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.

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.

3/5

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.

1.5/4

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.

3/4

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.

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.

Why Chicken Little Is the Greatest Movie of All Time (Obviously) Chicken Little is the greatest movie ever made because it has everything: baseball, aliens, invisible spaceships, talking animals, and one chicken who spends the entire movie proving everyone wrong. It teaches an important lesson: if everyone thinks you're crazy, just wait until the aliens invade. The characters are unforgettable—a duck with braces, a giant scared pig, and a fish that somehow has more personality than most movie characters without saying a single word. The movie somehow goes from a small-town sports story to a full-blown alien invasion in the most ridiculous way possible, and it actually works. It's funny, chaotic, surprisingly emotional, and ends with Chicken Little going from the town's biggest joke to its biggest hero. Is it actually the greatest movie of all time? Maybe not. But if you ask Chicken Little fans, the answer is absolutely yes.

The original Zootopia of the chicken that seemingly cries wolf about an alien invasion for their missing child. The movie references carried this movie.
