Yeah, I know - I'm pushing this film pretty hard here. But after working for years on a project that's ultimately only going to be in theaters for a few weeks, you would push it pretty hard for that short payoff time too.
Anyway, great article about Cloudy, and animated films in general
here:
"I didn't manage to motivate myself to the theater for the blockbuster Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs until this weekend, when friends with kids invited me along on a family outing. Had that not happened, I might have missed one of the most visually interesting and genuinely funny comedies I've seen in a long time.
It made me wonder: Adults read Harry Potter books and Twilight, both of which are nominally aimed at young adults (at the oldest). Why doesn't it feel as likely that they'll go to purported kids' movies?"
