Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs - Early Development Scenes Flint Lockwood is an eccentric young scientist whose awkward demeanor and half-baked inventions - ratbirds, spray-on shoes, and talking monkeys - have made him an outsider in his hometown of Swallow Falls. All that is about to change with his latest contraption: the Flint Lockwood Diatonic Super Nano Dynamic Food Replicator (or FLDSNDFR for short), a miraculous machine designed to make sure nobody ever goes hungry again. But when his creation leaves the whole world in a pickle, the forecast goes from sunny to CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF MEATBALLS. Based on the best-selling book by Judi and Ron Barrett, CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF MEATBALLS is directed by Phil Lord and Chris Miller (co-executive producers, "How I Met Your Mother"); produced by Pam Marsden ("Dinosaur"). The CG animation was created by Sony Pictures Imageworks.
