Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs: The Series

Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs: The Series is an American-Canadian series based on Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs and its sequel. It was created by DHX Media and includes two seasons of twenty-six 22-minute episodes done with traditional animation instead of CGI. The show takes place roughly seven years before the events of the first film.
== Series description ==
From the press release:
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.
== Development ==
Sony Pictures Animation and DHX Media signed a deal to co-produce 26 22-minute episodes in 2014.https://variety.com/2014/tv/news/cloudy-with-a-chance-of-meatballs-tv-series-1201325948/ A sneak peek of the series aired on February 20, 2017 on Cartoon Network, featuring clips from the episode "Who You Callin' Garbage?" 
Cloudy: The Series faced very strict budget constraints, meaning the creators of the show were limited to a 2D animation style instead of the 3D CGI animation used in the films. The budget constraints also limited the environment designers and the writers, limiting the number of locations and the types of jokes that could appear in the show.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HTqNAhRzQn4 
As part of the marketing for the show, YTV released a series of "Open Mic Night" videos featuring Flint, Tim, Sam, Gil, and the Mayor. In addition, there were also character introductions that delved into the lives of the main cast, including a welcome video of Swallow Falls itself. 
The show's first run on Cartoon Network in 2017 was unsuccessful, so the show moved to Boomerang in January 2018. In February 2018, DHX announced the second season of the show.http://www.animationmagazine.net/tv/dhx-serves-up-second-helping-of-cloudy-with-a-chance-of-meatballs/
Cloudy: The Series only released the Halloween special and its first Christmas special on physical media, both releasing in October 2017.
