Chicken Little Movie Review 2005

Disney's first solo (without Pixar) foray into CG animation won't please everyone, but the intended audience of grade-schoolers probably won't notice. Chicken Little (Braff) causes a panic and big trouble for himself when he thinks the sky is falling and sounds the alarm. He spends most of his time trying to live the incident down and build a good relationship with his pop (Marshall) a former athletic hero. When a piece of the "sky" falls on him again, it's up to him and his pals to convince everyone that it really happened, especially when an alien kid gets stranded in town, almost prompting an invasion. Lacks the originality, verve, and adult-pleasing inside humor of the Pixar collaborations, but not a bad first try.
