Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs is a 2009 CGI animated film loosely based on the children's book of the same name.Living on a remote island in the Atlantic Ocean called Swallow Falls with his widowed father Tim and his pet monkey Steve, Flint Lockwood always dreams of "inventing something AWESOME," but his inventions never quite work out the way he wants them to. Even when he grows up, he still prefers to invent more and more things instead of getting a suitable job at his father's sardine bait shop.But with sardines being all the island's residents have available to eat, Flint becomes a hero when he invents a machine that can convert water into any kind of food the user wants! This makes him world-famous thanks to the coverage of junior anchorwoman Sam Sparks, who Flint develops a crush on. But can he keep the machine under control, get his father's approval, and win Sam's heart?The film was produced by Sony Pictures Animation, who also made Open Season and Surf's Up, and was directed by Phil Lord & Chris Miller, the same two guys who created the short-lived animated show Clone High, and would go on to make 21 Jump Street (and its sequel), The LEGO Movie, and fellow SPA film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. Cloudy has had the biggest opening week for Sony Animation until Hotel Transylvania beat that in 2012, and it stayed in 3rd place in the box office after a month in theaters. It was also nominated for a Golden Globe award.A sequel, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2, was released on September 27th, 2013.An animated series, co-produced by Sony, DHX Media, and Corus Entertainment and serving as a prequel to the film, first premiered on Cartoon Network in the United States on February 20, 2017 and YTV in Canada on April 10, 2017. The TV series has its own page here.Now has a character page.

Heroic BSoD After he has a falling out with his dad, drives Sam away and the FLDSMDFR malfunctions due to the mayor's meddling and begins creating devastating food weather, which leads to the Chewandswallow folks ostracizing him once again, Flint throws himself into a trash can with many of his failed inventions, utterly heartbroken. Earlier on, after he and Flint have an argument at a restaurant over whether Flint should turn off the FLDSMDFR, Flint's dad, hurt by his son's anger, quietly returns to his home where he beings to solennly grind sardines into chum.

Nerds Are Sexy: Flint falls head-over-heels for Sam when she starts excitedly babbling about all things science—once even trying to kiss her for it, before getting a hold of himself. Later, when he encourages her to embrace wearing her glasses and tying her hair up, her new nerdy appearance enthralls him even more than her previous one.

Tempting Fate: Far more examples than can readily be listed, with almost every form of this turning up at some stage. Put simply, seconds before anything remotely construed as negative happens, someone will suggest everything is great or that nothing can go wrong. "This is a great idea." Cue Flint causing massive collateral damage with his machine. "Thank goodness you only caused minimum damage to Sardine Land!" Cue the rolling fish bowl of death...

All There in the Manual: The mayor's name (Shelbourne) is only given in the credits, and Brent's last name (McHale) doesn't even get that much. Earl's last name (Devereaux) is only shown on a computer monitor for a few seconds, so you'd be forgiven if you had to look it up later.

Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony: The Mayor has Chewandswallow, now with features like a nacho cheese pool and junk-food mountains for children, turned into a tourist destination for global citizens eager to take part in the food weather. There's a ceremony wherein Flint cuts the ribbon, but right as he does so, the weather finally turns chaotic.

Gone Horribly Right: The FLDSMDFR's ascent to the clouds goes haywire and causes much property damage to Sardineland. But it does make it, and creates the wonder of cheeseburgers raining down on a town condemned to eat nothing but sardines for years. For a good long while, the town lives in bliss as delicious food comes raining from the sky.

Gone Horribly Wrong: The machine is capable of creating delicious foods from nothing but water, but it has its limits. After so long up in the sky, the food begins to mutate out of control. At first it's just a few overly-large food items. By the end, the entire world is being ravished by freak food weather.

comment
Miraculous Malfunction: Flint hooks up his FLDSMDFR to the town's power station to give it enough electricity to create food from water. Instead, the extra power makes the machine take off like a rocket and start orbiting in the lower stratosphere, creating food that comes down in showers using moisture from the clouds. Later, being overworked makes the machine start overmutating the food and it eventually gains sentience.

Hopeless with Tech: Flint needs Tim to send a code to his phone from the computer in his lab—easier said than done, because Tim has zero clue how to use a computer. He takes Flint's instruction to move the mouse across the screen to mean literally, physically shoving the handheld mouse into the monitor. Thankfully, he manages to send something to Flint's phone just when it seems the food weather has overwhelmed him. Not-so-thankfully, it turns out it was just the cat video. He's really, really helpless with tech.

