Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs


I saw this movie a few weeks ago and within the first ten minutes, I was laughing my head off. And what was so neat about it, was that it was all good clean humor.
The story, for those who don't know, is about a small town that used to be famous for it anchovies. That is until the world realized that anchovies were disgusting. So the economy of the town plummeted, and all they had to eat was anchovies.
Then young inventor Flint Lockwood (his inventions inspired, but usually dangerous) decides to change all that by building a machine that will change water to food. That way, no one has to eat anchovies anymore. Unfortunately, when he tries to reveal it, he fires it into the clouds. Soon, hamburgers begin to rain from the clouds.
Because of the way Flint set up the system, he is able to control what food come out. Unfortunately, there is an overload, and the portions get larger. And he realizes that everyone needs to escape, and he must shut down the machine.

The last parts of the movie are so hilarious, because they parody scenes (sometimes to exact shots) of other movies. Such as Tron, Independence Day, Day After Tomorrow. And, one of the best parts, when Mr. T's character jumps through a flying nacho, and the hole that he made is the shape of a T.
This definitely was the best animated movie I've seen all year.
