- I love these animations that they have out now.

Hey, look at this! - (chuckles) I love this.

- (Sammy Bagel Jr.) Run for your fuckin' lives!!
- The language! It's definitely not for kids.
- This is obviously an adult-- an adult movie.
- I'm overwhelmed with all the action.
(in movie: screaming)
- Everything's happening so fast.
- All of a sudden, my stomach started turning.
- (Douche) ...that shit, it'll fuck you up for life.
- I gotta see this. - (Douche) Good luck!
It'll fuck you up for life. - (chuckling)
"It'll fuck you up for life!"

- "Sausage Party." (snickers)
- Is this-- is this a Pixar?
No, you know, you think that it's gonna be a kid's movie
and then you go, "Oh, I don't think so!"
- Did they release these movies with all that effing in it?
- (Finebros) Yes, they do! - But regular movie theaters?
(movie reel clicks)
- (Finebros) All right, so how would you describe
what you just watched? - Pleasant and disgusting.
- Uh, cartoon made for adults.
- There were vegetables and fruits
and there were all kinds of crazy things going on.
- They thought they finding out-- they found a home,
where they got picked up by people.
They realize that, you know, their real destiny,
you know, is for us to eat 'em.
- I didn't like the language
and the idea of making these characters so adorable
that you fall in love with them, and then see them destroyed and eaten
is a little sick.
If people are finding this humorous, then I am definitely out of step.
- (Finebros) So this was the trailer for the new movie Sausage Party,
an animated comedy that is clearly aimed at adults.
- Yes, I would hope so.
- It's clever.
Whether I go spend $15 to see it or not, I don't think so.
- I hope that they don't get it confused with a kids movie
and take the kids to see that because that would not be nice.
- (Finebros) Do you think that this movie is gonna change the way
people think about food in the future? - No, I don't think so. (laughs)
- It'll make me laugh next time I go to Costco and have a hog dog.
- Do you think this movie is gonna make people think
that food is not an inanimate object?
No, I don't think so.
- The idea of eating something with a face
might finally affect them and they decide to cut back
on animals that they eat.
- (Finebros) The film boasts a star studded cast,
including Kristen Wiig, James Franco, Edward Norton, Salma Hayek, and Seth Rogen,
who also had a hand in writing and producing.
- I know some of the names.
- (Finebros) What do think it is about a film like this
that would attract such big name talent?
- Probably the salaries they're getting paid.
- From a purely practical point of view, it's kind of great work.
You don't have to even get dressed very nicely.
- Everybody wants to be a part of something fun,
and I bet they had a blast doing it.
- I don't get it.
If I was making that kind of money and I had established
those kinds of careers, I wouldn't be involved.
- (Finebros) This trailer is something that viewers
have been begging us to specifically show you, the elders.
- Really? Okay.
- (Finebros) Why do you think people wanted to see
elders specifically react to a movie like this?
- To watch us fumble.
I used to love cartoons as a kid.
As an adult, I kinda got away from it.
I became a little more practical in my thinking,
although I still like to watch 'em
because it's still the basis of who I am.
- Our judgment, I think, is something that people respect
because we've been around a little while longer
and it comes with experience.
- Because a lot of young people think that the elder community
are a bunch of old fogies!
- They probably thought we'd be all shocked or something.
Hopefully, people will go, "Oh.
Well, they're just not as old and stodgy as I thought."
- I see things every day that offend me, but it's not language.
Believe me, I didn't have that problem.
I grew up on the streets of Brooklyn.

- (Finebros) Some people are saying that this movie
really pushes the boundaries with its humor.
Can you think of anything else from back in the day that did the same?
- Um, no. I really cannot.
- Roadrunner.
And the coyote always wanted to eat that roadrunner.
- When I was younger and watching cartoons, for instance,
there seemed to be a lot of violence in them,
but it was in a funny way.
- The Marx Brothers, Abbott and Costello.
- Wait Till Your Father Gets Home, and that was supposed to be kind of racy.
- Laugh-In, and that did-- that was supposed to be pushing boundaries.
And it did. It actually did.
It was sort of a precursor to Saturday Night Live in a way.
- (Finebros) Back to the film, is this something you'd let your kids
or grandkids see? - I wouldn't. No.
- Nope. I think it's disgusting.
- No. I would not.
I don't want to expose them to that.
- It's not for kids.
If they were really little, they might not want to eat a hot dog any more,
which is probably good for them. (chuckles)
- (Finebros) And, finally, after seeing this trailer,
what would you like to say to the food that you ate today?
- I would say, "Get me one of your friends and come back tomorrow."
- Food, you are yummy. Love it.
- Muchas gracias, huevos rancheros, for giving your life for me.
- Just don't give me indigestion
'cause I don't want all that going on in my stomach.
- Thanks for watching this episode of Elders React.
- Like what you saw? Well, hot dog! Hit that subscribe button.
- Let us know in the comments what movie trailer we should react to next.
- Thanks for watching. I'll never eat a baby carrot again.
