A third film with this concept, Zootopia, was released in 2016. This is the second single-story Disney Animated Feature after Robin Hood (1973) to use anthropomorphic characters with no humans. The movie had two game adaptations, one of them based in the movie-within-the-movie. But as the film progresses, Chicken Little and his friends uncover the presence of extraterrestrials in their town and attempt to warn the now-extremely skeptical townsfolk before all havoc breaks loose. They often get teased by Foxy Loxy, a female bully. He tends to hang out with other unpopular kids - such as Abby Mallard (a homely duck girl who has a crush on Little, but he doesn't seem to realize it) Runt of the Litter, a cowardly, morbidly obese pig who can't stop eating and Fish out of Water, who is an actual fish out of water who wears a diving helmet (filled with water) to be able to breathe. ![]() He also has a troubled relationship with his widowed father, Buck Cluck, who cares more about the approval of his peers than caring for his son. In the movie, Chicken Little is a nerdy boy who gets bullied in school despite his cleverness because of that ONE false alarm he created that caused waves of panic throughout the town a year earlier. In the original tale, a little chicken is hit by an acorn on the head and believes that the sky was starting to fall down in pieces he/she sets out to warn the king and is joined by other animal characters, eventually running into the evil Foxy Loxy, who wants to eat them. The 46th film in the Disney Animated Canon, it is based on the fairy tale of the same name, but set in modern times and given a Science Fiction spin. Aliens point guns and a wide variety of weapons towards Chicken Little and his father during an interrogation and threaten their lives.When it comes to saving the world, it helps to be a little chicken.Ĭhicken Little is a 2005 computer-animated film produced by Walt Disney Animation, and is the Disney Animated Canon's first completely CG film not by Pixar, as well as the first CGI non-Pixar movie to Disney as a whole note 2000's Dinosaur had CG characters against live-action backgrounds.Chicken Little and his father are both blasted with vaporising rays and disappear into an alien limbo.Several objects and people are vaporised as an alien invasion attacks the earthlings while attempting to find a missing alien baby.Abby, Runt, Fish and Chicken Little are pursued through the woods and cornfield by enraged aliens who are trying to kill them with blades from the ends of their tentacles.A bully grabs Chicken Little by the top of his head and throws him against a window.Though he is scared and tries to avoid getting hit, everyone violently aims for him. ![]() Runt is targeted during a game of dodge ball.They hit him and knock him down while the children on the bus laugh at him. A bag of acorns is thrown out of a bus window at Chicken Little.In the first scene, there are a series of car crashes and near miss accidents, such as a fire engine taking off the roof of a car while a woman is driving, and a large metal ball careening out of control through the town where it nearly crushes a pram full of baby bunny rabbits.The film contains frequent use of violence that has unrealistic consequences, commonly seen in animation. Some of the violent scenes include: When the aliens fail to hunting down Chicken Little and his friends, they launch an all out alien invasion of planet earth and it is up to an unlikely hero to save the day. When his friends attempt to rescue him, they become the prey of two enraged aliens who believe the group have abducted their child.

Eventually he wins back the approval of society and his father (Gary Marshall), but just when life is looking sweet … a piece of the sky falls on him again. But when the town discovers that it was only an acorn, he is labelled as ‘crazy’, ostracised by the community and, to a certain extent, his own family. When Chicken Little (voiced by Zach Braff) raises an emergency call that the sky is falling, panic erupts all over town. ![]()
