When Chicken Little first hit our screens in 2005 I don't think it was generally met with as much anticipation as the Disney films before it. However I thought it was actually quite alright and bought the DVD! The film may be an animated children's one but, personally it does seem to be geared towards the whole family being able to watch it and I think this is what gives it a certain appeal.

The story:
Chicken Little is a young fowl who has a vivid imagination. He one day thinks the sky is falling when an acorn falls on his head and starts a whole panic in the town of Oakley Oaks where he lives with his Dad, Buck Cluck and friends Abby Mallard, Fish out of water and Runt of the litter. The whole town like to bring up the incident at any opportunity when they realise what has actually happened and so when aliens actually really do invade the town, no-one believes poor Chicken Little. It's up to him and his friends to save the town from attack!

The cast:
Quite a lot of well known actors and actresses do the voices for the characters in this film and the main ones are listed below -

Chicken Little - Zach Braff
Abby Mallard - Joan Cusack
Fish out of water - Dan Molina
Runt of the litter - Steve Zahn
Foxy Loxy - Amy Sedaris
Buck Cluck - Garry Marshall

Obviously Zach Braff is quite well known as an actor but back a few years ago when this film was released I didn't really know much about him so didn't recognise the voice. Joan Cusack is probably the voice I most recognised.

Extras:
My DVD only has one real extra which is the sneak peeks of upcoming films so nothing special unfortunately!

Overall opinion:
I really did think this film was quite good as there is quite a bit of humour in it especially from the character of Runt of the litter. I do generally like the modern Disney films as find the better animation to be enjoyable to watch. I like the storyline which from looking into it seems to have originated from the idea of if you lie too many times then when you do tell the truth no one will believe you. It seems the story was adapted from this but rather than poor Chicken Little lying about things, it seems he just gets it wrong all the time and so everybody sees him as that silly little chicken and laughs at him!
I think it is a good one to watch if there are older as well as young children viewing it as it can keep the interest of both and also means that adults don't find it boring either!

The DVD is available to buy from various high street and online stores and expect to pay around the £12 new so it might be worth looking at auction sites to get a better deal.

The film is rated 'U' so is suitable for everyone.

I don't know why but this just doesn't appeal to me, I don't like Zach Braff much anyway, great review though
