Yes, many, many “foodimals” will be munched on courtesy of Sony Pictures Animation’s Foodimoble tour. Food trucks will be hitting the road in support of the family-friendly animated film Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2, offering up the film’s “foodimals” in “healthy and tasty lunch-sized portions.”

Foodimals are a cross between food and animals, obviously, and the animated sequel includes such bizarre creatures as tacodiles, hippotatomuses, fruit cockatiels, subwhales, and watermelophants. And with the Foodimobile tour, those creations will be served up alongside ordinary carrots, pickles and celery. The tour kicks off today with two trucks heading out – one starting off in Salt Lake City and the other in Miami. The foodimals and other munchies will be given out in lunch boxes featuring the foodimal characters.

The Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 Plot:

Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 picks up where Sony Pictures Animation’s mouth-watering comedy left off. Inventor Flint Lockwood thought he saved the world when he destroyed his most infamous invention — a machine that turned water into food causing cheeseburger rain and spaghetti tornadoes.

But Flint soon learns that his invention survived and is now creating food-animals – “foodimals!” Flint and his friends embark on a dangerously delicious mission to battle hungry tacodiles, shrimpanzees, hippotatomuses, cheespiders and other foodimals to save the world – again!

Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 opens in theaters on September 27, 2013.
