Release dates: September 12, 2009 (Mann Village Theatre); September 18, 2009 (United States)
Plot: Aspiring inventor Flint Lockwood lives with his widowed father Tim and his pet monkey Steve in Swallow Falls, an island in the Atlantic Ocean. The island’s economy is entirely based on sardine sales, which have plummeted due to the rest of the world deciding the fish are “super-gross”, leaving Swallow Falls residents to eat all the sardines themselves.
Flint invents the “Flint Lockwood Diatonic Super Mutating Dynamic Food Replicator” (FLDSMDFR), a device that transforms water into food, in an effort to expand the town’s diet. He knocks out his house’s power when he attempts to plug in the new device, annoying Tim, who wishes Flint would give up inventing and take over the family tackle and bait business. Flint attempts to connect the FLDSMDFR to a local substation, but the device accidentally overloads, rocketing across town and into the sky. In the process, it destroys a new sardine-themed amusement park called Sardine Land meant to revitalize the island’s economy, upsetting Mayor Shelbourne and the other townsfolk and disappointing Tim. Afterwards, a dejected Flint meets Samantha “Sam” Sparks, a New York City-based meteorologist whose big break was thwarted by the accident. As they talk together, cheeseburgers suddenly begin raining from the sky; Flint realizes the FLDSMDFR is functioning successfully in the stratosphere, using the condensation from clouds to create food-based weather systems.
The town rejoices in their new food choices, and Swallow Falls is renamed Chewandswallow and becomes a food tourism destination, making Flint a local celebrity. Flint and Sam begin to fall in love after they discover they were both bullied for their appearance and love of science. However, Flint notices the food has begun to “over-mutate”, becoming both larger and less molecularly stable. He attempts to warn the now morbidly obese Shelbourne that the FLDSMDFR is malfunctioning, but Shelbourne is only interested in more food and more tourism. After a tornado made up of spaghetti and meatballs threatens the town, Flint attempts to turn the FLDSMDFR off. Shelbourne accidentally destroys Flint’s control panel in an attempt to stop Flint, causing the FLDSMDFR to go rogue and create a massive “food storm” across the planet.
Flint places a kill code in a USB flash drive and builds a flying car to reach and destroy the FLDSMDFR. Accompanied by Sam, her cameraman Manny, Steve, and the town’s ex-mascot “Baby” Brent McHale, they approach the FLDSMDFR and discover it has surrounded itself with a giant meatball-like shell for protection. As they reach the interior, they lose the flash drive with the kill code and are attacked by giant animated roast chickens. Brent is swallowed by one, but subdues it and wears it as armor to fight off the others. Flint and Sam attempt to climb down to the center of the meatball, but some peanut brittle triggers Sam’s peanut allergies. Sam refuses to leave Flint, and they profess their love for one another. To save Sam, Flint cuts the rope and falls to the FLDSMDFR, while Brent takes Sam back for medical attention.
Back in Swallow Falls, the townsfolk evacuate on rafts made of giant food, while Tim stays behind to upload a kill code to Flint’s phone. Flint uses the code on the machine, which reveals it has developed a mind of its own. Realizing that Tim accidentally sent the wrong file, Flint uses a Spray-on Shoe formula to jam the device, causing it and the giant meatball to detonate as he falls back to Earth. The townsfolk cheer on Flint as a hero, and Tim at last shows appreciation for his son, while Sam and Flint share a kiss. Shelbourne is shown floating in the ocean, claiming “this was not well thought out”.

Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs (2009) | Transcript
[music]
FLINT: Have you ever felt like you were a little bit different?
Like you had something unique to offer the world, if you could just get people to see it.
Then you know exactly how it felt to be me.
TEACHER: Go ahead, Flint.
[FLINT CLEARS THROAT]
What is the number one problem facing our community today?
Untied shoelaces.
[ALL CHATTERING]
Which is why I’ve invented a lace-less alternative foot covering.
Spray-On Shoes.
Voil .
GIRL: They’re so nifty.
How you gonna get them off, nerd?
[STUDENTS LAUGHING]
[GRUNTING]
What a freak. He wants to be smart, but that’s lame.
[BELL RINGS]
Oh.
[CRYING]
FLINT: I wanted to run away that day.
But you can’t run away from your own feet.
[GRUNTING]
Ah!
Nah. Not every sardine is meant to swim, son.
I don’t understand fishing metaphors.
DAD: What did I say?
MOM: Don’t worry.
