Originally, instead of Flint going to the out-of-control FLDSMDFR, the mayor shot it out of the sky, and it fell into the ocean, creating a huge monster made entirely out of food. This was cut due to the resulting monster being too similar to one in another film that had just been released in early 2009. Smaller food monsters would eventually appear in the sequel.

@@JackalopeBunny It's more a Grey area until the sequal. At this point it IS food and while it is the same in chemical makeup as roast chicken, it didn't exist as a typical living chicken first. It WAS intentionally made to be a roast chicken by the device. It is sentient in that it is attacking the heros but even at this point it is recognized almost like drones to a hive mind in protection if the food making device. We don't see Steve as a monster for biting the heads off of the living gummy bears because they are just food extentions of the device protecting itself from being shut off. The sequal movie however retcons this. In fact..it's part of the moral lesson and the prior actions are not ignored to make the new adventure work happier..Flynn is convinced to go to the island because he is under the false impression the sentient food will attack the world like it attacked him and his friends. He FULLY sees the food this way for a while and ACTIVELY detaches himself so he doesn't have to feel bad he is going to kill them all. It takes a lot from Sam and his other friends to admit the good creatures are actually amazing and intelligent individual beings. It's especially ironic as they see him as their God in that one instead of attacking him! It makes for a really cute story and the ending is especially dark and amazing when it comes to the villain: totally not Steve Jobs..but..you also realize despite having to do it to save the world..yeah..yhe chicken and gummy bears and things they had to kill to do so in the first movie..WERE possibly intelligent living beings rather than just puppets..I suppose since they were more just giant versions of real food over the amalgous creaters we would see in the sequal, you could argue they were a mid evolutionary step and hadn't achieved true independent sentience yet. It is still dark and kind of funny though. From the machine and foods perspective, the heros were the villains of the first movie..the sequal even starts right at the end of the first one so you know everything is continuously cannon. It's messed up but I love the studios for not just pretending things were different or ignoring them to lazily make the plot work. It's a rare occurrence of this and I feel it makes Flynns arc in the second one all that stronger. It's clear he sae the device and all it created as a piece of himself..the mistakes he made in the past and the part of him he desperately wanted to move on from. You can kind of forgive him for the way he treats the food creatures because he sees them as the same negative part of himself that nearly took everyone he loved. The villain is offering the future self he feels wants to be and the food creatures are the past he feels stuck in. It's only when he can forgive his mistakes and see the positive that came from them that he didn't orgionlaly intend, that he can do the right thing. He didn't directly make the food creatures but they are a result of his creation. They weren't what he planned but they still were amazing and deserving of life. A few potentionally sentient roast chickens had to die in the process but he kind of WAS their God and it paved the way for a whole mess of confirmedly sentient and very intellegent beings.

What made me laugh is when the television store had its window busted in, a man steals a TV. Then the walking TV shatters the window and steals a man from inside the store. 😂

The whole point of the glasses and scrunchie scene was more than just a “funny twist”, it was there to show that Flint, due to similar bullying when he was a child, is the first person to empathise and accept Sam, not just for her looks, but also encouraging her self-esteem, passion for science, and loved her for who she is. And when I was a kid, I always despised the “You’re actually really beautiful, just take off those lame glasses, be hot enough, and men will fall for you”, but here, that scene subverting the cliche was uplifting and surprisingly poignant. On the same note, Brent didn’t just come along at the end for the sake of it, he chose to because it’s shown throughout the movie that he felt insecure over losing his job and popularity, causing him to lose his sense of self-worth, until Earl’s speech calling out the town for being so greedy and selfish, humbling Brent, who decides to find his own identity, and help out, ultimately becoming Chicken Brent, turning a 1-dimensional bully into a selfless, kind courageous hero.

This movie is amazing. Hilarious and heartwarming with some of the most quotable lines in animation.

By that point the movie makes it pretty clear they aren’t mutated good anymore, the animals of the island are actual animals with salience at times of a close level to humans. And the movie does make the point that all the problems with theanimals started from the villain deciding to invade the island, since if you think about it a bit they literally wouldn’t be capable of expanding outside its surroundings (since they don’t reproduce by themselves, they need the machine for it) and as far as we can tell their actions to humans outside the island boiled down to scaring the crap out of sailors

Bjork!

