Have you seen Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs注, the adorable[惹人爱的] 2009 animated film? Of course you have. Not having seen it would be a shame. Seriously.
Imagine, if you will, that the lords of cinema were gracious[慷慨大方的] enough to grant[赐予] us a sequel[续集]. A return to Swallow Falls in which Flint (Bill Hader), his beloved Sam Sparks(Anna Faris) and their amusing[逗乐的] group of supporting characters returned to the scene of the previous crime, where food had begun to evolve and turn sentient[有感知的]. No, this isnt a feverdream for your inner child. Its actually Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2.
After the disastrous[灾难性的] food storm in the first film, Flint and his friends are forced to leave town. Flint accepts an invitation from his idol Chester V to join The Live Corp Company, which has been tasked[授予任务] with cleaning the island, and where the best inventors in the world create technologies for the betterment[改善] of mankind. When Flint discovers that his machine still operates and now creates food-animal hybrids[杂交品种] known as “foodimals” like living pickles, hungry tacodiles, shrimpanzees and apple pie-thons[(法语)鲔鱼], he and his friends must return to save the world.
你看过2009年那部可爱的动画片《天降美食》吗?肯定看了吧。错过这部片子实在是罪过,真的。
如果你愿意的话,不妨设想一下那些电影业的老大们特别好心肠地拍了一部续集,让我们跟随弗林特(比尔·哈德尔配音)与他心爱的珊·史巴克(安娜·法瑞丝配音)以及那群活蹦乱跳的配角一起回到大燕镇,再次面对上一部电影的恶行(遗留下来)的景象——食物开始演化,而且有了感知力。不,这并不仅仅是一个源自你内心自我的狂热美梦。这是一部货真价实的《天降美食2》。
在经历了第一部动画当中那场灾难性的食物雨之后,弗林特与朋友们被迫离开小镇。弗林特接受了其偶像切斯特·V的邀请,加盟生命作物公司——该企业致力于将小岛清理干净,而且拥有全世界最好的投资者,为改善人类生活创造新科技。弗林特发现他的机器还在运作,如今居然创造出食物与动物的杂交物种——“食物动物”,例如活生生的泡菜、饿肚子的墨西哥卷鳄、虾猩猩以及苹果馅饼鲔等等。他和朋友们这下必须回去拯救世界了。