[FLINT SOBBING]
Honey, I think your shoes are wonderful.
Everyone just thinks I’m a weirdo.
So?
People probably thought that these guys were weirdoes too.
But that never stopped them.
I was saving this for your birthday, but here.
A professional-grade lab coat.
Just like the real guys wear.
[CHUCKLES]
It fits perfect.
The world needs your originality, Flint.
You just have to grow into it.
And I know that you’re gonna do big things someday.
[music]
From that moment on…
FLINT: I was determined to invent something great.
Remote Control Television.
TV ANNOUNCER: And, the pitch is in.
FLINT: Eventually.
BOY: Ow, ow, ow.
Hair Un-Balder.
[BOTH SCREAM]
FLINT: Flying Car.
Monkey Thought Translator.
VOICE: Hungry. Hungry. Hungry.
How wise.
No, Steve. No, no, no, no, no!
No, please! Leave it…
TIM: Ah!
Ratbirds.
Hey, what’s going on, little guy?
Ah!
EARL: Flint Lockwood.
FLINT: My dream was to help my hometown, a tiny island hidden under the “A ” in “Atlantic” called Swallow Falls.
We were famous for sardines, until the day the Baby Brent Sardine Cannery closed for good.
Right after everyone in the world realized that sardines are super gross.
Soon, all of us were stuck eating the sardines that no one else wanted.
Poached, fried, boiled, dried, candied and juiced.
Ugh.
Life became gray and flavorless.
But when all seemed lost, I stared at defeat, and found hope.
[music]
[music]
[music]
My name is Flint Lockwood.
And I was about to invent a machine that turns water into food.
Steve, my best friend and trusted colleague.
[OVER SPEAKER]
Steve.
Can I count on your help?
Can.
I knew I could.
Button, on.
Memory, activate.
Blueprints, awesome.
Begin nano-mutation.
Radiation matrix, secure.
Computer, boot.
Coolness enhancement, complete.
Engage coffee break.
[ELEVATOR MUSIC PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS] Networking power grid.
Beginning conversion of water into food.
Hydrating protein matrix.
Calibrating flavor panel.
Priming chow plopper.
Uploading cool machine voice.
COMPUTER: Cheeseburger.
Everyone is going to love this.
[MACHINE WHIRRING]
FLINT: Whoo-hoo-hoo!
Ah!
Flint!
FLINT: Sorry, Dad.
Steve, keep working.
[FLINT HUMMING ACTION MOVIE THEME]
Scanning hand.
Twaap!
[HUMMING]
[IMITATES BEEPING NOISES]
Whoosh!
[FLINT HUMMING]
That’s a really weird dude.
[ALL LAUGHING]
[HUMMING]
Reenergizing tower unit.
[MAKES MECHANICAL SOUNDS]
[SCREAMS]
Jeez. See you, Dad.
[IMITATES DOOR SLIDING SOUND]
Flint. Um…
Um…
Don’t you think it’s time to give up this inventing thing, get a real job?
No, why?
Well, all your technology stuff, it just ends in disaster.
The rat-birds, yes, they escaped and bred at a surprising rate.
But I took care of that problem and disposed of them.
[BILLY SCREAMS]
CAL: Billy, just play dead.
Flint, you don’t keep throwing your net where there aren’t any fish.
What?
I want you to work fulltime at the tackle shop.
The tackle shop? Oh, Dad, no.
Tackle is a good career.
Please, I’m so close with this one.
I just have to hook it up to the power station and give it power and it’ll work.
And… And then you could sell food in the shop, and then everyone won’t have to eat sardines anymore.
It is going to be so awesome.
I’m sorry, son.
STEVE: Ouch.
No more inventing.
Dad, I know I can do this.
And Mom did too.
[SIGHS]
FLINT: It had been almost 10 years since Mom died, and Dad still didn’t understand me like she did.
Come on. Let’s open the shop.
Tim and Son Sardine Bait and Tackle.
You feeling it?
Mmhm.
KIDS [ON TV]:
Look out, Baby Brent!
Uh-oh.
MALE ANNOUNCER [ON TV]:
Baby Brent Sardines.
FEMALE ANNOUNCER: Handpacked in Swallow Falls.
As your mayor, I know it’s time to put our sardine-canning past behind us and look to the future.
Sardine tourism!
That’s why, without consulting anyone, I spent the entire town budget on the thing that is under this tarp, which I will be unveiling today
[VOICE ECHOING]
at noon.
