The trailer starts with a scene at the grocery store, with all of the products eagerly awaiting to be chosen. “Hey Brenda, you and me,” says a hot dog to a bun. The bun replies, “I’m so happy the gods put our packages together.” Cut to the kitchen, and the hot dogs, buns and other grocery items soon learn their fate when a human takes a peeler to a potato.

“Oh Jesus, f–k! Kill me now,” screams the Irish-accented potato. “She’s peelin’ me f–kin’ skin!”

The lettuce, cheese and even the baby carrots soon endure similar trauma. “They’re eating children!” shouts a hot dog as the human chomps on a pair of baby carrots trying to make their escape. “F–king children!”

Sausage Party was created by Rogen and his frequent collaborator Evan Goldberg, and directed by Greg Tiernan and Conrad Vernon.

In addition to Rogen, the actors voicing the food characters include Kristen Wiig, James Franco, Jonah Hill, Paul Rudd, Salma Hayek, Edward Norton, Michael Cera, Bill Hader, Danny McBride, Nick Kroll and Craig Robinson.
