After Chicken Little causes widespread panic--when he mistakes a falling acorn for a piece of the sky--the young chicken is determined to restore his reputation. But just as things are starting to go his way, a real piece of the sky lands on his head. I don't get why 'Chicken Little' is so low in here but anyways i loved this movie then and i love it even more now. I used to have figures and remember playing even the game for it more times than once. The animation is excellent, the voice acting even better and the storyline so adorable just give it a try. (A+)

I remember seeing this movie when I was a kid (10 years old) and thinking that it wasn't too bad of a film. I knew it wasn't Pixar grade material or anything like that, but I thought it was fun and enjoyable, while a bit overly simplistic and predictable.However, upon rewatching it, I can say that this film has not aged well. The most noticeable aging problem with this movie is the animation itself. A lot of the characters walk around with a bug- eyed look and the movement is very mechanical at times. Granted, this movie wasn't on the budget of Finding Nemo (EDIT: NO! This movie had almost twice the budget of Finding Nemo! Where did the money go?) but a lot of this film feels many years out of date in terms of animation quality. Again, this is an older film, but the biggest issue is the movement itself. A lot of the characters move in very strange ways that look and feel unnatural. A good chunk of the character movement doesn't feel quite finished in terms of fluidity.Animation aside, let's talk about the actual story. Hoodwinked! proved that a good story and clever writing can make up for bad movement and animation. Unfortunately, Chicken Little's story is very small in structure and in scale. Things happen very quickly, but not much is actually happening to progress the story. For instance, almost nothing really happens to move the plot forward until about the 35 minute mark. The first 35 minutes are essentially: Chicken Little is a big screw- up and is trying to impress his dad who has insanely low expectations of his son. Almost none of this is really important to the big "What If" question: What if Chicken Little really saw aliens? While this beginning 35 minutes is important for "Father-Son bonding" it just doesn't feel very interesting. The plot to this movie essentially needs to be redone from the ground-up (for the most part).Even the story's weaker plot could work is the characters were a bit stronger... largely the father. Chicken Little's big dilemma is that his father has no respect for him. His father literally throws Chicken Little under the bus whenever something happens. What is even worse is that his father IS THE REASON CHICKEN LITTLE IS MADE FUN OF! Yeah, it is sick. No one thought Chicken Little was insane or making things up, until his father says "My son just made this all up, he must be a little crazy, see, nothing to worry about". This is a glaring issue in the plot where you cannot respect the father to any degree, even after he supposedly redeems himself. What would fit the plot better is if the towns people assumed Chicken Little was crazy (Foxy?) and then the father goes with it. That would be understandable. However, as is, the father is mildly evil.The other characters in the film are mostly just a combination of pop-culture gags and don't have any actual depth. Surprisingly, though, the character who is the most interesting and reasonable is Abby. While the character design intentionally ugly, the character herself isn't a bad one and seems to be the smartest. I think she is ultimately the best character in the film. Sadly, the film ends with a forced romance with all of the characters. Hints of Abby and Little's relationship would be okay, but the way it goes is a bit over-the-top. It feels more like a check-box that needed to be crossed off.Is there good in this film? Yes. Some of the gags are funny, but the greatest thing in this film is the aliens themselves (until they are revealed). The aliens are really cool and have a neat design. Their legs move like wires connected to hydraulic pumps that spring out to grab things, but then always spring back into a neutral position when not in use. It gives them a very mechanical, yet fluid feel.All in all, Chicken Little is not a great film by any means. The second half is much stronger than the first half, mostly due to aliens and such, but it doesn't save the film because almost all of the character development is based off bad characters. Cool aliens, and a couple of humorous moments, but nothing overly good in this animated film.

