Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs - Nostalgia Critic 

I'm still waiting for Doug to review Meteor Man, Postman, Repo Men, & Bicentennial Man. In my opinion, these are 4 underrated films that deserve to be talked about more.

Review Cloudy with a chance of Meatballs 2 next please Doug.

This movie is one of my favorites.

I like it

Review Barnyard (2006) please Doug.

And also a greatly acted performance from James Caan. May he Rest In Peace.

@@hunterolaughlin R.I.P James Caan 😢

@@DiegoHernandez-xt2su I miss him.

@@chasehedges6775 me too

@@DiegoHernandez-xt2su Dammit I didn't know James Caan died this year too!! I swear every actor I've admired growing up has died this year... Most recently Kevin Conroy.

No he’s a volunteer cop

God bless those shorts.

@@DanteKrystal Joe from Family Guy: Who wears short shorts? *I WEAR SHORT SHORTS!!!!*

What’s more is that in the tv show series they made him a part-time teacher

How is that commentary? I like them but some can be boring.

Then you should check out near the end of Mitchell's Versus the Machines with the dad.

Absolutely true for me too! Stay strong my brother.

How cliche though that he literally loses the USB drive as soon as he says "imagine if we lost it". Sometimes I wish we could just have scenes like that without the jinx. Like say if several scenes earlier we are told that the drive is important, then in the rocket they lose it without that cliche line, and then as the audience we are left to think "oh shit, that thing was important" instead of the movie spelling it out mere seconds before it happens.

@@PikaLink91 We do get that a lot in films written for adults, we just don't think about it because it's normal story progression. This is a kids movie though, so you kind of have to make some of those allowances.

That image was funny when Tim’s monobrow was raised so much when Flint asked him to email a “kill code” to him, as the former has never used a computer before! 😂

LOL

Nice 👍

LMAO

🤣🤣🤣

Except I like the mayor

👴🏿

Add Ratatouille to that list

Don’t forget the Naco from Kim Possible.

Add Shokugeki no Soma.

True

Funny thing is, this is a hella entertaining level in Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story. Luigi gets partialy eaten by a monster inspired by those Cup-shaped bug-eating flowers, and hop around in the unconscious body xD

That chicken is kind of like the Cybugs in Wreck-it Ralph.

From big baby to chicken .

Right I always thought how awful that was, like did he kill the chicken and is wearing it's dead body?

@@JackalopeBunny It's more a Grey area until the sequal. At this point it IS food and while it is the same in chemical makeup as roast chicken, it didn't exist as a typical living chicken first. It WAS intentionally made to be a roast chicken by the device. It is sentient in that it is attacking the heros but even at this point it is recognized almost like drones to a hive mind in protection if the food making device. We don't see Steve as a monster for biting the heads off of the living gummy bears because they are just food extentions of the device protecting itself from being shut off. The sequal movie however retcons this. In fact..it's part of the moral lesson and the prior actions are not ignored to make the new adventure work happier..Flynn is convinced to go to the island because he is under the false impression the sentient food will attack the world like it attacked him and his friends. He FULLY sees the food this way for a while and ACTIVELY detaches himself so he doesn't have to feel bad he is going to kill them all. It takes a lot from Sam and his other friends to admit the good creatures are actually amazing and intelligent individual beings. It's especially ironic as they see him as their God in that one instead of attacking him! It makes for a really cute story and the ending is especially dark and amazing when it comes to the villain: totally not Steve Jobs..but..you also realize despite having to do it to save the world..yeah..yhe chicken and gummy bears and things they had to kill to do so in the first movie..WERE possibly intelligent living beings rather than just puppets..I suppose since they were more just giant versions of real food over the amalgous creaters we would see in the sequal, you could argue they were a mid evolutionary step and hadn't achieved true independent sentience yet. It is still dark and kind of funny though. From the machine and foods perspective, the heros were the villains of the first movie..the sequal even starts right at the end of the first one so you know everything is continuously cannon. It's messed up but I love the studios for not just pretending things were different or ignoring them to lazily make the plot work. It's a rare occurrence of this and I feel it makes Flynns arc in the second one all that stronger. It's clear he sae the device and all it created as a piece of himself..the mistakes he made in the past and the part of him he desperately wanted to move on from. You can kind of forgive him for the way he treats the food creatures because he sees them as the same negative part of himself that nearly took everyone he loved. The villain is offering the future self he feels wants to be and the food creatures are the past he feels stuck in. It's only when he can forgive his mistakes and see the positive that came from them that he didn't orgionlaly intend, that he can do the right thing. He didn't directly make the food creatures but they are a result of his creation. They weren't what he planned but they still were amazing and deserving of life. A few potentionally sentient roast chickens had to die in the process but he kind of WAS their God and it paved the way for a whole mess of confirmedly sentient and very intellegent beings.

