Sausage Party

Sausage Party is a 2016 adult animated comedy film directed by Conrad Vernon and Greg Tiernan (in his feature length directorial debut), written by Kyle Hunter, Ariel Shaffir, Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg and based on a story by Rogen, Goldberg and Jonah Hill. A co-production between Canada and the United States, the film features the voices of Rogen, Kristen Wiig, 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 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 Columbia Pictures.

The film received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised its story and humor. It grossed $141 million against a budget of $19 million, surpassing South Park: Bigger, Longer, & Uncut (1999) as the highest-grossing R-rated animated film at that time until it was surpassed by Demon Slayer: Mugen Train in 2020.

In 2024, a sequel streaming series, Sausage Party: Foodtopia, was released on Amazon Prime Video.
