Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 animation

"Script lacks in lingering nutritional value, it compensates for with amusing food puns (...) The pic’s zany tone and manic pace are good." 

"While not as delightfully breezy as the original, an engaging voice cast and hordes of 'Foodimals' still manage to serve up a tasty sequel." 

"At times it felt as if this film might challenge Pixar’s decade-long reign (...) strange, colorful and wildly cute" 

"If you rely on films to keep your kids entertained and distracted for an hour and a half, 'Meatballs' is a masterwork, a visual stunner that manages to break from animation's current 3-D rut. (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of four)" 

"It might politely be said that the writers didn’t sweat things too much because they knew the animators are the stars. (...) Rating: ★ (out of four)" 

"The sequel to Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs is brightly animated with likeable characters and a strong voice cast, but the plot feels weak and, some inspired animal-food gags aside, it lacks the wit, invention and pace of the first film."
