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.

Chicago Reader

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.

Empire Magazine

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.

Rated: 3/5

Slant Magazine

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.

Rated: 1.5/4

Midwest Film Journal

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.

Rated: 3/4

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.

Disney’s first attempt at computer animation. A few laughs are to be had, but overall this is just a mean spirited movie. Chicken Little’s father never supports him until the final act, the kids at the school are all bullies, just because he cried wolf once. The ending reason as to why the sky was falling seemed like a cop-out to me. The animation and character design are not great to look at. There are some creative ideas, but the movie just looks like Disney’s first attempt. Nothing stands out in the voice acting department, except that Chicken Little’s voice (Zach Braff) seemed too old for the character. This movie is not worth your time.

BITE ME HATERS! THESE ARE JUST MY OPINION! Chicken Little is a cute Disney movie that needs more respect about a chicken kid who just wants to prove something to his toxic father and town that he is not an idiot. I really like Chicken Little (the character) I relate to him a lot. I had trouble fitting into society and also had trouble communicating and connecting to my dad just like him. I really felt for his character and he’s just an easy protagonist to like. I really like Chicken littles friends because of how supportive they are. (Yes even the pig who is kinda annoying) and overall I had a decent time watching it. Even though it is known as the 2 most hated Disney movies alongside Home on the Range in the eyes of a lot of people. The fact that Chicken Little is hated alongside Home on the Range is so embarrassing which I did make a Rotten Tomatoes review of. Chicken Little (the movie) gets hated on way too much. #RespectforChickenLittle.

I want to buy as many Chicken Little DVDs and set fire to them all and then go back in time to stop myself from watching this absolute waste of space movie.
