Chicken Little (DVD)

.... . . It was Chicken Little. What I liked first about this DVD was the cover . . . it is an animated film featuring animals and the hero (chicken little) looks funny with unbalanced oversized head comparing his to his tiny and short body. His big round eyes look smaller with those green, nerdy, big-circle glasses fitted into his baby face features! I thought, “Yes, this looks interesting and could keep them busy for a while; at least they might ...
...The Origin of Chicken Little == The story is based originally on an old fable explaining the phrase “the sky is falling” this was used as a common turn of phrase to indicate a hysterical or erroneous conviction that disaster is about to happen and in the chicken little story . . . it’s all about a predictable disaster! There have been two films based on this fable. The first one is pre- World War II (1943) and talked about chicken little who believed ...

Review of Chicken Little (DVD)

It's been a year since Chicken Little caused uproar by claiming that the sky was falling. Ridiculed and mistrusted by everyone in the town of Oakey Oaks, he'd do anything to regain his father's trust. So he doesn't like to mention it when another piece of the sky clonks him on the head. But soon enough he'll have to tell the truth because the falling sky is just the beginning of an alien invasion that will threaten everyone. But can one little chicken ...
...out of danger. Then there's Chicken Little's trip to school that turns into a Herculean task as he misses the bus, gets stuck to some gun, runs into a buffalo, loses his trousers, gets shut in his locker and has to get into the school gym via rocket propulsion. The screenplay by Steve Bencich, Ron J Friedman and Ron Andersons shows the benefits of committee writing. It works on several different levels. While building a simple story about a boy ...

Review of Chicken Little (DVD)

...was the entire point of Chicken Little's story (it's basically a misunderstanding on his part) so exactly what are they going to do with the remaining 1 hour and 19 minutes? Some of the jokes in the background (a bird flying into a window, a bull running a china shop) are going to go unnoticed (it seems you'll have to buy this one on DVD and watch it several times, most likely the commentary will point that kind of thing out). Voice talent includes ...
...but was there to set Chicken Little back to not a loser any more only to screw up in people's minds again, when another stop sign shaped object falls from the sky and hits him in the head. This getting hit in the head all the time can't be good for his brain, can it? When the "invisible thing" kidnaps Fish & leads them to the baseball ground (someone's seen "Close Encounters" and Cruise's "War Of The Worlds" then?) it proves to be aliens invading. ...

Review of Chicken Little (DVD)

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 ...
...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 ...

Review of Chicken Little (DVD)

Chicken Little is one of my daughter's favourite films and therefore I felt obliged to review it for those who are unsure whether it lives up to the hype. Story: Chicken Little is based (loosely I must stress) on the fable of the same name (and also known as The Sky is Falling). Set in Oakey Oaks, a small suburban town, Chicken Little tells the story of the titles namesake and how he believes the sky is falling. He comes to believe this after receiving ...
...an acorn that fell on Chicken Little's head. This results in Chicken Little becoming a laughing stock of the town. The story continues a year later, and picks up with Chicken Little and his pals (fellow outcasts) going about their everyday lives. They are all victims of the local bully Foxy Loxy and her friend Goosey Loosey due to their collective outcast status. The previous events of last year have sent Chicken Little on a mission to regain his ...

Review of Chicken Little (DVD)

...is based on a little chicken who rang the town bell to warn them that the sky was falling but when he took the towns people to the place where he said the sky had hit him no one would believe him and said that it was just an acorn that had fallen and hit him on the head when actually it was an invisible hexigan shape that had hit him on the head. Chicken little told his friends about this shape which turned out to be part of an alien space ship ...
...again no one believed poor chicken little until it was to late as there were space crafts all over town shhoting at everything and everyone. one of the baby aliens had got lost when the space craft took off and now there was an invasion of space crafts looking for the baby. It is down to chicken little and his pals to track down the correct space craft and return the baby alien back to its rightfull parents. Will he be able to return the baby ...

Review of Chicken Little (DVD)

...heart warming tale of a chicken who struggles to get by in a world twice his size can be enjoyed by people of all ages and i can honestly say that the story doesn't once get stale. One year after his infamous "The sky is falling" routine, Chicken Little (Braff) is still a pariah around town, with he and his equally unpopular friends Abby (Cusack) and Runt (Zahn) picked on constantly by the cooler dogs and foxes. But Chicken Little's biggest problem ...

So is there a real threat to the town or is he just the chicken who cried wolf? After embarking on a crazy adventure involving robots, aliens, n a cute little thing which makes you just go "aww", Little and his dad are finally reunited in the this wonderful masterpiece. On top of this i would also like to add that i think ...

Review of Chicken Little (DVD)

...sky has literally fallen on Chicken Little and his father and the community of Oakey Oaks have turned their collective backs on him. He's been turned into a laughing stock. That is, until the sky falls on him again about a year later and aliens attempt to take over the planet. I won't give much more information away, since it'll ruin this little film. There are a ton of voice talents scattered throughout this flick. Zach Braff heads up a cast of ...
...a number of other wonderful talents. The animation is pretty good. Sure, it isn't as vibrant and snappy as Pixar's flicks, but it is sufficient enough to move this tale along. The film runs about eighty minutes, but it moves very fast. Also, there are a few scenes of violence that may turn off the younger crowd, though this violence is shown to be little more than a visual effect in the end. As for the adults, they'll get a few laughs out of this ...

Review of Chicken Little (DVD)

went to watch this movie with the kids and found it to be quite good. not as good though as some disney films but all in all not bad. the only problem i had is my 3 year old found it to be a bit scary with all the aliens. if you were buying this for a child then i would definatley consider the age of that child. my seven year old son though did like the dvd as he liked the bits with the aliens in it . i would probably buy this this dvd but if there ...
...i would buy something else. if i did buy it again i would watch it with the children but only if i was bored. i dont know if my son would watch it again either. certainly not one of the best films that didney has made and to be honest it lacks that certain disney feel which we are all used to watching ...

Chicken Little Is a Movie about a chicken who thinks the sky is falling and no one believes him. They all come to find out that it isnt the sky falling, but aliens! This movie was good for kids, but for people like me, it was very boring and lacked a lot of elements that make a good movie. The acting was sub-par, The graphics were not good for a CGI movie and overall the plot was too short and very lacking. For disney to release a movie like this ...
