Saying the animators need a career change is realllly disrespectful.
I dont think you have any idea how the animation pipeline works. These artists are professional? The "bad" character designs were made through trial and error through many artistic hands.
This movie is very charming especially the second one!
Some very clear, silhouetted, Characters with fluid movement. You show a picture of the couple from rio. Noticed how I said couple? I dont remember their names! Because they are forgettable! But flint and sam are so clear have have such a distinct look that its easy to picture them in my head.
Character designers and animators are different departments. There are color stylists, lighting departments, rendering, storyboard artists so many people!
I believe they did do their job wonderfully.
You can not like the movie, but I recommend actually getting to know how films work.
Tbh even with the worst of animation, I wouldn’t say that. Animation isn’t a easy thing to do.
@John Cena yeah i doubt you've ever even tried to animate or design a character, the designs and animation is actually really good especially for its time, and just blatantly saying "they're both bad" really annoys me like a lot
You're right
@John Cena cope
@John Cena geez you’ve been here for 7 years just telling people that cloudy is bad. It’s ok to have opinions, but don’t try to change ours
It's a harmless movie. Also I just love the father's design with the huge eyebrows, moustache no eyes, I can't help but like the movie.
Luca Pixar’s latest film stole from this movie design
@John Cena did it kill your family and cause you mental depression?
@@TheRealSlaky it's a BAD movie.
@@TheRealSlaky really? You have to ask that kind of question just because someone Doesn't like this movie?
Yeah but its not good
Jesus! I mean, this movie isn't one of my favorites, but at the same time, I don't think I've heard of anyone hating this film at such a deep level as this, nor have I personally felt that way since watching the film! At the same time, though, I actually like your honesty and your explanations behind your opinions towards this film, and in some ways, I actually kinda agree with some of your points (some of which I've never thought of beforehand).
Yeah, I'll watch this over the emoji movie anyday
So let me get this straight: Animat doesn't like this movie because he thinks its inforcing that stereotype that animation is for kids?
That's what I was thinking. I never seen ANYBODY roast this film like that. I do think the film gets obnoxious sometimes but not enough to where it's a bad film nor was it ever to that extent. I didn't like it the first time around but I never thought it was THAT bad.
my favorite to
It almost feels like he was trying to find reasons to hate it, he made it out to be way worse than it actually is.
I'm starting to hear that you want all humans to be the same design. Anything that doesn't look like the humans you wanted isn't human. I've seen worst human designs done out of laziness without ever designed such as Nuttiest Nutcracker, Food Fight, Delgo, Son of Mask, Magic of Oz, Deitch's Tom and Jerry and their Hobbits, my list goes on.
I give this movie's credit for actually having a useful cop when we have too much movies w/ useless cop(s), and having a useful female character with a personality when most movies are only there to be saved or act like Bella Swan.
Too bad the girls doesn't have a point other than the unnecessary love interest
The girl is USELESS.
Well the book, while not mattering to the movie which was a loose adaptation anyway, still had its own art style that looked fine. This seemed to have forced a cartoon look for the sake of comedy. Not enough to make me dislike it since I found this film to be pretty funny and entertaining, but still.
Not to mention, one that makes for great heartwarming moments. And it's Mr. T being Mr. T.
No, the art style in storks is cartoony. Animat did liked it and thought it is fun. I thought that the animation looks really bad.
I never knew people disliked this movie that much. I think the first one has an interesting charm to it, even the odd animation style (I'm a huge animation fan too). I thought it was funny too. The second one was horrible though. But hey, I respect the other opinion.
I liked both of them,and I'm okay if others don't like either of the movies.
(I REALLY like the animation style.)
:3
I enjoyed a lot of humor and animation of the first one, but the second one took the series 'downhill' xc
I agree. The first was alright, but the some don't is absolutely disgraceful and insulting.
+LOLFlyingPotatoes *Second one
I also agree
6 years later and this is the perfect example of how not to criticize animation
This is just his opinion
@John Cena Bait
@@danielhooperofficial That he screams out at 2000 decibels for 20 minutes straight.
@@danielhooperofficial it may be his opinion but it doesn’t mean it’s a good opinion. This video made him seem like has no idea what actually makes movies good and was out of touch with everyone else example being he disabled dislikes likely because of the backlash
It’s just him’s opinion
As an artist, and aspiring animator, I actually liked some of the animation. I do agree that the designs are somewhat terrifying, but I like Flint's design because it captures his crazy personality. I also liked some of the over the top movements, which made me laugh. At least the animation has fluidity rather than stiffness. The humor is definitely a hit or miss, with more misses that hits. Looking at this review, the movie isn't as good as I remembered it to be. I was also less mature back then, so my viewpoint has changed.
The animation wants to be cartoony and use a lot of squash and stretch, but the designs aren't good and its attempt at using a less fluid animation is not as successful as Hotel Transylvania.
I think over the top movement is awesome and works great with the bizzerness that this movie is. I never considered it funny, simply something that fits in well and is really enjoyable to watch.