Featuring a live appearance by Baby Brent himself.
BRENT: What is up, everybody?
Hey.
Hey, it’s Baby Brent.
What you doing? Stacking cans with me on them as a baby?
Uh-oh. Hahaha.
[LAUGHING]
Anyways, who wants to watch me cut the ribbon at the mayor’s unveiling thing?
I’ll be using these bad boys to help save the town.
Booyow! Haha.
All right, you guys.
Sardines, yeah.
Swallow Falls forever!
Oh. What a delight.
Listen, you, uh… Maybe you wanna go to that unveiling?
You know, Dad, why don’t you go ahead. I’ll, uh…
I’ll hold down the fort here.
Really? You sure you can handle it?
Heh-heh-heh. Yeah, Dad, I’m pretty sure I’ll be fine.
Ha. All right, then.
I’ll be back in half an hour, skipper.
Okay. Bye.
[HUMMING]
This hellhole is too small for me, Brent.
I wanna be big.
I want people to look at me and say, “That is one big mayor. ” And that’s why this has to work.
It has to work.
Otherwise, I’m just a tiny mayor of a tiny town, full of tiny sardine-sucking knuckle-scrapers.
But not me, right?
Oh, not you, Brent. No. You’ve always been like a son to me.
[CLEARS THROAT]
[APPLAUSE]
Hehey, everybody.
Under this tarp is the greatest tourist attraction ever built by humans.
We just need 17,000 more gigajoules.
MAYOR: An attraction so…
Go, go, go.
[music]
What are you doing, Flint Lockwood?
Wha…! Oh!
Just, uh, holding my hands, uh, behind my back respectfully, sir.
You know what you are, Flint Lockwood?
No.
A shenaniganizer.
A tomfool.
You see my beautiful angel son Cal?
What’s up?
I love him so much.
This is my only son.
I want him to have a bright future.
A future in which you don’t ruin our town’s day with one of your crazy science doodly-bopper thingies.
Well, that’s all behind me…
You see this contact lens, Flint Lockwood?
Mmhm.
This contact lens represent you.
All right.
And my eye represents my eye.
Okay.
I got my eye on you.
Oh, my gosh, a jaywalker.
Hey.
And I’ve arranged for live coverage from a major network and their most experienced professional reporter.
WOMAN: Oh, just send the intern.
She’s cute and she’s super perky.
Well, those are the only things we look for in a TV weatherperson.
Intern. How would you like to do a weather report from a rinkydink island in the middle of the ocean as a favor to my cousin?
Really?
Can you believe it, Manny?
Temporary professional meteorologist.
Whoo!
Okay, Manny, what about this?
Welcome, America, I’m Sam Sparks.
Hello, America, Sam Sparks here.
America, hi.
I didn’t see you there.
It’s me, Sam Sparks.
On my way across the ocean.
MAYOR: Now, when she gets here, I wanna see a lot of smiling faces.
Act like, “Hey, whoa. ” FLINT:
This is a great idea.
MALE ANNOUNCER [ON TV]: Weather News Network.
Weather news happens, or not.
Now we’re over to Swallow Falls, where our intern is on her first day on the job.
Or should I say, first gray on the job.
Looks pretty cloudy there, intern.
Hello, Sam Sparks, I’m America.
It’s Swallow Falls degrees and, uh…
Well, let’s just go to the mayor.
Thank you and welcome, national television audience.
You are about to witness an historic event, undoubtedly…
[SCREAMING]
And now, here to cut the ceremonial ribbon Swallow Falls’ favorite son, Baby Brent!
He’s still got it, folks.
Yeah.
[ALL CHEER]
I’m the best person in the whole town.
Uh-oh.
[music]
Oh! Food synthesis, go.
[LAUGHS]
My chest hairs are tingling.
Something’s wrong.
[GRUNTS]
Well, here it is. The attraction the whole world has been waiting for: Sardine Land.
[CROWD CHEERING]
With rides and exhibits.
And featuring Shamo, the world’s largest sardine and his flaming hoop of glory.
Those of you in the splash zone, look out.
MAN: Yeah!
[YELLS THEN GASPS]
MACHINE: Cheeseburger.
EARL: Flint Lockwood.
Just a second.
I’m in the middle of a…
Ah! Ah!
[SCREAMING]
Well, looks like things in Swallow Falls are sardine to get better. For…
[MUMBLING]
What-just happened to me?
