Sausage Party 2016

In the bustling metropolis of Shopwell’s, where anthropomorphic groceries go about their daily lives, human shoppers are revered as deities who ferry their chosen goods to the mystical realm known as the “Great Beyond”. Amongst the wares is Frank, a sausage with a passion for life and a burning desire to reunite with his bun-tiful girlfriend Brenda (Kristen Wiig) in the afterlife. Theirs is a love destined to be consummated amidst the eternal bliss of the Great Beyond.

Meanwhile, a jar of Honey Mustard (Danny McBride), replete with skepticism, claims that this divine realm is naught but a myth, imploring Frank to seek out the wisdom of Firewater, an aged Native American bottle of liquor (Bill Hader). This counsel comes at a tumultuous time, as a chance shopping cart collision sets off a chain reaction, causing several groceries, including Frank, to tumble from their packaging and rendering escape into the Great Beyond impossible.

Kareem Abdul Lavash (David Krumholtz), a bagel of noble character, is incensed by Frank’s misadventure, while Douche (Nick Kroll), an evil feminine hygiene product, vows vengeance against the wayward sausage. As the chaos unfolds, Sammy Bagel Jr. (Edward Norton) stands firm in his commitment to nonviolence.

As Frank and Brenda set out to find Firewater, their journey takes a turn when Brenda crosses paths with Teresa Del Taco (Salma Hayek), a lesbian taco shell whose amiable nature and shared experiences forge an unbreakable bond between her and the bun-loving Brenda. Unfortunately, this newfound friendship is short-lived, as Douche attacks Brenda, forcing her to rely on Teresa’s quick thinking and cunning to escape.

Firewater reveals to Frank that the true extent of the gods’ brutality lies beyond the ice in the foreboding “dark alley”. When Frank finally reunites with Brenda, he implores her to join him in uncovering the truth about the Great Beyond, but she remains skeptical, urging a return to their packaging and a wait for the next benevolent shopper to arrive. Undeterred, Frank presses on, driven by his unwavering conviction.

As Frank ventures deeper into the store, he stumbles upon a cookbook hidden behind the seafood aisle, its graphic illustrations revealing the brutal realities of human consumption.

As Frank’s revelation about Firewater’s noble deception spreads among Shopwell’s grocery store inhabitants, a sense of unease settles over the once-peaceful aisles. Meanwhile, Barry (Michael Cera), a plucky sausage, finds himself at the center of a surreal turn of events when he befriends a human who has ingested bath salts. This unexpected connection grants Barry and his fellow groceries the ability to interact with their human counterparts in ways previously unimaginable.

As word of the cookbook’s existence spreads, panic sets in among the foodstuffs, prompting them to reevaluate their purpose in life. However, before they can fully grasp the implications, a gruesome accident involving a decapitation rocks the store, leaving the groceries in a state of shock and disbelief. It is at this juncture that Barry arrives on the scene, bearing a grisly gift: the severed head of his human companion.

In the aftermath of the chaos, the foods turn their attention to communicating with their human shoppers, but their efforts are met with catastrophic consequences as a store-wide battle erupts. Once the last of the humans has fallen, the groceries indulge in a raucous celebration, marked by a orgiastic release of pent-up energy.

As the dust settles, Firewater and Gum (Scott Underwood), a wise and enigmatic wad of chewing gum, reveal to the foods that their existence is an illusion – mere cartoon characters brought to life by human animators and voiced by celebrities in another dimension. The revelation sparks a mix of emotions among the groceries, prompting them to seek out their creators through a portal crafted by Gum. With this newfound understanding, the foods embark on a journey to meet the individuals responsible for their existence, driven by a burning desire to understand their place in the grand scheme of things.
