===Early Life===
. . .
-----------
Young Flint upset himself because of school. Since he was so young, Fran talked about that being a nerd is alright. After he was mocked and teased at school, Flint realized that he didn't have to involve about it.When he was 8 years old, his mom gave him a professional-grade lab coat to cheer him up, and then told him to make more inventions; so he wrote up a "Best Inventor Ever!" note on a piece of paper and then excitedly ran over to his tree house to finish up his projects.From that moment on, he was determined to invent something great, like "Remote Controlled Television" and onward. Young Flint had a very simple story and a very short voicing process, he also had very small screen time so he doesn't come out much in the whole movie.Young Flint promptly comes of age during the beginning of the movie, but from that point, Flint still had the mentality of a five-year-old, but still remembered not to get upset when things don't go right.Around ten (when his lab was half it's current size that time), he first became Inspired by Chester V as he used to watch his television programs & eat his official Food Bars.
-----------
Flint Lockwood grew up in Swallow Falls, a tiny island whose economy had stagnated once their primary export - sardines - was no longer in demand because "the whole world realized that sardines are super gross." With the stagnating economy also came stagnating technology, and the townspeople prioritized utilitarianism over aesthetic, while simultaneously remaining "stuck in the past," unable to move past the heyday of sardine canning.Flint, inspired by scientists and innovators and encouraged by his mother, sought from a young age to solve problems that plagued the town. When he was 8 years old, he created an alternative to shoes to solve the "untied shoes epidemic." However, school bully Brent McHale humiliated Flint in front of the class by pointing out that Spray-on Shoes don't come off.{| class="fandom-table"|“I wanted to run away that day. But you can't run away from your own feet.”|}his mother Fran reminded Flint that "everyone probably thought that [the inventors you admire] were weirdos too," and presented him with an early birthday present: a homemade lab coat just like the scientists on Flint's posters. Inspired, Flint doodled a poster of himself as the "best inventor ever." The sight of himself among those he looked up to inspired him to "invent something great."Fran died when Flint was around 13, leaving Flint to be raised by his father Tim, who was technologically illiterate and spoke in fishing metaphors Flint didn't understand.Flint's interest in science and inventing was further piqued by the television show "The Scientifically Wonderful World of Science," hosted by the inventor of the Food Bar, Chester V, and his orangutan assistant Barb. Flint continued to invent well into adulthood, creating with a Remote Controlled Television that ran amok and can no longer be controlled remotely, Hair Un-Balder that works too well, a Flying Car that doesn't fly, Steve's Monkey Thought Translator, and Ratbirds.

-----------
He lives in a small town called "Swallow Falls" where everyone has to eat sardines all the time, as no one else wants them after the world realized that sardines were super-gross. So Flint invents an invention to change the town. He creates a machine called the "FLDSMDFR" that converts water into food. While powering the machine with the power plant, he accidentally shoots it up into to the stratosphere destroying Sardine Land. He meets weather reporter, Sam Sparks, who is very interested in his inventions, later revealing that she is also a nerd. The town is renamed to "ChewandSwallow" after his machine produced rain-food and Mayor requests from Flint to make food 3 times a day for 30 days for the grand re-opening of the town. Nobody ate sardines anymore, until FLDSMDFR overloaded and started over-mutating food to gigantic proportions, so Flint and his friends went into the center of the food-storm to stop the machine while the town is evacuating.
