“I don’t consider animation a genre,” the film’s star and co-writer, Seth Rogen, told members of the press (via slashfilm) at San Diego Comic-Con. “I consider animation a medium. I think in some ways, Sausage Party is a movie that has the skin of a Pixar movie but ultimately is made for adults as opposed to children and is subversive at times, has very dirty humor I guess you would say. I don’t consider them the same thing. Sausage Party I would compare more to This Is The End in that it’s maybe two genres coming together. Where that was horror and comedy, this is maybe like Pixar and more R-rated humor. That’s pretty much it.”
Sausage Party, the first R-rated CG animated movie, is about one sausage leading a group of supermarket products on a quest to discover the truth about their existence and what really happens when they become chosen to leave the grocery store.
