Cloudy 2

So while on Fall Break I was able to watch this sequel with my dad <3 and even though he fell asleep during the first 15-20 minutes of the film he said that he did enjoy watching the film - which is saying something. But anyways, I posted up a review of the first film Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs sometime last week and have finally found the time to blog about my review of the sequel. 

The animation/art/concept is beautiful!

For an animated sequel I thought that Cloudy 2 did very well! Animated sequels are not known for being well written with a decent storyline and are just meant to be because of the success of the original. Now one could argue about the Shrek sequels being decent as well (which I think that they are but that argument if for another day). Not only does Cloudy 2 keep its cuteness, humor (who doesn't like food puns?), and character but the art is just as incredible as the original Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs! Sony has done a magnificent job continuing the storyline right where the last movie left off (quite literally 2 seconds after where the first movie ended) and quickly develops the new problem that is arising from what is left of Swallow Falls aka Chew and Swallow. 

Now, I do not want to give anything away so you will just have to go see it! However I will give you my initial reaction after seeing this film. As I said before, Cloudy 2 is a successful sequel in my opinion because of its consistency with the original such as its humor and overall character. And while although, some plot is predictable (I mean it is meant to be watched by children) I lost myself in watching this film - it was entertaining and engaging in every sense. The colors are radiant and the foodimals are adorable! I utterly loved watching this film, I would go and see it again in a heart beat and maybe I can drag my roommate to see it but who knows. ;) So go and see it if you have not already!
