Meet your Foodimals

Meet the characters from the movie Cloudy with a chance of meatballs 2 airing on the 31st of January 2014 at a Ster-Kinekor theatre near you.

FLINT LOCKWOOD

Flint Lockwood, you just saved Swallow Falls from giant food storm oblivion! What are you going to do next? How about – have your genius recognized by Chester V, the eccentric mad genius CEO of Live Corp? With a dream job in the high-tech conglomerate, everything’s finally going Flint’s way… but soon, Chester V gives Flint a special assignment. Seems that Flint’s most famous invention (the one that turns water into food – the one that caused that trouble last time) is still active and is now spewing out living food creatures – foodimals! Soon, it’s back to the island of Swallow Falls, with all of his friends in tow. Flint still feels responsible for the havoc that’s resulted from his invention– can he and his friends stop the leftovers before they take over the world?

SAM SPARKS

Flint Lockwood’s edible worldwide meteorological occurrences have catapulted Sam Sparks to TV stardom as weather watchers turned to her for updates during the“greatest weather phenomenon in history.” She is finally being accepted as a serious meteorologist who remains perky in the face of danger. Once Sam declared she “like-likes” Flint and wants him to be happy, there was no keeping her from joining him on the expedition back to Swallow Falls to save civilization from the invasion of gigantic living food creatures. But why doesn’t working together have that ol’ “thunder and lightning” that it once had?

CHESTER V

If you could genetically splice Steve Jobs, Richard Branson and a circus ringmaster into one man, you would get Chester V, the eccentric genius behind the global company Live Corp and all of the cool stuff they created ‘for the betterment of mankind.’ Part guru, part showman and part inventor, Chester is one super-smart dude—in fact, he may be the super-smartest. For instance, he’s the only one he needs to invite to his own brainstorming sessions. So with all that brain matter, why does he need our heroic Flint Lockwood to clean up the leftover problems in Swallow Falls?

STEVE THE MONKEY

Still a primate of few words, Steve has everything any guy would wish for in a best friend—except trusted colleague and a shining example of Flint’s best attempts at inventing—after all, Flint wouldn’t maybe a bigger vocabulary. Steve is still both a even get those single words from his buddy were it not for the Monkey Thought Translator. One never knows when the monkey’s particular point of view (or his size, or his climbing, or his lab skills) will come in handy.

TIM LOCKWOOD
Flint’s proud father, Tim, is happiest when he is on his boat, floating around in search of his water-dwelling dinner. Tim still doesn’t get all of the fancy technology stuff that is such a big part of his son’s life. And Flint doesn’t ever need to hear another fishing metaphor ever again. So when the gang heads back to Swallow Falls to help save the world, Flint encourages his 49 year old dad to stay home. Still, Tim is happy to leave his fishing boat and come along for the journey, even if Flint doesn’t listen to his old dad

BARB
Apparently one can create a smart and verbally gifted assistant by implanting a human brain inside the brain inside of an oranguta—think turducken. And if the creator is as smart as Chester V, the resulting hybrid would be called Barb. Evolved, intelligent, sassy, and wearing lipstick, Barb wants nothing more than the everlasting approval of Chester V. To get it, she will do anything, even if that includes stooping to underhanded tactics while following Chester’s orders.

BRENT
You remember “Baby” Brent on the label of Swallow Falls’ canned sardines? He has continued his career in the culinary world promoting a chain of restaurants, Chick-NSushi, spinning a foam board arrow while wearing a rubber chicken suit. He’ll put that promising career on hold when Flint and his friends ask him to help save the world by stopping the leftover takeover.

EARL DEVEREAUX
Former police officer Earl Devereaux is also pursuing an alternative job path in food services, as a barista serving up fancy-pants coffee drinks at an upscale coffee house So, when Flint and Sam come around and ask him to come aboard their voyage to adventure, he quickly transforms from barista to a polista, complete with uniform and beard, and join the group by performing a back flip out of the door.

MANNY
It’s little surprise that Sam’s former cameraman (and master of many talents) Manny has landed on his feet in San Franjose, California—and, at the moment that Flint, Sam and a car full of their friends arrive, he is trying to deliver a baby calf and get it to stand on its own four hooves. But hey, that will just have to wait – Manny grabs his camera, bids ‘adios!’ to his vet techs, and heads for the food-infested island of Swallow Falls.
