The movie Sausage Party has been a great success. It was very humorous to see the childish perspective of what groceries see and feel when a consumer picks them up to cross off their checklist. The entire movie is an animation movie, but don't be fooled, it’s not for children’s eyes or ears. Regardless, the movie has been a great success in the big film. The animators were especially excited to see all their hard work be put together into the big screen.

For it appears that the Academy has a differing opinion on these animated films. Amid Amidi, brings attention to how some judges’ feel for their nominations, in his article, “Definitive Proof That Academy Voters Are Ignorant About Animation”. One such judge stated how, “I have seen none of them. I have no interest whatsoever. That ended when I was 6. My son dragged me to a few when he was 6; I would seat him and go outside and make phone calls.” This academy judge apparently didn’t even waste their time with a vote as they abstained in the Best Animated Feature category. Most of these judges do not understand the amount of time and energy it takes to make an incredible animation. Half of these judges abstained in this feature, and the rest voted for Frozen, but these votes was due to the fact that their fellow judges voted for the same.
The idea for this cartoon series was to follow a young girl named Alice and her many adventures around the cartoon world. Cartoonist at the time had attempted to put their cartoons on a live action background, but had very little success and it didn’t make their cartoons sell anymore than they already did. Walt Disney though who takes the idea one step further by having the cartoons revolve around a human actor, showed he did not only deserve his spot up there with the big animators but had the mindset to stay ahead of the game. He probably would have gotten a pretty good start with the Laugh-O-Gram studios if the company Walt had signed a contract with had not gone bankrupt. So Walt gave up on his Kansas City studio and set his sights towards

White collar crime is often associated with crimes committed within businesses. These include different forms of fraud such as tax fraud, welfare fraud, money laundering, and property crime (Simpson & Benson, 2009: 42).

Hikes in prices would mean that consumers would be required to dig dipper into their pockets thus affecting their finances. The loss from fraud could also make the affected company to take drastic measures such as layoffs or implementing salary cuts for the employees (McGrath, n.d).