Im an artist who adores Cloudy with a chance of meatballs And i really do not care if other people disagree with me. I have friends that said Wall-E was Boring and And another friend said that they hate Meet the Robinsons. And heck even my big brother hated Frozen 2 and I could respect all those opinions. But that being said I still think Cloudy with a chance of meatballs is underrated. Disagree with me all you want.
And I don’t get how this film got critical praise on Rotten Tomatoes, a freaking 93% on the Tomatometer! That’s seriously pushing it. It’s quite refreshing to have an unlikely reviewer who pans this film for its clichéd story, even if it ended up having a positive impact on Swallow falls by giving variety to the foods other than sardines, character animation that tries to be over the top that it gets somewhat annoying, and characters that are just the trope of the characters being mocked as a kid, made something that would help his reputation, the thing then goes haywire, he gets a bad rep again, and then has to save the world. Even the well executed spaghetti tornado, water animation, and perfectly rendered buildings and lighting can’t save this film from getting its Aniamtion a 3/10.
You didn’t actually offer criticism on the character designs. You just said “nobody would tell you this is professional” as if stylization doesn’t exist. No need to get so angry over a soft edged round style Jesus Christ,
God, his voice makes this video even worse. Gives Chills a run for his money.
Don't take the name of Jesus in vain
In cloudy with a chance of meatballs 2 he elaborates further on that point by saying the movement is more over the top and spaghetti limbs (althrough that may just be the star scientist from the second movie)
I've seen this movie only once, and honestly, I thought it was pretty decent. Not anywhere near as good as The Lego Movie but not really deserving of the Animat's seal of garbage either. I'd honestly give it a 7/10
That’s actually a great score a 7/10 for a good movie.
I would give this movie a 6.5 out of 10 and cloudy 2 a 3.5 out of 10.
Here’s my rating (You May think that I’m giving it too much high praise but I actually loved this film)
Story: 7/10
Animation: 9/10
Characters: 8/10
8/10
Same, the movie’s not that bad as Animat makes it out to be. Sony Pictures has made some decent movies but I can understand why it’s been getting so much flak lately.
Ben Jackson Me too
"terrible, overly-cartoony animation"
ok
I think what he was trying to say is that it should've just been a cartoon on TV and not a 3D animated film.
That doesn't really apply though, there's literally no reason why techniques from 2D animation like extreme squash and stretch can't be applied to 3D.
Yeah, that was his complaint about Hotel Transylvania, you see. That it should've just been a cartoon and not 3D. It just seems to be some level of stubbornness over different things.
I think it's also kind of a moot complaint about that movie too. Hotel Transylvania's animation is what makes that movie as good as it is. Without the exaggerated animation playing up all of the jokes and whatever moment, we'd be stuck with just *another* Adam Sandler flick
Probably the problem was it stayed for too long on that Squash & Stretch, like we look at Flint "squash-and-stetching" his face for straight 3 seconds (and it's not squashing in different directions, it's the same one).
And we can say that Hollywood today overuses that slow-down effect.
You actually managed to make me like this movie more after watching this review
Are you butthurt?
This movie is not good
How did a negative review to a movie make someone like that same movie more when they saw the review? My brain is leaking out of my ears
@@fancyman3206 it's not fantastic
@@wolfgangamadeusmozart1293 oh shut up
Listen I know this is your opinion, but you didn’t have to make this whinny rant and insult the people that DID work hard to make this movie.
Recognize that your opinion is unpopular, present the other side, present your side and just admit that you don’t get the film.
It’s okay. At the end of the day, it’s just art. And as video essayist Kaptainkristian once said,
“There is no good or bad art. Just art that speaks to people, and art that doesn’t”
@Zach Kimber Can you not copypaste all over the comment section?
@John Cena hey nigga
I completely agree with the animation is only for kids stereotype issue. I'm 20 and adore animated films but my parents don't understand and tell me to go watch some "actual movies". It's frustrating because there are so many animated films that teach mature morals and have so much depth but if it's not live action with real life actors people think it's toddler fodder. So much ignorance in this world today isn't there?
I’m 22........a video on RUclips perfectly describes why I love animation so much. Of any sort. Doesn’t matter if it’s 3D, 2D, stop motion/claymation, hell drawn.
@@starrsmith3810 Animation already is a filmmaking medium for all ages. Best way to solve it? Try to aim at separate demographics. There's a limited animation community out there which has been growing strong in our country of the United States, both veterans and newcomers. I believe we'd highly support on the foreigns to try their best too.
Hypocrite. You’re saying “it’s 3D being cartoony so that means it’s pandering crap for babies” when looney Tunes, Mickey Mouse, spongebob are the kings of cartoony-ness but guess what? Adults love them
Also you don’t need morals to have a good story, when you think about it Some of the classic Disney films have terrible morals. Snowwhite “you d!ed? Don’t worry, some random guy will kiss your c*rpse and bring you back to life” The little mermaid “In love with a guy you haven’t even spoken too? Well just change your entire life style, leaving your family behind” Beauty and the beast “stockholm syndrome”
Oh buddy, if only you knew how much people were going to diss it in 2022
the scene where the dad made it snow ice cream for birthday is one of the most heart filled scenes I have ever seen.
It’s so ridicules but it is sweet to see how far he’ll go for his son

And then came Norm of the North!