Ah! Sorry.
[FLINT SCREAMING]
[SCREAMING]
Oh!
No.
Ah! You’re under arrest, Flint Lockwood.
Thank goodness you only caused minimal damage to Sardine Land.
[ALL GASP]
[ALL SCREAMING]
Aw, come on.
[PEOPLE SCREAMING]
BRENT: I really shouldn’t be running with these.
STEVE: Jump, jump, jump, run, run, jump, jump, run.
Yippee!
[SPEAKS IN SPANISH]
[MUFFLED SHOUTING]
MAN: It’s a good thing no one got hurt!
EARL: Flint Lockwood!
WOMAN: I didn’t get hurt, but that does not mean that I’m not still mad at you.
[INDISTINCT SHOUTING]
[music]
[GLASS CRACKING]
[CROWD GASPS]
[music]
[SIGHS]
[FOOTSTEPS]
[GRUNTS]
[SIGHS]
FLINT: Ah!
Oh, my gosh. I am so sorry.
Are you okay?
I didn’t get a chance to…
It’s okay, it’s just pain.
Sorry, I’m not myself today.
My whole career was ruined by some crazy jerk riding a homemade rocket.
Wait a minute.
What is going on with your feet?
Spray-On Shoes.
They, uh, don’t come off.
Cool.
Ah!
This could solve the untied shoes epidemic.
What are they made of, some kind of elastic biopolymer adhesive?
Yeah.
Exactly.
I mean… Heh-heh-heh.
Wow, they’re shiny. I’m Sam.
Flint.
Steve.
Is that a Monkey Thought Translator?
Steve.
SAM: Hah!
Incredible.
Did you make all of this stuff?
You hit me with a rocket.
You kicked me in the face.
I said I was sorry. Oh!
Do you know how hard it is to break into the weather game?
I spent my entire life building up to that moment.
You get one shot at the show.
SAM: And if you don’t make it, it’s back to cleaning the barometers.
Cheese?
[SNARLS]
Oh!
[RATBIRD SQUAWKS]
But that could only mean…
[GASPS]
[GASPS]
[GASPS]
[GASPS]
[GASPS]
[ALL GASP]
[GASPS]
[SQUAWKS]
[GASPING]
STEVE: Excited. Excited.
[LAUGHS]
My machine works.
It really works! Hahaha.
Your machine?
Is that what that rocket was?
Uh… Do you like it?
I love it!
[MUMBLING] This is just amazing. Look at this.
This is the greatest weather phenomenon in history.
Hey, aren’t you a weathergirl?
[GASPS]
SAM: Manny, get your camera.
KIDS: Whoa.
This just in: Our humiliated weather intern is apparently back for more.
Thanks, Patrick. Okay, everybody, you are not gonna believe this one, but I am standing in the middle of a burger rain.
You may have seen a meteor shower but you’ve never seen a shower meatier than this.
For a town stuck eating sardines, this is totally manna from heaven.
JOE: This tastes significantly better than sardines.
[CROWD CLAPPING AND CHATTERING] Mmmmmm.
This is going to be big.
SAM [ON TV]: This food weather was created intentionally by meekish backyard tinkerer Flint Lockwood.
ALL: Huh?
Flint Lockwood?
Hi. Ah!
You’re under arrest for ruining Sardine Land.
SAM: Flint, those burgers were awesome.
The producer called and he was like, “Everybody loves that food weather. ” Food weather.
What?
This could be even bigger than Sardine Land.
Can you make it rain food again?
EARL: No…
I don’t know if I…
You’re gonna do it again?
You gotta be kidding.
Please, please, please.
Yes.
No.
Dad, just give me one more chance.
We both know this was an accident.
I know.
Cheeseburgers from the sky that’s not natural.
My invention could save the whole town.
You will be so proud of me, Dad.
Plus,
[WHISPERS]
there’s a girl here.
[SIGHS]
Can you look me in the eye and tell me you’ve got this under control and it’s not gonna end up in a disaster?
[WEAKLY]
Yes.
Mm.
[FLINT WHIMPERING]
[WHIMPERING]
I’ve got this under control and it’s not gonna end in disaster. Oh.
[SIGHS THEN COUGHS]
All right.
Thanks, Dad.
Oh, sure.
Okay. So, Sam, this is where the magic happens.
Lick. Lick. Lick.
[music]
Lick. Lick. Lick.
COMPUTER: Welcome, Flint.
