Young Chicken Little (Zach Braff) throws his small town into panic by claiming the sky is falling. Unable to find the piece of "sky" that hit him, he earns the town's scorn. A year later, outcast Little tries to redeem himself by joining the baseball team, helping to win a crucial game. Later that night he is hit on the head again and discovers that the "falling sky" is actually from a UFO. Now, Little must convince the skeptical town that an alien invasion is about to happen.

Critics Consensus

Disney expends more effort in the technical presentation than in crafting an original storyline.

Animation fans will find this worth the wait, though apparently there's no story-generating software that can tap into the dark recesses of a child's psyche as cannily as Uncle Walt once did.

3/5

Beyond a cheeky, twisty bit of genre-tinkering, there's more here for the under-tens than over-, but it's still charming, amusing and energetic enough to win you over.

1.5/4

Truly there's no sense of calm to the film, which feels as if it's been assembled with the manic energy of a preschooler trying to fit square-shaped plastic toys into circle-shaped holes.

3/4

Kids might see too much silence and thought as something they’d do in a timeout, so the alien frenzy is thrust too far forward. "Chicken Little" still is fun, even if you don’t quite believe all that it’s telling you.

Outside of a few interesting designs, specifically with the aliens, and a couple of funny lines, Chicken Little is a disaster.

The sky is falling, and so are the fortunes of this substandard animated comedy with each passing minute.

Really dumb and blah, but overall harmless

Questo nuovo classico Disney vuole essere anti convenzionale e controcorrente fin dai primi minuti, e vista la qualita' generale dell'intera filmografia a cui appartiene, direi proprio che c'e' riuscito. Il film e' assolutamente pessimo sotto moltissimi aspetti, con una sceneggiatura patetica stracolma di scene infantili e stupide a livelli che non ho ancora metabolizzato del tutto. Puo' anche essere orientato verso un pubblico infantile, ma non spiega in alcun modo le scene davvero atroci a cui dobbiamo assistere, con un umorismo semplicemente imbarazzante. Purtroppo un'entrata da evitare per la Disney, un esperimento completamente fallito fin dal principio.

I dont understand all the hate i love this movie

As much as I like Disney animated films, this is easily one of the worst films they've ever made. Not only is it a poorly animated unfunny kids film that tries to capitalize on the success of Shrek. But it also has a terrible plot, hateful characters, and a message that doesn't flow or prove anything. It is a true mess, and I'm glad Disney doesn't make these kinds of films anymore.

Creative jokes? Nope. Likable characters? Nope? Animation that stands the test of time? Nope. Good music? Nope. So everything you think of when you think of a Disney film this is not.

2 Words: Guilty Pleasure, This was my Childhood, I Loved the Scene where he uses a soda to get inside without anybody seeing his underpants, I Absolutely Loved the Plot of the Film, and it will still be My Childhood to this day.
