The film tells the story of a sausage named Frank that lives at a supermarket with various other food products. They live a peaceful life with their ultimate goal to get picked by a customer. To their delight, they are purchased by a woman, and brought to her home. They soon discover the truth about their existence, when the woman prepares a meal with them that equates to torture and death. Now, with the help of his friends, they embark on an adventure to escape their fate.
(Writer Evan Goldberg & Seth Rogen (the Night Before & This is the End), Studio Nitrogen Studios Canada Inc. & Sony Pictures Imageworks, Production 092413~~, Budget $? Millions -> Box Office $? Millions, Duration 1hr 23mn, Rating R, Genre - Adventure, Animation, Mature Comedy)
~ Playing to the usual animation trope but with a mature yet childish twist on everyday grocery items having the same thoughts and feelings as humans Ala Toy Story but at the most extreme opposite when they found out about their predetermined fate
+ Anthropomorphous groceries appeal to the juvenile side while the eventual realisation of their impending demise and their rather vulgar reactions to it are understandable for the mature audiences
+ Smart use of the R rating in the way of the vivid the death imagery at the 'battlefield' and the variety of ways the food items are shaped and sized would be a great potential foundation for them to build upon the characters and the situations they are in
