Sausage Party was a Weird Film...

Remember Sausage Party? I sure try not to! But after a recent conversation with friends about how much they actually enjoyed this, I decided that perhaps it was time to give it a 2nd watch after all those years. Have I found it to have aged like a fine wine? Or rather a tall glass of milk left out in the sun...

Side note here, This movie is really infamous in Vancouver animation industry due to how Nitrogen Studios, (Later acquired by Cinesite), mistreat their animators (I'm can't 100% say for other department but I'm pretty pretty sure they're all have similar problem). They later got sued by the Animation Union at time, and Union won the case with overwhelming evidence of how mismanagement and greedy of the higher up can be. To put it lightly, they gave animator an unrealistic among of quota (cos they want to make the film cheap) but they also want an animation quality as amazing as other big studio like Disney, Dreamwork etc, which is impossible. As the result? Nobody can hit those unrealistic quotas. So They were forced to do unpaid OT. Studio basically claimed that it's those animator's fault to not hit their quotas (From what I heard, the animation quotas of this project are around 2-3 times more than usual feature film quotas). Also since they set quality of animation high, animators have do go back and fix their scene (we called Retake) while struggle hitting the quotas. At some point a good among of animators left this sinking ship of the project. Studio decided those who left not deserved get any their names on the end credit even tho their woks used in the film. Ironically, because of their mismanagement that lead their lawsuit, The Animation Union was officially born. Studios now have to think and plan more for their project. OT now has to be paid and with a consent from both Employer and Employee under the specific among of hours. No more infinite among of unpaid OT.

Why can't we have high budget animation on d*ck joke movies ? is that something illegal ? or does every movie needs to be about Steins gate and Death note level of storytelling ? Why can't people unerstand this movie is NOT about storytelling it's about jokes.

Wow, that's interesting that you can point when a Donald Duck cartoon came out by his clothing.

[@EthanDarke]

Dude I would *totally* sit and watch old animated stuff with you just to listen to your assorted random knowledge like when you were talking about Donald Duck. I often do the same when watching horror movies, and many don't want to watch them with me xD Edit: also the same with military movies since I'm a Vet hahah

[@laliclaudesol2350]

I've got ya, buddy! Yeah I'm the same with animation AND horror, it's just so nice to enjoy a film and learning a ton of fun facts about it!

[@discordiacreates6669]

Same fam, I love watching monster films just to look at the monster designs if they even look biologically sound, then just some animation techniques are worth taking note of imo because some are so well done. Oh, and ig having a good story is good as well, but it's rarer to check both boxes for me lol

[@Doodle_Dragon]

Lol. Yea. As somebody who wants to go into animation I love to talk about the really cool angles, designs, and all that crap :P

[@crazycreaturestudios]

Those animation facts about Donald were genuinely interesting. I never knew that there were such specific differences between time periods. That whole part near the beginning of how no one gets people who like animation is so relatable! It can be so isolating at times, especially if your trying to make friends irl instead of online.

[@gabriellemeche992]

I found those facts interesting as well. As for being an animation geek, I'm lucky I have my mum. She says doing 'traditional grown up' stuff makes her get wrinkles. I've geeked out over animation with her ever since I was a child. We still watch our favorite shows together, I'm 21 and she's turning 46 later this year, and it brings me back to simpler times. It's already so hard admitting that I like watching animation, even anime is still a bit of an isolating experience where I'm from, but having my mum makes it so much easier.

[@Cakesadamant]

No bullshit, saw this film in theaters with a couple buddies, when we saw a guy and his little girl buying tickets. The clerk attempted at telling him it wasn't a children film but he wouldn't listen. Like 15 minutes into the movie said man walked out with his little girl and had an absolutley defeated demeanor. Tbh that was more entertaining than the actual movie!

Oh man, I remember when this abomination came out, I was still like a teen. My dad, being the old fashioned type, went to a video club to get me and my younger siblings a movie to watch, and despite stuff's warnings that this was NOT a childrens' film, he ignored them, thinking "It's an animated movie, can't be worse than your typical DreamWorks film". The terror on his face when the first obvious sexual scene came up 😂 Meanwhile I'm telling my siblings to just not look, while trying not burst out laughing at the whole thing. Needless to say we didn't watch the whole thing.

[@axolotlquestions88]

My dad would have done the same thing with me and my brother if we were kids when this came out. And I would be watching the chaos going on around me more than paying attention to the actual film.

[@levifoster5639]

I have a funny memory from this movie. Back when it was coming out it was around Thanksgiving. My whole family (around 30-35 people including kids) had gathered at my relatives for dinner, and prior to eating we were all talking and spending time together. Me and my cousin mentioned seeing the trailer for this movie, but couldn't remember the name of it. In my awkwardness I finally remembered the name halfway through dinner, so I suddenly stood up and exclaimed 'Sausage Party!' while we were all eating.

[@Ceoofsonic06]

[@HydraSpectre1138]

I can’t convince my parents to watch arthouse animated films for adults. Yet they would watch the most lowbrow local kids’ comedies out there because they’re live action, even if I don’t want to. And said local kids’ comedies are ridiculously long, being three to four hours long. Longer than any film from The Lord of the Rings Trilogy. And they have nothing happening but goofy ahh moments in live action and lowbrow kids’ comedy. The first time I convinced my mom to watch an arthouse film (albeit live action) was Parasite, and she didn’t get it.

[@pundertalefan4391]

There is a market for mature animation. But mature means something different besides "Sex, over the top violence, stereotypes, swear words." Some people don't know that, sadly. Honestly, I don't mind if those things are there, but it bugs me when that's ALL there is.

[@starthefrakkfangirl6094]

If you look for a mature animated film for older audiences, try the Hungarian film Tragedy of Man (2011). It was based on a play with the same name, directed by Marcell Jankovics and it took 30 years in the making. As of now it's available on KZbin with subtitles. The director also worked on many other projects including Johnny Corncob, Son of White Mare (Both of which are adaptations of literary works), and on the visuals of Hungarian Folktales. His films use plenty of symbolism which is very hard to understand at first glance, such as some adult themes. (not the same way as this movie did, but more maturaly in my opinion) As another Animation Nerd I was obsessed with his works, and still am to this day.

Back in the day there were these ancient devices called a Fisher Price View-Master. A portable 3d viewer with round disks that had film cells in them. They offered short stories in 3d animation. I was more fascinated with the stories that were made using miniature models and figures. Miniature effects were a fascination and passion with me from an early age. So I get your love of animation that you carried into adulthood. Getting into 3d modeling and rendering gave me a chance to dabble in a process similar to miniature animation.

I did want to see Everything Everywhere All at Once, when it got an Oscars rerelease, but I didn’t get to see it in cinemas, only on Blu-ray.