Trolololo lololo I'm not counting Classic Reviews.
*cringe of the cringes
+Trolololo lololo and food fight
Hey! I subbed to you! Funny to see you here!
So more realistic animation like disney is pure win but anything cartoony in 3D sucks amirite?
Yeah, as a professional animator I gotta say you could learn a thing or two about animation by studying it, cause this review isn't claiming it's just an opinion, rather you claim a lot of stuff that any character designer or animator would kindly tell you you're wrong about.
Honestly this just goes to show that super fans think themselves experts in the medium and always end up becoming critics that really don't know a thing about animation. I keep noticing there's a clear lack of knowledge to what is great animation when most people think it's about it being fluid and looking like disney.
@Zach Kimber doesn’t make this review any less of a horrible take. If he really wanted to do something about it, he’d revisit the movie, but he won’t
ruclips.net/video/nmnD6unORAk/видео.html
@John Cena cope harder💀
This man’s gonna lose his shit if there ends up being a third film
I actually like the first one, but I think we can all agree that the second one is terrible.
I like the second one but not the first one.
yes
Agree
At least the second one had a creative concept with the Foodimals.
When I saw it in theaters, the audience applauded it at the end credits...so clearly it can be seen as good to some
Is it bad to say that I kinda like both the CWACOM movies? At least we can all agree that they are better than Foodfight and Norm of the North and probably the Emoji movie, right?
BRRGames I like the cloudy films too and do you like the loud house?
Kieran Stark Want more death?
Where the Dead Go to Die
None of what you just said is really a compliment though.
yeah i agree
Hi BRRGAMES Can we be friends
I personally like cloudy with a chance of meatballs
Same. It’s not as bad as Animat says it is. There’re much worse movies that he’s reviewed both in the past and present. I don’t hate Sony but I can understand why they’re considered one of the worst studios to deal with.
same
It’s fun
I think it’s just cause he hates how Sony treats their animated films. They’ve really started out bad
So do I
The film is deemed unwatchable...because of the character designs.
*_WHA-_* (JFtheLOLZOR.exe has stopped responding)
AniMat: "This beloved iconic movie is bad because I don't like the animation style."
Also AniMat: "hey all my pfp and banner are straight fire!"
@Zach Kimber stop commenting this noone gives a shit they're allowed to talk on videos
"You know, it's amazing. You are 100 percent wrong. I mean absolutely nothing you said was right."
Story: 7/10
Animation: 6/10
Characters: 7/10
Score: 7/10 (Decent)
i like the 1st Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs. but Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs 2 sucked.
I agree.
thanks
agreed
yes
2 just has things that are interesting to look at
The secret to good animation is just one word:moderation.
Keep the fluidity of your character's movement at just the right spot.
Too little :it becomes stilted and awkward.
Too much :it becomes demented and, in some cases, nightmare fuel.
This also goes for facial animations as well.
I think Planet 51 is worse.
In the UK, it somehow got a five star rating.
H-h-how?!
Season 8 of Geordie shore is coming out in the uk and Ireland. That just shows you how much of us don't give a fuck about quality shows or movies.
Yeah me to, Cloudy is bad but it did have some good gags, but Planet 51 was just boring and agonizing.
Stage Lined now that is something Animat should review and that was truly Planet 51!
If Animat thinks that this is a bad CGI movie with food, just wait until he watches Food Fight
He did already.
Tyler Fish this comment was made in 2014
That's one of his favorites
@ffjreviews9029 I know.
My Thoughts
Story - 9/10
Animation - 8/10
Characters - 6/10
Overall - 8/10
Meh, I think its kind of an okay movie
The second one, however, it just sucks so bad
yeah I agree.
Same here.
Fuck Me! Agreed
Agree very much.
yessssss
And now, this is a kind of a meme on Twitter
I’m so confused, the tweet was apparently deleted, which part of this video blew up on twitter? I really wanna know lmao
@@featheredcanine1897 The part where he criticises the designs of the characters.
@John Cena your horrible
5:03 Kind of funny how James Caan plays the father in both Cloudy and Elf.
I was just about to say that lol
I know that a lot of people (like this guy) want animation to be more respected as a form of storytelling and that is understandable but to do this some say that there should be less movies with cartoony animation. But the part of the point of animation is that it exaggerates what things should look like which unfortunately appeals to kids. Making things look as realistic as possible is a waste of time because if you wanted to do that you could just make it live action. This film fully embraces the fact that it is animated and uses that to its advantage. Also part of what is great about animation is that all animated films are very different from one another and if they all had ultra realistic cgi animation then personally, I think it would be less interesting. This is probably clear by now but I really like this movie and I think the story is funny, unique and even quite heartwarming at times.
6:00 Also JonTron wasn’t talking about this movie when he said that.
He knows Jonathon wasn’t talking about this film, he was just impersonating an out of context thing that Jontron once said lol
What JonTron review is that audio clip from?
@@jessenathan9346 it’s from the Home Alone video
You think cloudy of a chance of meatballs is terrible? Wait until you see the emoji movie.
He has a number of videos regarding his hate towards that movie.
Pandaitis I know, and it's not even in theaters yet!
