Your Labor Day Cartoon Clip

Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs Deux will soon be upon us.



Sadly, Sony Pictures Imageworks has sent animation work on this feature to Vancouver, where the corporate socialism is more generous than the paltry package California offers. (Like, nothing or close to.)

Happily, a chunk of the work has remained in Culver City. (It seems that Vancouver can't handle as much production as Sony hoped, so back to Culver City some of the cartoon goes.)

The picture comes out in September, and if it dodges what the media has called "the summer animation glut" is known to the animated feature gods but not to us. A lot depends, we think, on whether the picture is any good or not.

Funny how that works.