Wow. You seriously spend a lot of time alone.
What? Hahaha.
So here’s how it works.
Water goes in the top, and food comes out the bottom.
When you shot it into the stratosphere, you figured it would induce a molecular phase change of the vapor from the cumulonimbus layer?
That’s actually a really smart observation.
I mean…
[GIGGLES]
The clouds probably have water in them, which, uh, I guess, is why you shot it up there in the first place.
Right, right. That’s why I… I did that.
On purpose.
Right. Yeah.
Right.
Of course.
[BOTH CHUCKLE NERVOUSLY]
Okay.
The machine uses a principle of hydrogenetic mutation.
Water molecules are bombarded with microwave radiation, which mutates their genetic recipe into any kind of food you want.
So…
Pizza?
Yes.
Mashed potatoes?
Yes.
Peas?
Yes, that’s also a food.
Steak? Apples?
Yes. Mmhm.
Apple sauce? BLT?
Yes.
I’m pretty sure I said any kind of food.
Chicken wings?
Okay. But just think about what you’re saying and if it’s a food, then yes.
Baloney.
Baloney. That is a food.
How about Jell-O?
Do you like Jell-O?
I love Jell-O.
I love Jell-O too.
Oh, and peanut butter, right?
Oh, no, no, no, I am severely allergic to peanuts.
Hey, me too.
So what’s it called?
Peanut allergy.
No, the machine.
Of course.
It’s called the Flint Lockwood Diatonic Super-Mutating Dynamic Food Replicator.
Or, for short: The FLDSMDFR.
Fliminadifiser?
FLDSMDFR.
Fliminubahdibferer?
Fli.
Suh.
Fdiferf.
Oh. Manny, make sure you get this.
He’s gonna make the food now.
Uh…
Now?
Well, um, the thing is, I can’t wait to show you this hilarious Internet video.
[MUSIC PLAYS ON MONITOR]
SAM: What?
CAT [ON MONITOR]: Fight the power!
SAM: What is this?
[SAM LAUGHS]
It’s so cute.
FLINT: Pushing. Folding. Connecting.
Taping. Turning.
Painting. Switching.
Staring.
Motivating.
Placing button.
I can’t believe I’ve been watching this for three hours.
I know. Haha.
FLINT: It’s working.
What do you guys want for breakfast?
Gummi Bears.
Whoa, Steve, no.
We both know how you get around Gummi Bears.
How about eggs.
And toast.
Orange juice.
And BOTH: Bacon.
What are you doing?
Nothing.
To the computer.
[TYPING]
SAM: So you’re sure this is safe?
Hehheh. Don’t worry. I have a Dangeometer that lets us know if the food is going to overmutate.
SAM: What happens if the food overmutates?
FLINT: I don’t know.
But that’ll never happen.
All right, this probably won’t explode.
What?
[MACHINE WHIRRING]
MACHINE: Bacon.
Well, those cheeseburgers were only the beginning because a breakfast system is on its way to Swallow Falls.
My forecast?
Sunny side up.
[LESLEY GORE’S “SUNSHINE AND LOLLIPOPS” PLAYING] Yeah.
Yeah.
[SQUAWKING]
[GRUNTING]
Flint, my boy.
Can you do lunch?
All right, here’s the skinny: You keep making it rain the snackadoos, weathergirl provides free advertising, I have taken out a very high-interest loan to convert this Podunk town into a tourist food-topia.
All you have to do is make it rain food three meals a day, every day for the foreseeable future, and in 30 days we hold a grand reopening of the island as a must-see cruise destination.
And everyone, everywhere, is going to love your invention.
Do you think so?
I know so.
[LESLEY GORE’S “SUNSHINE AND LOLLIPOPS” PLAYING]
Now that’s what I call poultry in motion.
Mr. Lockwood, may I please have waffles?
Falafels?
Jellybeans.
Avocado.
Coming right up.
Leftovers?
Not a problem with Flint Lockwood’s latest invention, the Outtasighter, so-named because it catapults uneaten food out of sight, and therefore, out of mind.
Huh?
KIDS: Jellybeans!
Awesome.
BLT.
MAN 1: Doughnuts.
Pie.
Gummi bears.
Fish.
MAN 2: Cr me br l e!
[PEOPLE CLAMORING]
A pizza stuffed inside a turkey, the whole thing deep-fried and dipped in chocolate.
It’s me, the mayor.
Oh. Uh…
You look different. Uh…
Did you get a new haircut?