One film on my bucket list I want to see him do a full review on is Spirit : Stallion of the Cimarron from 2002 Always loved that film, and now would be the right time IMO since it’s officially 20 years old now

He could do some anime too

That's true. New Movies that came out when he started nostalgia critic, could now be reviewed as nostalgic.

Believe it or not back in the day he actually had a cut off date, anything past that date he wouldn't review because it wasnt considered nostalgic. Now hes so big he just reviews anything

@@mattb9054in fairness he had to remove it because he started running out of things he felt he could make a review out of. An instance was the war of the worlds old vs new he scrapped because he couldn’t make any good comparisons that would favor either.

Doom (1993)

What movie are you referring to?

What movie are you talking about?

Monsters vs alien

What other movie ya moron

Monsters vs aliens or monster house

What made me laugh is when the television store had its window busted in, a man steals a TV. Then the walking TV shatters the window and steals a man from inside the store. 😂

I thought they used dry wood for the bones braking.

There is a scene where someone snaps a stick of celery in half. Maybe the foley artists broke someone's leg for that sound effect

The actors actually ate hamburgers to make the talking with mouth full accurate sounding

F L I N T. L O C K W O O D !

In woooooo

@CalderaMan Definitely! Me and my husband quote it all the time. Almost every sentence is super memorable and quotable!

Massimo's design is definitely inspired by this character.

At first you think its just the white fluff of his Christmas hat covering his eyes, then he takes it off and reveals its eyebrows lol I wanna see that

I've always felt like the sequel is a movie you could enjoy even with the sound off. The animation is just so fluid and active, and just all around fun to watch.

Ya because grendy work on this baby. The guy who made samurai Jack

Small time companies do it as well.

@@yuvalgabay1023 I know he worked on Hotel Transylvania, but I don't remember him being credited for this.

Interestingly, around the time this came out, Disney was still kinda struggling with making top tier CG films imo Then again, Cloudy would be really hard to visually topple even today lol

The soundtrack to this movie is so good.

This movie’s soundtrack is one that I remember vividly even though it’s been 10 years since I’ve seen it. It’s so powerful and so memorable.

Fun Fact: The score is done by the same guy who did the score for Rugrats.

@@hunterolaughlinit’s the legendary Mark Mothersbaugh from DEVO.

I loved that bit. I think that's when the dad asks Flint to "look me in the eye and tell me you've got this under control." XD

I watched it back in 2011 on big fun movies. And then 6 years later the channel that big fun movies was part of made an animated series of the movie which has little to do with the Movie itself.

@@okjeffy6581 why do people even do that, anyway? If you’re gonna name it after something, it should be related to it in some meaningful way.

@@IamaPERSON I enjoyed the first episode but lost interest on the rest of the series

@@okjeffy6581 i haven’t watched the show, but I remember my cousin watching it when it came out.

@@okjeffy6581 The 2nd film was also unfortunately a letdown too. It’s not the worst, but it’s quite boring and forgettable. Also felt like a rehash

Do not even talk about the sequel. The very idea that it is bad to hunt mutated food to eat disgusts me. As well as how they have the villain being eaen by them!!!!

