Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 was released in theaters today. My daughters and I had the opportunity to see it at the MOMS Cloudy 2 Mamarazzi Event Wednesday! Initially, my oldest was fighting to go into the Theater but a little popcorn and Subway Kids meal Packs helped her make it into the theater. Once Bill Hader, voice of Flint Lockwod, started a Q & A with the guests she wanted to leave because she knew the movie was starting soon. She was scared because she didn’t know what to make of the “Foodimals” from the movie poster. We only saw bits and pieces of the first movie so were unfamiliar with the story line. We were ready to leave when someone else told her it wasn’t scary. She thought about it for a bit and decided to go back in and give it a chance. Half way through the movie, she leaned over to me and whispered “thank you for making me stay mom, I love it”. From this experience, she has learned she needs to give things a chance before she decides she doesn’t like something, (more below images).
Both of my girls sat through the entire movie and absolutely loved it. They laughed and occasionally grasped my hand anticipating a scary part. They fell in love with the Foodimals. Since seeing the movie, they talk about them all of the time. My youngest loves Barry the strawberry, my oldest loved the Flamangos, and my personal favorite was the Cheespider! My oldest packs her school snacks in the Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 Subway lunch bag she received at the movie preview. Because they love the Foodimals, I have tried to incorporate them in their lunch and have them come up with their own creations! Check back next week for meal ideas inspired by the Foodimals.
