The 2016 R-rated animated film sausage party is notorious for two reasons: the reports about terrible working conditions in production, and the graphic, salacious humor. Longtime writing partners Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, in collaboration with Jonah Hill, dreamed up the story about sentient food items that come to life as customers and workers leave in the evenings. The food characters, including a pack of spicy sausages, the hot dog buns they love and a bottle of honey mustard voiced by Danny McBride, realize they are meant to be eaten and decide to fight back . Now the franchise is expanding into a new show called Sausage Party: Foodtopia, According to a report by Variety.
Rogen, Kristen Wiig, Michael Cera, Edward Norton and David Krumholtz are all returning to the series after voicing roles (or roles, as the case may be) in the film. New characters are voiced by actors such as Will Forte, Sam Richardson, Yasser Lester and Natasha Rothwell.
in the sausage party, the cast of characters uncover the truth of “The Great Beyond” outside of their home at the grocery store. They besiege the supermarket and rebel against the people who buy and sell them. Then they celebrate with a long, lovingly animated orgy. It’s certainly an odd film, and it remains to be seen how Foodtopia follows the food crew and their adventures.
It also remains to be seen whether Foodtopia may improve the film’s legendary bad reputation for its working conditions. Animators at Vancouver-based Nitrogen Studios reported that many of them were not credited for their work on the film or paid for mandatory overtime, and claimed that executives at Nitrogen threatened to tarnish the reputations of anyone who finished the film or refused overtime. sausage party grossed more than $140 million at the box office in 2016 from a reported production budget of $19 million.
