Norway Thinks It Just Made ‘Sausage Party’ Meets ‘South Park’

Norway really saw Seth Rogen make the most unlikely and inappropriate movie-turned-series with Sausage Party and said, “Hold my lutefisk.”

Last week, Rogen and Amazon Prime Video launched Sausage Party: Foodtopia, the even more crass and heavy-handed social critique sequel series to his 2016 film that many of us thought was a collective hallucination from a combination of food poisoning and overindulgence on dank. As such, Sausage Party: Foodtopia opened with a second enormous food orgy that has many critics and viewers wondering exactly where the series can go from here on its quest to make the most upsetting cartoon porn out of Pixar-esque animation.

The answer, apparently, is in Northern Europe, where a Norwegian animated musical comedy film called — seriously — Spermageddon just found a French distributor following a successful premiere at the annual Annecy Film Festival. In his film, Spermageddon director Tommy Wirkola, whose previous credits include Dead Snow and Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters, reportedly takes inspiration from both Sausage Party and South Park to tell a “crude and heartwarming” story of a pair of teenaged sperm cells on their quest to find the egg.

Put that in your pipe and smoke it, Seth — then take an STD test.

French distribution company Originals Factory, which previously released international projects like Everything, Everywhere All at Once and The Whale, picked up Spermageddon after it made a big splash (gross) at the annual animation festival in Eastern France. “Spermageddon marks our first step into feature animation,” Originals Factory CEO Tristan Du Laz said in a statement to Variety. “We’re thrilled and terribly excited to be working on such an original, daring and irreverent cinematic proposition, one that’s furiously in tune with the times. This film is a total favorite, and we can’t wait to share it with the young-adult audience for whom it is intended.”

Spermageddon’s international sales and production house Charades has already secured releases in other countries across Europe and parts of Asia, though American distributors have apparently found Spermageddon to be too much to swallow (double gross) thus far. Said Charades Chairman Yohann Comte of the distribution deal, “Originals Factory has proved they were one of the only distributors who could be audacious and innovative enough to bring to the theaters the young adult audience with bold indie cinema proposals, while maximizing ancillary revenues.”

With the continued use of phrases like “young adult audience” to describe the market for Spermageddon, the film is shaping up to be some kind of extreme musical sex-education informational video for teen perverts whose attention spans need bright colors and ample stimulation (triple gross) for them to get the message — in other words, it’s perfect for Rogen’s fanbase.
