Sunny Sound for 'Cloudy 2'

c2meworld.com: Put a group of award-winning motion picture sound professionals in a room with a bunch of fruit and vegetables and what do you get? The answer is the soundtrack to Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2, the newly released sequel to Sony Pictures Animation’s 2009 feature. In the original Cloudy, inventor Flint Lockwood’s food replicator goes out of control, raining giant food down on the inhabitants of Swallow Falls. Cloudy 2 picks up the action soon after, with Flint and the gang setting out to save the world from the food animals—“foodimals”—that the machine is now creating, including fruit cockatiels, shrimpanzees, hippotatomuses and the giant tacodile supreme.

I think it's pretty cool that they went and recorded the soundeffects using food. I wonder how many of the sounds actually match up to the food which is supposed to be moving. It's great how they have figured out a way to mix things so that the orchestra doesn't need to be as loud to be heard. That can be a problem in various movies, and can be even worse with voices.
