Description
Brent was the official mascot of Baby Brent Sardines and during most of his life. He also was Flint Lockwood's bully but eventually became his friend after a serious change of heart.
History
Early life
In his infancy Brent McHale became the official mascot of Baby Brent Sardines and quickly became considered something of a town mascot and local celebrity in Swallow Falls (and their only "celebrity"). Having acted as the company's promotional figure as a baby and appearing in all their commercials and ads gave Brent an extremely pompous and narcissistic personality.
Even after his infancy and the company's shutdown, he still played the part of Baby Brent in public and was considered a famous icon in the town beloved by all, despite the company never even using the adult Brent in any of their ads.
Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs
Brent McHale continued to ride on the infantile fame and people would still adore it when he wore a diaper and made the same pose as in the company's logo, despite the obvious ridiculousness of his age and girth, and women even seemed to be attracted to him.
Brent McHale's fame soon faded after Flint Lockwood created the FLDSMDFR. Initially desperate to reclaim his old glory, he decided to give it up once he witnesses the food-based calamity that's happening around not just Swallow Falls, but also the entire world, which, unbeknownst to him, was heavily caused by his old mentor Mayor Shellbourne with the use of that machine.

In the sequel, Brent helped Flint and his friends find the FLDSMDFR in the Foodimal Jungle.
Personality
Brent was at first arrogant, and only cared about his fame for as long as he could ride it out. Initially he looked down on people he considered different such as Flint Lockwood, describing them as nerds and knocking over the pile of sardine cans he spent all afternoon stacking. Brent was gullible and childish such as always wearing a diaper even when he wasn't being his character, Baby Brent and admiring the Mayor of Swallow Falls despite his obvious manipulations and uncaring attitude towards Brent. However, as Flint Lockwood's fame grew Brent became overshadowed, he had to develop his own personality outside of Baby Brent, in which he decided to give up in reclaiming his overall fame for being Baby Brent.
After accepting himself as "Chicken Brent", he later became much braver, loyal, and selfless, defending Sam and Flint from man-eating chickens and working together to save the world from the FLDSMDFR, thus completely establishing his own redemption from being the old narcissistic Baby Brent that he was before.
