Molecular biologists still praise the film for its surprisingly accurate representation of human cells and physiological systems.

The fight was brutal. Short. No slow-motion matrix dodges. Just biology. Osmosis tackled Thrax into the saliva ducts, and as Thrax dissolved, he screamed—not a villain scream, but a sound like tearing paper.

Osmosis Jones is a unique live-action/animated buddy-cop comedy released in 2001 that explores the inner workings of the human body through a stylized, urban lens. The film follows (voiced by Chris Rock), a rebellious white blood cell police officer, and his partner Drix (voiced by David Hyde Pierce), a by-the-book cold pill, as they attempt to stop a lethal virus named Thrax from destroying their "city"—the body of a slovenly zookeeper named Frank DeTorre.

Osmosis Jones served as the pilot for an animated television series titled Ozzy & Drix (also known as The Fantastic Voyage Adventures of Osmosis Jones & Drixenol), which aired on Kids' WB from September 14, 2002, to July 5, 2004. The series ran for two seasons, producing 26 episodes.

The summer of 2001 was dominated by animated heavyweights. Shrek had completely rewritten the rules of animated comedies a few months prior, and Disney’s Atlantis: The Lost Empire and Pixar's upcoming Monsters, Inc. created a highly crowded market.

The plot follows Frank Detomello (Bill Murray), a slobby, unhealthy zookeeper whose filthy habits have turned his body into a war zone. Frank eats a hard-boiled egg that fell on the ground and was covered in monkey saliva and germs. This act introduces a deadly virus called Thrax (voiced by Laurence Fishburne) into Frank’s system.
