Flint Lockwood's laboratory is the place that becomes the major aspect of the Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs films. It is where he works on his inventions and scientific research. The place started off as a small high-tech treehouse. As Flint grew up it became a water tower, with the ground area covering most of the backyard except the entrance.
Interior[]
Flint's lab began as a small treehouse in his parents' backyard. As Flint grew up, it became a water tower-like structure, with supplies and defunct inventions littering the backyard outside the entrance. Flint has used his own self-taught brilliance to creatively remodel the early '80s-style technology found within the town for his inventions.
The lab is lit with a blue light, giving it a mysterious and cold feel, until Sam enters and the environment becomes warmer.
When the dam protecting Swallow Falls from the mountain of leftovers broke, the lab was toppled by the avalanche of food. As the town quickly grew into a Foodimal Jungle, vines suspended Flint's lab upside-down in midair, with stagnant electrified water preventing access to supplies and equipment.