----------
Fifteen years after the creation of Spray-on Shoes, Flint's next goal was to invent a machine that would diversify Swallow Falls's diet by converting water into food. When overloading the "power grid" (a network of surge protectors and a tangle of cords) in his lab short-circuits the breakers in his house, Flint uses the grand unveiling of Sardine Land as cover to sneak to the town's power grid. However, he over-powers his food machine, which sends it rocketing across town, destroying Sardine Land in the process, before shooting into the sky. Distraught and humiliated, Flint rushed to the docks and hid beneath the pier by sitting on the ladder.However, this meant that Sam, a weatherperson who was humiliated by the food machine slamming a camera into her face, could not see Flint when she sat at the edge of the pier, kicking Flint in the eyeballs. Sam quickly deduces that Flint was the inventor of the "rocket" that destroyed her career, but while she was reprimanding him and venting about the state of the weather industry, Flint noticed bits of food plopping into the water or splattering on the docks. They quickly realized that by shooting into the atmosphere, the food machine was able to produce large amounts of food using the water in the atmosphere, causing it to rain down on the town.Flint managed to convince his dad Tim that he had the situation under control and that it wouldn't end in disaster, then gave Sam and her cameraman Manny a tour of his lab, explaining the function of his food machine, which he named the Flint Lockwood Diatonic Super Mutating Dynamic Food Replicator (FLDSMDFR). When Sam and Manny expected to film Flint ordering the food, he distracted them with an Internet video of cats and ducks singing a pitched version of "Fight the Power" for three hours while he hastily built a radar dish to send orders to the FLDSMDFR.Now able to communicate, and with a "Dangeometer" to warn him when the food was going to over-mutate, Flint spent the next month fulfilling the town's peoples' requests, including an ice cream breakfast on behalf of Earl Devereaux for his son Cal's birthday. Mayor Shelbourne encouraged Flint to overwork the machine, telling him that Sam's worldwide reporting on the food weather would help market the grand reopening of the town, rebranded as Chewandswallow, to a global audience.At the end of the month, Flint realized Sam had not made any requests, so he made Jell-O rain in the middle of the night, gathered it with his food debris cleaning vehicle the Outtasighter, and pressed it into a giant custom Tupperware mold he made, all in a grand gesture to get to know her better and show his appreciation for making a friend who loved science as much as he did. The two of them bounced in the Jell-O castle, playing in the Jell-O pool and eating themselves silly, then sat and watched the sunset together. Sam admitted that as a child she too was made fun of for her interest in science, specifically weather. She stopped wearing glasses and putting her hair up in a ponytail, and got into the habit of bailing from any "nerdy" comments. Flint put her glasses on and gave her a Jell-O scrunchie to put her hair into a ponytail, then, after a dramatic reveal, told her that "you were okay before, but now you're beautiful." Sam leaned in for a kiss, and Flint puffed up his cheeks, but before they can (sort of) kiss Flint's phone rang and interrupted their date.The mayor told Flint that he would cut the ribbon at the town's unveiling ceremony. Flint treated his dad to a fancy steak dinner at the Roofless Restaurant to share the news, but Tim Lockwood noticed that the steaks were unusually large and warned Flint that the food weather may not be good for people. Flint argued that Tim was the only person in the town who was not happy with Flint's invention, and Tim responded by telling Flint "you look like you know what you're doing, then. I guess I'll just get out of your way."Flint stormed home, muttering to himself and venting about how badly the dinner had gone, before he was nearly crushed by a giant hot dog. Finally realizing his father was right, he attempted to warn the mayor that making so much food was causing the food molecules to over-mutate, but the mayor insisted that the bigger food was better for people. Using Flint's desire for acceptance to manipulate him, he convinced Flint to reluctantly order a spaghetti dinner.At the unveiling ceremony, Sam also confronted Flint, warning him that a storm was brewing, but he ignored her. Flattening his hair against his head, Flint entertained the adoring crowd and cut the ribbon to the town with a large pair of ceremonial golden scissors, used by Brent a month prior to mock his outsider status in society.However, just after cutting the ribbon, the wind picked up, tousling Flint's