So when it was announced that they would be making a sequel, most of the voice cast returned but not the directors. At this point they&#8217;ve moved onto another point in their career as their star continues to soar. So who could fill their shoes? None other than a pair of guys who worked on the first movie, Cody Cameron and Kris Pearns.<\/p>\n<p>The two directors have had their hand in the animation scene for awhile. Cody Cameron had directed a couple of straight-to-DVD animated features but both have worked as story artists for years. They know what makes animated films function, and this time they were lucky enough to direct a widely popular movie that would be giving them all sorts of wonderful exposure. We were happy enough to speak with the two directors as the press conference about tackling this sequel, creating some adorable foodimals and what we should be expecting out of this movie&#8217;s new villain.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How did you avoid \u201csequel-itis\u201d and the compelling need to go bigger to give the movie its own identity since some audiences may not have seen the first movie? <\/p>\n<p>Cody Cameron:<\/strong> The first one, working with Chris [Miller] and Phil [Lord], we wanted to continue it with this one, so it really was about hopefully continuing the story.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>Kris Pearn:<\/strong> You spend so much time in the story process that you just live in the world and you eat it up; it\u2019s spaghetti on the wall \u2013 to use a metaphor \u2013 that\u2019s what the first movie was.  We just kept throwing ideas on the wall and what seemed to play the best stuck.  We kind of had the same approach here.  There was very little calculation in terms of, \u201cthis has to be better!\u201d  We just went in and started playing with the characters and the what if, and then just organically create the movie.  We screen a lot and we\u2019re always looking for the audience response to see how we\u2019re doing in terms of the pacing and whether the story is clear, so it was the same sort of process.  At the end of the day, you don\u2019t know what you have until you put it out there, and we\u2019ll know in three weeks.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>Kris Pearn:<\/strong> Artistically, certainly our production designer and the art crew, there was a sense we could take the governor off the world because the idea was Flint\u2019s head had split open and spilled all over the island\u2026<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kris Pearn:<\/strong> Metaphorically.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why isn\u2019t Tomato an animal, it\u2019s just a tomato? <\/p>\n<p>Cody Cameron:<\/strong> On the food animal thing, we do have three different classes of animals. There\u2019s little tribesmen, which are various pickles, tomatoes, they are what they are walking around. And then there\u2019s the food animal hybrids like hippotatomus, then we have kind of fast-food monsters like the cheesespider and the tacodile.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kris Pearn:<\/strong> When they went off to design the food creatures, he did a hundred and sixty of them in a weekend. Some of them got painted up and we had a board of all these food creatures. My kids were in the office and they were like \u201cWhat\u2019s that one dad?\u201d Then I said \u201cThat\u2019s just a tomato\u201d and they got really disappointed. I thought that\u2019s kind of funny.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How did you decide what the antagonist and villain would be in the piece? How did that work out in getting Will Forte?<\/p>\n<p>Kris Pearns:<\/strong> There was an idea that they had in the first film where Flint ended up going to meet one of his heroes. We didn\u2019t have room for it in terms of that story arc, so when we started breaking this idea, we looked at that as being a place to start in terms of graduating Flint into the idea that Flint would leave the island. That he was the only guy in a lab coat that would end up in a place where everybody had lab coats. One of the heroes that he had up on his wall would be something that he would be aiming for in terms of a character goal. So when we looked at the archetype of the blue-jean billionaire, sort of the self-made Steve Jobs, Richard Branson, Carl Sagan. The whole development of Chester as a character came very organically. Then we hired Will Forte. He came in the work shop for about four sessions.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/cloudy-2-pic-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/cloudy-2-pic-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"cloudy-2-pic-2\" width=\"600\" height=\"343\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-134211\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/cloudy-2-pic-2.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/cloudy-2-pic-2-300x171.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>How much of the movie was intended to address these social issues of the world changing, things of that nature?<\/p>\n<p>Kris Pearns:<\/strong> We live in the world and we\u2019re always responding to what we\u2019re kind of experiencing. It certainly was never our agenda to make a political movie with that at the forefront so \u2026 but when you\u2019re dealing with an issue like food you have to respond to what\u2019s going on in the world as lightly as we could touch it we had some of those\u2026 I mean, it was mostly about poop jokes.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>What animals didn\u2019t make it into the movie?<\/p>\n<p>Kris Pearn:<\/strong> There was a Spam Whale, which was a can of Spam with a tail.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>Cody Cameron:<\/strong> Yeah, Tyranno-smore-us made it into the coda, but it\u2019s not actually in the body of the film.  It was a giant Smore T-Rex.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>Kris Pearn:<\/strong> Lived on a Cr\u00e8me Brulee-cier, which of course made sense because fire from the s\u2019mores caramelized the surface.  But most kids don\u2019t know what cr\u00e8me brulee is.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>Why did the sequel not follow the book sequel and why the original title change?  And if the franchise continues, does it have to be food related? <\/p>\n<p>Cody Cameron:<\/strong> Flint definitely invents different kinds of inventions.  I think food is central to our world and I hope that food would always be a part of \u201cCloudy.\u201d Well, \u201cPickles to Pittsburgh\u201d was the second book; we continued our story that we were working on from the first film, but there are pickles in this one.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>Kris Pearn:<\/strong> We tried to get a version where a pickle fell through the transporter and ended up in Pittsburgh, but we just couldn\u2019t find a home for it in the movie.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>Cody Cameron:<\/strong> One of the things I think Chris and Phil gave us with the first film was the sense of genre, so they took the idea of \u201cCloudy with a Chance of Meatballs,\u201d which was great children\u2019s book without really any characters \u2013 there wasn\u2019t really any narrative there, it was just sort of an event \u2013 so they took the idea of that event and they built it into a disaster movie.  So when we came into this one, we knew we had already done the disaster movie genre, so we wanted to flip our genre.  So that drove us into what the story was going to be instead of more the\u2026<\/p>\n<p><strong>Kris Pearn:<\/strong> Yeah, the monster film or noble savage.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>Cody Cameron:<\/strong> Right, because I believe \u201cPickles to Pittsburgh\u201d opens up with a clean-up operation of the food event, so we definitely had a little nod to it, but it was never anything that we were able to work into the story.  But as far as \u201cCloudy 3\u201d goes, who knows? <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2&#8221; will be out in theaters this Friday, presented in 2D and 3D.<\/p>\n<p><a
