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.

Although it’s a little weird and the characters are vile to look at it’s quite an interesting film. Not sure what’s going on a lot of the time but somehow the producers have the ability to create extremely cute characters and then throw them in a scene with the most insane looking diabolical characters.

Horrifying CGI, unfunny jokes, bland characters, and an attempt at a so-bad-it’s-good tone that just doesn’t work at all.
