An animated movie based on a popular kids’ book, “Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs” (Sony, 2009, $39.95) is one of top the latest releases on Blu-ray.

“Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs” is about Flint Lockwood, who lives in Swallow Falls, a town located on an island in the Atlantic. The town’s big business is canning sardines and shipping them everywhere. Then, the factory shuts down and the people in Swallow Falls are left with a diet of nothing but sardines.

Flint, an inventor, is going to remedy the situation. He plans to make a machine that turns water into made-to-order food. Never mind that his previous inventions, such as spray-on shoes and a remote control that causes the TV to walk over to the viewer so he or she can change the channel, were failures.

However, this one actually works. After a rough start, the machine launches a huge cloud and it starts raining cheeseburgers. The citizens of Swallow Falls are ecstatic to be able to eat something besides sardines. Soon, Flint has other foods pouring down on the population.

It’s a fun film for all ages. Besides the Blu-ray disc, a regular DVD and a digital copy of the film also are included.
