What happens

Sausage Party is a 2016 adult animated black comedy film directed by Conrad Vernon and Greg Tiernan (in his feature length directorial debut), and written by Kyle Hunter, Ariel Shaffir, Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg. A co-production between Canada and the United States, the film features the voices of Rogen, Kristen Wiig, Jonah Hill, Bill Hader, Michael Cera, James Franco, Danny McBride, Craig Robinson, Paul Rudd, Nick Kroll, David Krumholtz, Edward Norton and Salma Hayek. The film follows an anthropomorphic sausage (Rogen) who lives in a supermarket and goes on a journey with his friends to escape their fate as groceries eaten by humans. The film's animation was handled by the Vancouver-based Nitrogen Studios. It is the first computer-animated film in both United States and Canada to be rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America. The film's rough cut premiered on March 14, 2016, at South by Southwest, followed by its general theatrical release in the United States on August 12, 2016, by Sony Pictures Releasing through its Columbia Pictures label. Sausage Party received generally positive reviews from critics and grossed $141 million against a budget of $19 million, surpassing South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut (1999) as the highest-grossing R-rated animated film at the time of its release. A sequel television series, Sausage Party: Foodtopia, was released in 2024. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
