Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs, Phil Lord and Chris Miller, USA, 90 minutes Original English Spoken Version



Based on the much-loved, same-named children’s book by Judi and Ron Barrett, Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs introduces us to an eccentric inventor named Flint Lockwood. He lives in a small town that thrives on canned sardines, but when he invents a machine that turns water into food and accidentally launches it into the atmosphere, it starts raining food. This makes Lockwood an overnight celebrity and object of attention for local female weather reporter named Sam Sparks, but when the greedy Mayor Shelbourne starts overloading the machine, all kinds of food-related havoc ensues.

A visually astonishing, frequently hilarious fairy tale for all ages that contains a poignant commentary about food, consumerism and scientific advancement gone awry, Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs is a wonderful film that resonates beautifully with this year’s festival theme: Science!

Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs has been screened in the Netherlands before, but never in the original English spoken version. For the first time, Dutch audiences can enjoy the original version featuring the voice talent of Bruce Campbell, James Caan, Anna Faris, Mr. T, Lauren Graham and Neil Patrick Harris.

The Secret of NIMH, Don Bluth, USA, 82 minutes

With this adaptation of the same-named, beloved children’s book by Robert C. O'Brien, Don Bluth left Disney behind for greener pastures… literally, by using painstaking colour orchestration to achieve a richness in colour that surpassed that of any film before. Disney refused the film, saying it was “too dark” so Bluth left the company together with fellow film makers John Pomeroy and Gary Goldman. They were soon joined by 20 other animators, who were dubbed the “Disney Defectors”.

A widowed field mouse called Mrs. Brisby needs to move out before the ploughing that will surely destroy her home, but her son is too sick to travel. In search of a cure, she befriends a community of intelligent rats who steal electricity from the humans and use it to power complex machinery. The rats also want to move to be finally free of the humans and they agree to help Mrs. Brisby. However there’s a rebellious faction who intend to use the situation to their advantage to stage a coup.

The Secret of NIMH was the largest non-Disney animated film when it came out in 1982 and even though the film wasn’t a blockbuster when it came out, the critical acclaim was astounding. Don Bluth went on to direct An American Tail and The Land Before Time and more recently Anastasia and Titan AE. He also was responsible for the iconic video games Dragon’s Lair and Space Ace.

Sunday 19 / 14:00 / K3

Raymond Scott was a prolific composer, musician and inventor whose music became synonymous with animated films during the Golden Age of Animation in the ‘30s and 40’s. In the 90’s, Scott’s music had a resurgence in animation through Ren & Stimpy, Duckman and the Animaniacs.

Scott was also a pioneer in electronic music, building a “simultaneous composition and performance machine” called the Electronium and acting as the mentor of Robert Moog, who went on to invent the Moog Synthesizer.

Oh Joy! Dutch animation professionals and comic artists such as Jeroen Funke, Boris Peeters from Lamelos and Udo Prinsen present a collection of their favorite scenes from the funniest show in the whole wide yurld and explain how this cartoon changed their lives.
