Sausage Party is an upcoming 2016 American 3D computer animated adventure comedy film directed by Greg Tiernan and Conrad Vernon, and written by Evan Goldberg, Kyle Hunter, Seth Rogen and Ariel Shaffir. It stars Rogen, Kristen Wiig, Jonah Hill, Michael Cera, James Franco, David Krumholtz, Nick Kroll and Edward Norton. The film will have its world premiere at the South by Southwest Film Festival on March 14, 2016. It is a spoof of Disney and Pixar films.
The film tells the story of one sausage setting out on a quest to discover the truth about his existence. After falling out of a shopping cart, our hero sausage and his new friends embark on a perilous journey through the supermarket to get back to their aisles before the Fourth of July sale.

How come I never heard of this movie before Great animation!
TWIN PEAKS is "something of a miracle."
"...like nothing else on television."
"a phenomenon."
"A tangled tale of sex, violence, power, junk food..."
"Like Nothing On Earth"
Rogen screened an early hand-drawn animatic version of the film to his friend Sacha Baron Cohen:
“Sausage Party appalled him [Sacha Baron Cohen] in some ways. We brought him to a screening where we watched the hand drawn version of the movie and he could not believe it — ‘that is the single craziest fucking thing I’ve seen in my whole life’ He said, ‘Just know you’ve gotten successful enough to make the craziest thing I’ve ever seen in my life.'”
Rogen credits producer/financier Megan Ellison for making the movie possible.
There’s violence, it gets very sexual… there is a food orgy in the movie — one of the most filthy things I’ve ever seen in my life.
“We even explore inter-food sex in the movie, we explore all of that,” laughs Rogen.
However, this was a public screening projected in front of a theater filled to max capacity with 1,200 people – the filmmakers wanted a reaction and they got one. Even in its unfinished state, the SXSW audience was mostly won over by the film, if the amount of laughing, cheering and even gasping is to be believed. It’s going to be interesting to watch how normal audiences respond to this film, as this is, no kidding, one of the crudest and most deranged movies ever made. It looks like a typical CG-animated film, but it’s actually a vessel for nuclear-grade nonsense. This isn’t the first time filmmakers have seemingly tried to adapt the stupid conversations stoned people have, but it is the first time it’s been done this successfully.
As you may have seen in the trailer that was released following last night’s screening, Sausage Party is a riff on the “inanimate objects come to life and have an adventure” movie. But our heroes aren’t toys, they’re food, and they eagerly await the day when the “gods” will choose them and take them to the great beyond, as they call the world outside of the grocery store.

While Sausage Party is chock-full of profane language and surprisingly brutal depictions of violence against food, it’s the religious element that somehow feels the most shocking. Here is a film starring a talking hot dog that is actually about how organized religion pulls the wool over the eyes of the masses. Between this and their upcoming television adaptation of Preacher (which had its world premiere earlier the same day at SXSW), Rogen and Goldberg have seemingly become the go-to guys for using dick jokes to poke holes in the very concept of belief. It’s rare to see any major American film go out of its way to tear down religious institutions and Sausage Party wants to burn it all to the ground. Prepare for think pieces.
Heck, Sausage Party wants to burn everything to the ground and the results can be mixed. The film traffics in stereotypes and while some some are clever or just offensive enough to extract giggles out of you by force, others fall flat and feel a little tired (looking at you, Mexican food aisle sequence). But there are hundreds of jokes in this film – when one joke falls flat, two more quickly rise to take its place. I’d say that the successful joke percentage is about 50%, but the jokes that work are often nothing short of incredible. The film could be more disciplined, but that would mean sacrificing the film’s anarchic, take-no-prisoners, constructed-by-maniacs style. You suffer through the dead air and the rough jokes to get to the good stuff and the good stuff is fantastic. And that dead air could be easily tightened up and the rough jokes fine-tuned before the film’s August release.
Sausage Party is offensive and filthy and easily one of the dirtiest movies ever made. It final twenty minutes, which were mostly unfinished in this screening, may very well be the stuff of legend. In the Q&A that followed the screening, Rogen, Goldberg, and directors Greg Tiernan and Conrad Vernon seemed shocked that the MPAA had already let them get away with an R-rating. It turns out that anthropomorphized food can do stuff in an R-rated movie that human beings cannot.
Shock and profane language doesn't carry me for a whole film though... and knowing these guys it's probably the only thing that it has. It becomes just very mediocre when you offer the same thing over and over.
Eh.
They saw a web comic with the same idea and decided to make a movie out of it.
Animation looks typical Sony animation as in really cheap. Just cause it's 3D animation doesn't mean it competes with Pixar. Dreamworks if anything.
Smoking weed part - stupid
The cupcake thing st the end that swears in a cute adorable voice - that's comedy these days
Meh. Will watch it but in expecting their house party part 2 movie.
