A year later, outcast Little tries to redeem himself by joining the baseball team, helping to win a crucial game.

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. Go to Full Review
Olly Richards Empire Magazine 04/01/2006
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. Go to Full Review
Ed Gonzalez Slant Magazine 03/11/2006
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. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review
Carson Timar ButteredPopcorn 01/23/2023
Outside of a few interesting designs, specifically with the aliens, and a couple of funny lines, Chicken Little is a disaster. Go to Full Review