hair back into its natural spikiness. Realizing that Sam and his dad were right, he shouted to Sam that he could shut the machine off and rushed to his lab to put an end to the food weather. He got sucked up into the tornado and lost his lab coat in the storm. The mayor had been ordering a Vegas-style all-you-can-eat buffet for the past ten minutes, and sent the order just as Flint arrived at his lab. The two of them had a food fight, Flint trying to send a kill code to the machine and the mayor trying to stop him, before the mayor threw a beet (or a radish) at Flint, which missed and destroyed the radar instead, breaking off all communication with the machine.With the storm getting worse and no way of stopping the machine, Flint gave into despair, crawling into a trash can and considering himself a piece of junk, "like all [my] other dumb inventions." Tim, who had found Flint's lab coat in the aftermath of the storm, presented it to Flint, saying "when it rains, you put on a coat." Realizing that he could still use his resourcefulness to stop the machine, Flint created the Flying Car II ("now with wings"), copied the kill code to a USB drive, and flew into the heart of the storm with Sam, Manny, Steve, and Brent.A squad of flying, sentient pizza knocked a window out of the car, creating a vacuum that sucked the USB with the kill code out of Flint's hand. Flint desperately called his tech-averse father at the tackle shop and frustratedly walked him through the process of sending the file to Flint's cell phone via email.Despite his insistence that Brent stay in the car while Sam and Flint destroyed the FLDSMDFR, Brent leapt out of the Flying Car II and knocked the three of them off-course, where they ran into sentient chickens and a chasm of peanut brittle. When Sam pricked herself on peanut brittle while lowering Flint down the hole, which triggers an anaphylactic reaction, Flint cut the licorice rope by biting it and ordered Brent to take Sam back to the car.Alone, Flint faced the FLDSMDFR, which was suspended above a meaty chasm by a translucent white tube-like appendage. Flint entangled the machine with a piece of spaghetti and plugged the phone into the FLDSMDFR's USB port. Unfortunately, Flint's dad had sent the Internet video of "Fight the Power" instead of the kill code. The FLDSMDFR shot the phone into a wall, shattering it, then broke its bonds and attempted to fling Flint into the abyss below.Flint realized he still had one chance left and sprayed a can of Spray-on Shoes onto the exhaust of the FLDSMDFR, pressurizing it as it filled with water but had no way to release the food. Flint dropped into the hole, accepting his fate as the FLDSMDFR exploded. But he was rescued by Ratbirds, who gently returned him to the ground, where he reunited with the townspeople..Using the Monkey Thought Translator, Flint's dad admitted that he had always admired how creative his son was and that every time he spoke in fishing metaphors, it was his way of expressing his love for his son. Sam and Flint reunited, and at long last they shared their first kiss.
===Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2===
After ending of the first movie, as the people of Chew and Swallow rejoice as the machine was destroyed, Flint's favorite inventor Chester V arrives in a holographic form, saying that the US government has allowed them to clean things up, and also relocating the entire people of Chew and Swallow to San Franjose, California, and also giving Flint a chance to work at Live Corp., also promising that the people will be back within a month.As they were relocated, Flint started his new job at Live corp, Sam has been a well-known weather reporter/meteorologist, Baby Brent got a job at a local fast-food chain, Manny got random jobs and Earl became a cupcake staff, along with his son, Cal.Unbeknownst to Flint, the FLDSMDFR survived the explosion and landed in the center of the island, and Chester is determined to find it. Chester invites Flint, his biggest fan, to work at Live Corp, where he meets Chester's assistant Barb, a talking orangutan with human intelligence. Six months later, Flint humiliates himself during a promotion ceremony when his invention "Party-In-A-Box" explodes. Meanwhile, Chester is informed that his search-parties on the island have been attacked by monstrous cheeseburgers that he tells Flint are trying to learn how to swim. Chester then tasks Flint to find the FLDSMDFR and destroy it once and for all with the "utterly irreplaceable" BSUSB. Despite Chester's demands to keep the mission classified, Flint recruits his girlfriend and meteorologist Sam Sparks, her cameraman Manny, police officer Earl Devereaux, and "Chicken" Brent. Much to Flint's dismay, his father Tim joins the crew and they travel to Swallow Falls on his fishing boat.
