History Characters / Cloudywithachanceofmeatballs

* TurtlePower: Manages to survive the food grinder by tucking himself into his vest.

-->'''Earl''': '''FLINT LOCK-WOOOOOOD!'''

A local celebrity of Swallow Falls who used to advertise sardines as "Baby Brent". He was also a bully toward Flint during their childhood.

* InSeriesNickname: His full name is actually "Calvin".

--> '''Mayor Shelbourne:''' This was ''not'' well thought-out.

* UltimateAuthorityMayor: He seems to be the only major authority power in Swallow Falls, as he admits he spent the entire town's budget on Sardine Land "without consulting anyone", and later "took out a very high-interest loan" to renovate the island into a tourist attraction, again likely without consulting anyone. In the series, he seemingly holds every position of authority in Swallow Falls.

* CorruptCorporateExecutive: He intends to find the food machine so he can reprogram it and make more Foodimals that he'll be able to turn into food bars. He also intends to pave over the remainder of Swallow Falls and "work in complete secrecy".

* EntitledBastard: Despite mockingly calling Barb a monkey throughout the film and firing her when she shows hesitation to carry out the order to kill Flint's friends, Chester still has the nerve to beg for her help, all while continuing to call her "monkey". This is what cements Barb's HeelFaceTurn.

* HopeSpot: He manages to survive being thrown into the food grinder which spits him out toward an exit [[spoiler: only to be caught and eaten by the Cheese Spider.]]

* {{Jerkass}}: Unempathic, irresponsible, and he will go against you if you find out that he's evil.

* MesACrowd: His holograms, [[spoiler: even weaponized in the climax]].

* ShadowArchetype: Shares a lot of traits with Flint; crazy inventions, a simian lab partner, odd yet quirky personality, he was even bullied as a kid due to his love of science. The only defining trait is that he gave into his ego and does unscrupulous actions in his endeavors [[spoiler: up to and including ''trying to kill Flint and shred his friends alive'']].

* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: [[spoiler: Tried to pull it on Flint after they find the food machine.]]

* BerserkButton: Being called a "monkey". She seems to take it in stride when Steve calls her that (since it was just him innocently pointing out things he sees). But it's obvious she doesn't like Chester doing it since they've been companions for the longest time, as well as the fact he does it in a rather mocking manner. Come the climax, it's the final straw when he still does it while calling for help.
* HalfDressedCartoonAnimal: Is only wearing a Live Corp vest with no pants for most of the movie until the end, where she ditches even that and ends up fully naked.

* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler: Is the one that ultimately stops Chester by eating him.]]
* TheDreaded: Can be seen attacking the Live Corp employees, Chester uses it to convince Flint to stop the machine and it does attack the heroes at one point. [[spoiler: However once Sam approaches it in a more calming manner, it becomes friends with the group and a major heavy hitter in the climax.]]

* NotEvilJustMisunderstood: [[spoiler: It's just defending its territory and rightly sees Live Corp as a threat. As long as you don't threaten it, it won't harm you.]]

The various animals that mutated from the FLDSMDFR and now inhabit Swallow Falls

* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler: The newly created marshmallows save Flint after Chester tries to push him into a chasm.]]

* PunnyName: All of them, [[spoiler: except for the tomato.]]

* EntitledBastard: Despite mockingly calling her a monkey and firing her when she shows hesitation to carry out the order to kill Flint's friends, Chester still has the nerve to beg for her help, all while continuing to call her "monkey". This is what cements Barb's HeelFaceTurn.
