Sony Pictures Animation had commercial success last year with the Genndy Tartakovsky-directed
Hotel Transylvania, they're surely hoping to replicate that this year, which will see them release two new films:
The Smurfs 2 on 31st July and
Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 later (27th September, US/25th October, UK). The less said about the former the better, but
Cloudy 2 has the potential to be a lot of fun, and we'll get our first practical glimpse at it on the 27th of this month!
SPA tweeted the above picture yesterday, promising a the first trailer for the sequel in five days - that has now ticked down to four. I wasn't a huge fan of
Hotel Transylvania last year - the animation was magnificent though - but I am a huge fan of the first
Cloudy film and am eagerly anticipating the second! We got our
first look at concept art from the film last month.
Cloudy 2 sees the return of much of its original voice cast, including Bill Hader, Anna Faris and Neil Patrick Harris; Kristen Schaal and Terry Crews have joined the cast, with the latter replacing Mr. T as Officer Earl. Directing is being done by Cody Cameron and Kris Pearn.
We'll post the trailer as soon as it's up.
