Any out raged parents yet?

 

Well, there's already some thinkpieces:

Culled from the most perverse corners of the male mind, the movie is a raunchy, phallic overload, full of lowbrow wordplay and general filth. It tells the story of anthropomorphized grocery items that find out what really happens when they leave the store. A woman sitting next to me left the theater after a used condom cried out in agony on screen; I heard her muttering the word "disgusting" as she stepped into the aisle. She was not wrong.

I bet you can find a racism thinkpiece for every single major film that came out in the last year 

[baumer]

I'm not sure what there is to be offended about.  If people don't like dick and pussy jokes, then why even go to a Rated R animated film called Sausage Party when the trailers tell you exactly what you are in for?  That would be like me going to see God is not dead complaining there was too many scenes of people praying.

Ugh. Animators weren't paid for OT and some were threatened with termination if they weren't willing to work free extra hours.

 

It always sucks when companies don't treat employees decently. Unfortunately this happens all too often in animation and VFX (who aren't unionized). At least Annapurna sounds like they stepped up to do the right thing.

I liked Sausage Party, but I can't wait to see Kubo and the Two Strings this weekend. Laika always does great work.

This is why it kind of annoys me when people complain about budgets being too big. They don't consider where studios would cut if they tried to lower them.

Welp... now I feel kinda bad for giving the directors a lot of credit.

 

Wonder if they'll move production for the sequel if this news blows up.

It's interesting that it happened at Nitrogen but not Imageworks who I assume is unionised. The directors don't across well at all.

It's the reason why apart from Disney, DWA and Pixar why animation has moved to places outside of California as it's a lot cheaper and also the tax credits can be a big incentive

And half of them weren't even credited. My artist and animator friends are not happy about this. 

 

I'll probably skip on seeing it, now.

Don't let behind the scenes news stop you from seeing the movie, its not like if you don't go those people will end up getting paid more money.

Their names will likely be put on the dvd release anyway, since I imagine the studio wouldn't want to deal with that bad PR.

Even when you work on student freebies, credit is expected. 

 

On VFX movies, often a house is given only a certain number of credits, just so the crawl doesn't run for 20 minutes, but that's a different situation.

This is disgusting.

Who cares how long credits last? Don't 99% of the audience (MCU movies being the exceptions) leave when the credits come on?

I would say 5-7 minutes 

[Mojoguy]

I mean there is too much blank spacing in the credits nowadays. Just put up a wall of text, listing like 50 names on the screen at a time and they would be able to list everyone.

Well the longer the credits are, the more time it takes for the next screening to start at the local theater.

@Tele the Jet Baller I hope your lab rats credit is Telemachos and not your birth name.
