The universe is healing as other distributors pick up animated features abandoned by the inept management of Warner Bros. Discovery. A couple weeks ago, Coyote vs. Acme<\/em> was rescued by Ketchup Entertainment<\/a>, and this morning, Netflix has announced the acquisition of Genndy Tartakovsky\u2019s raunchy adult comedy film Fixed.<\/em><\/p>\n

The film was a co-production between WBD\u2019s New Line Cinema and Sony Pictures, and was intended for theatrical release. But WB backed out of the project<\/a> after it was completed, and Sony started shopping it around again. Why Sony, which had previously released the adult hit Sausage Party,<\/em> didn\u2019t take a chance itself on releasing Fixed<\/em> is a big question mark, but frankly, few American studios understand animation beyond the very narrow prism of safe family entertainment. <\/p>\n

There\u2019s nothing safe about Fixed<\/em> and big credit to Netflix for saving the day here. They\u2019re releasing an amazingly rare entry in U.S. feature animation: a funny and cartoony 2d comedy film with hand-drawn animation by A-list animators directed by an iconic figure in contemporary animation. It would be quite ironic if the hand-drawn Fixed<\/em> is the dark-horse contender that finally gets Tartakovsky recognition at the Oscars after none of the three high-profile and commercially successful Hotel Transylvania<\/em> films he directed were nominated for an Academy Award. (Sidenote here, but with Sylvain Chomet\u2019s Marcel et Monsieur Pagnol<\/em> set to premiere next month at Cannes, this is turning out to be a bountiful year of hand-drawn animated films with a cartoon bent\u00a0\u2014 and yes, two cartoon films in a single year being considered bountiful is a sad commentary on the state of 2d animation with a caricatured sensibility.) <\/p>\n