Homemade Inventions: Flint's inventions are functional some of the time, but they are all clearly a conglomeration of household accessories, with the exception of the DNA-spliced rat-birds. His lab is also functional, but looks like an 80's-style futuristic computer made of flat cardboard in his own backyard, which he enters and exits through a porta-potty.

Chekhov's Gag: Another example is the "Remote Controlled TV" Flint invented as a kid. In the opening, it kicks open the door and runs away. Later, during the giant food storm, a cherry smashes the window of a TV store and someone takes the opportunity to loot it. The RCTV then appears, smashes another window and steals the store clerk.

Adaptation Expansion: The book was a story about a grandpa telling a tall tale about an island that had significantly different weather where it rained food. The movie is about a scientist who invents a machine that turns water into food, and it affects the weather across the world.

Circling Monologue: Done very amusingly when the mayor, so obese as to need a cart, wheels around Flint and magically alternates whispering into his right, then left (then left again) ears. And then, slowly rises up from below(!). Justified by the fact that he's Bruce Frickin' Campbell. He'll do whatever he wants, even in a cartoon.

She Cleans Up Nicely: Inverted on Sam. Typically Sam's makeover would consist of ditching the glasses and letting her hair down, but in this film, it's the reverse. Nevertheless, Flint is more blown away by her traditionally nerdy appearance.

Top-Heavy Guy: By virtue of the art style, this shows up in several characters. Officer Devereaux has a manly, triangle-shaped build, while Tim Lockwood and "Baby" Brent are of the "fat with short legs" variety.

Hurricane of Puns: The movie is packed with food puns, mostly by Sam Sparks in her weather reports: "Looks like things are sardine to look better!" "Today's forecast: sunny...side up!" The mayor also tries to do this in his and Flint's fight in the lab, which Flint turns down.

Break the Haughty: Brent starts off as the rich, girl-on-each-arm darling of Swallow Falls, as he served as the mascot for Baby Brent Sardines, the town's main source of income. He's an arrogant manchild who has not matured a bit since his childhood. Once good, not-sardine food starts raining from the sky, though, he's outcast and ignored. This leads to him joining the heroes in the climax, though, as he's been humbled by the experience.

Nobody Can Die: You'd think that food raining down at terminal velocity would hurt someone even before it got worse, but despite spaghetti tornadoes and avalanching leftovers, the only serious injury in the entire movie is Cal, Earl's son, going into a "food coma" from eating too much candy. (He's revived by waving celery under his nose a la smelling salts, thanks to Manny.)

Water does not have a genetic code and thus can't mutate. Besides, most food is mostly made from sugars, and food made from water would have no nutritional value. Unless he's mutating the microbes IN the water, which is gross.

Bungling Inventor: Flint, as shown in a montage in the beginning. He is a very smart inventor, but his inventions often go very wrong. His Spray-On Shoes cannot be taken off, his walking TV grows sentient enough to hackle citizens, and Ratbirds basically become an invasive species. Even when he successfully gets his food machine into the atmosphere, it's at the expense of a lot of property damage.

No Plans, No Prototype, No Backup: The FLDSMDFR is the only machine of its kind, and Flint has been tweaking it for eternity. Its launch into the atmosphere, though accidental, turns out to be for the best (as the water in the clouds mean it can now rain food down upon Swallow Falls.) Unfortunately, he has to come up with a way to control it on the spot, and quickly assembles a satellite to do so.

He has a bald spot which is the exact opposite of Mr. T's bald head with Mohawk, and T-shaped facial hair. Not to mention that during the food flood as he's carrying his wife and son on a raft, he jumps through a fallen tortilla chip and comes out the other side, a "T"-shaped hole visible right behind him.

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: While bouncing around in the Jell-O castle, Sam and Flint get to the swimming pool (also made of Jell-O, of course.) Sam cannonballs and breaks through the surface. Flint bellyflops—and proceeds to land on top of the Jell-O like it's made of concrete.

A.I. Is a Crapshoot: The Remote Control television which runs off, and is then seen at various points throughout the movie doing its own thing. Also the FLDSMDFR at the end of the film won't allow anyone to interfere with its endless food production to the point of creating a massive floating food fortress around itself which is manned by sentient food programmed to defend it.