Yeah, Cloudy of a Chance of Meatballs is the same freaking company of the Emoji Movie.
Does AniMat know that this film has an 87% score on Rotten Tomatoes? That's sure to really bug him.
Trust me, Animat, the CWCMB movies are not the Cancer of Animation. Sure the character designs are a bit wonky, but I think worse contenders would be animation like Foodfight, Breadwinners, or Mad Balls: Gross Jokes. Just ask Mr. Enter if you don't believe me!
bro, i understand you not liking the movie as a whole
but shitting in the animation and art....like, seriously?? you can dislike the artstyle all you want, but saying it isn't professional?? so disrespectful...
@John Cena ok then do better please
@@yuwu585 "you do better" is not an argument. He doesn't have to be a filmmaker to tell you someone made a bad movie
@@bigmacintosh1766 neither is "this is not professional". What about it is unprofessional? Just because it's an artstyle you don't like? Such a childish argoument
@@yuwu585 animation is supposed to be professional. Look at Fantasia, The Lion King and The Iron Giant. Their animation is amazing. Also, it's ARGUMENT.
@@bigmacintosh1766 lmao, what a fucking idiot. You literaly don't know what you're talking about, go read a book
1st: The story is based off of Flint wanting to help his hometown by creating food but goes wrong because he wanted attention and was gullible to the Mayors manipulation, this is a unique story as theres no other like it, yes it uses the same old "hero does a thing, thing goes wrong, hero goes to fix said thing, day saved" but so had many other films, hundreds, no, thousands of films and movies have done this, so this piece of info is just AniMat hating something that has existed in literally everything, this has existed even before the television was created
2nd: Yes, all the subplots actually fit with the while "food falling from the sky", in the story you can tell (it even explains it) that Flint just wants to impress his Father, and is unable to do so as his many inventions have failed to impress him, all the subplots fit into what Flint has been doing and some even explain what the reason behind Flints actions have been to create food, again, its just AniMat hating something thats already explained but failing to see it
3rd: AniMats basically eating his own words here, he said that the characters belong in thier own world, hes stating that the animation and its characters are basically trash in comparison to Rio's characters, which makes no sense because in both movies you get to know the characters one way or another, Flint is a nerdy, confident, kind, and protective type of person (and many other things i failed to mention since i havent watched this movie in while), and here he is saying the characters are, from my understanding, "tasteless" compared to Rio's characters, also, the animation isnt "Decent", its actually one of the best of the best of its time, and of its time that was 2009, animation in that time was getting better and better, Cloudy was the best of its animation, until other anumated films came out that were better in animation
Ok Jesus fucking christ, in conclusion, AniMat is just making baseless points to have hate for a film he doesnt want to admit is even "good" just because it was made by Sony, in the end, all he is doing is making a very stupid opinion that anyone here knows is very, very stupid, the animation, story, characters, my god he hated the characters, thats why the guy with that red hat and beard is there so much, hes supposed to represent the townspeople there in both films hes in, and much more, halfway through the video and i can already see so many issues about AniMats review of this movie, his hate comes from the company, reason? Theres none, yes, Sony has made some crap before, but so has many other studios, i for one dont mind watching "The Emoji Movie", why? Because its a movie i enjoyed! Thats all!
In the end, AniMat has hatred for a company that has made him so mad that hes willing to say bad things about it that arent true, im honestly happy he hasnt reviewd Monster House (i hope) because thats a movie i grew up with. In the end, AniMats just a guy that needs to realize what hes saying, that is all, he has hurt both his channel, and his fans by making this blind hatred very clear, his blind hatred? "I AniMat am declaring i have blind hatred for a companies animations that i say is horrible without evidence of it bieng horrible"
I was scrolling through his videos to find this one video and saw that this video was the reason he slowly started to decline on RUclips, AniMat, if you ever see this, please watch your older videos about Sony Movies and shows, then see what youve done to yourself by haveing hate that isnt supposed to be there, i understand that everyone has thier opinions, but this is hurting your cannel and your fans, im not even i fan! I came here to judge your review of a movie that i watched as a child, ive watched it many, MANY times and i can tell your hatred is very unclear, very unfair, and very hurtful towards many many people. Make the right choices, because not everyone can fix a mistake that they made and decided to leave alone, you can still fix this! You can still see where this blind hatred is coming from and how to resolve it, dont become like a certain "Bowler Hat Guy" that let his blind hatred boil and burn and blame the ones that didnt cause the issue, all because he didnt want to...
Keep Moving Forward...
True that yo.

Fact: Most if not all the kids that first watched this movie, have grown up, and they most likely have it in a special place in their heart.
Sounds like a Sonic fan ranting.
Ikr.
I feel attacked and I agree with you
I wouldn't say it's like a Sonic Fan ranting. I do like Sonic a lot, but Sonic '06 is so atrocious and broken, which almost caused the franchise to die. I despise Sonic '06 with a burning passion, and very few other games were on par with how bad it was. Those games are:
1. The LEGO Movie 2 Video Game (Lazy, boring, and insulting to the movie)
2. Sonic Genesis (GBA) (Laggy and agonising disaster to the 15th Anniversary of Sonic, alongside Sonic '06)
3. Portal 2 (The absolute definition of a 1/10 game from characterisations, gameplay, story, level design, and more)
4. I Wanna Be The Guy (Annoying game with terrible music, gameplay, and strange bosses)
Sonic '06 is ranked #2 on my most despised games of all-time, only beaten by Portal 2.
