Osmosis Jones (My Version)

Osmosis Jones is a 2001 American live-action/animated action comedy film written by Marc Hyman. Combining live-action sequences by the Farrelly brothers and animation by Piet Kroon and Tom Sito, the film stars the voices of Chris Rock, David Hyde Pierce, Laurence Fishburne, Brandy Norwood, William Shatner, and Ron Howard alongside Molly Shannon, Chris Elliott, Elena Franklin, and Bill Murray in live-action roles. It follows the title character, an anthropomorphic white blood cell, as he teams up with a cold pill to protect his unhealthy human host from a villainous, highly contagious virus called The Red Death.
The film premiered on August 7, 2001 and was released theatrically three days later by Warner Bros. Pictures in North America and internationally by 20th Century Fox through Buena Vista International with a co-production of Village Roadshow Pictures, Conundrum Entertainment and The Montecito Picture Company. It received mixed reviews from critics, who praised the world building, the animation, story, and voice performances, but criticized the inconsistent tone of the live-action portions and overuse of gross-out humor. The film was also a commercial failure and it grossed $14 million worldwide against a $70 million budget. Despite the poor financial response, in 2002 the film was followed by the animated television series Ozzy & Drix which aired on Kids' WB for two seasons and 26 episodes from 2002 to 2004.
