2005/12 Chicken Little

Chicken Little is a computer-animated film released by Walt Disney Pictures in 2005. It was directed by Mark Dindal and holds the distinction of being Disney's first fully computer-animated film made without Pixar. The film marked a new direction for Disney Animation as it transitioned away from traditional hand-drawn animation. The story follows Chicken Little, a young chicken who causes panic in his town by claiming the sky is falling. After being ridiculed, he tries to redeem himself. When he discovers a real alien invasion, he and his quirky friends—Abby Mallard, Runt of the Litter, and Fish Out of Water—must save their town and prove that he was right all along. While Chicken Little received mixed reviews from critics, it was a moderate box office success, earning over $300 million worldwide. Though not a classic, it played an important role in Disney’s shift toward CGI animation. ...Show More
