    Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2 (not because of the film, several people were pointing at laughing at the wet stain on my crotch, even though it was clearly where I had spilled lime soda. They asked why I didn’t have the cup, I’d left it at my seat and ran away before they could check.)

    My wife (and I) absolutely hate the trope where the girl in the movie takes off her glasses and is suddenly attractive. May have been the best part of Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs when Flint told Sam she was beautiful bc she put her glasses back on

    I realized recently that PHM was directed by the guys that made The Lego Movie, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, and Spiderverse. It makes me wonder if their experience with those animated movies impacted PHM's development in anyway, it seems it was very loose, creative and alway discussing ideas

    I know this film is far from perfect, and admittedly, pretty average, but I do have nostalgia for it. And without it, we wouldn't have stuff like the Spiderverse films, KPop Demon Hunters, or Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs.

    Highly recommend watching "The Day The Earth Blew Up", a new Looney Tunes movie that's in theaters. It's an alien invasion buddy movie with tons of cartoon gags. Reminded me of a cross between Strange Brew and Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs. Rare to get a 2D film, so it's worth supporting!

    "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs" is the first animated movie I can remember doing something like this with "A Film By A Lot of People." Say what you will about Lord and Miller after the Across the Spider-Verse production stories, but they have at least shown they're not credit hogs.

    The fact that AniMat thinks that a sci-fi movie from 2009 is worse than Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs is honestly surprising and a long-time coming. Regardless of your thoughts on his opinion on the latter (I love it imo), we can all agree that Planet 51 made the first Cloudy movie look like Up.

    I enjoy how Miller & Lord put together their movies. "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs" was a charming cartoon. "21 Jump Street" and the sequel "22JS" were cheerful buddy comedies. "The Lego Movie" is a must-see classic. Would've loved to see their "Solo" than Opie's solidly workable and dull fare.