Yes, I did. Thank you for noticing.
[LESLEY GORE’S “SUNSHINE AND LOLLIPOPS” PLAYING]
[MACHINE TALKING INDISTINCTLY]
I love you, kid.
BOY 1: Thanks, Dad. I love you.
BOY 2: I love spending time with you, Dad.
Hey, Dad, I’m headed back to the lab.
If you wanna come, I could show you how I make the food.
Uh… No, thanks.
That techno-food, it’s… It’s too complicated for an old fisherman.
Got it.
Could still use your help around here, though, you know.
I’m working with the mayor now, Dad.
I mean, the town’s grand reopening is in, like, a week.
Right. Got it.
[BELL JINGLES]
[DOORBELL RINGS]
Flint Lockwood?
FLINT: Yeah?
Uh…
It’s my son Cal’s birthday tomorrow, and I was just wondering if you could make it rain something special.
Well, I’m pretty backed up on requests.
Plus, you’re always mean to me.
It’ll be just one time, for my special angel’s special day.
Uh… I don’t know.
You know, I don’t wanna overwork the machine, so…
Okay. I knew it was a long shot.
I just wanted Cal to see how much his father loves him.
I thought you would understand.
You know how fathers always trying to express their love and appreciation for their sons.
Earl, wait.
[PANTING]
[GASPS]
Whew.
Whew.
Touch. Touch. Touch.
I’ve got an idea.
[SQUAWKS]
[music]
Whoa.
Happy birthday, son.
Dad?
This is your day. Go have fun.
I love you guys. You’re awesome.
EARL: I love you too, son.
CAL: Whoo!
REGINA: Have a good time, baby.
KIDS: Ice cream!
Yeah! Cool.
BOY: Strawberry’s my favorite.
[KIDS LAUGHING]
[KIDS SCREAMING]
CAL: Come on, Dad.
I don’t know, Cal.
This doesn’t look safe!
[SCREAMS]
[BOTH LAUGH]
I love you, son.
I know, Dad.
You tell me every day.
[BOY LAUGHING]
Flint, this is amazing.
And designing the ice cream to accumulate into scoops, I don’t know how you’re gonna top this.
Maybe with hot fudge.
[LAUGHS]
CAL: Hey, Flint.
You wanna be in a snowball fight with us?
Flint, what’s the problem?
I’ve never actually been in a snowball fight.
Really?
I don’t even know the rules.
Is there like a point system or is it to the death?
No… Ah…
You’ve nev…? I mean, look, even Steve is throwing chocolate snowballs.
[GIBBERING]
Oh. Eh.
So like this?
[GRUNTS]
No, harder than that.
[music]
Oh. Snowball!
Snowball, snowball, snowball!
Snowball. Snowball.
Well, something to be said for enthusiasm.
Snowball!
Snowball!
[LAUGHS]
Snowball and snowball.
WOMAN: Kids? What’s going on?
Snowball. Hahaha.
[KIDS LAUGHING]
BOY: Snowball.
GIRL: Snowball. Snowball.
SAM [ON TV]:
I scream, you scream, we all scream for Flint Lockwood’s latest tasty town-wide treat, with flurries of frozen fun on what the mayor declared to be an ice cream snow day.
He’d also like to invite everyone in the world to catch a cruise liner and come on down this Saturday for the grand opening of Chew And Swallow, a town that is truly la mode.
[WOMAN 1 SPEAKS IN FRENCH OVER TV]
[WOMAN 2 SPEAKS IN ARABIC OVER TV]
WOMAN 3 [IN BRITISH ACCENT]: A town that is truly topped with ice cream.
With today’s scoop for the Weather News Network, I’m Sam Sparks.
CAL: Flint, this is the best breakfast ever!
That’s it!
Researching. Roleplaying.
Dialing. Waiting.
[PHONE RINGING]
Sam Sparks.
Hanging up.
Regretting. Repsyching.
Saying what I’m doing.
Flint?
“Hi, Sam, how are you? That’s nice.
I was wondering if you would like to go on a da… ” Activity with me tomorrow.
Um… Okay.
Great, bye. Meet me in the forest.
Nailed it. Gotta go, Steve.
Keep an eye on the lab for me.
[GUAGE CLICKING]
Steve.
ANNOUNCER [OVER TV]: Foster still at the plate.
And nobody out.
SAM: Where are we going?
FLINT: Oh, nowhere. I just thought it’d be nice for the two of us to go on a walk together.
