THR
Making a convincing case for the possibility of life after Pixar, Disney's technically ambitious "Chicken Little" -- the studio's first fully computer-animated in-house feature -- is a consistently amusing, often inspired family romp.
While some half-hatched plotting prevents it from approaching the sublime levels of a "Toy Story" or "The Incredibles," the picture zips along quite agreeably with a zany energy and vividly rendered, terrifically voiced, madcap characters.
TIME
They are indeed, to judge from the exclusive peek they offered TIME of their
first four CG theatrical features. Disney surely has a winner in its debut
effort, Mark Dindal's Chicken Little, which opens Nov. 4. It's one of the
funniest, most charming and most exhilarating movies in years. And it's
a genuine Disney cartoon, with a storytelling sense and graphic precision
worthy of the old animation masters.
FFC
(negative)
Frantic, frenetic, anxious, obnoxious: the ideal audience for Chicken Little
should be in bed by seven, and Disney's umpteenth cry of "sure-fire
comeback project" looks, appropriately, like another convulsive episode
of corporate crying-wolf. Chicken Little, for instance, makes pop culture
references that don't mean anything in the context of a film whose sole
purpose appears to be instructing your children to be fearful and hyper
.
Now that our review round-up for Chicken Little
is complete, thought it would be a nice finish to point out that Rotten
Tomatoes shows that the film is currently receiving more negative reviews
than positive. In the end, get ready for your animated hit or miss.
The sky begins to fall on November 4th.
