Have you seen Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs注, the adorable[惹人愛(ài)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[賜予] us a sequel[續(xù)集]. A return to Swallow Falls in which Flint (Bill Hader), his beloved Sam Sparks(Anna Faris) and their amusing[逗樂(lè)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[災(zāi)難性的] 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[授予任務(wù)] 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[雜交品種] known as “foodimals” like living pickles, hungry tacodiles, shrimpanzees and apple pie-thons[(法語(yǔ))鮪魚(yú)], he and his friends must return to save the world.
你看過(guò)2009年那部可愛(ài)的動(dòng)畫(huà)片《天降美食》嗎?肯定看了吧。錯(cuò)過(guò)這部片子實(shí)在是罪過(guò),真的。
如果你愿意的話,不妨設(shè)想一下那些電影業(yè)的老大們特別好心腸地拍了一部續(xù)集,讓我們跟隨弗林特(比爾·哈德?tīng)柵湟簦┡c他心愛(ài)的珊·史巴克(安娜·法瑞絲配音)以及那群活蹦亂跳的配角一起回到大燕鎮(zhèn),再次面對(duì)上一部電影的惡行(遺留下來(lái))的景象——食物開(kāi)始演化,而且有了感知力。不,這并不僅僅是一個(gè)源自你內(nèi)心自我的狂熱美夢(mèng)。這是一部貨真價(jià)實(shí)的《天降美食2》。
在經(jīng)歷了第一部動(dòng)畫(huà)當(dāng)中那場(chǎng)災(zāi)難性的食物雨之后,弗林特與朋友們被迫離開(kāi)小鎮(zhèn)。弗林特接受了其偶像切斯特·V的邀請(qǐng),加盟生命作物公司——該企業(yè)致力于將小島清理干凈,而且擁有全世界最好的投資者,為改善人類生活創(chuàng)造新科技。弗林特發(fā)現(xiàn)他的機(jī)器還在運(yùn)作,如今居然創(chuàng)造出食物與動(dòng)物的雜交物種——“食物動(dòng)物”,例如活生生的泡菜、餓肚子的墨西哥卷鱷、蝦猩猩以及蘋果餡餅鮪等等。他和朋友們這下必須回去拯救世界了。
