It's Pixar for Adults

Rating: 8/10 (11 August 2016)

Sausage Party is a CGI-animated film that centers on a Sausage named Frank who discovers the awful truth of what happens to food when they are taken home from the supermarket.
First of all, I will start off by saying that this film was extremely smart to heavily market this film as an R-rated cartoon. The commercials are broadcasting late at night or on predominately adult-oriented channels, the MPAA rating is expressed throughout, and just in case any of that happens to go over the heads of any inexplicably clueless parents, the commercials end with a giant "RATED R" label written across a black screen, as to say "for the thousandth time, It is rated R! Get it through your thick skulls!" which - I promise you - will not be enough to stop ignorant or neglectful parents from taking their naive, impressionable young ones. But, as my father always told me "Those who don't listen, will feel".. Which brings me to my next point; This film is off-the-wall, no-holds barred, profanity-laced, comedy gold! If you seen any previous Rogen/Goldberg films and you say to yourself "I kind of know what I'm going into" trust me; you'll be pleasantly surprised. Everything from the hilariously cheesy food-related puns to the brilliant depiction of food deaths, you'll wonder why a movie like this hasn't been made several times before. My favorite aspect of the film in particular is how every produce in the store belongs to a specific group of cultures and religions - just their human counterparts, such as Native Americans depicted as Firewater, Hispanics as Tacos, Tequila, etc., Homosexuals as Fruits...
It is really just one very long "Ha Ha, I see what you did there" kind of thing and it works! What makes "Sausage Party" such a amazing gem is that it can so easily be confused for an innocent Disney-Esq film. The beautiful cinematography, the colorful characters, the opening musical, the moral lessons - everything that you can find in a kid-friendly cartoon, "Sausage Party" is bringing to the party (no pun attended) as well. There's enough spirit and wonders in this film to convince impressionable children to stop eating - I'm not even joking. So if you like your comedies offensive, daring, risqué, smart, while still attempting to endure the magical world of PIXAR that you would feel if you were to watch "Toy Story" or "Finding Nemo", then "Sausage Party" is definitely not a party you want to miss.
