The quality and type of artwork is a direct replica from the original movie, which has unique, defining characteristics that helps children differentiate between the various characters and landscapes that appear in the film. The colors of the film are plentiful and vibrant, from the bright, white buildings of San Franjose to the deep, rich brown of the Hippotatomus, which draws the attention of children and keeps it focused throughout the film. Although Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs 2 would fail as an all-age comedy sequel by overusing jokes and puns, not fleshing out the characters, and lacking an organized storyline, these criteria along with its consistency, quality graphics, and light-hearted humor are needed for a good children-oriented comedy sequel. Brian Gibson has written this off as a “Period of Satire, Broken by Scattered Jokes of Varying Quality, Sun-Burning Colour and Sudden Storm-Surge-Pacing”, but that quality is what gives this film its solid foundation for what children-oriented movies should be based