There is a clever connection between the opening narration and the final battle. In the opening narration flint said this “when everything seemed lost, I looked at defeat and found hope” at the end of that sentence they show a brief shot of him looking at the camera with a surprised face. Then during the final battle between flint and the fldsmdfr they repeat the exact same shot, and it is exactly during the moment when Flint runs out of ideas, but then he looks at his spray on shoes, the thing that made him look bad in school, and he find’s another idea with the spray on shoes to defeat the machine, that was exactly the moment when they repeat the shot. It makes sense when you really think about it. Flint was running out of ideas to turn the machine off and the world was getting destroyed (everything seemed lost) but then he looked at his spray on shoes (he looked at defeat) and then he saw the spray on shoes as another chance to turn the machine off and save the world (he found hope).

I do enjoy Mr. T's character design having the complete opposite hairstyle as the actual Mr. T. Very clever detail

That part with the dad with the monkey translator was pretty touching now that I think about it.

This is actually a pretty decent take on the story book classic. I know they changed some stuff, like in the book the food weather was just something that happened instead of being an invention but its works here. I like the characters (the policeman played by Mr. T being a major highlight, he just gives 100 percent to his role.) I also like Sam and Flint relationship and as well as the relationship Flint has with his dad, its clear they love each other but have a hard time connecting. Now I guess it does have some…silly moments, but that comes with the territory of its being a kid’s film and I cant really think of too many scenes that are there to appeal to just them. It also nice there no dance part ending, no fart jokes, and I’m pretty sure no liar revealed. I also really like the near the end the cop saves flint from the mob by saying that EVERONE shares blame for what happened. It’s a good movie, probably not a classic by any means but one that could easily be viewed by kids.

I love all the little details that this film has. In the beginning Flint narrates and says "...when all seemed lost, I stared at defeat (da/the feet) and found hope." In the end he literally stares at his feet and finds the solution to his problem. Or like how Flint sees the mayor come into his lab and asks (considering his size) how he even came into the lab. Literally questioning the cartoon logic. Or how his lab is cheaply made and he makes sci-fi noises himself, and how his passcode to his elevator is just him pressing random buttons of a toy he probably taped on his wall. This movie is so great because of the amount of care and thought that went into it.

You know for as crazy as this premise for this movie is, i think it pulls it off really well especially because it's a kid film.

Honestly the animation in this film has no right being this good and yet it is, which makes me love it even more because of it

People can say whatever they want about this movie, I f*cking love it. I used to love the sequel as a kid, but I think I've watched it so many goddamn times that I might've gotten sick of it, which kinda sucks because even though I'm older, when I watch it, my brain just rejects it like it's my favourite food gone moldy. I suppose I just ruined it for myself, but oh well.

My favourite scene in the movie is for some reason: the Dad's face when he is told to email. Because you see his eyes!

I remember watching this movie a lot in 2012 and 2013 because Cartoon Network always played it!

I remember seeing this movie as a kid. I used to think that the Spaghetti tornado scene was the scariest shit I've ever seen as a kid 😂

It was always the food avalanche/the giant bagel that terrified me.

You know for a film about falling food i was expecting so much tear jerking moments, but man i was wrong with how many there are

Still I giggle at the “there’s a leak/Leek” in the boat line lol 😂

I think this film was made because someone really wanted to see Bruce Campbell fight a giant Ice Cream monster

Critics can be a lot to swallow, but the Nostalgia Critic always makes me hungry for more with his content.

I was a little late to this movie (but not twelve years late) but fell in love with it almost immediately. Only later did I realize it was my introduction to the genius of Lord and Miller. I especially love the little touches, like the guy with the trucker hat who is inexplicably in every scene, or when Sam says "that tornado was just an amuse-bouche compared to what's coming next" and someone in the crowd whispers, "what's an amuse-bouche?"

Thank god some else notice that hat guy

It’s been years, I’ve found nostalgia critic again and it feels like a rush of nostalgia.

You know i could just look at the wonderful Animation and Art Work in this film and not get bored at looking at it for like several hours.

It’s always really wholesome when the Critic reviews a good movie!

I remember seeing this movie for my end of school year breakup, and I loved it! I was so ecstatic when I saw the trailer for the first time earlier that year and couldn't wait for it. It didn't disappoint. It was so good that I actually went back a second time to watch it in 3D, and I have no regrets. That whole scene where Tim attempts to send Flint the kill code with no clue of how a computer works just had me crying tears of laughter. And Mr. T never fails to be cool, even when he's animated. Great review, and I'm looking forward to Commercials next week. 👍

Who knew Pigs would be such good Astronauts

I loved the Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs book. I just loved the raining food parts and it always made me feel hungry.

