Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Chicken Little is a 2005 computer-animated film produced by Walt Disney Animation, and is the Disney Animated Canon's first completely CG film not by Pixar, as well as the first CGI non-Pixar movie to Disney as a wholenote 2000's Dinosaur had CG characters against live-action backgrounds. The 46th film in the Disney Animated Canon, it is based on the fairy tale of the same name, but set in modern times and given a Science Fiction spin.In the original tale, a little chicken is hit by an acorn on the head and believes that the sky was starting to fall down in pieces; she sets out to warn the king and is joined by other animal characters, eventually running into the evil Foxy Loxy, who wants to eat them.In the movie, Chicken Little is male, a nerdy boy who gets bullied in school despite his cleverness because of that ONE false alarm he created that caused waves of panic throughout the town a year earlier. He also has a troubled relationship with his widowed father, Buck Cluck, who cares more about the approval of his peers than caring for his son. He tends to hang out with other unpopular kids — such as Abby Mallard (a homely duck girl who has a crush on Little, but he doesn't seem to realize it); Runt of the Litter, a cowardly, morbidly obese pig who can't stop eating; and Fish out of Water, who is an actual fish out of water who wears a diving helmet (filled with water) to be able to breathe. They often get teased by Foxy Loxy, a female bully. But as the film progresses, Chicken Little and his friends uncover the presence of extraterrestrials in their town and attempt to warn the now-extremely skeptical townsfolk before all havoc breaks loose.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })The movie had two game adaptations, one of them based in the movie-within-the-movie.This is the second single-story Disney Animated Feature after Robin Hood to use anthropomorphic characters with no humans, and a third film with this concept, Zootopia, was released in 2016.Note: Disney had already adapted the Chicken Little story once before, as a 1943 animated short parodying, of all things, Nazi propaganda. See the bottom of the page for tropes relating to that version. | |

End of an Age | |
| Chicken Little / Disney / int_1bc2e445 | comment |
End of an Age: In a sense; the film was one of the last to come out of Disney's Dork Age and followed a long string of films that were either financial flops or critical failures, which saw Disney's shares and appeal drop dramatically following the close of the Renaissance Era. It was Chicken Little among other such films that prompted Roy E. Disney to oust Michael Eisner from the studio, ushering in Eisner's second banana Bob Iger and lifting Disney out of its long slump. | |

Only Sane Man: Cocky Locky the rooster is far smarter and more rational than the rest of the flock, easily discrediting Foxy Loxy's initial attempt to use Chicken Little to stir a panic. Consequently, Foxy Loxy's next plan is to discredit Cocky Locky and ultimately knock him out before the fowls make their panic-stricken flight from the farm to the fox's den. | |

Gory Discretion Shot: Once the panic-stricken flock has fled into Foxy Loxy's cave, he wraps a napkin around his neck and shoots inside, blocking it off from within with a boulder. The next shot is of Foxy Loxy sucking a final wishbone clean before planting it in the ground next to the others, in a shot deliberately reminiscent of a wartime cemetery. | |

Break the Cutie: The premise of the movie is a cute little chicken making a mistake which follows by him getting ostracized by the townspeople, not letting him live it down.

Disproportionate Retribution: Chicken Little's innocent mistake of believing the sky is falling after getting hit in the head by an acorn is treated as the biggest, most shameful and embarrassing thing done known to man, with the townspeople refusing to let him live it down even one year later. The word "overreact" doesn't do it justice. | |

Adaptation Personality Change | |
| Chicken Little / Disney / int_6fbe85e6 | comment |
Adaptation Personality Change: In-Universe. The Film Within a Film of Chicken Little completely twists all of the main characters. Adventurous Cloud Cuckoolander Fish is a Mr. Spock expy, panicky Runt is a stalwart boar, Ugly Cute but helpful Abby is stunning but helpless, and nerdy, Adorkable Chicken Little is an rugged Action Hero. | |

Storybook Opening: Defied, lampshaded, and mocked Disney's use of it. It was to open the movie, but Buck couldn't deal with it. Also ironic, as it was to have one before it got rejected, as featured on the bonus features for the DVD of the film. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| Chicken Little / Disney / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: The aliens use a hexagon consistently as a shape - most notably, the first sign of them is a hexagonal-shaped piece that falls out of the sky, and the entrance to their space station is hexagonal-shaped. This is foreshadowed by Chicken Little's blanket as shown in the scene (in which he bonds with his father in his room) just preceding the entrance of the aliens: it has a hexagonal-shaped pattern, as shown here. | |

Parental Neglect: Buck Cluck.

Whenever his son embarrasses him, Buck distances himself from Chicken Little as much as possible. | |

Mobile Fishbowl: Fish Out of Water wears a scuba helmet filled with water in order to interact with Chicken Little and the others.

There is also a background fish character driving a fishbowl car, which begs the question of how he gets out and goes about his day. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Chicken Little / Disney / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: When trying to cross the road, Chicken Little uses a daisy stem to climb up a telephone pole and press the button in a similar fashion to Mulan and her weights. Also, when Runt is having a Freak Out! about Fish being taken to the ship, he clearly references Alien. One of the openings that were rejected was the very first scene from The Lion King. "His name is Kirby?" "They left him behind?" "Darth Vader is Luke's father?" Fish creates a tower out of newspaper and pretends to be King Kong. Eventually a paper plane swoops by him. Runt sings "I will survive", just like Archie the Bear did in Dr. Dolittle 2; both characters are voiced by Steve Zahn. | |

Lighter and Softer | |
| Chicken Little / Disney / int_ce6555f0 | comment |
Lighter and Softer: While still a cynical movie, it's nowhere near as bleak as Disney's take on the material back in 1943, complete with a much more happier ending than the original short's Downer Ending. | |

Mundane Made Awesome: Lampshaded; at the end, Hollywood gets hold of the story and butchers it right into a stereotypical Sci-Fi action film. | |

Company Cross References: In the opening, while Buck Cluck tries to figure out a way to start the story, he uses a familiar sunrise before discarding it. The alien father wears a three-eyed Mickey Mouse watch. | |

Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain | |
| Chicken Little / Disney / int_dfa71e43 | comment |
Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain: Deconstructed completely. Foxy Loxy acts and schemes like a standard goofy wise guy predator in a Golden Age cartoon, even falling victim to a bit of slapstick early on. Despite the narrator's predictions however, his plan works. Of course, unlike most cases, Foxy Loxy was smart enough to target dumber prey than himself. | |

Similar to the Show: One of the trailers resembled one made for The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy movie (Disney produced both films). The movie posters and the box art for the DVD borrow from the then-current Men in Black II. | |

Early-Bird Cameo: The titular character appeared in Japan in Kingdom Hearts II before the film was released in theaters. Ironically, Little is quite useful, and you get him very early in the game, after completing two Disney worlds. | |

Earn Your Happy Ending: Chicken Little repeatedly struggles with derision and mistrust from friends, family, and all who know him. Also, his mom is dead. But in the end, his "crazy talk" is vindicated, he becomes a hero to the town, he gets a better relationship with his dad, and he and Abby become a couple. | |
