A classic fable gets fused with War of the Worlds in Disney's Chicken Little. In the small town of Oakey Oaks, young Chicken Little (voiced by Zach Braff, Garden State) struggles to live down the embarrassment of having once thought the sky was falling. But when he gets struck again by a hexagonal, sky-camouflaged, hi-tech doohickey, he and his friends Ugly Duckling (Joan Cusack, School of Rock), Runt of the Litter (Steve Zahn, Sahara), and Fish Out of Water discover that aliens are preparing to invade Earth--but since no one believed Chicken Little the first time, why would they believe him now? Though kids will enjoy the bright whizz-bang action sequences of Chicken Little, discerning parents will find the movie tedious. Technically, it has the computer animation quality of Pixar--but with none of their intelligence, heart, or simple storytelling skill. The basic idea of connecting the fable to aliens is amusing, but the script routinely bogs down in clumsy father-son issues that seem like material edited out of Finding Nemo. The jokes rarely have anything to do with the characters, but are mostly pop-culture references that are sadly out of date. The action sequences were obviously created with the inevitable video game in mind, for which the movie is little more than an advertisement. Chicken Little falls flat. --Bret Fetzer

Very Cute!!!
I took my 7 year old son and 5 year old daughter to this movie thinking it was going to be a boring kids movie. Boy was I surpised when I laughed just as much as my kids, may be more. There was adult humor and songs from my past that went right by them but was very funny to me!

Made in 2005 but feels like a good old cartoon
The Disney studios dropped traditional animation. It is, for historical reasons, very sad and this is definitely the end of an era for animation, and cinema in general.

I must say the trailer for Chicken Little did not make this movie very appealing. We took our 4 year old daughter to see it and all enjoyed it after all. The humour is upbeat, no doubt modern, but never trivial or vulgar. The characters play much better than expected (the fish is a truly classic but effective cartoon character) and even though the storyline probably does not go any further than the average"Goof Troop" tv episode, the dialogues and the action surely deliver good entertainment.

For animation fans, which I am, I don't think we should try to compare Chicken Little with a Pixar film for it would not live up to that but still, this one comes highly recommanded.
Unlike some of the dreamworks 3D flicks, Chicken Little has a heart and you can feel that the animators and directors really have a good appreciation and understanding of animation.

A certain heritage and tradition of American animation lives on throught this movie.
Seeing that Disney scored at their first attempt at 3D animation is a relief, now let's wait for their next release to confirm the hopes.

Disconnected nonsense... Can I get my 82 minutes back?
When this was released in theaters, there was so much talk about how this was Disney's first real venture into Computer Generated animation without Pixar. It was Disney's attempt to thumb their nose at Pixar studios and show that they could do good CGI films on their own. After watching it, it's obvious why Disney did an about-face and quietly re-negotiated a new Pixar partnership. It's that terrible.

The "humor" in it will only entertain children or some immature adults. The movie is visually impressive but even that gets boring because the characters are so unfunny. The story is terribly written and should have ended after each 30 minute cycle. My wife actually went to bed during the middle of the film after the aliens were introduced into this disjointed mess. I found myself watching until the end simply to see if it ever got better. Alas, it just kept getting worse.

For years I've said Disney is losing its creative edge, hence all the recent remakes of their own classics (see Parent Trap, Flubber, Dalmations, Herbie...). This clear mish-mosh of Finding Nemo, Close Encounters, ET, etc is chock full of lame attempts to surprise us, but instead adds some credibility to my theory. It's a shame because I'm a huge fan of Patrick Warburton, Adam West, Zach Braff, and the rest of this A-list cast.

Pass on this one and wait for the next Pixar release instead.