Same here, there was a time as a kid where we ate nothing but cheap spaghetti This book was an escape for me where I could imagine myself in a world where I could eat whatever I craved because money wasn't an issue

I know this might be a strong opinion to have but i still think this is some of the most beautiful animation we've ever gotten

"I HAVE A MACARONI ON MY HEAD!" that line never fails to make me laugh

Same. That scene is sooo funny!

I sometimes randomly remember the father using the mouse on the screen and I forgot it was from this movie. I forgot how good this movie is considering the crap it was up against around that same time

If there's one thing I remember about this movie, it's how hard my mom laughed at the dad sending the email scene. Still one of her favorites

17:43 I was expecting him to cut to the clip of Sokka saying "Food eats people!"

I may be in a slight minority, but this is one of the few films in the world I truly consider to be a "perfect movie". The humor and pacing just hit so perfectly for me as the story threads expertly weave themselves together into an ever escalating narrative with a glorious climax.

16:58 I JUST noticed that the officer's hair is kinda the opposite of Mr.T's iconic hair. That's pretty clever.

20:44 Yes, that's literally the reason for it. I believe there's an earlier scene where they try to kiss but his nose gets in the way.

I’m gonna be honest, this movie is a candidate for the most underrated animated film ever made. I honestly think it’s a genuine masterpiece

How could you not talk about how Sam saw flint before and after the glasses.

Definitely one of the best animated movies based off of a children's book. It's faithful to the source material, build's on the book's premise, and makes the necessary changes to work as a movie.

Flint's Father literally looks like a Moai.🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿

One of my top ten animated films of all time. It’s so creative and inventive despite the few kid’s film cliches. It also introduced me to Lord and Miller, whose writing style I immediately fell in love with. The insane amount of running gags, callbacks, and background gags elevate this film even more. Phenomenal animation, cast, and writing. Love it.

10:30 I honestly die at the joke where the camera looks over with her eyes and she sees the clear as day (electrically lighted for some reason?!?!) Exit sign, then Flynn says ‘what are you waiting for?’ 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Man who knew Danny DeVito would be so effective with a squirt gun against Wolverine.

This movie is brilliant and vastly underrated, even by you, critic.

This movie isn't a masterpiece, but it's fun enough that I'm proud to own it and it put Lord and Miller on the map. That's good enough for me.

So this is why we never let Elephants drive Firetrucks

Man this remake of Close Encounters of the Third Kind is a lot more wild than i thought it would be

4:12 I literally just realized as I was watching this that them having to eat the sardines was also a reference to the book, specifically to how the weather going bad initially manifested as it only raining bad food that people had no choice but to eat.

Anna Faris in anything is always a instant win.

The Lord and Miller classic

I really liked how they portrayed the machine’s decent into madness (for lack of a better term). It gradually keeps building up the meatball around it, and I honestly found it kinda unsettling how it’s voice glitches and stutters between multiple different voices as if it was being possessed or something. I have no idea how Phil Lord and Chris Miller were able to make a machine that literally turns into a giant meatball and spits out giant food intimidating, but they somehow managed to do it.

To quote the late great Norm MacDonald and something i'm sure Andy Samberg might be thinking about is “I wouldn’t call myself a fan of Steampunk. But I will say, it’s the healthiest way to prepare punk.”

The comedy really holds up for me. I love this film! "A film made by a lot of people" still cracks me up

Honestly i still think this is one of the best animated films of the 21th century so far

If I'm ever on the fence about a movie, a solid ending always wins me over. And this has one hell of an ending.

Man who knew injuring your Spinal Cord would be such a dangerous thing to do

Honestly the one thing i wish we would of gotten is a Mr. T out of nowhere just does a PSA.

One film I would like to see covered I remember seeing a lot on Disney Channel when I was little was Leave it To Beaver from 1997.

The debut of Lord and Miller was the first movie of theirs i watched. And I love it.

Both the book and the film were so great i read the original book when i was just a kid and even then as a teen seeing this film it was really good and very heartwarming to say the least especially with the family dynamic. i love the weird sciencey twist in it that makes it more interesting but the book will always be one of my favorites so i can gladly say why not love them both?