[CHUCKLES]
Like you do as friends. Uh…
Oh, my, what’s that?
Wow.
[music]
Oh. Jell-O’s my favorite.
You never made a request, so I made one for you.
Flint?
Flint?
FLINT: Join me.
Whoa!
[GASPS]
Oh! Oh! Oh!
[GRUNTS]
But, uh… Uh, how did you…?
I made it rain Jell-O in the middle of the night, then I gathered it up with the Outtasighter before anyone woke up and then I brought it here and pressed it into a gigantic custom-carved plastic Tupperware mold I made. No big deal.
[PIANO PLAYING]
Everything’s made of Jell-O.
This piano, those sconces, that ghetto blaster, that Jell-O, that aquarium, that Venus de Milo with your face on it next to a Michelangelo’s David that also has your face.
Come on, Sam, what are you waiting for?
Nothing!
[LAUGHS]
Whoo! Yeah.
[LAUGHING]
SAM: Heehee. Boing, boing, boing, whoo!
Whoo!
[GRUNTS]
[BOTH LAUGH]
Cannonball!
Belly flop.
[MUMBLING]
Why did I do that?
[music]
So JellO.
Right. Right, right.
It’s a solid, it’s a liquid, it’s a viscoelastic polymer made of polypeptide chains, but you eat it.
I mean, it tastes good. Heh-heh.
Why do you do that?
Do what?
Say something super smart and then bail from it.
Can you keep a secret?
No.
But this time, sure, yeah.
Okay. Well, it was a really long time ago, but I, too, was…
[WHISPERS]
a nerd.
Too?
When I was a little girl, I wore a ponytail, I had glasses, and I was totally obsessed with the science of weather.
SAM: Other girls wanted a Barbie.
I wanted a Doppler Weather Radar 2000 Turbo.
But all the kids used to taunt me with this lame song.
It wasn’t even clever.
KIDS [SINGING]: Four-eyes, four-eyes You need glasses to see
[SNICKERING]
Go on.
So I got a new look, gave up the sciencey smart stuff, and I was never made fun of again.
And I still need these glasses, but I never wear them.
I’ll bet you look great with glasses on.
Oh, I’m really not… Oh.
And on they go.
Whoa.
What?
Nothing.
Wait.
It’s a Jell-O scrunchie.
And now, the reveal.
[music]
Wow.
I mean, you were okay before, but now you’re beautiful.
No, I’m not. I can’t go out in public like this.
Well, why not?
I mean, this is the real you, right?
Smart. Bespectacled.
Who wouldn’t wanna see that?
You know, I’ve never met anyone like you, Flint Lockwood.
Me either.
But about you.
[INHALES DEEPLY]
Oh.
Hm.
FLINT’S VOICE [ON PHONE]: Flint, you have a call Flint, you have a call Is your phone ringing?
That’s weird. Someone must’ve changed my ring.
Oh, it’s the mayor.
Do you mind if I take this?
No, no, no.
Go ahead, take it. That’s fine.
I’m sorry. It’s important.
I should be going too.
It’s getting late.
I’m just gonna step outside.
Ah!
[THUMP]
Ah!

[SIGHS]
FLINT: Dad, you came. I have so much to tell you.
Do I look all right?
You look great.
Come on, let’s go. Ah!
[PEOPLE CHATTERING]
FLINT: Dad, I almost kissed a girl.
It’s Baby Brent, you know?
FLINT: It was the coolest thing… Hi.
“Uh-oh. ” I should be on the list.
Hey, Brian.
What? You’re letting that guy in?
That guy’s a nerd.
[music]
FLINT: Hey, how’s it going?
[PEOPLE CHATTERING]
Oh, thank you. Thank you so much.
Thank you.
A toast. To Flint and his delicious steaks.
Oh-ho, thanks. Thank you.
Very nice place.
Oh, wow. Thank you.

Yep. You just hold out your plate.

[CHUCKLES]
[BOTH CHUCKLE]
Okay.
So you know how the grand reopening of the town is tomorrow?
Well, the mayor has asked me to cut the ribbon.
He said my invention saved the town.
Aren’t you proud of me?
Uh…
[PEOPLE LAUGHING]
Well, em, doesn’t this steak look a little big to you?
Yeah, it’s a big steak. I mean, every steak is not exactly the same size.
Did you even hear what I just said?
[UTENSILS CLATTER]
Son, look… Look around.