When arriving, they notice that a tropical jungle-like environment has overgrown the island. Tim stays behind while Flint and the others investigate, finding a vast habitat of living foodimals. Tim, searching for food at his abandoned tackle shop, encounters a family of humanoid pickles and bonds with them by fishing. Chester discovers that Flint allowed his friends to join on the mission and arrives on the island with Barb, chagrined and determined to separate them. After escaping a Tacodile attack, Sam notices that the foodimal was protecting its family, and begins to suspect Chester is up to no good. Flint finds his former lab and invents a device that can track the FLDSMDFR. Sam attempts to convince Flint to spare the foodimals, but Flint is intent on making Chester proud. Sam leaves in frustration, along with the others (including Steve). In the jungle, with Flint separated from his friends, Sam proves that the foodimals mean no harm by taming a cheespider that just appears and revealing that the reason they were attacked was because they were wearing Live Corp backpacks. Upon realizing Chester's intentions, the group is then ambushed by the Corp employees.Flint finds the FLDSMDFR, but notices a family of cute marshmallows gathering around the FLMSMDFR and becomes hesitant to destroy the machine. Chester immediately seizes control of the FLDSMDFR and announces his REAL plot to make his updated line of food bars out of the foodimals. A crushed Flint is tossed into the river but rescued by the marshmallows. Flint is taken to his father, who along with the foodimals, help him infiltrate the Live Corp building that is under construction on the island. Flint frees the trapped Foodimals with the help of barry and other Foodimals and furiously confronts Chester, who threatens to make food bars out of his friends. Chester makes several holograms of himself to beset and misdirect Flint, but Flint uses the "Party-In-A-Box" to expose the real Chester. An army of Foodimals arrive and Flint's friends are freed by Barb, having a change of heart. Chester tries to make off with the FLDSMDFR, but is eaten by a Cheespider. With the island safe from Chester, Flint returns the FLDSMDFR to its place and the foodimals continue to live in peace as more are produced. Flint fishes with his father for the first time, finding it enjoyable despite catching an incredibly tiny sardine.

Upon realizing Chester's intentions and discovering that Live Corp is actually Evil Corp backwards, the group is then ambushed and captured by Live Corp employees.Flint finds the FLDSMDFR, but notices a family of cute marshmallows gathering around the FLMSMDFR and becomes hesitant to destroy the machine. But Chester, revealing his true nature, immediately seizes control of the FLDSMDFR and announces his REAL plot to make his updated line of food bars out of the foodimals. A crushed and betrayed Flint is tossed into the river but rescued by the marshmallows.

Chester makes several holograms of himself to overwhelm and misdirect Flint, but Flint (with help from Steve, who was able to free himself) uses the "Party-In-A-Box" to expose the real Chester and Flint's friends are freed by Steve. Chester tries to make off with the FLDSMDFR, but he gets cornered when an army of Foodimals arrive, he then demands Barb to save him, but Barb, having an change of heart, angrily states that she is a ape, and grabs the FLDSMDFR, Chester tries to go after her, but falls into the snack bar 8.0 maker, he tries to use his holigrams to save himself but he falls right through them, so he prevents his death by retracting his limbs and face into his vest right before he hits the bottom of the grinder. He ricochets erratically between the blades of the machine before he is sling-shotted out of the machine. Chesters thinks he has saved himself, but as soon as he reaches the exit, he gets grabbed by a Cheespider's sauce web and the Cheespider eats him, killing Chester instantly. With the island safe from Chester, Flint returns the FLDSMDFR to its place and the foodimals continue to live in peace as more are born. Flint fishes with his father for the first time, finding it enjoyable despite catching an incredibly tiny sardine.During a mid-credits scene, Barb awkwardly tries to ask a distracted Steve on a date.
