If Sausage Party hit the spot, these will too

Checkered Ninja poster
Checkered Ninja
2018 · dir. Thorbjørn Christoffersen
★ 7.1animation · comedy · adventurePrime Video

Kids'-movie animation hiding genuinely crude, adult-only jokes

The difference: Darker revenge spine — it plays its sweatshop stakes straight

A possessed Ninja doll teams up with a teenage boy to avenge the murder of a poor child factory worker.

Isle of Dogs poster
Isle of Dogs
2018 · dir. Wes Anderson
🍅 90%★ 7.8adventure · comedy · animationMaxDisney+

Deadpan animated comedy made for adults, told with total craft

The difference: Dry Wes Anderson wit — precise and mannered, never filthy

In the future, an outbreak of canine flu leads the mayor of a Japanese city to banish all dogs to an island used as a garbage dump. The outcasts must soon embark on an epic journey when a 12-year-old boy arrives on the island to find his beloved pet.

The Mitchells vs. the Machines poster
The Mitchells vs. the Machines
2021 · dir. Mike Rianda
🍅 97%★ 7.6animation · adventure · comedyNetflix

Rapid-fire absurdist gags stacked on an apocalypse premise

The difference: Wholesome family core — the anarchy is all sweet-natured

A quirky, dysfunctional family's road trip is upended when they find themselves in the middle of the robot apocalypse and suddenly become humanity's unlikeliest last hope.

Slayers Return poster
Slayers Return
1996 · dir. Hiroshi Watanabe
★ 6.9animation · comedy · fantasy

Irreverent anime comedy where the heroes are cheerfully amoral

The difference: Lightweight 90s anime lark — naughty, never obscene

Lina Inverse and Naga the White Serpent are back! What begins as a routine bandit-stomping turns into the adventure of a lifetime involving magical golems, an ancient Elven weapon and even someone bent on destroying the world. It's a predicament only Lina and Naga could get themselves in to.

The Addams Family poster
The Addams Family
1991 · dir. Barry Sonnenfeld
🍅 67%★ 7comedy · fantasyParamount+

The same mix in both: whimsy, then wit

The difference: Takes it somewhere less epic than Sausage Party does

When a man claiming to be long-lost Uncle Fester reappears after 25 years lost, the family plans a celebration to wake the dead. But the kids barely have time to warm up the electric chair before Morticia begins to suspect Fester is fraud when he can't recall any of the details of Fester's life.

South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut poster
South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut
1999 · dir. Trey Parker
🍅 81%★ 7.7animation · comedyParamount+

The same gleeful profanity weaponized into actual satire — with songs

The difference: Its satire aims at censorship politics, not existence itself

The third graders of South Park sneak into an R-rated film by ultra-vulgar Canadian television personalities Terrance and Phillip, and emerge with expanded vocabularies that leave their parents and teachers scandalized. When outraged Americans try to censor the film, the controversy spirals into a call to wage war on Canada and Terrance and Phillip end up on death row, with the kids their only hope of rescue.

Secret Magic Control Agency poster
Secret Magic Control Agency
2021 · dir. Alexey Tsitsilin
★ 6.2animation · comedy · fantasyNetflix

A glossy CG comedy quest running on the same cartoon logic

The difference: Strictly family-safe — nothing transgressive survives here

The Secret Magic Control Agency sends its two best agents, Hansel and Gretel, to fight against the witch of the Gingerbread House.

Tales from Earthsea poster
Tales from Earthsea
2006 · dir. Goro Miyazaki
★ 6.3animation · fantasy · adventureMax

Animation aimed past kids, taking big existential questions seriously

The difference: Solemn high fantasy — no jokes to cushion the darkness

As crops dwindle and dragons reappear, mankind stands on the verge of total chaos. Lord Archmage Sparrowhawk, a powerful wizard, and Arren, a troubled young prince, search for the force behind this mysterious imbalance that threatens to destroy the land of Earthsea.

The Addams Family poster
The Addams Family
2019 · dir. Conrad Vernon
🍅 46%★ 5.9family · animation · comedyPeacock

Both are Conrad Vernon's work, and they rhyme

The difference: The critics' underdog of the pair

The Addams family's lives begin to unravel when they face-off against a treacherous, greedy crafty reality-TV host while also preparing for their extended family to arrive for a major celebration.

Ronal the Barbarian poster
Ronal the Barbarian
2011 · dir. Kresten Vestbjerg Andersen
★ 6.5animation · adventure · fantasy

A cheerful European spoof happy to get rude with its fantasy tropes

The difference: Gentler gags on a smaller budget — parody without the shock

Ronal is a young barbarian with low self-esteem, the polar opposite of all the muscular barbarians in his village. He's a real wuss. However, as fate would have it, responsibility for the tribe's survival falls on Ronal's scrawny shoulders, when the evil Lord Volcazar raids the village and abducts every living barbarian with the exception of Ronal, who is forced to go on a perilous quest to save his enslaved clan and thwart Volcazar’s plot to rule the world.

Shrek Forever After poster
Shrek Forever After
2010 · dir. Mike Mitchell
🍅 58%★ 6.4comedy · adventure · fantasyPeacock

A fairy-tale world skewered with jokes for the grown-ups in the room

The difference: PG mischief only — its edge stops where Sausage Party starts

A midlife-crisis burdened Shrek, longing for the days of when he felt like a real ogre, makes a pact with magic deal-maker Rumpelstiltskin. But when he's duped and sent to a twisted version of Far Far Away—where Rumpelstiltskin is king, ogres are hunted, and he and Fiona have never met—he sets out to restore his world and reclaim his true love.

A Cat in Paris poster

Playful animation, and it commits to that

A thrilling mystery that unfurls in the alleys and on the rooftops of the French capital, Paris, over the course of one adventurous evening.
