That’s why many psychologists believe that religion (in some form) has been present in humans as long as consciousness has. For most people, the only functional alternative to having a comforting story about a future afterlife, would to either lose all will to live, or to completely lack self-awareness and any concept of the future (like an animal). The only exceptions would be a few people with a very atypical psychology, which the non-perishables (a particularly stoic bunch) seem to possess in the film.

If they really had that level of awareness of such a horrifying, hopeless fate, they probably would have just lost their will to live, and either offed themselves like Honey Mustard did or stopped being sentient altogether.

[[WMG: The non-perishables were the first food items ever to become conscious, and the myth of the Great Beyond helped make the other foods self-aware.]]
Firewater’s flashback segment makes it look as though the food items once spent their entire existence in unremitting horror, knowing full well what was going to happen, before he came up with the Great Beyond song. However, he might be embellishing that bit.

The only exceptions would be a few people with a very atypical psychology, which the non-perishables (a particularly stoic bunch) seem to possess in the film.

Firewater is an alcoholic beverage, so he already has an inherent “mind-altering” quality about him. Thus he’s a natural candidate for the first food item to become conscious. At that time, the other food items were sentient but lacked self-awareness, being more animal-like than human-like. Firewater was lonely and wanted to teach them how to think and talk like he did. But he knew that increased awareness could easily drive them to madness if he didn’t also give them a “noble lie” (as Plato would say) to comfort them.

Firewater thus has similarity with proverbial “philosopher kings”, as well as “first man” figures from world cultures and religions, particularly Native American ones (where the “first man” figure is usually also a trickster figure, like Nanabozho is in Ojibwe lore).

Long story short, while the film is clearly critical of organized religion, it’s definitely ''not'' advocating the snarky New Atheist viewpoint that sees religion as something wholly evil that ought never to have existed in the first place. The viewpoint of the film seems to be more nuanced, viewing religion similarly to how Marx viewed capitalism (i.e. as a necessary stage in the development of society, and in fact preferable to what had existed before, but also as something which society must eventually outgrow in order to continue progressing).

Obviously, it's not a ''good'' thing that the animators were forced to do more work than they were compensated for, and if you know anything about how small the reference pools are for animation, you'd know that a threat of blacklisting is a very, very low blow. And while it's perfectly reasonable to be turned off to the movie because of this, consider the many, many live action movies that have had similar behind the scenes drama and are considered masterpieces: ''Film/{{Titanic|1997}}'' is widely remembered for James Cameron's out-of-control temper behind the scenes, often screaming at his crew and fighting with studio heads, to the point that t-shirts were maid that said "You Don't Scare Me, I Work For James Cameron." Creator/CecilBDeMille notoriously insulted his casts and famously made his crew dig out two parking lots and a crosswalk at a moment's notice just to get one shot in ''Film/TheTenCommandments'', and it's one of the most famous scenes ever photographed. These and other movies couldn't have happened if their directors were anything ''but'' hot blooded to the point of abusive to everyone working under them.

** It's been announced by Sony Pictures Animation that more R and PG-13 rated movies in CGI are in the works. Only ''Sausage Party'' could have been the inspiration.




to:

** Unlikely, as in summer 2020 Sony Pictures Animation announced that they would be making more animated movies rated R and PG-13. Since SPA has only ever made CGI movies, it's a safe bet that they'll be rendered in 3D computer animation. In fact, Creator/GenndyTartakovsky is confirmed to be working on a CGI adult animated movie called ''Fixed'', and has opted out of directing ''Hotel Transylvania 4'' in favor of it.

** Be that as it may, the accusations were not at Seth Rogan, but one of the directors, Greg Tiernan. Rogan had nothing to do with the animation process. Plus, threats of blacklisting are very common in the animation field, they're just rarely as extreme as getting borderline slave labor out of your artists as Tiernan allegedly did. The fact that the movie was a SleeperHit was probably the last straw for a lot of these people, who were insulted that their abusers were getting credit for their work.

* Think about it, in the movie universe everything has a soul, but the only way to see the souls of most things is to take drugs like an ancient shaman. In the movieverse, only things in similar catagories have full awareness of each other without drug enhancement. Meaning that the non-food items are likely sentient as well, but can't perceive beings out of their spiritual catagory. Meaning the pot the foods were smoking probably perceived the food smoking it as chthuluesque horrors burning it alive. And the supermarket felt utter madness happening in its insides.

[[WMG: Much like how ''Film/{{Airplane}}'' lead to the death of disaster movies for almost a decade, the surprise critical and commercial success of Sausage Party will lead to the death of animated movies. Or at least ones by Pixar.]]
