What Makes Him Pure Good?[]
Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs[]
- Ever since he was a child, he attempted to create inventions that would help the world and the people of Swallow Falls.
- He created the Spray On Shoes as an invention to help children with untied shoes.
- Throughout his adolescence and early adult years, he created several inventions in his attempts to help his town, and though many of the inventions were defective or ended up causing chaos, it was always unintentional and he did his best to fix any damage those inventions caused.
- He treated his pet monkey, Steve, with respect and equality despite being a monkey.
- He created the FLDSMDFR in order to give the people of Swallow Falls something to eat other than sardines.
- He felt incredible guilt when the FLDSMDFR accidentally destroyed Sardine Land when it was overloaded with electricity.
- He spent the next month taking the orders of the townspeople, making all of them very happy by giving them the chance to eat real food.
- When Officer Earl went to Flint's house to make a request on behalf of his son Cal, in spite of the way Officer Earl had treated him throughout his life, he accepted his request and made it snow ice cream for Cal's birthday.
- He made a Jello castle for Sam out of appreciation for being his friend and supporting him.
- When Sam revealed that she'd been bullied as a child and called names, though he momentarily laughed, he quickly stopped when he saw it hurt Sam's feelings.
- He made a Jello scrunchie and put it on Sam's glasses, calling her beautiful and encouraging her to be herself.
- He took his father out to a fancy restaurant to reveal the news that the mayor had asked Flint to cut the ribbon at the town's grand reopening ceremony.
- After he saw the food is growing bigger, he considered turning the machine off and was reluctantly convinced to keep the machine on after being manipulated by the mayor.
- Though he dismissed Sam's concerns about the dangerous storm cloud out of arrogance, after seeing how large the food had become, he realized his mistake and sprinted to turn off the machine before it could hurt anyone else.
- While he momentarily gave into despair, after being encouraged by his father, he was reinvigorated, downloading a kill code to shutdown the machine.
- When Sam was pricked with peanut brittle and went into anaphylactic shock as she is lowering him down a hole, he cut the rope after telling Brent to take Sam back to the ship to be treated.
- He supposedly destroyed the FLDSMDFR, sacrificing himself to save the world, though he managed to survive.
- After the monkey thought translator revealed Tim's true feelings and how amazed he is by his inventions, he embraced him and told his father he loves him.
Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2[]
- When Chester V told him that the FLDSMDFR survived the explosion and had begun creating half-food, half-animal mutants that were going to spread across the globe, he insisted that he'd shut down the machine again to prevent the foodimals from destroying the world.
- Though he initially became hostile towards Brent after having been told by Chester that he shouldn't trust his bully, after Sam reminded him that Brent had changed, he realized his mistake and later apologized due to being under so much pressure.
- He reluctantly chose to side with Chester against his friends only because he believed the fate of the world was at stake.
- Upon realizing that the foodimals created by the FLDSMDFR weren't dangerous, he tried to stop Chester from shutting down the machine.
- He apologized to a living strawberry which Sam called “Barry” for having misjudged it and the rest of the foodimals.
- He worked with his dad and the rest of the foodimals to break into the LiveCorp headquarters to rescue his friends and the imprisoned foodimals.
- Even while fighting Chester, he went out of his way to apologize to Sam and the others for his behavior, telling them that they're all his family.
- He and the Foodimals defeated Chester, saving them and his friends all from being turned into food bars by Chester.
- He placed the FLDSMDFR back in its original place, allowing the machine to continue creating more foodimals.
- He and the rest of the gang accepted Barb as one of them, forgiving her for having helped Chester for nearly turning all the foodimals into food bars.
- He decided to go fishing with his father after putting it off for so long, then actually enjoyed the activity, asking his father if they could do it all the time, which he eagerly accepted.
