Chicken Little
Dir: Mark Dindal
2005
**
I love the original story of Chicken Little, couldn't we at least have a faithful adaptation before the full blown cheap update? I loved the opening sequence, the 'how to begin a story' idea was one of many clever tricks the film had up its sleeves. The animation, voice talents and general humour was of high quality, it's just the story that let the whole production down. They even make light about the ridiculousness of modern day updated versions but it didn't come across to me as a particularly clever joke, more of a we're really just in this for the money gesture and to hell with the fans.
