Watch Chicken Little For Free

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

After Chicken Little causes widespread panic--when he mistakes a falling acorn for a piece of the sky--the young chicken is determined to restore his reputation. But just as things are starting to go his way, a real piece of the sky lands on his head. I don't get why 'Chicken Little' is so low in here but anyways i loved this movie then and i love it even more now. I used to have figures and remember playing even the game for it more times than once. The animation is excellent, the voice acting even better and the storyline so adorable just give it a try. (A+)

The Bad:Although I'd rank The Black Cauldron lower (for such dark, scary scenes), this one ranks way down there at the absolute bottom of Disney's barrel. However, rather than scary, this one gets its poor ranking due to sheer petty meanness of the characters. It seems like everyone is cruel to Chicken Little – including his dad! They mock him or sneer at him and as a parent I just felt sick every time this child's dad acted as if he were ashamed of his son. I realize the story creators were probably trying to convey the idea that Chicken Little is simply misunderstood and he and his dad have communication issues, nothing more, but it didn't come across that way to me. The rest of the town felt like a bunch of cruel yet gullible sheep. I mean everyone jeers at Chicken Little, then cheers as he preforms well for them, then jeers, then cheers. Except for the boy's few fellow outcasts who stick with him, everyone else follows the crowd in regards to what they think of our hero and it comes across with a message of "have perfect performance and you will get love and positive attention". Not a great message. The comedy also fell flat for me, failing to generate any laughs.The Good:The animation was okay. Not great, but I didn't find it horrible. The idea behind what the "falling sky" really was is actually pretty cute and clever. Yeah, not much else strikes me as all that good.The Mom view: I hate movies (or books) where the main character is treated with unjustified cruelty by others – especially when it is for an extended time. I don't think that this movie models good behavior or healthy relationships. I don't want my kids to see bullying (especially by adults) as acceptable behavior, even if there is eventual 'justice' (and may I just say that the female getting her mind 'adjusted' in the end is more horrific than anything she ever did!). I won't let my kids see this movie – Yuck!

In 2005, Disney really hit rock bottom when they felt the need to pander to its audience the way a Dreamworks movie of back then would, by releasing Chicken Little. Originally intended as a tale starring an overreacting grim female chicken going to summer camp where she would uncover a nefarious plot planned by her camp counselor against her hometown, Michael Eisner suggested it to the film's writer and director, Mark Dindal, to change Chicken Little into a male because as Dindal recalled, "if you're a boy and you're short, you get picked on." The result is a poorly made, unfunny, pandering mess that feels more like it came from some second rate CG studio trying to copy the Dreamworks formula.The story at first seems to be about the titular character Chicken Little as an underdog trying to overcome the incident of scaring the town over an acorn that he felt came from the sky, but then he joins the baseball team, and then the sky turns into aliens, and meanwhile the main character is trying to win a relationship with his father, and.....yeah, the movie doesn't know what to focus on. The father-son relation is passable as a subplot, but if you can't decide between baseball and aliens, then you really should have rewritten this and tried again. If that's not enough, for a movie that throws a lot of jokes out, barely any of them hit the mark, with mediocre visual gags, animal jokes that don't make sense (a fish drives in a water bowl car, how does he get out though?), horrible pop culture references, and really bad one-liners. When the funniest character in the movie is a fish literally named fish out of water, there's a problem.You'd think this movie would at least look good visually, but considering Disney made this without the help of Pixar, the animation sticks out like a sore thumb. The characters look ugly, the movements are wonky, the colors don't mix well, and while the effects animation is well done, it doesn't impress me as much as it should. I will admit though, the designs of the aliens do look pretty unique, and I don't think I'll ever see any designs like that ever again. But the worst aspect of the film is how mean spirited it is. In shows like The Simpsons and South Park, while the characters are a bunch of moronic jerks, they're played out so hysterically that there's no way you can take them seriously, and they always know when to relent on their actions and let the main characters shine. In this film though, not only do the townsfolk berate Chicken Little so much that it becomes sickening, but they only congratulate him when he succumbs to stuff that they desire, like winning a ball game. Even after he saves the town, it feels like nobody learned anything, and even the father....wow. I mean, there's being neglectful, and then there's trying to distance yourself as far away from your son as possible. The father may have seen the error of his ways, but I still fail to see any sort of dignity in him given how little he seems to acknowledge of his son, even when the son needs him most. Thus, even when he apologizes and makes up with Little, I felt no sympathy and only wanted to fry him up for dinner.Overall, it's a good thing Pixar and Disney have been working together creatively and visually over the years, because this was a sour way for Disney to enter into computer animation. Not only is this movie unfunny, pandering, stupid and unfocused, but it's just ugly in visuals and in tone, and I've never felt so disgusted watching a Disney movie in my life, which shows how the movie being a bad adaptation of its source material is the LEAST of its problems. It's a good thing Disney has given us better talking animal films like Robin Hood, The Lion King and Zootopia, because this was a bad egg that should have been smashed rather than hatched.

This might be a controversial opinion, but I loathe this movie in every way. The CG is badly colored, the characters are horrible, spiteful, and VERY unlikable. Never in a Disney movie have I ever felt such a mean-spirited vibe.This is BY A MILE the absolute worst movie from Disney. The moral is horrible, it teaches kids that you need to assault the unpopular, throw things at them, and neglect them to be cool.Chicken Little's father is a awfully made character, he neglects his child and publicly embarrasses him. You know what? I hate EVERYTHING about this movie, from the characters, to the message, to the lazy animation. Please Disney, stick to movies with good morals and likable characters to avoid piles of garbage like this.