I like Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs. Both the first film and second film. I respect your opinion on both of the films.
First Movie: 10/10
Second Movie: 10/10
Overall: Greatest Duology Ever
After the rant of how animation needs to be taken actually seriously...
Me: ........(slowly claps)
Bad or good?
Mediocre?
And then goes right into, “Cartoony animation is BAD!”
tbh this film overall is a pretty solid film while it doesn't compete well with up or coraline at the time of its release its honestly overall a good movie
I actually think the animation style is really cute. The biggest issue with it is that the animators seem to think being stylized means you don't need to give the characters distinctive individual designs. Except for the officer and Flinn's dad, they've all got one of two faces.
this will never not be funny to me, genuinely one of the all-timer bad takes
Haha I'm an animator myself but I don't think I could draw a better human character. Well, maybe I could...
Well, I feel really sorry for you. I think that every one can draw think less simple than this! As an artist, I can say that I have seen worse.
This movie is kind of a guilty pleasure for me.
FlyingPrincess I love this movie too
Everybody like the movie so it a guilty hate for him
There's no reason for it to be. It's a genuinely excellent film all around. He's just known for his incredibly poor taste in animation, such as hating this but enjoying Minions.
The Emoji Movie Channel jk I also think that this is a great film
The movie’s not that bad
Personally, I thought the animation was cartoony, which I enjoy. Although the characters are a tad bit bland and so is the story...I think it could have been a lot worse as a book adaptation.
To me, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs represents everything great about Sony Pictures Animation and before Spider-Man: into the Spider-Verse this was a legendary movie by the studio to me, and it deserves the AniMat seal of approval

Cloudy with A Chance of meatballs is bad. The story is predictable, the animation is bad, and most of the characters are annoying
I know it's an old video... But did he really say main character is stupid??? Maybe he should try making a machine that turns water that is switching from the gas state to the liquid state i to food!
I absolutely loved both movies, they're creative and zany, sure they're not perfect, but to me they're above average and have a certain mix of detail and style that makes them all the more lovable.
I still like Cloudy with a chance of meat balls, but I do understand your points. Besides, everyone has the right to their our opinion and I respect yours :)
"Fresh start for Sony"
And then they made The Emoji Movie
Open season was the real fresh start for sony
Spider-Verse
Suddenly this looks like Fantasia by comparison
This is not film criticism. This is just pointless complaining. I'm so glad he improved.
My major problem with the character animation is that the movie was based on a BOOK, which had it's own art STYLE to it. I mean, it's one thing to make the design look like that if the BOOK had that art style, but no.
The only thing it had to do with the book was the name
Yeah, but if they could have gotten SOMETHING to hint at the book, they could have done the art style. The Polar Express had the same sort of art style. Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs forced a cartoony style for no reason, when the book had a definate style to it.
@@battybuddy It remaked pictures of art from the book like in scenes with the food.
@@steventhilo3438 So? If you remade the works of Michelangelo with stick figures, people are going to wonder why you went with stick figures?
it would be cool if movies went back to hand drawn animation
it should been made as short film back in 1990.
infernalHeart no
Youssef Mansy why not?
infernalHeart EXACTLY!!! I need more than just anime in my life, dammit! SCREW YOU LASSETER!
infernalHeart Aren't there one about an artist?
4 out of 10 seems a little too generous given all the complaints you've made.
Yeah. To me, it seemed like he was gonna get it a 3 or 2 out of 10.
do you not like Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs?
I am not the fan of this movie, but I LOVE the soundtrack. That music is awesome. Deal with it people. I love it.
But then Phil lord and Chris Miller decides to come back to Sony to make the company lovable when they did Spider verse
Lord and Miller leaving Sony and Warner bros reminds me of Jeffrey katzenberg leaving Disney to form dream works
Until it turned out that they were abusive to the animators for every animated film they worked on, including this one.
@@tylerfish2701true.
I don't mind the art style honestly. It fits with the outrageously cartoony idea of the movie.
seeing a guy calling one of the most revolutionary 3D animated movie's animation incompetent in what he calls a review is so funny to me. Like, he's so convinced like he think everyone agrees with him and doesn't understand how bad his takes are
My favorite part of the video is actually in his post-review when he says “some people won’t agree that I’m right”, like this dude truly feels that his opinions are fact
@@haydengray3523 it's even funnier in hindsight when the direction that animation took in the last 10 years proved him even more wrong, lmao. It's kinda like all those critics who hated Van Gogh or Picasso (not comparing this movie to any of their works but still you get the picture)
@@yuwu585 it's not revolutionary. It's bad
@@yuwu585 this movie and the sequel is not well made
@@yuwu585 "you do better" and "go read a book" are not arguments. This movie is bad. Period. Also, you're the one who doesn't know what you're saying. "What if it's unprofessional" that makes no sense. Animation IS supposed to be professional
13:23 . I honestly blame both Illumination and the Minions for enforcing the "Animation is only meant for kids" stereotype. But I'll still respect anyone who appreciates them
I think animat is one of the only people who hates this movie
@dreamworkspicturesfan2003 that's okay it's your opinion. I've never actually seen the movie but I hear a few people like it and a few people don't.
