Hello there, animation lovers! Here’s a newsworthy scoop for you.
Warner Bros. Says Goodbye to ‘Fixed’
Our friends at Warner Bros., a big deal in the movie industry, have let go of an ambitious project. This time, it’s ‘Fixed’, an animated movie by the award-winning animator, Genndy Tartakovsky. Weird, huh? It seems to be a move to save some cash. Warner Bros. oftentimes halt projects that we are all geared up for. Do you recall Batgirl and Coyote vs. Acme? Same story, different day.
Unpacking Genndy Tartakovsky and his Work
If you are scratching your head, wondering who Genndy Tartakovsky is, let me clue you in. We all have a soft spot for our favourite cartoons, right? Odds are, you’ve watched and loved his creations. Remember ‘Dexter’s Laboratory’, ‘Samurai Jack’, ‘Star Wars: Clone Wars’, and ‘Primal’? Yep, all his masterpieces. Plus, he was a key contributor to the globally renowned ‘Hotel Transylvania’ film series. So, that’s Tartakovsky— a maestro of animation.
‘Fixed’ Finds Refuge with Sony
After the Warner Bros. goodbye, ‘Fixed’ is going back to Sony Pictures Animation. They are now searching for a new distributor. Curious about ‘Fixed’? It’s a gripping tale of a bloodhound named Bull. Bull decides to embark on a mind-blowing adventure when he realises he’s about to be neutered. Adam Devine, renowned for his extraordinary talents, voices Bull. The rest of this all-star cast is just as exciting. It features big names like Idris Elba, Kathryn Hahn, Bobby Moynihan, and more. Sounds neat, right?
Cartoon Network Website Shut Down
Warner Bros. has also waved goodbye to Cartoon Network’s official website. If you try to visit, you’ll find yourself directed to an entirely different page. This page belongs to their subscription streaming service, HBO Max. You’ll see a message beckoning you to subscribe to enjoy more Cartoon Network delights.
According to a Cartoon Network spokesperson, they now lean towards platforms where their audience is more active. That sounds reasonable, right?
Final Thoughts
So, there it is. Warner Bros. has axed ‘Fixed’ and shifted focus towards streaming services. What are your thoughts? Are you bummed about Warner Bros. ditching ‘Fixed’? Or still in shock about Cartoon Network’s website closure? Let me know what you think. And for ‘Fixed’ fans, keep your fingers crossed. A new home might be found soon!
