Cartoons have always been full of all kinds of weird and whimsical ideas, and this time in "Food Falls from the Sky", the story is even more unconstrained: A satellite that can make food, continuously dropping delicious food for everyone to enjoy! Regarding this story, Chris Miller, who served as the screenwriter and director of the film, said: "This story was told to me by my parents when I was very young. It used to be my bedtime for a long time. The best memory. The original idea was to make this movie a live-action movie, but later we found that the effect might not be as good as a pure 3D animation, so we later decided to make this movie a full-scale movie. 3D movie. Looking at it now, this decision is very correct, because it is difficult for me to imagine how a live-action movie would describe the feeling of so much greasy food hitting people, which would definitely make the audience feel uncomfortable. , and using animation to express it makes it much easier."
After working in movies, Chris Miller mostly worked with animated movies, so he was very interested in "Food Falls from the Sky". He also seems to be very familiar with the production: "This movie needs to have a lot of interesting and good ideas put together.

This is a fun cartoon that must make the audience feel like they are in an amusement park and feel the constant excitement in a movie theater. "
As for the "fun" of the film, Anna Faris, who is responsible for dubbing, also felt very deeply: "In the recording studio, the director kept asking us to dub. It needs to be 'fun', the tone should be light and lively, and the joke dialogues in the script should be suitable for all ages, so the dubbing work of the whole movie seems quite relaxed and the whole recording studio is often filled with laughter." /p>
Film: Technology First
Another aspect of "Food Falls from the Sky" that attracts attention is that the film uses many new film technologies to produce it.

Rory Brewer, President of Global Distribution Department of Sony Pictures Columbia Pictures, said: ""Falling Food" is a fascinating and exciting movie. It is a 2D stop-motion animation full of science fiction, but in the IMAX 3D theater, the audience will personally feel the feeling of food falling from the sky to their knees."
"Food Falls from the Sky" adopts IMAX at the technical level. film shooting technology. Regarding this film, IMAX CEO Richard L. Gelfond said: "Sony's upcoming new film is an excellent family film.
