About Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs

Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs follows inventor Flint Lockwood turning water into food over Swallow Falls, ending with the machine destroyed and the town saved. The 2013 sequel strands the gang on a living-food island with the machine running again.

Four bonus shorts on the sequel Blu-ray riff on side characters, and the 2017 series rewinds to Flint's high-school years as a non-canon prequel. The films tell one complete two-part story, so watch them first. The series works any time after as a separate version of Flint's youth.

Good to know

The series is a prequel in a separate continuity, so release order is recommended over story order. The four shorts all shipped with the sequel disc in early 2014 and are grouped as one entry here. The series ran two seasons of eleven-minute episodes ending in 2018. No new film or series is announced, so this four-entry list is complete.
