Prime Video’s Sausage Party: Foodtopia is sure to be a massive hit for fans of the film, as it follows the same type of humor.
If you love the film Sausage Party, get excited, because a whole new series is coming to Prime Video no July 11th, which continues the story of the foods who just want to live their lives without being eaten by humies. Sausage Party: Foodtopia has a very similar vibe to the movie – it has cheesy jokes and puns, and is not afraid to get very, very, VERY X rated.
This story takes place after the war with the humans, which turned out to be quite easy. Food has taken over the world and is ready to build their own utopia. However, they are not aware of other threats such as rain and birds. Frank (Seth Rogen) and Brenda (Kristen Wiig) decide to capture a human (Will Forte) and use him for answers and advice, unbeknownst to the rest of the food.
Sausage Party: Foodtopia is not afraid to push the envelope when it comes to foods doing dirty things, just as the film wasn’t. There are some truly raunchy scenes, especially in the first episode, as the foods celebrate their win over the humans. That doesn’t last long, however, because when it starts to rain, they realize they do not know this world as well as they thought they did.
When it comes to the story of season one, it is actually quite intriguing. Will the foods end up with the same problems that humanity has?
This series explores morality, and just how far someone would be willing to compromise their beliefs for a chance at survival. Should they be working with their oppressor? Even if he is tied up and under their control? The moral grounds get messy. We don’t want to go too far into details, but there are some moments that even push Will’s character.
Speaking of Will Forte, he is a wonderful addition to this already incredibly talented cast. He voices Jack, who is a human who just wants to survive the apocolyse. He doesn’t seem to be the brightest crayon in the box, but he is a lot smarter than these foods, giving him a clear advantage.
Sam Richardson also joins the cast as an orange named Julius, and is equally hilarious. He lets things go to his head very quickly, and is a fun addition to all of the craziness going on.
Fan favorite characters return, including Sammy (Edward Norton) and Barry (Michael Cera). There are ridiculous puns, silly jokes, and a lot of X-rated content, but that is exactly what fans of the original film are going to be looking for. If you did not enjoy the movie, you will not enjoy Sausage Party: Foodtopia.
The story here is an interesting one, the animation quality and style is on par with the 2016 film, and the series follows the same vibe as the moive. Fans will not be disappointed.
Sausage Party: Foodtopia comes to Prime Video on July 11th.
