Here’s what co-directorEvan Goldberghad to tell us about the movie.
“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.”
