Summer is right around the corner, and you know what that means: Grill season returns! Before you get to cooking up some brats and hot dogs, however, Seth Rogen and company would like to present to you this brief public service announcement: You're a deranged food murderer, and every time you prepare and eat a meal, you are brutally ending the lives of food men, women and children. 

And on that happy note, here's the (exceptionally profane) red band trailer for "Sausage Party"!

Oh the foodmanity! Won't somebody please think of the baby carrots!

Cooked up by Rogen and his usual collaborator Evan Goldberg (we can only assume as a result of a monumental binge night of weed, munchies and "Chopped"), "Sausage Party" follows a bunch of cute little food beings whose happy existence is ruined when they discover their human overlords are vicious, insane, Cthulhu nightmare monsters hell bent on torturing and eating them. Basically, it's "Toy Story" if the toys were food, and every person on the planet was Sid. And everybody said f*ck a lot.

Indeed, "Sausage Party" is touted as the first R-rated CG animated movie – suck it, Pixar! – but even more impressive is the voice cast. Like most Rogen/Goldberg productions, they've gathered up a loaded cornucopia of their funniest friends, including Kristen Wiig, Jonah Hill, Bill Hader, Michael Cera, Danny McBride, Edward Norton, Paul Rudd, Craig Robinson and, obviously, James Franco. We can only assume there will be cameos as well. (If our own Racing Sausages don't make an appearance, then why even make this thing?)

According to Variety's report from a post-screening Q&A with Seth Rogen at South By Southwest, the film's still got a ways to go before getting served up later this summer. There's still a lot of animation to finish up, which you can kind of tell from the trailer – it's a little bright and textureless, and maybe somebody can do something about the character design for Kristen Wiig's hot dog bun character, because it is actively unnerving for me to look at. Apparently Alan Menken (yes, THAT Alan Menken; "Beauty and the Beast" and "The Little Mermaid" Alan Menken) has yet to take a crack at the score too. 

Still, from just this brief unfinished glimpse, early "Sausage Party" looks hilarious – my lord, that "Saving Private Ryan" riff – and wildly, darkly creative. And, I mean, how can this story end? With the human race dying out from starvation after realizing they're killing innocent food people? With the food accepting their mortality by the hands of cruel and uncaring gods? Jesus ...

On a lighter note, according to Rogen, they've discovered in their early go-rounds with the MPAA ratings board that, "You can show food f*ck." So I guess we have that to look forward to when the movie comes out on Aug. 12. Prepare to not want to have popcorn and candy for this one – or maybe you will, you sick food-murderering monster.