Eye Contact as Proof: Flint's father is very worried about the effects of the food machine and demands his son look him in the eyes and tell him that he's got this under control and that it's not going to end in disaster. His father even lifts his bushy eyebrows and reveals his own eyes, so his son can look him in the eye. A clearly unsure Flint comically struggles for a long time to get his eyeballs to both look directly into his father's eyes. When he finally does, he gets them into position just long enough to very quickly say, "I'vegotthisundercontrol.It'snotgonnanendindisaster." His father reluctantly accepts his word.

Be Yourself
 Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs / int_4ae72307
comment
Be Yourself: A main theme in the film. Flint has fully embraced being the nerd that he is (thanks to words of encouragement from his late mother), but years of his inventions causing mayhem for the citizens of Swallow Falls have caused him to be outcast. The high he gets from the praise from the food weather causes him to ignore his better judgement, and he has to re-learn the lesson to be true to himself. Sam is in a similar position, as her desire to study the weather as a child and her wearing glasses resulted in her bullying, so she dumbed down her intelligence and stopped wearing glasses. She fully embraces her nerdiness to figure out what's happening with the food weather, as well as start wearing her glasses unashamedly.

All of the Other Reindeer: No-one in the town (except his mother, but she's dead anyway) accepts Flint Lockwood and his Mad Scientist demeanor until he creates a machine that makes it rain delicious food, meaning that they no longer have to suffer through eating their disgusting sardines. Flint must also use his mad scientist skills to save the town (and the world!) from this same machine when it starts malfunctioning in disastrous ways. Also applies to Sam Sparks, who was teased for being a nerd when she was younger, but she reverts back to her openly nerdy demeanor just in time to save the world alongside Flint.

The Internet Is for Cats: There's a crudely animated internet video of a DJ cat and a bunch of ducks singing "Fight the Power!". When Sam and Manny try to question Flint about the means of controlling his food-creating invention (which he wasn't able to control yet), he uses this video to distract them while he hastily puts together an appropriate device. It works. For hours.

Fantastic Vermin: One of Flint's earlier projects was an attempt to splice bird traits into rats, resulting in bird-winged rodents that quickly broke out of captivity and in the present have bred into a sizeable population. Besides snatching food, flocks regularly kidnap people into the sky before dropping them from great heights. They have some respect for Flint as their creator, enough to save his life in the climax, but not enough to stop doing what they're doing.

Author Appeal: Chris Miller and Phil Lord, the writer/directors, are total nerds, hence the whole film is about how awesome it is to be nerdy. Every amazing feat of the food weather, from the ice cream snow day to the giant Jell-O castle, all come from Flint's own skills with technology. Then, of course, it's up to him and the equally nerdy Sam to save the day.

Mutating the water with microwave radiation is not possible as microwave radiation only speeds up the movement of atoms, causing it to heat up. However, it could be a form of elemental fusion/fission. Remove two protons from an oxygen's nucleus and you get carbon... but even this would still be failing physics note  unless you consider "mutation" simply a change in basic structure or reasons of this structure and not necessarily DNA, then you can mutate water if you employ strong electromagnetic field or somehow manipulate vacuum polarization effectiveness or even change universal constants, but effects wouldn't generate meatballs, only possibly make existing ones inedible. However, if one would want to make food from thin air (or water), one would have to transmutate a lot of atoms and combine a lot of molecules; the process could also provide enough energy to self-sustain the machine's work (if fusion and not fission is the dominating process), which happens quite a lot in the story anyway. This might be partially intentional.

Laborious Laces: Exaggerated. When Flint was a boy, he invented spray-on shoes to try to prevent untied shoelaces, which are shown to be a problem since all his classmates have their laces untied. Later, when Flint is fully-grown, Sam says that his spray-on shoes might "solve the untied shoes epidemic", indicating that untied shoes are still a massive problem.

Glasses-and-Ponytail Coverup: Played with. Sam was a bit of a geek as a child, and she had glasses and a ponytail. When people made fun of her for her demeanor, she started trying to hide her intelligence, and stopped wearing glasses and putting her hair in a ponytail. When she meets Flint and begins to reveal her true colors, he appreciates her for who she is, convincing her to regain the glasses and ponytail.

