Deviant Pixar

Rating: 8/10 (22 November 2016)

When I saw the trailer for this movie, I thought, this looks so twisted I'm not sure if I want to watch it. But by the end, I thought, this looks so twisted I'm going to have to watch it.
The movie is styled after typical animated kid's movies like Toy Story, with anthropomorphized foodstuffs in a grocery store chatting and singing. Their song describes the joy of the moment when the "gods" will take them to the "great beyond," and the movie is mainly concerned with the horrific truth that the great beyond is where food goes to be sliced, boiled, and eaten.
Deaths are both clever and horrific, as when a jar of jelly lies on the floor, its life-jelly oozing out, while a jar of peanut butter weeps. I mean, the people who made this movie are really sick.
There's also a lot of jokes about sex. It's possible that sex jokes make up 50% of this film.
Surprisingly, even though the movie is full of sick humor and cheap sex jokes, this is a surprisingly smart movie. The story is well designed, the characters are relatable, and the movie has interesting takes on religious belief and approaches Mid-East tensions . It's well animated and voiced and often really, really funny. This really is the movie Pixar would make if they decided to make a really tasteless movie about sex between hot dogs and buns. Seriously.
I would expect a lot of people to hate this movie. It's basically a movie of foul-mouthed food telling sex jokes and dying horribly. But for a certain sort of twisted individual, this movie is a blast.
