Hungry: Fly Me 2 Vegas

Hungry: Fly Me 2 Vegas is a Japanese-American traditionally-animated theatrical comedy-drama film produced by Bossco Studios. It is a sequel to The Adventures of Hungry and the second animated feature in the Bossco lineup. It also serves as the first movie in Generation 1 of the HungryVerse. It was released 3 years after the first one, and on the same day Soap Opera: The Movie was supposed to come out.

Plot
Two years after the third act of the first movie, Hungry and Starving are happily married and living together in his house, remodeled for two people (plus a hamburger). Hungry sets up a trip to Las Vegas, Nevada so that Starving can meet his family. When they arrive, we finally see where Hungry gets his richness from.

They meet Hungry's mom and dad: Tempted and Greedy Forfude, who are displeased that he didn't marry a girl with "higher class." They also can't get past the fact that Hamburger was once homeless at some point in his life. Hours later during dinnertime, Hungry's twin brother Parched comes home from the desert with his traveling companion, Sparkles McTowel. Somehow, he doesn't receive any complaints from either of his parents.

The next day, Hungry, Hamburger, Parched, and Sparkles McTowel go on a morning bro-walk. Suddenly, they get attacked by two cyborgs named Thirsty and Cheeseburger, who bare a striking resemblance to Hungry and Hamburger. They only seem interested in killing just Hamburger, which everyone else soon realizes.

Later that day, Greedy takes Hungry and Parched to the Forfude Family Hall of Gold, which contains thousands of gold bars and money stacks earned by the Forfude family over the years. Greedy tells Parched that his towel friend, Sparkles has a lot of value and that he should sell him. He also tells Hungry that he should sell his house and live with him, Tempted, and Parched in Vegas. Meanwhile, Tempted is harshly critiquing Starving and Hamburger's every move. We cut back to the Forfude boys. When asked about the cyborgs, Greedy admits that they were hitmen he hired to kill Hamburger. Thirsty and Cheeseburger show up at that exact moment, right before Hungry can unleash his rage.

Once again, we have reached the final act. Thirsty and Cheeseburger have gone rogue, with a new goal: just straight-up kill everyone. They snatch up Greedy and Hamburger, and Hungry, Starving, Parched, Sparkles, and Tempted have to be the heroes and save them. They use the gold bars as weapons to throw at the cyborgs, until Starving realizes they have off-switches on their backs that are embarrassingly big and easy to spot. Before they can get to them, Thirsty and Cheeseburger meet their demise from a mysterious dark hand that pops up seemingly out of nowhere...

Crazy Credits
In the aftermath of the dreaded final act, Greedy is thrown in prison, and Hungry and Starving decide to permanently move to Las Vegas.

Then, we get an even longer timeskip, that takes place two more years later. Starving is pregnant with twins and thankfully, Hungry is the father. Hungry's mom, Tempted is now a more pleasant person toward Hamburger and Starving. They are family, after all. Parched and Sparkles McTowel still just hang out around the house. The usual.

In the first post-credits scene, we see Starving's sister, Edacious show up outside of the Forfude Manor with her burger friend, Cathy. Edacious says "I swear, if this isn't it..." And the credits continue.

The second and final post-credits scene takes place in the Forfude Family Hall of Gold. The camera pans down, below ground-level and we see the monster that the mysterious hand belonged to. An unknown man is feeding him metal scraps. "Eat up, Darkness..."

Funny Characters That Say Funny Things
Most of the comedy in this film is carried by Hungry's extremely rude and cartoonishly snobby rich parents who just won't let him be content with the life he has now. The secondary characters are surprisingly toned down a little for this installment. They're still making jokes, just not as often.

Production
The movie took 3 years to make, getting trailers half a year in advance. Because it was further along than Soap Opera: The Movie, which was only in pre-production at the time, it took their release date. Soap Opera once again was unscheduled.

Reception
Reviews for the movie were generally positive. Probably even more so than the first, for the stunning visuals alone. From a HungryVerse debut film standpoint, it was said to be "an exciting setup for an animated cinematic universe. Excited to see where they go next!"

Sequels
Shortly after the movie's release, the third and final film's title was revealed at SoupCon (the Bossco Studios Convention): "Hungrily Ever After." This would serve as the first movie in the Darkness Saga and the second in Generation 1 of the HungryVerse. It was also announced that the Soap Opera Movie would come out before then, but wouldn't be tied to the cinematic universe.