Chekhov's Armoury: Every minor detail will show up again eventually, although some only as Brick Jokes. When bonding over food that they enjoy, Sam tells Flint that she has an extreme peanut allergy. Being poked by peanut brittle on the Meateroid necessitates her to leave Flint behind so she can get treatment. The Spray-On Shoes are the first thing that Flint invented and they end up being the only thing that stops the FLDSMDFR. Because its solution is permanent (extremely so) it's perfect for plugging up the machine. The Ax-Crazy ratbirds that were invented in Flint's invention montage return to help the second Flying Car gain enough aerodynamics to actually fly, and after the colossal meatball exploded are exactly what save him from his near-death experience.

Almost Kiss: After having their romantic day in the giant Jell-O castle, Sam and Flint are watching the sunset and then move in for a kiss. Problem being that Flint's rather large nose means he has to puff his cheeks out just to do it, and even then, Sam doesn't know how to do it. Then he's interrupted by an embarrassing cellphone ringtone. Then he accidentally walks right off the balcony. Very painfully.

Flint ends up destroying the FLDSMDFR by using his Spray-On Shoes to clog it up, and that's what ends up saving the day.

Bait-and-Switch: Flint shows off the jell-o palace he made for Sam, which includes a couple of famous statues he's pasted her face onto, giving off some desperate vibes. She briefly eyes the exit (also made of jell-o), before declaring how awesome it is. The only way to take down the machine in the climax is to have a code sent to Flint's phone from his computer. It's up to his father to get into his lab to do just that, but it takes a long time of Flint (humorously) instructing him and then him almost being overtaken by the food weather. Finally and triumphantly he manages to send a message to Flint's phone, which Flint rushes to the machine. Turns out it was just a cat video. His dad is really bad with technology.

It Runs on Nonsensoleum
 Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs / int_8a5dc833
comment
Flint's explanation of how the FLDSMDFR works amounts to an announcement from the writers that they're not even pretending it's remotely plausible. Water does not have a genetic code and thus can't mutate. Besides, most food is mostly made from sugars, and food made from water would have no nutritional value. Unless he's mutating the microbes IN the water, which is gross. Mutating the water with microwave radiation is not possible as microwave radiation only speeds up the movement of atoms, causing it to heat up. However, it could be a form of elemental fusion/fission. Remove two protons from an oxygen's nucleus and you get carbon... but even this would still be failing physics note  unless you consider "mutation" simply a change in basic structure or reasons of this structure and not necessarily DNA, then you can mutate water if you employ strong electromagnetic field or somehow manipulate vacuum polarization effectiveness or even change universal constants, but effects wouldn't generate meatballs, only possibly make existing ones inedible. However, if one would want to make food from thin air (or water), one would have to transmutate a lot of atoms and combine a lot of molecules; the process could also provide enough energy to self-sustain the machine's work (if fusion and not fission is the dominating process), which happens quite a lot in the story anyway. This might be partially intentional.

Reed Richards Is Useless: Flint's inventions tend to go wrong in ways he doesn't expect, but he creates an AI out of a television, makes a hair restorer that's too effective, does a little genetic engineering and hybridization to combine animals from two different classes into a hybrid that thrives in the wild, and creates a spray sealant that makes Flex Seal look like Elmer's glue, several of these when he's barely old enough to cross the street alone. If he wasn't on some "rinky-dink island in the middle of nowhere" and actually had someone to direct his efforts productively, he'd be rich.

Weather-Control Machine: The FLDSMDFR is capable of using the moisture in the atmosphere to create "food weather," cheeseburger rain being only the first of its feat. It's also capable of "snowing" ice cream and later, when things take a turn for the worst, a spaghetti tornado.

Ludicrous Gift Request: About halfway through the film there's a montage of various citizens requesting their favorite foods from Flint. The mayor (now massive) asks for a "pizza stuffed inside a turkey and the whole thing deep-fried and dipped in chocolate".

Exact Time to Failure: Flint was smart enough to install a "Dangeometer", which measures how much use he has in the machine before everything goes horribly wrong. Unfortunately, finally getting respect for once in his life leads him to ignore the warning signs until it's too late.

Bathos: The scene where Flint takes his father to the Roofless. It's a sad and serious scene, but you can't help but laugh when the steak lands on Flint's head, and the commentary to the movie reveals this was intentional. During several other scenes in the film, the drama is interrupted by food falling everywhere. The characters usually just ignore it.

