Plot Summary
Chester V, the CEO of Live Corp and Flint Lockwood’s childhood idol, offers his company’s services to help clean up the island, while temporarily relocating the town’s populace to San Franjose, California. Chester hires Flint to work at Live Corp, and Flint strives to receive a promotion. Six months later, Flint is publicly humiliated when his “Celebrationator” invention is accidentally set off while the promotion is being given to another employee. Chester later informs Flint that the seemingly-destroyed FLDSMDFR is still functioning and creating sentient food creatures known as “Foodimals”, one of which attacked his employees stationed on Swallow Falls.
Chester tells Flint that he needs to personally travel to the island, find the FLDSMDFR and insert a USB flash drive-like device known as the “BS-USB” to shut it down. Flint takes along his pet monkey Steve, his meteorologist girlfriend Sam Sparks, her cameraman Manny, police officer Earl Devereaux and former Swallow Falls mascot “Chicken” Brent McHale. Flint also reluctantly accepts the help of his widowed father Tim, who takes them to the island using his fishing boat. When Chester learns that Flint is not alone, he and his much-abused orangutan assistant Barb gather some of their employees and follow.
While Tim stays on the boat and befriends some living pickles, Flint and his friends work their way through the jungle-like environment of food that now completely covers the island. They encounter many foodimals, including a living strawberry Sam dubs “Barry”. A Cheespider, the foodimal that attacked Chester’s employees, chases the group before Chester arrives, scaring it off and joining the mission. Sam becomes suspicious of Chester’s motives, as his claims about the foodimals being dangerous do not align with her observations. Flint is too afraid of failure to listen, eventually leading Sam and the others to go off on their own.
