History YMMV / CloudyWithAChanceOfMeatballs2

[[center:[[YMMV/CloudyWithAChanceOfMeatballs First Movie]] | '''Second Movie''']]

* CondemnedByHistory: When the movie initially came out, it was fairly well-liked and successful at the box office and when several animation critics, Mat Brunet being the most prominent example, have come out and made their case for it being a bad film they would receive a ton of hate at first. However, over the years, there would be a much more vocal dislike of the film especially by fans of the first film due to the need to dumb down Flint, wasting most of the characters, the constant use of food puns, a forced environmental message and humor just not being as funny as in the first movie, with the response to previously mentioned reviewers such as Animat being much more positive and supportive of their opinions. Nowadays the sequel is most often ignored at best and at worst a more hated sequel.

* ContestedSequel: On one hand, you have people who find it a decent enough follow-up to the first film, with a good plot, nice visuals, and unpacking Flint's relationship with his dad and friends a bit. Others see this movie as a really painful case of {{Sequelitis}}, citing that characterizations are botched or [[{{Flanderization}} Flanderized]], many of the characters (beyond Flint, Sam, Chester, and Barb, at least) [[TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter are wasted or useless]], and generally just marks the beginning of the franchise [[FranchiseZombie going downhill]].

* FanNickname: The film is sometimes known as :Food Puns: The Movie".

-->'''Chester V''': I was never gonna turn off the machine! A 'BS' [=USB=]! Hello! Your machine is what I wanted all along.

* FanNickname: Food Puns: The Movie.

* MoralEventHorizon: It's obvious from the start that Chester V plans to manipulate Flint into getting the FLDSMDFR in order to make his new food bar, which seems [[{{Greed}} very in line for a greedy inventor that wants to maintain his grip on the food industry]] and would likely take the credit for Flint's invention. That all changes when [[spoiler: he [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness kicks Flint down a deep drop into the river below because he has no more use for him]], reveals his EvilPlan is to turn the fully sentient food animals into food bars and decides to have Flint's friends '''be shredded by the very machine he plans to kill those animals with''', and even after Flint gives into his demands, [[ILied he still wants to drop them]] in.]]

* AuthorsSavingThrow: Though the look wasn't disliked, Sam's 'perky' look remains far more popular than her eventual 'nerdy' appearance. The sequel has her let some hair down while still pulling it back, combining elements of both.
