In 1943, Walt Disney produced a short film based on the fable Chicken
Little (aka Chicken Licken), which tells a story about the
consequences of falling for hysteria. During the Walt Disney company’s more
experimental years, they decided to release another take on the same source
material in 2005, simply titled Chicken Little. I will admit I only
recall ever seeing maybe parts of the movie beforehand, and even then, what I
remember the most was the marketing for it around that time (I recall not being
that enthusiastic about actually watching it when I was a kid), as well as a
cameo appearance from some of the characters during a televised awards show.
After watching it in full through a Disney XD airing, I will say it was
somewhat better than I expected from it, however, it’s definitely not one of
Disney’s stronger animated films.
