This is crazy. The first cgi movie from Disney, compared to their newest one Zootopia, and you can see JUST how much have grown

6 year old: That was a great movie! I want to watch it again! 12 year old: Umm ok? This isn't as good as i remembered it but it is still ok? 23 year old: This is garbage!

That moment when you realize that a movie you used to like as a kid isn't as good as you remember.

It's really too bad that Treasure Planet, and Brother Bear didn't do so well. I rewatched them, and I think they are great!

'One little slip' is litterally best part of the movie

It happened. It actually happened. Animat is actually reviewing Chicken Little.

Chicken Little is basically the movie equivalent of a season 8/9 episode of Spongebob. Not the worst thing ever, but definitely not that good, and the tone of everything holds it back.

The thing about Chicken Little that really angers me actually isn't the quality of the final product. It's the quality of the final product compared to what it had started out as. If you watch the deleted scenes and behind the scenes featurettes of the film, you can see they started with something that had so much potential. Originally, Chicken Little was to be portrayed as a neurotic girl who panics over nothing like a noise that she thought was a monster of the night turning out to be her father getting a midnight snack. Also, there is another deleted scene that actually portrayed Buck as a somewhat loving, yet incompetant, father by attempting to make breakfast for his son and shooing away the paparazzi because they are embarrassing his son and there was a Russel Crowe joke that, I admit, made me smile a bit. Seeing those scenes really made me hate the movie even more and it even made me angry at Disney for a while. It could've been a Disney classic instead of the shit it is.

At least the baseball thing came in handy in Kingdom Hearts 2.

Still better than Norm Of The North...

Because of this movie, I thank my parents every day for having to see this dumpster fire and not abandoning me in the theaters. Love you, Mom and Dad.

Treasure Planet and Brother Bear deserves so much more love!

I remember back in the mid 2000s, the merchandise always depicted Buck Cluck with a snarl on his face. Watching it in theatres at the age of 4, I honestly thought he was the villain of the movie up until…aliens.

I'm seriously shocked that you didn't do a full rant on Buck. Every other person I've seen who've reviewed Chicken Little would often rant and yell out loud on how despicable and unlikeable he is. Oh well, nothing can be done.

The baseball scene was funny and was included because it was Chicken Little trying to solve everything by recreating his dad's life, but it shows just copying someone and doing what they do does not solve your own unique problems.

This wasn't the first cgi film Disney made without the help of Pixar; dinosaur was.

By the way, it's really sad that this was from the same guy who directed The Emperor's New Groove.

You've come a long way, Disney. :)

To sum it up, Disney played with a new toy without reading the instructions

And somehow this birdbrain was one of Sora's summons...

Why the hell did I like this movie as a kid? O_o

honestly, I'm kinda curious if they could re-animate the film today with a better story and more developed characters.

I thought the baseball scene was supposed to show how Chicken Little thought being popular and accepted would bring him closure, when really the only true acceptance he needed was from his father.

This movie looks as if "Jakers" had ten more Dollars added to its animation budget.

This is one of a small group of movies that are my personal guilty pleasures.

This film gets worse as you get older, while films like Incredibles and Coco get better as you get older.

After watching Zootopia, I'm very disappointed in myself that I used to think that this movie was amazing.

Another good part about this movie was at the beginning when they showed the clip of Indiana Jones. What’s actually funny about it is that this film was released in 2005, seven years before Disney bought Lucasfilm, so basically they had to pay for a failed joke.

I still like this movie but I hate the mean spirited in this movie.

This film is the epitome of everything that can go wrong with a post-Shrek CGI film.

This was the Shit when I was little, Now it's just Shit when you look back at it. But the Video Game is still cool on PC.

When I was little, they used to show this and the incredibles at my doctor's office. It got really boring and I asked my gram,"When am I getting my shots?"

I remember I had the book version of this, and I actually copied it word for word for a paper I had to write. And this was when I was in 2nd/3rd grade, and I'm about to graduate in less than a week. Hard to believe time flies so quickly.

Heh, I found The Jimmy Neutron Movie much better than this! Lol

8 year old: Must watch 9 year old: MUST SKIP 11 year old: why am I here 15 year old: i feel a bit of nostalgia but still same as 11 year old

I was hoping you'd mention the Chicken Little short. I love that short film!

And this is why we are so grateful for Zootopia today. I'm serious, that movie had everything this movie should have.

this is zootopia done horribly wrong

Ah. The worst Disney movie ever.

storks did a great job of doing cartoonish style animation as for chicken little, it only showed it can look bad instead of doing it right.

Next is Sword in the Stone Also, I enjoyed Chicken Little, but can totally understand why people didn't like it.

I atucally enjoyed this movie when I was young, I watched this over and over, but after I watched it again when I was 15, I could now see why this was considered as Disney's worst.

