Osmosis Jones (partially found PG-13 cut of animated comedy film; 2001)
Osmosis Jones is a live-action/animated film, released in 2001, directed by the Farrelly Brothers. It stars Chris Rock as Osmosis Jones, a clumsy white blood cell, and David Hyde Pierce as Drix, a determined duty-serving cold pill, who is Osmosis Jones's partner and best friend. The two together have to defeat Thrax, voiced by Laurence Fishburne, a virus who is set to kill Frank, played by Bill Murray, the man whose body they are in. It was a box-office bomb and was met with mixed reviews.[1]
History
Osmosis Jones suffered through development hell, switching directors from Tom Sito and Piet Kroon to Peter and Bob Farrelly. The film was originally rated PG-13. However, Warner Bros. wanted the film to be more family-friendly oriented, so it was cut down to meet PG standards.[2][3]