This movie came about during a tumultuous time at Disney. The sky is indeed falling for Walt Disney Animated Studios in the early 2000s due to a number of their hand-drawn animated films, being box office flops. They were truly hitting rock bottom, whilst their partner Pixar ride high on the money train with several box office. With increasing pressure from their main rival DreamWorks Animation and a soon-ending deal with their pals at Pixar. Walt Disney Animated Studios took a gamble, and made their first fully computer animated film, the 46th animated feature in the Walt Disney Animated Classics series, Chicken Little. Sadly, that gamble didn't pay off. Loosely based off the fable with the same name, this movie marks Disney's second adaption of the source material, the first being a 1943 short cartoon made during WW2. While, the first movie was somewhat a semi-good adaption; this movie directed by Mark Dindal was not. What made, the first movie so good, was its strong themes within its smart dark comedy. I love how that film, tackle the idea that fear-mongering weakens the war effort and costs lives. It was a very strong allegory to the dangers of Nazism. In my opinion, Chicken Little seem like one of those traditional fairy tales that shouldn't be made into a movie, due to the fact, that it isn't much of a story, but if it was, it should be portray, similar like this. Sadly, this movie didn't follow that direction, and went ahead with a dumber version. In this reimagining, a well-meaning chicken boy named Chicken Little (Voiced by Zack Braff) mistakes an alien invasion for falling skies. While, this warning, ruin his reputation within his town, the courageous chicken must learn to come to the rescue of his fellow citizens when aliens do start to invade. Can Chicken Little save his town or will the aliens gain the upper hand? Watch the movie to find out! Without spoiling the movie, too much, I found the movie to be somewhat poorly written. Not only does the film has five writers to write it, the film story seem like a carbon rip-off, of Nickelodeon Movies 2001's hit film, Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius, mixed with Dreamwork 2001's hit film, Shrek. There isn't anything original with the concept. The changes, they did make, weren't that great, anyways. I didn't mind that Chicken Little was a boy rather than a girl named Henny Penny, but I did hate, what the film did to Foxy Loxy (Voiced by Amy Sedaris). Her character wasn't evil. I would rather have the male fox lawyer, instead. Also, where in the hell is Cocky Locky, Skunky Punky or Hoggy Groggy? Why are those supporting characters missing? Also, why are other Aesop's fables, characters in this film? What does Ugly Duckling (Voiced by Joan Cusack), Fish Out of Water, and Runt of the Litter (Voiced by Steve Zahn), have to do with Chicken Little? While, the voice acting is alright, the uninspired pastiche of catchphrases and clichés, with very little wit, inspiration or originality make this animation, somewhat confusing to watch. Why would, talking animals know, human songs like Spice Girl's Whatabe, or Gloria Gaynor's I will survive, anyways!?! Another thing, I really don't like, is how the film is full of mean-spirited dialogue, somewhat dark sci-fi overtones, and excessive amount of pop culture references. It makes the film, really jarring to watch. One of the biggest mistakes; this movie does, is forget what were the morals of the original tale. The original fable is supposed to be interpreted as a warning not to believe in everything and how not to jump to conclusions. This movie doesn't do that. It does the opposite. It's tells, the audience to believe in everything people tells you, no matter, how crazy, the statement might seem! Yes, it's good to have, some trust in people, but not, everybody is trustworthy. Also, I hate the idea that film is telling parents to believe in everything that their children is saying. There isn't nothing, wrong with a little bit of doubt, and questioning within family units. If any, the movie should be telling parents, to leave, some room for trust, and some room for some doubt, and how not to distance yourself, from your children, when dealing with the public. Honestly, if Chicken Little felt like, his father, Buck Cluck (Voiced by Garry Marshall) was embarrass by him, due to the sky is falling, accidentally. I would think, he would try to proof his doubters, wrong. Instead, the movie doesn't bother, having Chicken Little show his father, proof. The movie just brush it by, and hides it. The majority of the film, is spent on Chicken Little, trying to make his father proud of him, by joining a baseball team. It felt like film patting. Don't get me wrong, it was entertaining, but the whole baseball scenes could have been dropped. It didn't add anything. It was a time waster. The ending to the film is also a problem. It's very anti-climax. Other things, that I didn't like, is the CGI animation. Since, the movie was made, without the help of Pixar. It really doesn't look like the animators did much work, making the film look realistic. The CGI looks cheap & generic. This film did brought about huge change in its wake. Since the movie looks like crap. It helped convince Disney, not to cut ties with Pixar. Instead, Disney tied the knot when the company buyout Pixar in 2006. Overall: This film is generally considered to be one of the worst entry in the Disney Animated Canon, and I have to agree. I would rather have seem the original draft, which had a young girl who went to summer camp, over this. Sadly, this movie will just too disappointing to ever, make me watch it again. It's a pass for me.

Next autumn Chicken Little will be 10 years old.The movie laid forgotten, as a long row of animated animal movies followed like The Wild.Releasing the movie under the 2005 Harry Pottter movie could had been the wrong move.This is about Chicken Little that causes mayhem is in his city filled with anthro animals, as he says the the World is ending.As said the World nearly ends with an alien invasion.But Chicken Little and his friends saves the day.The movie ends with the animals singing Don't Go Breaking My Heart by Elton John.Despite the movie is a mess, and there are too much going on at times it's not the worst Disney movie ever.If you and your Family love some Innocent CGI animal fun try to find this movie at the second hand stores.7/10