I’m not sure this is good for…
For people.
Maybe you should think about turning this thing off.
It’s making everybody happy.
Everybody except you.
When are you gonna accept that this is who I am instead of trying to get me to work in some boring tackle shop?
Well, you seem like you know what you’re doing, then.
I guess I’ll just get out of your way.
[GROANS]
FLINT: Get with the times, man.
I mean, there’s no pleasing that guy.
He just wants to take anything good I do and just smoosh it.
Ah!
These are big hot dogs.
Man.
I mean, this isn’t that bad.
Is it, Steve?
Yellow.
Ah. You’re right, Steve.
The Dangeometer is in the yellow.
I don’t know what to do.
MAYOR: I do:
Declare these hot dogs to be delicious!
[SCREAMS]
Oh, no.
Whoa!
How did you get in here?
Tomorrow’s the big day, Flint.
The entire town’s fate is resting on your food weather.
I’m thinking pasta.
Some light apps.
I know you won’t let us down.
Well, Mr. Mayor, I think there’s something you should see.
What?
This is the molecular structure of a hot dog that fell last week.
And this is the molecular structure of a hot dog that fell today.
The machine uses microwave radiation to mutate the genetic recipe of the food.
The more we ask it to make, the more clouds it takes in, the more radiation it emits, the more these molecules could over-mutate.
I think that’s why the food is getting bigger.
Here’s what I heard: “Blah, blah, blah.
Science, science, science, bigger. ” And bigger is better.
Everyone’s gonna love these new portion sizes.
Oh! I know I do.
My dad thinks I should turn it off.
Geniuses like us are never understood by their fathers, Flint.
But what if things go…
Who needs the approval of one family member when you can have it from millions of acquaintances?
Not to mention that little cutlet, Sam Sparks.
And me.
I’ve always felt that you were like a son to me, Flint.
And I’m gonna be so proud of you tomorrow when you cut that ribbon, save the town, and prove to everybody what a great inventor you are.
So here’s the cheese: You can keep it going, get everything you’ve ever wanted, and be the great man I know you can be.
Or you can turn it off, ruin everything, and no one will ever like you.
It’s your choice.
[WHISPERING]
Choice.

CAL: I’ve got jellybeans for teeth.
And when the fun is done, gaze upon the sunset cresting over Mount Leftovers.
From which we’re protected by a presumably indestructible dam.
We’ve got people here today from all around the world, from as far as China to West Virginia.
Also I think there’s some Canadians here.
Flint. You need to look at this.
Why aren’t you on TV? You’re supposed to be broadcasting this.
There’s a problem.
The food’s getting bigger.
I know, it’s great. Bigger portion sizes. Everyone loves it.
I’m not sure we’re doing the right thing here.
What if we’ve bitten off more than we can chew?
For the first time in my life, everybody loves something that I’ve done.
Why can’t you just be happy for me, and go say the weather or something. Jeez.
MAYOR: And without further ado, our town’s hero and my metaphorical son, Flint Lockwood.

My tummy hurts.
Cal!
Yikes. What is that, a scrunchie? I haven’t seen one of those since 1995.

Manny, patch us through.
Go.
Cute report, Nancy.
Hey. Hey. Foureyes.
Can it, Patrick.
We are about to be in the epicenter of a perfect food storm.
It’s going to spread across the globe.
I’ve calculated the Coriolis acceleration of the storm system.
First, it’ll hit New York, then Paris, then the Jiayuguan Pass in eastern China.
And in four hours the entire northern hemisphere will be one big potluck.

Oh, son. Listen, when your boat is, when it’s listing, and if it’s not running, you know… Uh…
Don’t worry, Dad, I get it.
Mom was wrong about me.
I’m not an inventor.
I should’ve just quit when you said.
Well, when it rains, you put on a coat.

This mess we’re in is all our faults.
Me, I didn’t even protect my own son.
Look, I’m as mad at Flint as you are.
In fact, when he gets out of that car, I’m gonna slap him in the face.
I know Flint Lockwood made the food, but it was made-to-order.
And now it’s time for all of us to pay the bill.

It’s okay.
Let’s go build some boats.

Well, I just thought that we…
No.

You’re a pilot too?

Manny, you and Steve stay on the plane. Don’t spray that.
Once my dad emails me the kill code, we’ll destroy the machine and rendezvous here at the western blowhole in…

About twenty minutes.
Just before then.
