Rogen and Goldberg’s comedic chops are self evident, with writing credits ranging from “Superbad” to their directorial debut, “This is the End.” But “Sausage Party” speaks to a niche of animators who toil in the shadow of Pixar and Disney while dreaming of more outrageous, adult-friendly work that no massive commercial entity has been willing to take on. To date, the movie has grossed over $138 million worldwide, well over its reported $19 million budget, inspiring distributor Sony to mount an awards campaign - and much of the animation community is rooting for its success.Īziz Ansari’s ‘Good Fortune’ Suspends Production Due to Strike Years later, with the help of Megan Ellison’s Annapurna Pictures, “Sausage Party” came to vulgar life under the guidance of veteran animation directors Conrad Vernon (“Shrek 2”) and Greg Tiernan. “We really naively thought everyone in Hollywood would be very enthusiastic about an R-rated comedy about a hot dog trying to uncover the meaning of existence,” Rogen told a New York crowd filled with members of the Academy’s animation branch last weekend.

In 1997 it became an independent educational institution.Welsh purchased the Pacific Stoneware, which was a production ceramics company producing wheel thrown pottery. The school grew in size and stature after WWII, became the reputable professional art school of today and renamed the Pacific Northwest College of Art in 1994. The school was an outgrowth of the 19th century Portland Sketch Club in hopes of bringing the Portland area an institutional art study program. In the 1940's when he began working with stoneware Welsh established the 'ceramics department' at the Portland Art Museum's art school, the "Museum Art School" and building most of the equipment himself. He became very knowledgeable about high temperature stoneware and one of the first in the Pacific Northwest to work with this type of clay. ![]() Welsh had a career as a potter and teacher that spanned more than 50 years. ![]() History:Bennett Welsh was born in Gresham, Oregon in 1922.
