Chicken Little Review

Synopsis: As creature features go, lusciously pigmented, child-friendly Chicken Little is no Howard the Duck. But it also isn't quite the computer-animated home run Disney really needs post-Pixar, despite its inclusion of a long baseball sequence, aliens and a whole lot more.

With one of the year's busiest scripts, Little launches 76 zippy minutes by starting with what we know: After Chicken Little causes widespread panic--when he mistakes a falling acorn for a piece of the sky--the young chicken is determined to restore his reputation. But just as things are start to go his way, a real piece of the sky lands on his head.

Chicken Little and his band of misfit friends, Abby Mallard (aka Ugly Duckling), Runt of the Litter and Fish Out of Water, attempt to save the world without sending the town into a whole new panic.

Chicken Little is playing a few venues in 3-D, which really must be something: Even when shown flat, its colors jump off the screen. But even if you were to see the film projected on a tree, it would be family entertainment that will generate thanks from parents.
