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.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 9, 2023

Outside of a few interesting designs, specifically with the aliens, and a couple of funny lines, Chicken Little is a disaster.

The sky is falling, and so are the fortunes of this substandard animated comedy with each passing minute.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Sep 11, 2020

It is obvious that, when evaluating this first digital proposal from Disney, we must do it in terms that are below remarkable. [Full Review in Spanish]

I would rather stare at a blank wall for 81 minutes.

| Original Score: F | Feb 22, 2019

By a comfortable margin the worst feature to come out of the Disney Studios since they invented the American feature-length cartoon in 1937.

| Original Score: 3/10 | Nov 16, 2010

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.

| Nov 16, 2009

Heavy with the sweat of a studio straining to snatch the kids back by throwing digi-crayons, potty jokes, and disco tunes at the lens

| Sep 1, 2009

A bland byproduct of too many cooks in the kitchen, with not enough ideas on how to bring their different sub-plots together into a cohesive entertaining film for kids.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 29, 2009

Tasteful vocal performances, by a talented cast including Zach Braff, Garry Marshall and Steve Zahn, can't relieve Disney's first inhouse all-computer generated animation movie from its music video trappings and inadequate storyline.

| Original Score: C- | Apr 17, 2009

Easy, quick and utterly forgettable.

| Jan 15, 2008

A friendly, if decidedly featherweight, feature.

| Mar 1, 2007

It lacks a good, old-fashioned story -- the fourth dimension every 3-D feature needs to be a classic.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 22, 2006

Post-Pixar Disney's "Digital 3-D" concept doesn't seem to include any reservations about 2-D character development.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 12, 2006

A cute movie that -- with a G rating -- is suitable for even the smallest children.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 10, 2006

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.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 1, 2006

...amusing, family-friendly subject matter that’s employed to periodically watchable yet mostly underwhelming effect...

| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 25, 2006

...because of its winsome characters, it may appeal to the very young.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Mar 14, 2006

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.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Mar 11, 2006

Not quite the animated masterpiece one would expect of Disney of old, but nonetheless a step in the right direction.
