Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs 2 Now On Blu-ray & DVD

January 29, 2014 by Momstart 1 Comment

We received a sample

Kids love Cloudy with A Chance of Meatballs and mine were so excited to see it on the TV at home. CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF MEATBALLS 2 arrived on Blu-ray & DVD January 28th that was yesterday. WOOT.

The Premise:

After the disastrous food storm in the first film, Flint and his friends are forced to leave the town. Flint accepts the invitation from his idol Chester V to join The Live Corp Company, which has been tasked to clean the island, and where the best inventors in the world create technologies for the betterment of mankind. When Flint discovers that his machine still operates and now creates mutant food beasts like living pickles, hungry tacodiles, shrimpanzees and apple pie-thons, he and his friends must return to save the world.

Sony Pictures Animation certainly knows how to make an entertaining animated feature. "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2" utilizes a nonstop, universally appealing sense of humor and endlessly imaginative visuals.  This movie is a colorful feature that reminds me a lot of Jurassic Park 3. Because in that movie, they must go to the island, and the difference of course the the reason they have to go to the island but the similarities are there. I mean monsters chase them at every turn.

Check out a few similarities here:

The lab-coated Flint Lockwood (Bill Hader) settles down with his friends to clean up the leftovers and build a new laboratory with romantic interest and meteorologist Sam Sparks (Anna Faris). He’s assisted by his bushy-eyebrowed father Tim (James Caan), chicken-suited mascot Brent (Andy Samberg), police officer Earl (Terry Crews) and his son Cal (Khamani Griffin), Sam’s cameraman Manny (Benjamin Bratt), and his pet monkey Steve (Neil Patrick Harris). Just as they begin the reconstruction, legendary inventor (legendary theme park creator in Jurassic Park 1) Chester V (Will Forte) lands in his helicopter (lands in his helicopter) to recruit Flint to his massive LiveCorp research facility in San Franjose, California, where he secretly plots to use the youngster and his invention for nefarious purposes (none-too-subtly dubbed "Operation Capture the Invention").

It’s a fun adventure full of colossal and cuddly characters that keep kids interested from beginning to end.

Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs Movie Bucket #giveaway

September 24, 2009 by Momstart 997 Comments

“Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs” is currently in movie theatres and ready to be watched. It was created by Burger King and Sony Pictures. As part of the promotion, BK is supporting Feeding America, the film’s charitable partner, by promoting awareness of Feeding America’s childhood hunger initiatives and philanthropic empowerment in kids. Go BK!  We love Feeding America at Mom Start.

9-14-2009 10-30-07 AM BK’s newly revamped kids’ site, www.clubbk.com, offers kids the opportunity to become “Hunger Helpers” and rally behind the charitable organization, via a movie-themed online game where they can earn “Crowns” (the virtual currency for Club BK) and then donate them to show support for the Feeding America cause. They can also access more information about the charity and get tips on how to support local food banks all at ClubBk.com

 

Kids have donated more than 1 million Crowns in charitable shows of support to Feeding America only after seven days. They have just surpassed the community’s goal! How excited but the fun isn’t over. Children are still asked to go on and make contributions.

· To celebrate Club BK’s efforts toward philanthropic empowerment to kids and as a valued partner to both Feeding America and Burger King Corp., Kraft Foods is supporting Hunger Action Month with a $25,000 donation to Feeding America.

And now for the prize:

My children are helping me to show you what you will win with this promotion. BK has a movie promotion bucket to share with one lucky reader.

The bucket contains:

· $40 movie gift card to see the film

· Full set of Club BK Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs kids toys

· Club BK’s Adventures newsletter

· Original Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs book

 

The full set of toys got my children and I through this afternoon. I wasn’t feeling very well so I opened all the packages and let them play with it. We also looked through the book. Not as many pictures as I was hoping for but my kids like listening to words.
