THE PLOT:

Chicken Little was always small, even though he's now a teenager, he's still small. Last year a piece of the sky fell and hit him on the head. He sounded the alarm and found nothing, now he learned that it wasn't literally a piece of the sky but a piece of alien camouflage from their ship. But when one of the aliens follow them home it unleashes an attack on the city and only Chicken Little and his friends can stop.

ZEDD'S OPINION:

Okay, even though this doesn't really stick with the true spirit of the original story I still liked it. I liked the characters, I liked the animation and that you can do it even if you are small. These are all good, but I will still have to take off points for this whole "WAR OF THE WORLDS" thing they had going on. 8 STARS

VOLTRON'S OPINION:

I agree with Zedd but I think the moral of the original story was not to believe everything you hear and not to fall into mass hysteria because it might lead to trouble. They didn't go that route and it's all cute with all the cute animal people and kids will love it. But if you want a story with the original moral, you got the wrong story. 7 STARS

ON THE POSSITIVE SIDE (+ HITS):

+ ANIMATION (The animation was very impressive.)
+ CUTE CHARACTERS (All kind of cute characters.)
+ STORY (Thought changed works.)
+ CAST (The voice over cast does a great job.)
+ ALIENS (Were cute too.)

ON THE NEGATIVE SIDE (- MISSES):

- WAR OF THE WORLDS THING (They have this war of the worlds thing which oddly was better then Spielberg's version.)
- LOST MORAL (The moral of not believing everything you hear.)

AND FINALLY...

- NOT FOR EVERYONE (If you were hoping for the original story then you are out of luck my friend.)
