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 The jokes rarely have anything to do with the characters, but are mostly pop-culture references that are sadly out of date.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

 Good family fun June 23, 2009

As an artist, I have my share of animated movies for their quality animation, story lines and their vivid colors. This movie fits all those categories as well. It's fun, entertaining and colorful. Highly recommend it.
 Lower your child's self-esteem with Chicken Little! June 21, 2009
Alex Bodnar (South Central LA, CA USA)
I read all of the 1 star and 2 star comments and was shocked that no one mentioned the real problem of the movie...Everyone is just plain mean to Chicken Little. Why? Even the dad openly says that he's embarrassed of his kid. You would think that he would be extremely protective of his son ever since the wife's (hen's) absence. Chicken Little is surprisingly strong-willed despite the fact that everyone in the town considers him to be crazy and a loser. Other than the fact that he's small the characters all promote bullying. And what was the redeeming factor of the movie? The lead chick tells his dad that "he's never there for him." Duh. ... My daughter is 2.5 and really didn't get the story. All she saw was bright lights, loud noises, and cute animals. She obviously liked the movie. There's no way I'll show this to her when she's older. I can just picture her asking me, "How come the daddy chicken hates Chicken Little?" ...umm
Not Just for Kids! June 9, 2009
Tekrad (Ft.Lauderdale,Fl)
Don't mistake Chicken Little for a "Kids Only" type of movie. It satisfies viewers of all ages. The Blu-Ray PQ is of reference quality and is a great way to show off the color palette that HD is capable of. The sound quality was great(DD5.1). I cannot rate the uncompressed audio since I am unable to decode with my receiver. It's a "must-buy" uplifting title for all ages!
Chicken Little March 21, 2009
Roberta C. Gintz
This is a great movie for adults as well as kids. I have seen it 5 times and always will watch again when my grandkids watch it. As soon as it starts we are glued to the screen. My only complaint is one song that could have been left out called, Do you want to be my lover. Enough said.
Delightful, good lessons February 26, 2009
H. Livingston (Littleton, CO USA)
This movie is very entertaining for my 3 yr. old grandson, and for his grandparents as well. The story is easy to follow, moves along to keep our attention, and the characters are endearing.
There are morals to the story, like, don't doubt yourself, stick with your good friends, parents aren't perfect, etc. There are lots of quick comments and jokes that keep us amused (through the many replays).
I'd recommend it to anyone with children.
