Sony has released the first trailer for its upcoming animated feature, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2, which hits U.S. theaters later this year.

Directed by Cody Cameron and Kris Pearn -- the story artist and head of story on the first Cloudy feature -- the sequel sees Bill Hader return as Flint Lockwood, who has to return to his old stomping grounds after discovering that his food-creating device has been spawning some deliciously bizarre new species.

Anna Faris, Neil Patrick Harris and Andy Samberg return for the sequel, joined by Terry Crews. Overflowing with food and animal jokes, the trailer should be a treat for the younger set. Watch it, below:
