Is the hot dog the essence of dead cows? And if a jar of peanut butter is ‘alive’, isn’t it made of dead peanuts? And the jam from slaughtered strawberries? You see the dilemma. More disturbing is the hot dog though since a hot dog is processed meat, something that already comes from actual living creatures. First, when does a hot dog even become sentient, let alone a jar of jam or peanut butter? (Which in the trailer includes the glass they are housed in). Their journey is to fulfill their role in the human world. What makes Toy Story special are two things: 1) the toys understand already what their role is and it wholly defines them, embracing it 2) they do not spend any time considering a higher purpose or questioning their existence. While bringing to life things that we know aren’t sentient, such as Pixar’s highly successfully and endearing Toy Story franchise, a very specific line must be walked in order for it to work. While the joke might feel slightly amusing at first simply because anthropomorphizing things is a common human trait, it raises a ton of questions that most certainly won’t be answered, but worse, after the concept is introduced, is devoid of humor.
#Sausage fest 2016 full#
Written by the people who brought us the genre defining Superbad, Sausage Party is about a cart full of food finally selected from their grocery store shelves, bought and brought home thinking nirvana is close by only to realize that not only will they be eaten but skinned and cooked alive in the process. What sounds like a 30-second sketch comedy routine is being pushed to a full on 90-minute animated film and with a name like Sausage Party, nuance has surely been peeled away. While talking food in movies or television might not necessarily be new ( Veggie Tales most likely leaps right to mind), Sausage Party is a whole different bowl of ingredients. Meat Loaf also lends his voice to the movie…playing frozen meatloaf (which is kind of genius).In a world where food is sentient, a hot dog learns the truth about his role in the circle of life and tries to understand his true destiny.
#Sausage fest 2016 movie#
The movie features Kristen Wiig, Bill Hader, Jonah Hill, Michael Cera, James Franco, Nick Kroll, Craig Robinson, Danny McBride, Paul Rudd, David Krumholtz, Edward Norton, and Salma Hayek. Since I’m not that into Seth Rogan, I generally don’t like his co-actors, but since the movie is animated, it gets a pass. Seth Rogan pulls all his friends into the movie. I don’t really love the meta-ending with the revelation that they are animated, but it sets up a possibility for Sausage Party 2. By making the characters food, the movie is able to explore it more because it becomes a parody instead of a racially and religiously intolerant comedy…plus, you got to give credit to a movie that ends in a giant food orgy. It plays a lot with modern society by looking not only at racist stereotypes (all the foods are “from” where they originate) and concepts of God…two taboos. Well, that’s something you don’t see every day…
I decided to give it a shot anyway…and I kind of liked it. His voice drives me crazy much like Ray Romano, and a lot of the movies he’s made I find extremely average. I like animated films, but I’m not a big fan of Seth Rogan. I didn’t have much hope for Sausage Party. The film was released to relatively positive reviews but also criticism that there was some mistreatment of the animators. Meanwhile, Frank’s mates in his packaging are finding out what occurs in the Great Beyond and Barry hopes to find the Shopwell and warn Frank.ĭirected by Conrad Vernon and Greg Tieman, Sausage Party is an animated R-Rated comedy. When they are selected by the gods to leave Shopwell, an accident leaves Brenda and Frank trapped in the store and trying to find a way to be selected again…until Frank learns that the Great Beyond might be a complete lie. Frank is a sausage who intends to get into Brenda’s bun when they reach the Great Beyond outside of the Shopwell. Don’t you hate it when your food rises up against you?įrank loves Brenda, and Brenda loves Frank.
