But he soon discovers his destiny lies upon a different path. Here’s what co-director Evan Goldberg had to tell us about the movie as production was starting back in 2014.
“Sausage Party is an existential mock-Pixar movie, and we are very, very proud of it. It’s our opus. It’s like Mr. Holland’s Opus! It’s our take on a Pixar movie. It is very, very R rated. I wish there were fifty Pixar movies every year. But listen, someone should take those motherf*ckers down a notch. Those high and mighty bastards. We’re mocking all animated movies, with a special eye on Pixar. It is about a sausage in a supermarket. He goes on an epic journey to get back to his isle before the 4th of July, and reunite with his pack of sausage friends.”
Sausage Partyis hitting theaters on August 12. It will be going up against the biblical remakeBen-Huras well as Disney’s family adventure rebootPete’s Dragon. Universal will also launch the supernatural military thrillerSpectral, which is the studio’s answer toGhostbusters. And Paramount is releasing the biopic Florence Foster Jenkins starring Meryl Streep. It’s quite obviousSausage Partyis unique and not like anything else arriving this summer.
