SteinMo What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Lucia Ayala It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Aspen Orson There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.

cricketbat Modern Disney without Pixar is like peanut butter without chocolate -- it's good, but it has the potential to be so much better. Chicken Little isn't bad, it just isn't a classic. It's not very memorable. One of my kids enjoyed it, the other was pretty bored. So overall, I'd say this movie is average.

adonis98-743-186503 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+)

FairlyAnonymous 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 but a lot of this film feels many years out of date in terms of animation quality.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.

Anssi Vartiainen I'll tell what this is. It's worse than Home on the Range. It's worse than Dinosaur. It's worse than The Black Cauldron. All of those films have at least something good in them. Home on the Range has nice animation and a good pink elephants scene. Dinosaur has good animation moments as well, and a story that's merely bland instead of awful. The Black Cauldron is baffling, but kind of entertaining in a cult movie kind of way. But this one is simply bad.It adapts the tale of, well, Chicken Little. A small chicken child who hollers for all the world to hear that the sky is falling and that they should all run for their lives. When in reality it was just an acorn falling from an oak tree. The moral changes from version to version, but it's usually that you shouldn't jump to conclusions and not believe everything you're told. There's usually a king they're trying to warn about the sky and an antagonistic fox who tries to eat the chickens, all that good stuff. The movie practically writes itself.But no, this time Disney decided to be... *shudders* ... hip. They have a town, full of anthropomorphic animals, where the original folk tale is covered in the first minute or so. The rest of the film is merely a cookie cutter attempt to do an underdog sports film with the moral that everything will be alright in your life as long as you try hard enough and become popular. And that will solve all your problems, no matter what they are. From an absent father to school bullies to alien invasions. There's no problem being popular won't solve.I'm not the only one seeing the problem here, right? Plus, the film is ugly. This is Disney's first fully computer animated film, and it looks like it. CGI doesn't age well. Any children's morning cartoon nowadays is far superior to this one in terms of animation quality. The textures look fake, the character designs are ugly, they don't move well and it all looks outdated.Chicken Little is not insultingly bad. If you wanted, you can show it to your kids and they won't mind. Even the "popularity above all" message is given enough depth and cross-examined enough that it won't give them any wrong ideas. But it's not Disney. It has none of the charm or spirit the studio is known for. It's a failed attempt to adapt to a new age and it's sad to behold. See it only if you want to say you've seen them all. But please, your kids deserve better.