@Xander Lightfoot (Depressed) Disgrace
I loved the speech you did at the end, "Animation is a medium, not a genre" :)
tbh he makes a point there
Animation is also a art, and art is subjective. He thinks being cartoony is bad
I do agree with AniMat's views on this movie, but the thing that makes me not like this movie is how far/hard it tried to be different from the book of the same name. If only it had a more creative plot, rather then a bunch of tired,old cliches, uninspired characters, uncreative plot, and animation that looks like something straight out of a Nickelodeon original movie.
+EarthBoundKidd despite that it received the positive reviews?
Diegoraf Blasio I won't deny that the movie did receive positive reviews, and I do like most of the movie, but my problem with it is that it changed so much of the book, that the only comparisons between the book and the movie is the name.
Ironically, Cloudy got negative reception when it first came out in '09.
Pack Rat In The House It did? Huh, with what general consensus saying that it was good, I'm suprised.
MemeboundKidd 2.0 it got a 87% on rotten tomatoes surprisingly
This man has a problem with cartoon characters looking like cartoons. He’d rather have characters look conventionally attractive with the same generic Disney style instead of something more stylized. This movie did something new for animation. It had computer-animated characters animated like a looney tunes cartoon. Animated movies today owe a lot to this movie. Even the Lego Movie or Spider-verse. This kickstarted stylization and creativity in the industry. I feel like you're picking on this movie for everything that made it special. I think it's a great movie with a cartoony art style, great visual jokes, and a compelling narrative to hold it all together. I don't mind if you hate this movie but don't treat your opinion as fact, that's just disingenuous.
I've never seen someone be so passionate about animation.

Just because the animation looks bad, doesn't mean you have the right to disrespect the people who made it.

1. Flint is my favourite character in this movie, I just really like Flint because I think he's cute and funny
2. I like this cartoony animation style because I think that it's creative and fun. I also like it in the other Sony movies (except the Emoji Movie of course).
3. I like the overall silly tone because that's just my taste in humour, I like light-spirited humour.
Okay, rant response to rant video over.
He's a jerk to his dad. And he moves around because he thinks were idiots
I really hate flint he’s Ugly and he’s a disgrace to Sony pictures animation next to Elliot from open season and Johnny from hotel Transylvania
Because tim has a fucking grudge against his fldsmdfr and it going crazy
The Story - 6/10
The Animation - 8/10
The Characters - 9/10
Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs - 8/10
This video had a 50% like and dislike ratio, I really like Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs and I still liked this review. Honestly I think it’s refreshing to hear someone say their thoughts on a movie is very different to the majority
I'm all for people having different opinions but Animat's takes on this film were so Laughable and made no sense. He hates the animation for being too cartoony yet praises Looney Tunes and Tom & Jerry. I loved the cartoony animation cause i feel like it was a tribute to Looney Tunes and Tom & Jerry you know like how they did those cartoon stuff in the 40s and 50s
That speech at the end... Beautiful!
Kronk's new groove did not do the "son trying to impress his father" scenario well
Maybe classified under adult aspirations but he was trying to reconnect to Papi for that approving thumbs up.
Coincidentally, I had to lower the quality of the video and take off my glasses to watch the review.
I noticed this last night while trying to watch this movie, Flint looks like a doodle I did when I was 9. I left the drawing at my father's job at the University of AZ. I wonder if someone found my random doodle and turned it into whatever the hell this was..
When they first aired it on TV I only saw the last 10 minutes or so and thought "What is that shit?!", the next day I watched the rerun to at least know what the hell was going on and I couldn't hate the movie anymore since I absolutely adored Flint's dad. He was written wonderfully in my opinion and I could feel his struggle. The rest of the movie... yeah, admittedly forgettable, but that guy alone made it worth watching for me.
You know the only things I liked out of this movie? Earl, the animated food, the scenes in it that were taken out of the book, and the score.
Cloudy with a chance a meatball is not the bad movie is a good movie.
The plot is good,
The animation is good,
And the characters was good.
W-wait!!?? You think Cloudy is the worst??? Have you never heard of Food Fight before? If not then be happy and don't go search for it. You will only hurt yourself.
+Amy Icefyre He knows Foodfight :/ And besides there's a worse animated film that makes Foodfight look like The Lion King.
He's talking about Cloudy 2
In his review of Where the Dead Go to Die, he said he's never seen Foodfight.
+SBells27 And now Norm of the North.
Demon Rantz Yep, the 2nd worst animated film ever made
+SBells27 He actually thinks Foodfight is worse than Cloudy 2.
Oh Animate, if you think Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs is the worst animated film you've ever seen, wait until you see Food Fight.
Douglas Levin If you think Food Fight is the worst animated film you've ever seen, wait until you see Life's A Jungle: Africa's Most Wanted.
