While other studios are doing everything they can to make their projects appeal to the widest possible audience, Sausage Party has its sights unabashedly set on a very specific audience demographic – one that likes its comedy as raunchy as possible, and doesn’t mind if it’s a bunch of cartoon groceries making the jokes.Īnd to its credit, Sausage Party serves that audience very, very well.Ĭo-directed by animated feature filmmakers Greg Tiernan ( Thomas & Friends) and Conrad Vernon ( Shrek 2), Sausage Party follows a free-thinking hot dog named Frank, voiced by Seth Rogen, who undertakes a dangerous quest after learning the horrible truth about the relationship between his fellow grocery products and the “gods” who spirit them away from the store. No matter how you feel about the concept behind Sausage Party, the “R”-rated animated comedy hitting theaters this week, you have to admire the audacity of the team responsible for the film.

To say that Sausage Party revels in its raunchiness is a wild understatement.
