Cloudy with a (big) chance of animation principles.

Squash and Stretch- is shown when different foods are falling from the sky and hitting the ground, squishing then stretching and bouncing back up. This principle is used quite a bit in this movie. squash and stretch is used to show different weights and what some thing is made out of.

Anticipation- when flint is waiting for the foods to come out of the machine with his hands under it. this principle is also used quite a bit when the people are waiting for food to land. anticipation is used to prepare the audience for an action.

Staging- when the mayor is talking to the people of the town before unavailing sardine land. Staging is used to direct the audiences attention to make it clear clear of what is going to happen.

arcs- is shown when flint is running. flints legs are long so the arcs are large. an arc is some thing that follows a half circle pattern.

exaggeration- is shown with the heads and body proportion of all the characters. This principle is shown most often in this movie. this gives the movie character and makes it more cartoon-ish and appealing.

slow in and outs- this is shown when flint is running past the mayor and crowd of people ducking so no one would see him with his machine.  slow in and outs is the movement of the human body, and most other objects needs time to accelerate and slow down. for this reason animation looks more realistic if it has more drawings near the beginning and end of an action. Emphasizing the extreme poses and fewer in the middle.
