Excellent, Without a doubt!!

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

I think that the title explains a lot about what I mean to say. This film is a total rubbish: not only because it tries to use Computer Generated Imagery to compete with Pixar's masterpiece The Incredibles (released a year before), but because it has also a rubbish story. I mean: Walt Disney himself tried to adapt Chicken Little in 1940s and he failed pretty badly. So, why Eisner decided to make a full-length movie about this story is a mystery: the book from which this piece of junk has been adapted is very poor and very childish, unsuitable for Disney. But then again, Disney came from a period of turmoil and wanted to try something new (Atlantis and Treasure Planet aren't very Disney-sh?, so I may be able to understand why they decided to give credit to this book. What I refuse to understand is the fact that script is almost inconsistent: I mean, where is the plot, if there is one? Even the best topic in the world (a father-son relationship and its troubles) has been thrown in the bin; this is a film without ideas, without soul, without... Just without: in my honest opinion, Disney could have lived happily ever after without this piece of junk. Honestly I think this is the worst film Disney has ever made: yeah, this is even worse than The Black Cauldron: that film, at least, had a shred of a story, had a "plot". What does this movie say? What message delivers it? "Anybody can be mocked to Death by everyone, but when the time comes they will have Revenge?" Or maybe: "it is not important if you are a bully like Foxy Loxy: in the end you will eventually be transformed in an harmless person"? Or perhaps: "you may be the worst parent in the world, but when time comes your son will inexplicably understand and love you?" What's the point????

Chicken Little causes widespread panic in Oakey Oaks when he claims a piece of the sky fell and hit him on the head. His father Buck "Ace" Cluck passes it off as a mistake over an acorn. One year later, he's a laughing stock and there's even a movie. He is highly inventive but gets ridiculed despite being bullied by some of the kids. He's friends with the other outcasts; ugly duckling Abby Mallard, Runt of the Litter, and Fish out of Water. He finally gains his father's respect after getting the winning hit. When another piece of the sky falls into his room, he has to save the world with his friends while keeping it a secret from everybody else. The sky is electronic and chameleon.The story is a little thin. Chicken Little and his father have a compelling relationship but it does need more layers. As for his friends, ugly duckling is a little too ugly. Runt's proportions are too wrong. I understand the idea but the design feels off. The one I love the most is Fish out of Water. It's a great design and loads of mime fun. As for the animation, it looks a bit too primitive. I didn't know that this is Disney and one can see the attempted transition. It's not the best and inferior to the Pixar of the era.

Disney has come up with very few magical and inspiring animated films in the 2000s, and this one is no exception. Yet another film about talking animals, this story is based on the classic Chicken Little story, but this time, the sky looks like it's actually falling and the little chicken finds himself face-to-face with alien invaders. What resulted is a rushed mess of melodrama, potty humor, annoying characters and a cliché story with no originality, no subplots and no suspense. It's just a little story about Chicken Little trying to impress his father and friends after causing a ruckus about the first sky-falling incident by scoring big at the baseball game. But, when real alien space invaders arrived, it resulted in something like a rip-off from War of the Worlds.Amidst in the plot is this nervous and highly melodramatic pig named Runt and this fish-out-of-water character who tried to be cool, making this movie that much more annoying to watch. And, the soundtrack was one of the most unoriginal I have ever heard, for numerous scenes have rock/pop songs (like Bee Gee's Stayin' Alive, Gloria Raynor's I Will Survive, and Spice Girls' Wannabe) inserted in rather than original pieces of composed music and songs.The computer animation wasn't bad, though, but I would have preferred that CGI be left to Pixar and hand-drawn animation be left to Disney classics. The character of Chicken Little is somewhat endearing and adorable, but unfortunately, that is overshadowed by the rushed & unoriginal plot, unoriginal music, melodrama and insipid characters. The filmmakers tried too hard to make this movie be hip, modern and bubble-gum like a typical Hollywood teenage flick. They completely disregarded that a Disney movie is supposed to have elements like magic, memorable and inspirational characters, a wonderful music score, songs we would remember or love to sing to, a captivating story, adventure and just good old fun. It's hard to imagine that Disney went from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs to this! Not recommended.Grade D---

It's been a long time since I saw it in theaters, and I used to have a DVD copy of it for a long time. I think I remember liking it when I was 7. Finally, after 6 years later since my mom sell it out for a yard sale, because I didn't care about it, I seen it once again on the computer. I didn't like the movie that much now. I don't mean that it's "the worst thing that Disney had ever made", I just thought that even though I didn't think it is as terrible as people seemed to make it out to be but that I do had to admit that it was pretty bad.For the story itself, the premise of course is just from the fable that is based on, but they're two different plots from this movie that are obviously not from the fable itself. One is this baseball underdog story that is pretty much a rip-off of Angels in the Outfield or other baseball movies out there from the 90s. And the other being about an alien invasion trying to destroyed the Earth (or so you think...Spoilers!). At the end when the aliens say that everything was an misunderstanding, and during the scene, the message from the fable about not worrying something of things happening, literally being absent. That wasn't a good thing to remove it at all, Disney.Other than that, the story is cliché and predictable, the characters are obviously stereotypes, the references to better movies and putting pop songs that weren't from Disney were pretty unnecessary, and the tone was pretty mean-spirited if you ask me. But the worst offender of the bunch for me has got to be the main character's dad named Buck. I hate Buck. I never find anything redeemable about him. He didn't have any heart or caring for his son all because of something that he was embarrassed and never cared for his son anymore, and when he does pretend that he loves him (all because that Chicken Little's team won the baseball game because of him), it makes me to hate Buck even more.However, there are still good things about this movie. First being that the animation, while not Pixar of quality, is pretty decent from changing the way to what Disney usually used to make 2D animated movies. The voice acting is great. And it was kinda entertaining and it wasn't all that boring.But all in all, I can't really recommend it. But if you do have kids, it's something for them but other than that, just skip it. It's a pretty forgettable film, and not something that I would watch at certain occasions.Score: 3.5/10.
