The storyfilm follows a blue [[bloodhound]] who discovers that he is going to be neutered in the morning.

Following the successes of ''[[Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation]]'' (2018) and [[Samurai Jack season 5|the fifth and final season]] of ''[[Samurai Jack]]'' (2017), Tartakovsky was signed on to direct two original animated featuresfilms for SPA: ''Fixed'' and ''Black Knight''.

==Release==
''Fixed'' was originally scheduled to be released on an undetermined date by [[Warner Bros. Pictures]] under [[New Line Cinema]]. On September 13, 2023, New Line submitted ''Fixed'' to the [[Motion Picture Association]], who gave the film an R rating for "strong crude sexual content and language throughout, some drug use and violence".<ref name="FixedMPA">{{Cite web|date=2023-09-13 |title=Search|url=https://www.filmratings.com/search?filmTitle=Fixed |access-date=2023-09-13 |website=[[filmratings.com]] |language=en-US}}</ref> In a June 2024 interview with ''[[Animation Magazine]]'', Tartakovsky said that the release situation was being figured out.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Zahed |first1=Ramin |title=Genndy Tartakovsky Looks Back at the Magic of ‘Dexter’s'Dexter's Lab’Lab' and the Cartoon Boom of the ’90s'90s (EXCLUSIVE) |url=https://www.animationmagazine.net/2024/06/genndy-tartakovsky-looks-back-at-the-magic-of-dexters-lab-and-the-cartoon-boom-of-the-90s-exclusive/ |publisher=[[Animation Magazine]] |access-date=9 August 2024 |date=June 19, 2024}}</ref>
 
On August 9, 2024, it was announced that Warner Bros. and New Line had dropped distribution rights to save costs, and that [[Sony Pictures Animation]] was shopping the film around to other studios and streamers, a surprising announcement given Tartakovsky's history with [[Warner Bros. Discovery]]'s [[Cartoon Network]] and [[Adult Swim]]. [[Netflix]] was considered as one of the potential options where ''Fixed'' could end up given SPA's previous collaborations with the company, while ''[[Puck News]]'' suggested that if negotiations are unsuccessful, the film could be canceled and written off in a similar manner to other Warner Bros. films such as ''[[Batgirl (film)|Batgirl]]'', ''[[Scoob!
