After becoming the laughing stock of the town because nobody
believed him when he said the sky was falling, Chicken Little (Zach Braff)
tries to fit in and make his Dad (Garry Marshall) proud of him. But when the
sky starts falling again, he needs his Dad’s support but he just doesn’t
believe in him.
When it was obvious that the ‘sky’ that was falling was
actually a panel that can take on the properties of its surroundings I thought
the film was going to go all Truman Show. That would’ve been better, I think.
Don’t get me wrong, I do love some aliens and these ones were cute but I’d have
preferred it the other way. Imagine if the whole town was a set and everyone in
it had no idea they were being watched, I just love that idea. But I suppose
that’s probably not what a Disney film about a tiny chicken would really be
about. I did like the storyline about
Chicken Little and his Dad. It’s not enough to love someone, you’ve got to
believe in them too.
