King Sausage

When Greetje's father Mr. Tuitjes, a butcher, decides to compete against his Italian rival Smakkerelli, their whole usually so quiet village is turned upside down. The enemies have closed the deal that whoever loses the competition organized by the Society or Meat Products from Fresh Pigs must leave town forever. And that threatens not only Mr. Tuitjes' business, but also the love between Greetje and Nol. Suddenly, the annual sausage competition becomes a devilish dilemma: will Greetje choose her father's luck, or her own?

Directed by Mascha Halberstad, King Sausage leans on a strong ensemble — Henry van Loon, Jelka van Houten, Kees Prins — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about animation titles of 2022.
