Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs

I love the original Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs movie. Hell, I also think the sequel is as good as the original! But this... is far from good, but still acceptable. The animation is below average, but the colour palette is great. The writing needs some improvement, and I understand that it's trying to find its' identity. The characters... are flanderized. And it doesn't follow to the continuity. Teen Titans Go is completely mindnumbingly vapid. But Cloudy's cartoon series and My Knight and Me are still newbies and trying to find a way to create a good story.

Both of the movies were amazing and I don't know why they got slammed by people reviewing them, but this was hot garbage! It was hard to watch because of how bad it was. I'm glad it's all over!

I am going to be honest I was actually excited for this show I love cwacom. Then I saw an episode and didn't think much of it other than it being boring. Then today I saw another episode and oh god... why. First of all let me go through the characters:

Flint: Not too interesting he's pretty much trying to be jimmy neutron but not as good, he isn't cool like he was in the movies.

Sam: God she is just boring! She is girly and uninteresting she's not at all like she was in the movie. (I may have over exaggerated here)

Earl: Man what did they do they turned this guy into a teacher and did nothing with his funny tough personality he's now a man child who just teaches and isn't even a main character.

Steve: they actually didn't change much about him but he isn't with flint as much.

Tim: Same as Steve.

Brent: Him and flint aren't even friends anymore he is basically the school bully stereotype.

Mayor: He is the modern mr. Krabs OK maybe not that bad but he is up there he is i think the principal. Also didn't he ditch everybody and escape in the first movie? I wish he would've drowned.

Alright that's the characters now to the episode I watched. The main joke was farts... why? Just why did they do this flint makes a bean that makes him fart so he can add something to the school. And they have equations and stuff that says grossness can be used to convince someone to agree with you? Again why did this go into the writers nonexistent heads? Overall its not the very worst cartoon so I gave it two stars for trying because not all the jokes are farts like some cartoons... cough ttg cough but I would stay away from it if you liked the movies

I'm only setting my vote to 10/10 so that this show can have a better score that just a 3. In my honest opinion it's a 5.5.

I think that the show stays true to the humor that the movie had and the style is rather charming! The writing isn't the greatest sometimes but in other times it can be pretty alright. It's not a great show but it definitely doesn't deserve a 3.0. It is a bit odd that they didn't recast the original voice actors but the ones they have now are passable. Then there is the continuity error with the movies that Sam lives in Swallow Falls, while in the movies she only just came there. I can't recall it entirely but I remember Flint saying that he would erase Sam's memory if she ever moved.

This review isn't the greatest, but the show just needs some more recognition.

It's common today to see Hollywood remake movies and TV shows be remade as well. One of those remade shows was Cloudy with A Chance of Meatballs, a show based on the 2009 film, which I praised in the past. The show has all the familiar characters from the films, Flint, Sam, Steve, and so on. Where the show starts to fall apart though is that the humor in this show barely has any humor in it and most of the jokes in this show are poorly done or are bad puns. The artwork and animation while not terrible, could have been done so much better, it can get choppy from time to time, and the main color this show has is grey, I know this is a ghost town, but why is 90% of the show in grey? It makes it look dead. The characters are barely funny and the humor they actually provide that is funny is very rare and its so boring. The only characters who stayed the same were Steve and Tim. There was plenty of potential for this show, but C.W.AC.O.M. proves that like most spin-offs, the original is way better. Go watch the original films, It's WAY better than this junk. If you do see this show on TV, make like Flint's food raining invention and fly away from this terrible remake of a classic.
