After his raunchy R-rated animated comedy film succeeded in the box office, creator Seth Rogen expressed interest in making a sequel to Sausage Party, leaving off where the entrance into the real dimension took place. He said that he'd be very interested in a live-action animation crossover a la Who Framed Roger Rabbit, citing it as one of his all-time favorite movies. More importantly though, he expressed interested in creating other CGI-animated films intended for adults alongside the sequel project.
To answer my own question, I think it's damn near a possibility, but probably not something we'll get until nearly the end of the decade. CGI was known for two decades as a family-exclusive category until Sausage Party skewered the stereotype that all animated films are for kids in 2016, and of course it drew mass controversy from parents who thought it was a kids movie just because it's animated, similar to Deadpool's fate earlier that year for being about superheroes. Personally I think another independent adult animated movie in CGI could follow into SP's footsteps several years from now, but I don't really see it becoming a consecutive project mainly due to complaining misinformed parents and moral guardians. Hell, I don't think even a sequel to Sausage Party would come anywhere close to the success of its predecessor. It would probably be of poor direct-to-DVD quality, and honestly, the movie has become a dead horse by now. It didn't have a major cultural impact and hardly anyone remembers it today outside of its infamous status as the first R-rated CGI movie and its trailers. In my opinion, the movie was just okay; it provided some decent laughs and had vibrant animation, but nothing was near groundbreaking and I wouldn't go out of my way to rewatch it.
Aside from it being old news and lacking a historical impact, the story behind the animators being used just seems to controversial to me for a sequel to be greenlit anytime soon. Thus, any other potential CGI adult animated projects would likely suffer the same fate.
