Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 1 + 2 – DVD

Double bill of animated children's features. 'Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs' (2009) follows the adventures of Flint Lockwood (voice of Bill Hader), a fairly unsuccessful amateur scientist who appears to have developed a device that will bring an end to world hunger. Unfortunately his invention, which causes food to rain out of the sky, ends up causing more trouble than good as his town is flooded with more food than people know what to do with. Flint and weather girl Sam (Anna Faris) must try and figure out what has gone wrong and save their town from disaster.

In 'Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2' (2013) Flint is offered employment at the Live Corp Company, a prestigious facility where the greatest minds are given free rein to pursue their ideas. There he works with his idol Chester V (Will Forte) and his assistant Barb (Kristen Schaal), an orang-utan in possession of a human brain thanks to the experiments of Chester. However, what seems an ideal life for Flint is thrown into turmoil when he discovers that his most famous invention is being used to create bizarre creatures that are half-animal and half-food, such as tacodiles, shrimpanzees and apple pie-thons. Can Flint and his friends put a stop to the chaos?
