Another stand out area of creativity is the “Foodimals” sentient food shaped animals that populate the story. It’s great seeing how the sleek and stylish Live Corp was designed or the dense food jungle that once was Swallow Falls. However it is testament to the production itself that the character designers and artists on the film were able to explore in their individual styles and the book displays these nicely. The issue with production on a sequel is that the characters in the film are already established which may present a slight issue when displaying artwork of the characters it may become samey or boring. When a little extra effort goes into the contraction of a book to display the work of artists like the extra cover it is appreciated and makes the book a nice item to hold.
The book starts with a tremendous colour script which is part of the hardback cover which folds out to reveal another section to the hardback expanding both the familiar vista on the front cover and the colour script itself if you’ve not seen the film I would avoid gorging your eyes on that piece of work as it is quite spoiler filled. One of the best if not the best items of merchandise that accompanied the first film was an “art of” book which has become the standard for animated family feature films and this particular edition delighted with a surprise on every page, the artwork and concept of the film is displayed with perfect ingenuity so it was with great excitement that I received the book that accompanied the sequel The Art of Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2. The sequel must be applauded and the way the concept was joyously and originally expanded upon almost delivered the same surprise that the first film did. Earlier this year Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2 charged into cinemas eager to reintroduce cinemagoers with the exploits of Flint Lockwood and his rag tag team of buddies.
