Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs was released 15 years ago this week. The $100 million Sony Pictures Animation film, based on the children’s book of the same name, grossed $124.8 million domestically and $243 million worldwide. A sequel was released in 2013.

Sigh. There was a time when Phil Lord and Christopher Miller were very celebrated names in the field of animation, but their reputation got tainted after what has been discovered about **Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse**. Like, that film’s production history might even make the production history of **Inside Out 2** look like a picnic by comparison.
