Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs
YEAR: 2009
DIRECTOR: PHIL LORD, CHRIS MILLER
FILMED IN 3D: YES
This list is heavy in animation simply because CG animated films
have found it easy, and been quick, to convert to 3D for their
theatrical releases, and because so many of them have done it so darn
well. This was a comparatively little-seen effort, since hardly anyone
in the UK knows the book on which it's based (a classic in the US), but
it's so packed with tiny quick gags, charming characters and, well,
giant food falling from the sky that you'd have to be Ebeneezer Scrooge
(pre-ghosts) not to fall in love with it.
Best Bit: It's a toss-up between the
initial rain of cheeseburgers, and the later fight through a floating
food mountain to save the town from disaster.
