Disappointed with a chance of meatballs.

Well, that’s too bad. Back a year or so ago when I heard that they’d be making a movie out of Judi and Ron Barrett’s terrific kids’ book Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, I hoped maybe it’d be made live-action. Handled well, the idea of seeing an actual town where it rained hotdogs and baked beans in an open-roof restaurant, as well as the bit where sanitation trucks clean up all the leftover rain/snow/food and feed it to the pets would be, I thought, a bundle of CG-imbued cinema fun. According to Film School Rejects, however, this great book – one of my boys’ favorites – is simply being made into yet another animated feature destined to be lost in a sea of blah-ocrity.

I truly love this book and I often wonder about the significance of the pancake hitting grandpa on the head. What does it mean? I don’t quite get the book about Pittsburgh written by the same auther in the same style. Not as goot.
