The Sausage Party cast is star-studded, and thanks to the wide range of celebrity cameos playing foul-mouthed food items Seth Rogen's animated comedy remains as popular as ever. The raunchy comedy Sausage Party was not what anyone expected, an adult-animated movie about anthropomorphic food in a grocery store that believes that when they are bought, they will go to a better place where everything will be perfect. However, when one food item is returned and knows the truth, it turns the entire store upside down.
The cast of Sausage Party cast includes some of the biggest names in comedy movies. Many of them got their start together in Judd Apatow's movies and TV shows. What's more, the raunchy animated movie features many frequent collaborators also worked together on several movies and TV shows both before and after the Sausage Party release in 2016. There are also some other Sausage Party cast that went on to become creators in their own rights, from directors to television showrunners, and they had a chance here to deliver some hilarious, raunchy, and R-rated comedy lines.
