The tasty adventures of Flint Lockwood continue when CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF MEATBALLS 2 hits theatres later this year. The sequel picks up where the first film left off. We now see Flint as he works for his idol, Chester V, at the Live Corp Company, with all the best and brightest inventors in the world. Flint is finally living the dream that he’s always had: to be recognized as a great inventor!
Problems arise when Flint’s FLDSMDFR invention wasn’t destroyed as we thought it was in the first film. The machine that once turned water into food begins creating living food creatures, called Food-imals. These creatures are hybrids between food and animals, including shrimpanzees (chimpanzees/shrimp), watermelophants (elephants/watermelons), and flamangos (flamingos/mangos). The Food-imals take over Flint’s home and the island where he lives.
There will also be new characters in this film, such as Barb, Chester V’s highly evolved, lipstick-wearing chimpanzee assistant, who is voiced by Kristen Schaal. Anna Faris (who voices Sam Sparks, Flint’s girlfriend) describes Barb as “a snarky, know-it-all chimpanzee, and aggressive.”
It’s up to Flint (voiced by Bill Hader), Sam and his friends, to stop the Food-imals.
CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF MEATBALLS was based off the book by the same name, written by Judi Barrett.
