12	* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
13	** During the earliest development, Flint Lockwood was the most successful scientist in the world who got stuck in Swallow Falls when his food machine malfunctioned, but this characterization was deemed too unlikable.
14	** A storyline involving Vance [=LaFleur=] and The Science League was cut, although a poster remains in Flint's bedroom.
15	** Originally, instead of Flint going to the out-of-control [=FLDSMDFR=], the mayor shot it out of the sky, and it fell into the ocean, creating a huge monster made entirely out of food. This was cut due to the resulting monster being too similar to one in [[WesternAnimation/MonstersVsAliens another film]] that had just been released in early 2009. Smaller food monsters would eventually appear in the sequel.
16	** There was a cut scene from the movie where Flint and the Mayor were sword fighting using celery sticks.
17	** The directors wanted to the theme from ''Film/{{Xanadu\|1980}}'' to play over the closing credits, but couldn't secure the rights.
18	** A [[http://www.artofthetitle.com/title/cloudy-with-a-chance-of-meatballs/ cut post credits scene]] would have revealed that Flint is the Grandfather, who narrates the story in the book.
