7. Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs

Cruel Intentions
Columbia Pictures

The Film

Cloud With… was a charmingly daft animated hit for writer-directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller back in 2009; prompting a sequel of equally engaging daftness four years later.

Will It Work?

If they retain the absurdist charm of the films then this has the potential to rival Springfield as the capital of the cartoon towns.
