Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs Trailer

Sony Pictures Animation have released the first trailer for their 3D animated film Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, based on the children’s book by Judi and Ron Barrett. This is from the same studio that brought us Open Season, Monster House and Surf’s Up, and it is directed by Phil Lord and Chris Miller, co-creators of the animated series Clone High.

The story revolves around a young scientist who, in his attempt to fix world hunger, ends up making the weather rain down food and beverages at breakfast, lunch and dinner. Supposedly the movie will play out like a spoof of popular disaster movies in some capacity; let’s just hope that it in no way resembles Disaster Movie. The trailer does make it look like a bit of goofy fun, and with a voice cast that includes Andy Samberg, Anna Faris, Bruce Campbell, Tracy Morgan, James Caan, Bill Hader, and Mr. T, I have to say, I might actually check this out. Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs hits theatres on September 18th. Check out the trailer below and see what you think.

  1. This looks awesome! I love the animation style and the Jello bouncing seemed great too

    plus Mr. T and Bruce Campbell I am there

    Clone High was great and from the trailer it looks like some of that humour is in this movie

  2. I was concerned about this, because I loved the book as a kid, but it looks cute! And what’s up with the rock-ish cover of “Food, Glorious Food” from Oliver! in the trailer? Ha!

  3. I love the look of this.

  4. Mr. T is the man. Apparently he never went into the studio but they have just used old sound clips of him from the A. Team and I think the GPS voice he did for Navtones!

    Looking forward to it!

  5. As a satire of disaster films, it really would have been nice to see “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs” in live action, with giant food raining down on real cities.
