around the house. The Climax has him be anally raped by an oblivious Sterling while giving an Anguished Declaration of Love to Honey.
  • Sterling is set up to be Honey’s breeding partner but he’s an absolute douche to her and everyone else he meets. Honey prefers her childhood friend Bull, who truly loves her and treats her with respect. In the end, Honey has sex with Bull and produces a litter of puppies with him, while Sterling is set to be neutered after being unknowingly Bed Tricked by Bull.
• Shout-Out: The finale song, Bill Withers' "Lovely Day", is the exact same one played at the ending of The Secret Life of Pets.
  • A dog couple that starts mating in the park resemble Lady and the Tramp.
• Smelly Skunk: Lucky mistakes a skunk for a squirrel and gets sprayed right in the eyes. He actually enjoys it.
• Sore Loser: One of the borzois who loses to Honey in the dog show spitefully tells her that she hopes that she chokes on her blue ribbon.
• Speed Sex:
  • After coming out as pansexual, it takes a few licks from Frankie to give Lucky a funny Immodest Orgasm.
    Frankie: (amused) Okay, that was quick.
  • At The Climax, Sterling obliviously mates with Bull long enough for him to give an Anguished Declaration of Love to Honey, ending in a similar orgasm without even knotting.
• Take That!: The movie is not shy about skewering the concept of dog shows and the human obsession with pure bred dogs. Bull speaks derisively near the start of the movie about how the dogs there are basically entered just to get groped and judged by humans, and how pure-bred dogs are a result of generations of inbreeding. Additionally, Honey's owners are willing to force her to mate with Sterling just to produce puppies they can sell for adoption at a high price.
  Bull: (to Sterling) Do you ever think about just how many cousins and siblings had to fuck each other to produce a douchebag like you?
  Sterling: (Aside Glance Death Glare as Bull's friends laugh at him)
• Taking the Bullet: In a sense with Bull basically taking the sperm bullet, or the dick—for Honey by getting in between her and Sterling to prevent the latter getting her pregnant. Even at the cost of both male dogs technically sort of raping each other with Bull visibly hobbling in pain and traumatized afterwards and an unaware Sterling getting inadvertently Bed Tricked.
• Train-Station Goodbye: Bull imagines himself bidding his personified testicles farewell as the anesthesia pulls him under.
• Tiny Guy, Huge Girl: Honey the borzoi is twice Bull's size. She's so tall that she has to put her paws on a railing for him to be able to mount her easily. Lucky, a Jack Russell terrier, also gets involved with a feminine-looking and muscular Doberman named Frankie who towers over him.
• Toilet-Drinking Dog Gag: According to Luther, the party his owners threw for him before he was neutered included being allowed to drink not just from the toilet, but Kool-Aid from it. Bull realizes he's going to be neutered when he's also allowed to drink Kool-Aid from the toilet.
• Toilet Humor: The movie makes a lot of jokes about how man's best friend can be really gross sometimes:
  • Lucky is prone to eating shit off the floor at inopportune times.
  • One dog in the dog park has the unenviable experience of getting pooped on his head.
  • The dogs escape the pound by having the males piss on the guards in the style of the Fountains of Bellagio.
• Totem Pole Trench: Bull and his buddies do this to sneak into a dog show so that Bull could have his opportunity to see Honey and tell her he loves her.
• Visual Pun: At the end, Honey and other literal bitches go to the Hump House to watch a bear "strip" (well, he's already naked except for natural fur, but he dances suggestively on stage and waves his own balls around). In other words, per a 2020s meme and phrase, women literally chose the bear.
• Vomit Discretion Shot: Happens to Lucky after having an intoxicated feeling from being sprayed by a skunk. Downplayed, though, since a Freeze-Frame Bonus shows that it's not completely obscured.
• Weight Woe: One of the Borzoi at the dog show expresses regret at eating breakfast that day, calling herself a pig.