Interesting fact: This movie was directed by the same guy that directed Cats Don't Dance and The Emperor's New Groove

I actually really like this movie, but it's probably just because I remember watching it when I was younger.

I'm not gonna lie this is #4 on my list of worst movies that I've ever seen-right behind the live-action Cat in the Hat, Elf Bowling: The Movie, and The Drawn Together Movie: The Movie (yeah..the latter two I saw ironically, after Mr. Enter said that he was planning to review them). Animat pretty much hit the nail on the head with this movie's problems: the animation really shows that it comes from people who lack experience (a large part of that having to do with many professional animators leaving the company and most of the work being in the hands of more ameturish ones), there's barley has a plot, hardly any jokes are funny, Buck Cluck is one of the most horrible asshole fathers in fictional media, and the characters are just too nasty to Ckicken Little-without giving us any real legitimate reason! Even with him winning the baseball game, you just get a bad feeling thinking about the implications of how they would have treated him if he didn't win the game! Even in the Simpsons episode where Bart is nearly driven to suicide by the rest of the town, that episode at least had the courtesy to have Marge call the townspeople out on their behavior, which is something essential that this movie forgot to do! Thank God things got better for Disney after John Lasseter became the cheif executive and upped the company standards. They managed to get back on the right track with Meet the Robinsons, which, despite several structural problems, has much more heart and a better sense of morality to it than Chicken Little. BTW, I look forward to see the Sword in the Stone review.

"For every second that it has, it tries to throw in as much visual gags, slapstick, and pop-culture references as possible." I think I'm having Hoodwinked 2 flashbacks...

The coach’s line, “Chicken Little, you better have a good explanation for this!” must be his own summary of the whole movie and it’s reputation

This movie predicted iPads

What I think actually allowed Disney be as great today was them firing Michael Eisner as CEO. He is pretty much the reason Disney was in a dark age at the early 2000s, he forced many mandates, made executives make all of the creative decisions, forced the film makers and animators to change things, generally having a big ego, and nearly burn bridges with Pixar. Things got better after he got fired and Bob Iger took his place who has done the opposite of Eisner and allowed the film makers and animators to do their own thing, allowing John to run the animation division in the first place, and finally bringing Disney and Pixar back together.

If Screen Junkies did an honest trailer for this film they should call it "Bad Zootopia"

What’s crazy is that there was a movie called “My Peoples” was scrapped in favor of this movie.

9:57 Ugly ducklings face is the face Animat made when watching this movie.

My husband still hates that Chicken Little is a summon in Kingdom Hearts 2, and I can't blame him... This movie is awful :P

I'm actually glad this movie succeeded in the Box office. According to Disney, if this film bombed it would have meant the PERMANENT END to Walt Disney animation studios and all animation done by Pixar. In short if this failed, we wouldn't have Tangled, Frozen, Princess and the Frog or Zootopia.

I think Zootopia is an apology to this movie.

Best Disney Movie: The Lion King (1994) Worst Disney Movie: Chicken Little (2005)

I agree with you all the way. Screw this movie so hard (no offense to anyone who likes this film). I consider it Disney's attempt to copy Dreamworks Animation's formula of using pop culture references (since at the time, DA was Disney's biggest rival), and it has bad characters, especially Buck. Thank you for giving this film the AniMat's Seal of Garbage.

Am I the only one who sees the shot of Chicken Little's butt at the end of the review as a metaphor of Disney making an ass out of themselves?

My inner Hipster is calling and he says "I Love This Movie And I Don't Care What They Say"...

Animat: this is Disney’s first time to play with their new toys Dinosaur: Hold My Beer

I think that treasure planet was really good and deserves more attention. Give it a look if you can.

I HATE THIS MOVIE WITH PASSION!

This movie is the disney equivalent of a middle aged man gagging on a Dorito in order to look hip and cool in front of his kids

I find it weird how the chicken managed to get in Kingdom Hearts 2.

This review was released on Friday the 13th-bad luck day

Still better than Home on the Range

Me as a toddler: love it Me as a kid: netural about it Me as a teenager (now): dislike it

Story: 8/10 Animation: 10/10 Characters: 9/10 Score: 9/10 (Great)

I heard that this movie was technically trying to imitate the same concept Shrek had, with parodying the fairy tale genre and incorporating many pop culture references. There's many other movies that try to be like Shrek, Hoodwinked, Happily N'ever After, all of the movies by the "Unstable Fables" company. I remembered seeing Chicken Little, and I loved it. Then as the years went by, I started to hate it. The funny thing is, the reason why I started hating it was not because I realized how much of a douche-bag Buck Cluck was, or the story, but because I just got tired of it for watching it too much. I know😂. If you're looking for a better fairy tale parody movie that isn't Shrek, go watch Hoodwinked. It came out the same year and is MILES more better than Chicken Little, because at least it has a story and characters who aren't complete jerks.

