“Chicken Little” Movie

Today I saw the movie “Chicken Little”, which featured the voices of: Zach Braff, Katie Finneran, Joan Cusack, Don Knotts, Garry Marshall and Patrick Stewart.

The storyline involved the following: “Based on the classic tale, Chicken Little follows the fable with a few creative freedoms. Chicken Little (voiced by Zach Braff) must clear his name as a chicken who cried ““wolf”” (or rather ““The sky is falling……””). The town turns to chaos over Little’’s claim. When he can’’t prove the incident, everyone thinks the chick’’s lost it. A year later, the stigma still follows him--leading Little to desperately seek acceptance, particularly from his father Buck Cluck (voiced by Garry Marshall). In an effort to seek positive attention, he joins the baseball team and wins the big game. It seems everything’’s going Little’’s way until another piece of the sky falls and, mysteriously, finds it’’s way into Little’’s home. This time, friends Runt of the Litter (voiced by Steve Zahn) and Abby Mallard (voiced by Joan Cusack) bare witness to the incident, which turns into a full-blown alien invasion. What follows is a battle between animals and the unknown.”

I give the movie a “B”, and the movie is worth the price of an admission ticket, a large popcorn and a small soft drink. It was an enjoyable animated film.
