Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs

The GUI of the computer in Flint Lockwood's lab changes from either a Unix / Windows interface, with restore, minimize and close icons on the windows on the right initially.

However, when his dad sends the email, the GUI is a representation of a Mac OS with the icons on the left and in standard Mac OS colours.

When the mayor is leaning against the fence his left thumb is passing through the fence geometry.

The radar screen on the portable Doppler radar sweeps counterclockwise.

It should be clockwise.

- PLOTWhen typing in the first breakfast order into the machine, Flint orders the eggs "over easy", but when it rains, the eggs that are falling are "sunny side up".

In the scene with the "spaghetti tornado", the tornado originally rotates clockwise.

The scene cuts away to something else, but when we see the tornado again it is rotating in the correct counterclockwise motion.

The rotational mistake appears later again as well.

When the clouds are seen approaching Manhattan, the city can be seen.

The Empire State Building is located in Upper Manhattan, but yet is portrayed as being in Lower Manhattan, almost near the former location of the World Trade Center.

Excellent series! My grandson is just 3 months and it keeps him interested.

*Spoiler/plot- Cloudy, Chance of Meatballs, 2009. An animated story telling about a difficult relationship between a blue-collar father and extremely creative son.

To make one thing clear: I am a big fan of animated movies. Starting with toy story i loved nearly every movies of this genre.

Flint Lockwood (Bill Hader) is an inventive kid, but all his inventions end badly. His father (James Caan) is tired of it all and forces him to work at his bait and tackle store.

I caught it on Disney Channel and I liked it. I just wondered why they had to shove a love interest in there?

From an early age Flint Lockwood has been a keen inventor unfortunately his inventions haven't proved too useful. He lives in the town of Swallow Falls on a remote Atlantic island and when the world stops buying their sardines living the locals with nothing else to eat he decides to provide an alternative.

Many people had told me that this computer animated film was hilarious, and I had seen a good amount of clips to be convinced to see it, and with the sequel in cinemas it was obvious the original would be shown on TV, so I watched with interest when it was. Basically on the small island of Swallow Falls, a town thats only revenue and nourishment comes from sardines, Flint Lockwood (Bill Hader) is a clumsy inventor, encouraged by his late mother and misunderstood by his father Tim (James Caan), he has always wanted to invent something great, but all his useless or nonsensical attempts have failed.

It's such a fun and creative concept, who wouldn't want to see delicious food falling from the sky. Seems nice in theory but I'm sure it would be pretty sticky and smell quite bad.

Once again a kid's film succeeds at entertaining more than just the kids! The entertainment value of Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs is immense- this is a colourful, bright, lively film with likable characters, great imagination and undoubtedly a winning recipe.