--------
Upon finishing their kiss, Sam and Flint began plans to build a laboratory together, which they would call Sparkswood. Earl, Manny, Tim, Steve, and Brent all expressed interest in joining in, but before they could plan in any detail, a helicopter descended, and Flint's childhood hero Chester V appeared. He told the town that Chester's inventing company Live Corp had been cleaning up the leftover food from around the world and that they would relocate the entire town to San Franjose, California while they cleaned up Swallow Falls. He offered Flint a job at Live Corp as a Thinquanaut, and after consulting with his friends to make sure it didn't interfere with their Sparkswood dream, he agreed.Flint was enamored with Live Corp's modern aesthetic, hot lattes, and an environment filled with people who all shared Flint's passion for inventing. Barb gave him a tour of the facility, telling him that to become an official Thinquanaut, he had to submit ideas for his inventions to a yearly competition where Chester V would hand-pick the greatest invention from the submissions and personally give that inventor the coveted orange vest.Over the next six months, Flint submitted several inventions, such as the Invisible Coffee Table, the Fork-and-Knife-and-Spoon-inator, and the Celebrationator. However, the winner of the competition (after a red herring that increased Flint's anticipation) was Flintly McCallahan, a New Zealander inventor who created a car that runs on cute. Unfortunately, Flint had trained Steve to press the Celebrationator's red button and trigger the colorful explosion whenever he heard the word "celebrate," and after an unfortunate choice of wording, Steve triggered the Celebrationator in the middle of the presentation, showering audience members with colorful paint and confetti. The entire fiasco was televised, and, more humiliatingly, Chester glared disapprovingly at Flint during the event, clearly unhappy with the mishap.Later that evening, Barb escorted Flint to Chester's office, which Flint interpreted as a chance for redemption to make up for the Vesting Ceremony mishap. However, Chester had instead invited Flint to his office to reveal that the FLDSMDFR was still running and had mutated half-food, half-animal creatures that appeared to be learning to swim to escape the island and terrorize the mainland. Flint insisted that he would be able to fix the problem and shut off the machine again, and, despite his promise to Chester not to tell a soul about the mission, invited all his friends to come along.To their surprise, in the past half a year, the island had developed entire food-based ecosystems filled with diverse fauna known as foodimals. Flint treated these creatures with skepticism and disdain, while Sam expressed joy and curiousity toward the beings. After a sentient strawberry Sam cheerfully named Barry ate the Bifurcating Systematic Universal Stop Button, they decided to let the foodimal tag along until it "passes" the BSUSB. While traversing the landscape and chasing down Barry to try and get the BSUSB back, Flint and friends awoke a Cheespider, which cornered them and threatened to attack until Chester descended in one of his Help-icopters to come to their aid.After Flint and friends escaped a Tacodile ambush, Sam noticed the foodimal protected its family, and became suspicious of Chester's intentions. Sam attempted to convince Flint to spare the foodimals , but Flint disagreed, still convinced that Chester was right about the danger the foodimals posed to the rest of the world. Unable to come to an agreement, Sam and the rest of Flint's friends left, promising to meet him back on the boat.Flint and Chester located the FLDSMDFR, but before Flint could follow through on destroying the machine, a family of cute marshmallows gathers around the FLMSMDFR and tickle Flint. Flint realized that Sam was right, that not all foodimals posed a danger to the world, but Chester, revealing his true nature, seized control of the FLDSMDFR by using the BSUSB to reprogram it. A crushed and betrayed Flint was tossed into the river but was rescued by the marshmallows and returned to his dad, who had befriended a tribe of sentient pickles.Barry told Flint through a game of charades that Chester had kidnapped Sam and the gang and was keeping them at the factory. With the help of the foodimals, Flint launched himself and Barry into a storage room in the factory using an old sardine statue. Barry freed the rest of the trapped foodimals while Flint went to rescue his friends.With a captive audience in Flint and his friends, Chester revealed his plan to to make food bars out of the foodimals, threatening to do the same to his friends if Flint continued to resist. Chester attempted to overwhelm and misdirect Flint with a horde of holograms of himself, but Flint (with help from Steve, who was able to free himself) used the Celebrationator to dissipate the holograms and expose the real Chester.With the island and his friends safe, Flint returned the FLDSMDFR to its place, where it continued to produce foodimals. Flint fished with his father for the first time, finding it enjoyable despite catching an incredibly tiny sardine. He and his friends finally build their dream in Swallow Falls, creating Sparkswood and living in harmony with the foodimals.

