Sony Announces R-rated Animated Film



This is a really interesting story. Sony will be releasing an R-rated animated film entitled Sausage Party in 2015. It will be written by Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, Kyle Hunter and Ariel Shaffir. The producers of the film are calling the film raunchy. The film will be directed by Conrad Vernon and Greg Tiernan

The synopsis is as follows:

After falling out of a shopping cart, the hero sausage and his new friends embark on a journey through the supermarket to get back to their aisles before the 4th of July sale.

I am feeling very mixed about this. On one hand, I feel that there should be more adult oriented animated films so more people could consider animation to be an art form than a genre. On the other hand, I feel that animated films shouldn’t purposely target for a certain rating and instead make an R-rated film that just so happens to be rated R. Making it so it can be for a certain rating makes them seem a bit desperate, don’t you think?

Also, I am finding it difficult to comprehend the fact that Sony Pictures Animation, the same studio that made The Smurfs, is making a film that is purposely being rated R and is being described as raunchy. How can a studio that made such a childish film end up wanting to make an adult oriented animated film?

I am not so fond of the story, either. The concept just sounds so dull and silly. I’m not saying that Sausage Party will end up having a horrible story and end up being a horrendous film (I’ll at least need to see a trailer for the film before judging), I’m just saying that at the moment, I’m not so fond of it. It could end up being a really good film. And this is making 2015 in animation way more interesting than it already is!

What do you think about this upcoming film? Comment in the section below!
