Making a movie about dogs receiving genital surgery is not widely appealing. It can have all the good writing and animation in the world, but it's held back by its premise, like if someone made a movie called "The Boogershits" about a family made of boogers and shit. I haven't seen the movie yet, and I'll probably enjoy it at least a little when I do, but normal people are not going to want to give it a chance.
>inb4 gross out humor in the 90s-00s
Successful animation didn't lead with that. The major shows that employed it had disgusting moments but not an inherently disgusting premise. It's what separates Ren and Stimpy or Cow and Chicken from flops like Secret Mountain Fort Awesome.
