Watch the salty first trail­er for Sausage Party

15 Mar 2016

Words by Joel Philpott

Seth Rogen and co team up to voice this R‑rated CG ani­ma­tion. But will it cut the mustard?

Screen­writ­ing team Evan Gold­berg and Seth Rogen are back with their first ani­mat­ed film, in which the lat­ter voic­es a fan­cy hot­dog’ as he and the dog crew embark on a mis­sion to return to the super­mar­ket shelf after dis­cov­er­ing their fourth of July fate.

Joined by oth­er condi­ments and snacks, the trail­er depicts an all-out cook­ing fren­zy, as a cheer­ful Oirish spud has his skin mer­ci­less­ly peeled off and, in a Sav­ing Pri­vate Ryan Oma­ha Beach-style sequence, an Oreo cook­ie left with his white stuff­ing exposed. 

James Fran­co, Jon­ah Hill, Kristin Wiig, Paul Rudd, Michael Cera and Bill Had­er join Rogen for this fea­ture-length R‑rated com­put­er ani­ma­tion – the first of its kind – which looks to emu­late the films of Disney/​Pixar and Dream­Works (in style if not tone).

The Super­bad and Pineap­ple Express co-writ­ers boast a back cat­a­logue of enjoy­ably crass ston­er come­dies, and we’re ful­ly expect­ing more of the same from this processed food-based caper. Check out the trail­er above and let us know what you think @LWLies

Sausage Par­ty is released 12 August.