Mys scores: Story: 10/10 Animation: 9/10 Characters: 10/10 Songs: 8/10 Total: 9/10

The guy who sings "One little slip" plays Butch Flowers from Red vs Blue by Rooster Teeth

For Disney, this film truly was one little slip

*I honestly liked this movie when I was younger*

I remember enjoying this as a kid now after rewatching it I realize it was just one big acid trip but Fish out of Water is a classic and I love him

I freakin loved this movie... But...even I'll admit that the flaws are more obvious when you're older. Still, this will always have a special place in my heart.

I think disney had a good excuse for the animation. Not only because its there first CGI movie but also because disney had to work with what they had. Plus there use of CGI has grown over the years

What really makes this worse is another film with a more interesting premise was cancelled in favor of Chicken Little. It would have been a mix of CG and 2D animation.

I'm trying to figure out what the next movie is.... is it "The Sword in the Stone"? (I'm just basing this off the music in the background.)

''Don't believe everything you read Brother''

Now I know how PhantomStrider feels about this film.

Sweet, Sword in the Stone! I like trying to figure out if scenes were recorded before or after the kid went through puberty.

This movie is a guilty pleasure of mine

Now, 2022, comparing their first 3d release to their newest, Encanto, what a journey

I remember how much this was hyped up in the mid-00s, when I was little. Even then, I used to watch the adverts and think it looked bad. I've never seen it, but when I first saw the advert for it, I was having difficulty working out where the story was.

This is the only "bad" movie that you've reviewed that i've watched before (multiple times when I was like 8 or 9) and…LIKE I DON'T KNOW HOW TO FEEL I LOVED THIS MOVIE WHEN I WAS YOUNGER. I can see how logistically it's not a film with great Disney quality, but I somewhat have a soft spot for it because of the way it made me crack up every time i watched it. And despite the bad story layout, you kind of have to admit that at least the writing was decent and not dumbed down in any way.

You perfectly got why this movie fails on so many levels. I would have given it a lower score, but hey, to each his own. I look forward to your thoughts on Sword in the Stone, an imperfect classic that's a million times better than anything Chicken Little gave us.

Story Time: So imagine this. I was a 5th grader and it was near the end of the school year. My school librarian decided to bring all the fifth graders into the library to watch a movie. I was kinda in a grumpy mood because there were about 250 5th graders in a single room. Granted it was a a really big library but still we were shoulder to shoulder. Originally we were going to watch a Box Car Kids movie but the librarian said that it was really boring and decided to watch Chicken Little. When I heard those 2 words I almost died a little inside. Half of the room whined for a couple of seconds. After the movie I was sitting with my friends at lunch and they were completely fine when I was still stunned at how horrible it was. I did see it a couple of times before but it still surprises me how bad this movie is.

what makes me sad/mad about this movie is that originally this movie was going to be about henny penny a girl who suffers from a overactive imagination and most likely anxiety and she had to go to summer camp to try to be a better stronger chicken and they find out the foxes who own the camp are trying to eat them but no one believes them other than his friends so its up to them to save the day and also the dad wasnt a shallow dad who only liked his son when everyone else did he was more tired because of his daughters action at times ( she kept beating him up because she thought he was a monster) but he did try his best and there was also a mom there as well but due to the new boss he changed the entire script to cater to boys more. i wish we got henny penny instead of chicken little because i really relate to her and a bunch of others probably would too its a real shame

I used to love this movie as a kid, but now that I'm older, I absolutely can't stand this movie. In fact, I think that this is the worst movie Disney has ever produced. It's so bad, that I consider it in the top 15 worst animated films I've ever seen.

4/10 is too nice for this animated trash.

7:27 if you look closely and turn down the playback, you see that the sheep teacher just sort of pops into frame out of nowhere

i actually agree with that end stinger, WHAT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT??

Can you review dreamwork’s failure, Shark Tale

A 6/10 for the animation? I think it deserves a 4/10. It looks cheep and amateurish like alpha and omega

That seal sound effect makes me jump every time

I dunno, I still kinda see why I liked this as a kid. It's easier to look past bad graphics when you're young, but of course millions of other problems. I still agree with my first sentence.

I actually enjoyed this film, and the animation still is good. You see, their just trying, they just never made a CGI film since Dinosaur. Here are my ratings of it Story 6/10 Animation 7/10 Characters 9/10 Total 7/10 Not as good as the ones from the past, but it will be reaches the goodness of Atlantis The Lost Empire

Also the "better version" that he mentioned is actually a propaganda cartoon Disney made during World War II but I totally agree it's much better than this one

This is more like if they ignore the fairy tale aspects, modernized it (at its time), throw in filler and gags, and made a parody of The Day The Earth Stood Still. This is how bad the movie is.

I remember when I was a kid, I was completely disinterested in seeing this film, and was more interested in watching Disney’s direct to video sequels. Not a good sign.