If you think life's a jungle Africa's most wanted see where the dead go to die
Of you think we're the dead go to die is the worst animated watch rapsitte street kids.
@John Cena… oh if you think that’s bad wait till you see norm of the north
I really liked his speech because I hate when people call animation cartoons in a condescending term and how my mom won't watch animated films when I suggest them for the reason that he hates this movie.
Honestly, I thought the animation and character designs were pretty good. Nothing on Pixar's level or anything like that, but I like the energy, the color, and the uniqueness it has. It stands out from the crowd, and I never thought it to be weird.
Yes, there's way worse animated films than this. This one is ok, it won't change your life or the animation "genre", but it's enjoyable.
They are simple, akward and pretty lazy. But, I will say, I have seen WAY worse.
But there is also a reason they did that. Pixar characters are not able to move anything close to this because they have so much more detail. In animation you kind of have a balance between the detail of the character designs and the fluidity and flexibility of the animation. The more details you add to a character the less you can do with them animation wise and the harder it's going to be and budgets are not infinite so you will have to have some more still images.
This movie just goes very hard in the animation direction. Simplifying their designs as much as possible while also very strongly exaggerating their physical features to make them recognizable to make the animation ultra smooth and flexible. Animating a Pixar character in such a quick and elastic way as this movie does is even today technically impossible.
If nothing else Cloudy is actually quite a milestone in CG animation. One big 2D animation always had over 3D and still does to an extent is that 2D can do squash and stretch far easier. Cloudy really is the first animated movie that has 3D animation that has as much squash and stretch as any 2D looney tunes.
I've never seen this but what annoys me is they made a movie that has nothing to do with the book. The book was one of my favorites growing up as I'm sure it was for many. To slap the same name onto a movie that has no resemblance... and weird animation, bugs me.
If they made the book exactly in to a movie the food would be going crazy with no explanation
Honestly, I think this movie is one of the few adaptations that's completely different from the book, but is still good. Other examples I could think of are Shrek and The Shining.
According to the directors’ commentary, there are a few shots from the book that made it into the movie, and the bread-boats in the movie were also in the book, and that’s all I know.
You are completely WRONG about this underrated gem.
I feel your pain AniMat on how people view animation as kiddy stuff. That's why I always get mad whenever a great animated movie is on the TV and my mom doesn't watch it because she thinks its for "kids".
You both are hypocrites
So it’s being cartoony makes it for little kids?! Oh yeah but ONLY little babies watch Tom & Jerry, Looney tunes and spongebob. Cause being cartoony means it’s more babies I guess 😒
The female leads eyes are freakin' huge! Its really unsettling.
+Austin Hinton There's anime.
+sakuraslicer19 what about anime?
Austin Hinton The characters there also have very big eyes.
I know, its one reason I could never really get into anime.
Aha, then you will NOT like anything I draw...
He compares this movie to 2012 Foodfight. This movie, however is waaaay better. The guy who directed Foodfight said that they were trying to use the squash-and-stretch technique to imitate the Looney Toons but that seemed like it was just to cover up for the pitiful quality of the animation. "Cloudy" uses squash-and-stretch but, unlike Foodfight, it not only works but it actually looks like the animators had more control over it. Also, the jokes and the writing were much better.
He reviewed foodfight
@@Micahluvsnull yeah. Only because one of his patrons asked him to.
True
i think the odd, jelly like animation gives this movie a special touch. it suits the main character and the story, but it wouldn't work for other animated films.
Beware: This comment is very long.
In my opinion,
Story: The setting of this story is pretty interesting. It takes place to a depressing island called Swallow Falls where the only food they eat, is Sardines. Now here is the story. It may be that underdog story, It does have good things surrounding it, In the beginning, It shows Flint at school where he showcases his invention and after that one difficulty, the kids call him a Failure and Flint's narration does define the theme very good, And here's who encouraged him to live his dreams, her mother. She told Flint that he may have failed alot, but as long he keeps trying harder, he will live to his true potential. And the mother giving the coat to Flint is meant to be an encouragement for Flint and and her support for her son. And then Flint continues to invent and his parents proceed and that's Flint's backstory. And then next, we are given a montage of Flint continuing his progress of inventions that have yet failed. And after seeing Flint doing many attempts of failing, He is afraid that he might never see his son's potential and may think it is time to stay safe, and later that moment later, he refused to give up. Then we are given the introduction of Sam Sparks. She starts of as a dreamer to becoming a successful weather girl by going to Swllow Falls. He tries to make the FLDSMNFR work by applying cables from the electric tower, but then later his invention flew away. Then they Flint meets Sam and they were ready to give up. Until the raining cheeseburgers started raining which is the sign of Flint's invention being successfully working and with that Sam can used this weather to save her job. So, we are given the scene of the demonstration of how the machine works. And then we are given a scene of Flint taking orders from the citizens of Swallow Falls. And then Tim Lockwood asks his son if he could help him, but he said that his working with the mayor. Anyway, we are given the wholesome arc of Officer Earl trying to get a present for his son, and after Flint's reason of his desposition of him. Earl says Father's are trying to make their son happy, And Atleast Flint knows that why his father wanted to do the Bait Tackle Shop job with his Father because he never got time to spend time with him. And with that Flint orders a ridiculous Ice Cream wonderland for Kal. And we are given enough time to see them bond, Which is actually wholesome. Then we are given the scene of Flint having a date with Sam, Sam explains the reason why she started off as a weather girl instead of a Nerdy Meteorologist. And what the interesting part is that there was never a person who supported her, so she gives up and there was never a reason to give in her dream. That is before Flint tries to encourage her, by giving her a redo of her looks like back when she was a kid. And that's what sparked their romance.
