Product Description

Review

In addition to being the infamous delusional cry of the title character, "The sky is falling" was also what some critics thought was happening at Disney, which would explain Chicken Little. But their grumpiness is unwarranted and a little puzzling. There's nothing in this film to suggest an apocalyptic end to the successful formula Disney has used for decades -- in fact, other than a crisp switch to digital animation, Chicken Little is Disney at its most Disney-like. The film fits right in to Disney's tradition of selecting fairy tales and children's stories that are just ripe for revitalization, yet Chicken Little has a space-age feel as well -- literally, as the plummeting heavens are actually the byproduct of an alien invasion. Not only is this a clever idea, but it opens some terrific visual possibilities for robot gizmos, which the animators eagerly bring to the screen. But Disney is still low-tech in its agenda, as the crux of the conflict involves the poultry pipsqueak trying to prove himself to his widowed father. Zach Braff and Garry Marshall make both halves of this relationship work with labor-of-love performances. The world they inhabit is colorful and speckled with different species, and it really has the feel of coming from a storybook -- like if you got to city limits, the drawing might just end. One welcome change is that Disney -- usually so safe on the sidekick front -- deviates from the familiar with two risky choices: a truly ugly duckling named Abby Mallard (voiced by Joan Cusack), and a not-so-runty Runt of the Litter (voiced by Steve Zahn), each of whom takes a little warming up to. That might be the most legitimate complaint leveled at Chicken Little: the whole thing takes a little warming up to. But once it starts to take off, it's pretty darn agreeable. ~ Derek Armstrong, All Movie Guide

3.0 out of 5 stars "Chicken Little" is likely to be forgotten the moment the credits roll, Aug 16 2007

By	Jenny J.J.I. "A New Yorker" (That Lives in Northern Nevada) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)

The kid's fined this enjoyable but not as much. I fear that there aren't many good storytellers left at Disney Feature Animation, and there didn't seem to by any present for the making of "Chicken Little". The story itself, chronicling the tales of the title character proving to his community that he is not a failure, was a good enough premise. Though it wasn't executed well at all. Instead of solid, premise-building scenes where it's main characters interact well with others (and get the viewers laughing along the way), we get a sappy, melodramatic mini-soap with voice actors who don't have a good script...followed immediately by, more times than I'd care to recall, potty humor gags.

This 3D animated movie also presented itself with "Madagascar", "Robots" and "Valiant", that same year. Many companies are trying to prove their movie-making chops to us movie-goers. They can make a very beautiful looking movie, with wonderfully rendered characters that can move so fluidly and realistic...but the very vital element of sharing a good story is missing in action. It's my belief that a great story without great animation will be a much better movie than one that looks great, but has a weak story. Though, both elements are what made Pixar's "The Incredibles" an Oscar-contending, $265 million hit. Computer animation is, indeed, not the shoe-in, cure-all solution to a great movie.

All in all, I believe "Chicken Little" is a failure that I define as hot having a good story to match its sweet computer animation. In Disney's quest to prove that they are still the "Best of the Best," movies like this will prove to the world that they are merely the best of the rest. And we all know that it's not the Disney we grew up on and cherished.

5.0 out of 5 stars A clever film that deserves to become a classic., Jun 29 2007

By	J. Tupone (Saskatchewan) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This is a very entertaining film. I've watched it many times with my children, who all love it. It is loaded with wit and clever humour that give adults reason to chuckle throughout it as well. The CGI is well done and overall it's a high quality film. Pick it up, you'll enjoy it and so will your children.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good, Fish was awesome!, Feb 11 2007

By	Maurice G. Tousignant "Gilvan Blight" (Canada) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

Quickly: not bad, pretty good animation but very cartoony, Fish was awesome.

Summary: Disney's bizzar take on the Chicken Little story. Something falls from the sky, no one believes it, kids tramautized. He is just starting to get over it with the help of his friends when it happens again. It's not the sky it's aliens! Aliens attack, kid saves the day. That's basically it.

The Good: Fish is awesome. I would love a movie just staring one character, actually I watched the movie twice in a row, one time all the way through, the second time just watching the scenes with Fish. The story wasn't as predictable as expected. The visual effects were rather cool, with some damn nice 3d art. The characters were over the top in a good way, and I especially liked the fact that they acted somewhat like their real life animal counterparts. I liked the fact that little looked like your usual cute geeky kid with glases but didn't act like it. He actually had a bit of Pro in him, and had an attitude, that was a nice change from the ubergeek character I expected.

The Bad: The story was still pretty predictable, though that was to be expected. Some of the visual effects were just too cartoony. I know it was done on purpose, but watching talking animals run around and fight aliens is funny enough, they didn't have to add the cartoon physics.

The Ugly: The caracters looked way too much like something out of Richard Scarry. There are a few scenes that are so cute they are ugly. The alien baby was just a bit too much for me. I could not stand the Runt character. The way he looked was just so overdone it was dumb, his lines were 99.9% groaners, and not in a good way, and his voice drove me nuts.

Overall: really not bad. Better then I expected and I actually laughed out loud a few times. I also groaned quite a bit as well. It was worth seeing, if only for Fish.
