'Sausage Party' – Finally an Animated Feature for Adults

Rating: 8/10 (19 August 2016)

As a parent, I see more than my fair share of animated features. To be honest, I love movies so I don't really mind. Still, 'Sausage Party' is a refreshing–and long overdue–change of pace. Finally there's an R-rated, full-length animated feature for adults. OK, maybe it's for adults with a somewhat juvenile sense of humor–but adults nonetheless.
I spoke with the directors--Greg Tiernan and Conrad Vernon--about the experience. As I suspected, the initial concept was pitched by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg. I imagined Rogen was high and started pondering how the food on the shelves feels, and then BOOM! Artistic genius. It was interesting to learn how much raunchier the movie COULD have been, and how they had to cut scenes to bring it down to rated R.