And then later on his invention goes wrong and he tries to stop it, but due to some difficulties, he couldn't. And he was ready to give up, until Tim Lockwood gives him his Son's coat (along with a fish metaphor) to finally show his support for his son like what his wife did, and that was a wholesome part as well. So Flint, Sam, Manny And Brent (The bully of Flint Lockwood) Go to find the machine and shut it down. And as the weird climax goes on, In the final fight scene we got to see Flint Lockwood not using a Plot Device, but a memory of his past which is the spray on shoes, which is actually fantastic. Them after that, we see the emotional speech of Tim's care for his son. And that's the story. I think the storytelling of this is compelling, while there are flaws noticable, it doesn't fail to carry it's theme and the ridiculous plot makes it a fun to watch.
Animation:
I think it's safe for me to say that other than the character designs, the creativity of the foods and the interesting concept of the city is actually pretty great. And while the designs may be weird at times, it doesn't have to be that realistic. The cartoony design s really work for this movie. The character movements really support the wacky over the top silliness of this movie, such as Flint Lockwood doing walking or running, it is hysterical. And Tim's design is peak, which is certified peak animation. The animation is definitely has some creativity and funny animation surrounding it, and while the character designs are weird, they are atleast Tolerable. Otherwise what if the animators of Foodfight! took this IP?
Characters:
Flint isn't just some underdog scientist, He is a protagonist motivated by his mother to capture his dreams, and he fails so many times even he doesn't care because he believes that he will be successful in the future. Then we have Sam, and while she may be dorky at sometimes, she does have a believable backstory at why she couldn't capture he real dream and instead becomes a weather girl instead. The Father Tim Lockwood cares for Flint and the reason why he wants his son to stop, is because after seeing all of his failures, he lost his faith of seeing his son's true potential. And if you keep watching, you can see his progress getting good. Also, I think the mother is the most least mentioned character of the movie, and while she does get a little screentime, you couldn't deny of her supportive love for her son, she believes of how her son can became a great scientist in the future, and that part where she gives her the cloak, is a symbol of support that Flint can achieve something fantastic. Then We have Earl, the meme. And with all that aside, he is a good father trying to make his son happy by getting a present for his son, that's a good side character. And we have the side character that improves overtime, Brent starts of as a Bully of Flint, and why does he have to go up there to find who he is? That's confusing, But he does contribute during the climax so I'll give him that. And the mayor is an obnoxious villain, It's unsatisfying that he gets away after causing the rising problem of this movie. And for me, characters are believable, and understandable, despite the odd first and middle screentime of the bully and the unsatisfying villain who never did anything.
Overall: This movie has fun characters, a ridiculous plot, Hilarious humor, and creative animation. And despite of it's flaws, It's characters and the strong emotional core, is what stands for this movie. And I understand if you hate it. But for me, I love this movie.

Why don't you make a video than just typing that long?
When he almost started writing a decent review at the whole characters section-
Man- oh man.
They had us in the first half chief.
I remembered watching this video back in middle school and it pissed me off so badly just because he hated this movie. 7 years later, this still pissed me off, it’s ok to have an opinion, and this is his opinion but just to say that the animation is unprofessional and the animators need a career change is downright disrespectful to those that have worked on this movie. I understand that the style may not be for everyone and the designs may look a little weird in some scenes. But the style fits well with an already goofy premise of food falling out of the sky. Like bro what the hell did you want the animation to look like, a Pixar movie. Like come on bro it’s not that serious
You HAVE to review foodfight!

here's a tip, do not shit on the people who worked on the film.
You not liking this movie is fine but can you at least give reasons other than just "it's stupid", "it's gross", it's bad".
I think this movie is epic.
This is an old video
@@benluka1811somehow Turning Red has the same thing that Animat described this movie so does that mean his past shouldn’t be brought up?
Btw let me remind you this guy defended a movie that has CP on it.
We all want ice cream snow on his birthday
Unless you’re lactose intolerant.
it's not THE worst animated movie ever, but it is a clear example of a mediocre movie that only gets positive reviews because people are like "meh, it's a kids movie so who cares", reinforcing the stereotype that kids/animated movies have low quality animation and bad writing. So I can see your point on why you hate this movie so much.
hmmm. looking back at this post I think I was just bitter and plain salty over all the kids flicks in cg. this movie is passable, but not great. I still think the visual style could benefit more from a toony 2D animation style, rather than the "realistic" rubber chicken boneless look that most of the characters have. and the writings a bit average, but that's all there is really
also I hate those morons who say animation is only for kids. your one of the few people who actually cares about it
The animation looks amazing and cartoony.
