Animated hit Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs is getting a prequel TV series. Sony has announced that it is developing twenty-six 22 minute episodes of the animated series with DHX Media, although there is currently no network attached to the project. This comes after the success of the animated shorts which featured on the Blu-ray extras for Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2. The official synopsis is as follows…
“Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs: The Series takes place before giant food came raining down on Swallow Falls. Flint Lockwood is a high school tween with big dreams. Swallow Falls is a blue-collar town where sardines are driving a booming economy. But Flint suffers from NFD: Non Fish-related Dreams. He wants to be a serious scientist and maybe one day not have his inventions blow up in his face. Along for the ride is Sam Sparks, who’s the new girl in town and the school’s newest wannabe ace reporter. These two outsiders come together for laughs and comedic adventures with all the great characters from the film: Flint’s Dad Tim, Steve the Monkey, Manny the head of the school’s audiovisual, school gym teacher Earl before he becomes a cop, Brent who still models baby wear, and Mayor Shelbourne, who wins every election on the pro-sardine platform.”
