Reviews
the cinematic equivalent of a battery-farmed egg: not exactly rotten, but surrounded by dozens of others just like it in appearance, shape and taste.
It lacks a good, old-fashioned story -- the fourth dimension every 3-D feature needs to be a classic.
A cute movie that -- with a G rating -- is suitable for even the smallest children.
...overall lack of substance ultimately lends the proceedings a vibe of irrelevance.
...because of its winsome characters, it may appeal to the very young.
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.
Not quite the animated masterpiece one would expect of Disney of old, but nonetheless a step in the right direction.
The animation is colourful and lively, if uninspired, but there are several good sight gags and the characters are both funny and engaging.
This film confirmed Disney's suspicion that conventional animation is dead, but audiences will flock to any digitally animated film, even an inferior one like 'Chicken Little.'
So this new Chicken Little is a hero, of sorts: a feisty little nerd in green hipster specs, who bounces off walls and babbles like Woody Allen.