@Raximus3000 oh come on the sequel wasn't that bad.

@@chloenieuwsma4846 Yes, it was. The message was awful on par with Avatar as i mentioned and jurassic world where a litle clone girl effecively kills who knows how many people by unleashing a bunch of dinosaurs.

@@Raximus3000 Wow....

By that point the movie makes it pretty clear they aren’t mutated good anymore, the animals of the island are actual animals with salience at times of a close level to humans. And the movie does make the point that all the problems with theanimals started from the villain deciding to invade the island, since if you think about it a bit they literally wouldn’t be capable of expanding outside its surroundings (since they don’t reproduce by themselves, they need the machine for it) and as far as we can tell their actions to humans outside the island boiled down to scaring the crap out of sailors

That's so nice! That's my favorite things about storytelling, creating character dynamics that encourage real world understanding, gratefulness, and even change.

I loved Alpha and Omega as a kid but now that I’m 14 I dislike the show! I still love Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs even today!

I wish they were not kickrd off Solo.

They done alot of good but I can name one bad project of there's since you decided to include producers hoops

Oh neat! Never realized and I just rewatched it!

especially how eager he was to help flint some way or another but it turned out THE ONE THING he could do is the most difficult thing for him is mundane but it is hilarious

Me when I talk to my mom about video games.

@@spongeintheshoe Man, thanks for replying to this, I just wrote a depressing as shit dissertation of a comment on another video and it was kind of bumming me out. I'm glad you reminded me of this stupid scene. Peace man!

@@deltacharlieecho4732 I know, right.

Lego movie was so terrible.

@@Gambit771 that's fine, if it personally isn't in your taste of films. I personally loved it when it came out back in 2014, but I know that not every film is perfect so I can see someone having some problems here and there.

@@Gambit771can I ask what was so terrible about it?

Plus adding the No school!!! joke

Yoooo I never noticed the "deafet" line after many rewatches.. that's cool

Honestly I don't know too many food theme animated movies. What else is there?

@@nekonomicon2983 definitely not food fight lol

@@nekonomicon2983 Sausage party? Not a kids film but that was never specified

@@nekonomicon2983 Veggietales

lol its so true

Finally nice to see a fellow Bicentennial Man enjoyer

@@CacoQueen: In my opinion, Bicentennial Man was Robin Williams' most underrated film/performance.

All of these have man/men in the title 😆 That's a pretty funny coincidence

Bit of a spoiler below, you've been warned. I believe Doug has mentioned he is fan on downer endings, so his taje on Rwpo Men might be neat.

His next month should be "Obscure Film Month"

I never thought of that! That is weird

Or even more horrific would Flint’s feet grow but be stuck in the constraints of the shoes and overtime break and snap

Maybe there elastic and grow alongside the wears feet size? That's my thought anyway.

wait...hes never taken off his "shoes"?

@@teleportingpotatoe the spray on shoes can’t come off they’re stuck to his feet forever, Flint will die and those things will still be stuck to his skeleton

In most movies, it would be funny enough just having him as a walking eyebrow for the whole movie. But the scene where he makes Flint look him in the eye, and that brow just levitates and shows those beady little eyes underneath, that's a difference-maker.

Bjork!

It’s a classic.

Agreed. The movie still holds up to this day, I love it

Thank god some else notice that hat guy

You are not only in the silent majority but the only one to think that.

Same! Also, @Gambit771 , he's not the only one.

It was always the food avalanche/the giant bagel that terrified me.

Like a cat video. Fight the power!

Same here, there was a time as a kid where we ate nothing but cheap spaghetti This book was an escape for me where I could imagine myself in a world where I could eat whatever I craved because money wasn't an issue

Am sure he will at least I hope so 😅also watch RU-vid channel bronc studios I have 583 viewers so far

Same. That scene is sooo funny!

The twenty-firth century.

Same here. It’s one of the best!

Except a marriage to Chris Pratt

there's a book??

@@Hal-fx9xx Yeah. Doug showed it multiple times at the beginning of the video.
