This is one of my favorite animated movies ever. The original idea for the movie is fantastic and it carries a noble, enriching message. I used it to practice restrictive relative clauses.
I. Match the machines Flint Lockwood invented with what they can or can't do.
1. Spray-on shoes
2. Remote control television
3. Hair un-balder
4. Flying car
5. Monkey thought translator
6. Ratbirds
7. A machine
( ) It translate thoughts
( ) it turns water into food
( ) It can't fly
( ) they can fly
( ) it can walk
( ) they don't get off
( ) it grows too much hair
II. Now combine both parts, using restrictive relative clauses. Start the sentences with the given sentence:
He invented...
Ex: 1. He invented spray-on shoes that don't get off.
2 ....................................................
3 ....................................................
4 ....................................................
5 ....................................................
6 ....................................................
7 .....................................................
III. Work in small groups. Think about 3 perfect inventions. Then write a relative clause saying what it can do.
Ex: We are going to invent a machine that can do the homework for us.

Wow what a creative idea to teach grammar!!!Amazing...Animation Movies will certainly have positive impact and improvement on grammar
Thanks a lot! Glad you like it.
sound doesn't go with video, pls fix
Something wrong with your equipment. Sound is perfectly fine.
I'm also having trouble with the sound - the sound file doesn't match the video file in the embedded video. I tried to dl the file, and it was all static :(

Thanks for the feedback. The problem was not the sound, but the subtitles. Unfortunately, I had to remove them to be OK. Try it now, please.
Hi Claudio, it seems that there is an extra sheet on the Meat Balls`s which is related to use of adverbs of frequency with the movie Fame.
Best regards, congrats for your work!
It has been fixed, Chrytian.