Foreshadowing
 Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs / int_9d12bbc1
comment
Foreshadowing: One of the many that immediately comes to mind is the Mayor wanting to become big... and he does. He gets really big. Gaze upon the sunset cresting over Mount Leftovers, from which we are protected by a presumably indestructible dam! And one that's easy to miss if you're not paying attention: When Flint is speaking via voice-over in the beginning, there's a short scene that shows the present-day Flint, and can be written off as drama. That same screenshot can be seen at the climax of the movie, when Flint stops the FLDSMDFR. And another, even more subtle, from the same moment: Flint's exact line in the voice-over is "I stared at defeat...and found hope". When the scene is repeated at the end, Flint stares at "da feet" (his own feet, to be exact) and finds hope in the form of his Spray-On Shoes. Sentient Pizza, broiled chickens and Gummy Bears are sent to stop the heroes. This foreshadows the fact that the next film has living food.

Lost in Translation: In-universe, for laughs. Sam's weather reports are always filled with food puns, and broadcast all over the world. When ice cream snows down on Swallow Falls, she declares the town is "Truly a la mode!" (meaning "stylish" or just "great") with a wink to the camera. This is kept in almost all broadcasting countries, but in Britain, it's literally translated to "A town that is truly topped with ice cream."

comment
The Theme Park Version: The major cities of the world (and their inhabitants) as seen in the film are deliberately simplified, exaggerated stereotypes. It fits with the storybook illogical logic seen throughout the entire movie. Lampshaded when the newscaster announces that "recognizable monuments" all over the world are being destroyed first, then the rest of the world.

Eventually he notices he's three feet off the ground, and just climbs down the flying ladder he's standing on.

Shout-Out
 Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: The ending credits use a style inspired by Yellow Submarine. As a nod to this, they feature a short scene of the central characters dressed as Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Shout outs to other sources include: The Baby Brent mascot may be based on the famous "Coppertone Baby" [1] During his first action montage, Flint appears to be throwing a Hadouken. The first scene with the Ratbirds may be based on Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds, including the part where one crashes into the camera. During the Spaghetti Twister sequence, Flint runs into his own billboard, reminiscent of a scene from The Day After Tomorrow. The plan to attack the giant meatball surrounding the FLDSMDFR - Death Star II anyone? A Sarlacc pit of peanut brittle even forms inside the giant meatball. There's a Simon (the toy) next to the elevator door leading to Flint's lab, which he uses as a security keypad. The giant chickens inside the meatball flock together on the ceiling like a certain species of xenomorph. Towards the end, the FLDSMDFR is on the end of a tentacle and behaving like the alien probes from The War of the Worlds. When the Gummi Bears attack, it's just like when the Buzz Droids attack in the first ten minutes of Revenge of the Sith''. When the Flying Car Mark II blasts off there's a familiar-sounding music sting as well ... The Gummi Bears ripping up the wing on the flying car: "There's a thing on the wing of this plane!!!" No way was the explosion of the FLDSMDFR looking exactly like the Death Star's explosion unintentional. Finally an insanely obscure one. The Remote Controlled TV strongly resembles the titular monster from the obscure 50's B-Movie The Twonky, a killer alien that resembles a TV set with legs. Flint labels the FLDSMDFR's physical data port as the "Welcome to Moose-PORT". note Welcome to Mooseport was a thoroughly unremarkable comedy starring Ray Romano and Gene Hackman, and is only really notable in that it killed the latters career. A fact that is the only reason it ever gets mentioned on this very site. The sequel has Sam dressing as Dr. Ellie Sattler from Jurassic Park. The entrance to Flint's lab,(not the porta-potty) resembles the passageway in the Satelite of Love.

Artistic License – Chemistry: This film depicts a storybook world that runs on the Rule of Funny. Any scientific errors are probably as fully intentional as everyone in Swallow Falls being forced to eat sardines 24/7 just because the plant closed down. Flint's explanation of how the FLDSMDFR works amounts to an announcement from the writers that they're not even pretending it's remotely plausible. Water does not have a genetic code and thus can't mutate. Besides, most food is mostly made from sugars, and food made from water would have no nutritional value. Unless he's mutating the microbes IN the water, which is gross. Mutating the water with microwave radiation is not possible as microwave radiation only speeds up the movement of atoms, causing it to heat up. However, it could be a form of elemental fusion/fission. Remove two protons from an oxygen's nucleus and you get carbon... but even this would still be failing physics note  unless you consider "mutation" simply a change in basic structure or reasons of this structure and not necessarily DNA, then you can mutate water if you employ strong electromagnetic field or somehow manipulate vacuum polarization effectiveness or even change universal constants, but effects wouldn't generate meatballs, only possibly make existing ones inedible. However, if one would want to make food from thin air (or water), one would have to transmutate a lot of atoms and combine a lot of molecules; the process could also provide enough energy to self-sustain the machine's work (if fusion and not fission is the dominating process), which happens quite a lot in the story anyway. This might be partially intentional.

