Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Tetrady not as good as all the hype

2freensel I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.

Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) "Chicken Little" is a cartoon from 1943 that runs for almost 9 minutes and has its 75th anniversary this year. It's a Disney production as you can see by the names who made it (Geronimi etc.) and the voice actors (Nash etc.) that all worked prolifically during that time. This one here really is a prime example of cartoons reflecting the current political climate as these were the days of WWII and you can either interpret the fox as Hitler and the title character as one of his aides or you see the fox as ideology and Chicken Little as Hitler. I personally would go with the former. Anyway, the ending shows you that the times of unrealistic feel-good happy endings are over as the people need to make the right decisions themselves and if they don't, then tragedy is inevitable. Also you rarely see psychology as such a dominant aspect in a Disney cartoon. Sure you could argue if the fat rich male cock really should be considered the good guy or if he represents other values worth despising, but lets just accept it this way. I think comedy-wise it may be nowhere near Disney's finest from this glorious era, but in terms of contemporary relevance and symbolisms, metaphors etc. this is an absolute must-see, so maybe it is even a better watch for (film) historians than for cartoon lovers. Anyway, I give it a thumbs-up without hesitation. Go see it.

Michael_Elliott Chicken Little (1943) *** 1/2 (out of 4) This famous tale takes a different meaning as Disney used the classic story for a WWII propaganda short. A fox plans to not catch one chicken but instead catch them all so he locates the dumbest one and tells him that the sky is falling. Soon the rest of the chickens are in a panic thinking disaster really is coming. As the war went on, the studios were becoming much darker in some of the films they released and that included Disney and their children programs. This eight minute short has the famous tale that most people are going to know but what makes this version so good is the incredibly dark and sinister ending. I'm certainly not going to spoil the ending but it packs a punch even when seen today and there's no question that the studio had a message to deliver. The fox character was extremely well-written and there's no doubt that the animation was quite good. Fans of these types of animated films will certainly enjoy it.

Glen Wooten I saw this film many times growing up on, the "Wonderful World of Disney", And is now my favorite Disney film, It has a message that you need to use your brain in this life if you want to survive, and just who can you trust?, And the difficulty in not following the mob.I am angry with the new "disney people" for them making this new "Chicken Little" film .and this mentality that you must have a "Happy Ending" I did not know that it was made as a Propaganda film for World War II . But if you lived through Pol pot , Jim Jones , "The ice age is Coming!"or Piramid selling, you should know that this little "Big" Film will never lose its message, See it yourself.

rebeljenn 'Chicken Little' is a Disney short about the story of a chick who thinks that the sky is falling, and no one believes him. I remember watching this when I was very young -- they used to show this on the Disney channel along with their other older cartoons and cartoon shorts. (I'm not sure if they still show it or not, but Disney have seemed to have moved away from showing their older cartoons.) Generally-speaking, this was a typical Disney animated story featuring a cute little chick and a basic storyline. As it has been years since I saw this, I don't remember too much about it other than the little chick running around saying that the sky was falling, over and over again...and no one believed him. I've since read that there were some political motives behind this cartoon, but I didn't know that when I watched it as a child.I just recently discovered that Disney are going to be reviving / remaking Chicken Little. I hope there are no bird flu jokes.
