The family film “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs” was probably, in a lot of ways, a sleeper hit when it originally came out. What at first seemed like a throwaway film based on a book actually turned out to be a wildly inventive film with tremendous-looking CG food. The film is such a success that a sequel, “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2,” is making its way to theaters soon. The first trailer for the film is out via Yahoo! Movies; check it out below the post.

“Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 picks up where Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs left off. When inventor Flint Lockwood discovers that his most infamous machine – the FLDSMDFR – is still operating and is now creating giant mutant food beasts that threaten to destroy civilization, he knows he’s the only one who can stop it. With the fate of humanity in his hands, Flint and his friends must embark on a dangerously delicious mission battling hungry tacodiles, shrimpanzees, apple pie-thons, double bacon cheespiders and other food creatures to save the world… again!”
