The film's animation was handled by the Vancouver-based Nitrogen Studios.[4] It is the first computer-animated film to be rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA).[8][9][10] The film's rough cut premiered on March 14, 2016, at South by Southwest, followed by its general theatrical release in the United States on August 12, 2016, by Columbia Pictures.[11]
The film received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised its story, animation, voice acting, and humor, though it received some criticism for its heavy use of profanity. It grossed $141 million against a budget of $19 million, becoming the highest-grossing R-rated animated film at the time until it was surpassed by Demon Slayer: Mugen Train in 2020. A streaming series based on the film, Sausage Party: Foodtopia, is scheduled for release in July 2024.