==What Makes Him Pure Good?==
===Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs===
Ever since he was a child, he attempted to create inventions that would help the world and the people of Swallow Falls.
He created the Spray On Shoes as an invention to help children with untied shoes.
Throughout his adolescence and early adult years, he created several inventions in his attempts to help his town, and though many of the inventions were defective or ended up causing chaos, it was always unintentional and he did his best to fix any damage those inventions caused.
He treated his pet monkey, Steve, with respect and equality despite being a monkey.
He created the FLDSMDFR in order to give the people of Swallow Falls something to eat other than sardines.
He felt incredible guilt when the FLDSMDFR accidentally destroys Sardine Land when it is overloaded with electricity.
He spent the next month taking the orders of the townspeople, making all of them very happy by giving them the chance to eat real food.
When Officer Earl went to Flint's house to make a request on behalf of his son Cal, in spite of the way Officer Earl had treated him throughout his life, he accepted his request and made it snow ice cream for Cal's birthday.
He made a Jell-O castle for Sam out of appreciation for being his friend and supporting him.
When Sam revealed that she'd been bullied as a child and called names, though he momentarily laughs, he quickly stopped when he saw it hurt Sam's feelings.
He made a Jell-O scrunchie and put it on Sam's glasses, calling her beautiful and encouraging her to be herself.
He took his father out to a fancy restaurant to reveal the news that the mayor had asked Flint to cut the ribbon at the town's grand reopening ceremony.
After he saw the food is growing bigger, he considered turning the machine off and was reluctantly convinced to keep the machine on after being manipulated by the mayor.
Though he dismissed Sam's concerns about the dangerous storm cloud out of arrogance, after seeing how large the food had become, he realized his mistake and sprinted to turn off the machine before it could hurt anyone else.
While he momentarily gave into despair, after being encouraged by his father, he was reinvigorated, downloading a kill code to shut down the machine.
When Sam was pricked with peanut brittle and went into anaphylactic shock as she is lowering him down a hole, he cut the rope before telling Brent to take Sam back to the ship to be treated.
He supposedly destroyed the FLDSMDFR, sacrificing himself to save the world, though he managed to survive.
After the monkey thought translator revealed Tim's true feelings and how amazed he is by his inventions, he embraced him and told his father he loves him.
===Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2===
When Chester V told him that the FLDSMDFR survived the explosion and had begun creating half-food, half-animal mutants that were going to spread across the globe, he insisted that he'd shut down the machine again to prevent the foodimals from destroying the world.
Though he initially became hostile towards Brent after having been told by Chester that he shouldn't trust his bully, after Sam reminded him that Brent had changed, he realized his mistake and later apologized due to being under so much pressure.
He reluctantly chose to side with Chester against his friends only because he believed the fate of the world was at stake.
Upon realizing that the foodimals created by the FLDSMDFR weren't dangerous, he tried to stop Chester from shutting down the machine.
He apologized to a living strawberry which Sam called “Barry” for having misjudged it and the rest of the foodimals.
He worked with his dad and the rest of the foodimals to break into the LiveCorp headquarters to rescue his friends and the imprisoned foodimals.
Even while fighting Chester, he went out of his way to apologize to Sam and the others for his behavior, telling them that they're all his family.
He placed the FLDSMDFR back in its original place, allowing the machine to continue creating more foodimals.
He and the rest of the gang accepted Barb as one of them, forgiving her for having helped Chester for nearly turning all the foodimals into food bars.
He decided to go fishing with his father after putting it off for so long, then actually enjoyed the activity, asking his father if they could do it all the time, which he eagerly accepts.