Yes, Flint creates an untested machine with the potential to become dangerous, but he's wary of not pushing it past its safety limits (perhaps not as wary as he should have been due to Acquired Situational Narcissism) and when he first notices it's about to go critical, he immediately goes to shut it off. Unfortunately the Mayor, blinded by the economic boost the machine is providing the town, gets there first and pushes it way beyond capacity. In short, science provides a good for humanity; politics ruins it; science ultimately saves the day.

After he has a falling out with his dad, drives Sam away and the FLDSMDFR malfunctions due to the mayor's meddling and begins creating devastating food weather, which leads to the Chewandswallow folks ostracizing him once again, Flint throws himself into a trash can with many of his failed inventions, utterly heartbroken.

Avoid the Dreaded G Rating
 Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs / int_dec54a8c
comment
Avoid the Dreaded G Rating: The sole content descriptor for the film (rated PG) is "brief mild language." "Hellhole," "crabballs" and "crotch kick!" (when Brent first starts attacking the chickens) are probably what qualified the film for the rating. In the UK release, the language is still there, but the film is certified U (The UK equivalent to a G) with the content descriptor reading "Contains one use of mild language and scenes of mild comic threat."

Souvenir Land When the world realized that sardines are "super gross," Swallow Falls faded into obscurity—Sardineland is the mayor's attempt to get its old fame back. It features souvenirs, a sardine-tin ride, and the largest sardine alive (which is still very, very small.) The mayor also does the same thing to the entire town of Chewandswallow, beckoning tourists from all over the world to come to the town with the food weather. Among the perks are a view of Mt. Leftovers, a nacho-cheese hot tub, and a candy-filled play area for kids.

Gasp!: Easily one of the most well-known scenes of the movie. Flint, Sam, the entire population of Swallow Falls as well as Steve and a ratbird do this after the FLDSMDFR succesfully demostrates its primary function by causing multiple rainbow-colored clouds to rain cheeseburgers on the island. The only exception is Flint's dad, who reacts to the sight by raising his fuzzy unibrow and showing his eyes staring in awe at the whole thing.

The Load: Baby Brent. He joins the group's venture into the Meateroid in the climax, but because he can't contribute anything, he's just instructed to stay in the car...and proceeds to not do that, instead following Flint and Sam and barreling them off-course. Chicken Brent, however, turns out to have some karate skills that keep the roasted chickens at bay long enough for Sam and Flint to find a new passage.

Unconventional Food Usage
 Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs / int_f1dcfb69
comment
Unconventional Food Usage: This movie has lots of examples due to the plot revolving a lot around food: When Flint and Sam go on their unofficial first date, they use a giant jello essentially as a bouncy house. Flint also uses jello to make a piano, two statues, and a scrunchie. When Flint makes it rain ice cream, the citizens have a "snowball fight" that's actually an ice cream scoop fight. Flint uses both licorice and spaghetti as ropes during the "deactivating the machine" scene, and uses a pimento as a helmet. After Brent kills the giant, walking roast chicken that tried to eat him, he wears it like clothes. Discussed when Sam thinks that if they can't blow up the food-making machine, they'll have to live underground and wear bacon for clothes.

Running Gag The ratbirds are introduced in Flint's Failure Montage and continue popping up as vermin of Swallow Falls, once carrying off a child. They also come back in the climax to save Flint. The remote-controlled television pops up in the background throughout the film. While the town panics from the impending food hurricane, someone breaks into an electronic store and steals a TV. The remote-controlled television breaks into the store to steal a person. When people surprise Flint, he always does a silly kung-fu pose. It's pretty easy to miss the first time you watch it, but he does it every single time. Any time Flint's Rocky-esque montages happen, he will dramatically narrarate everything that he's doing. Lampshaded when he says, "Saying what I'm doing!"
