Chicken Little (DVD, 2006, Widescreen)

Now if your a 3 year old this movie, just like all the others it's a hit (Nate my 3 year old nephew just loved it) he laughed at things I didn't really think were funny but thats a 3 year old, He loved the Chicken little character and now believes all chickens are like that, so from a 3 year olds point of view it was good, but he isn't as interested in watching it 20 times like "Cars" or "Toy Story". Nate is our best critic if a movie doesnot hold his interst then it is not worth getting.If it has motercycles or rockets in it and animals that talk and act silly he wants to watch it.(as all 3 year olds do,I hope)This one was full of action with the rockets and all the motorcycles etc so it kept him somewhat amused.

Now my opioion

Chicken Little marks an important first for the Disney company. It's their first fully in-house developed CGI feature after they announced the closure of their long standing award winning traditional hand drawn animation studio. Setup in a time period where Pixar's distribution contract was up in the air, this was Disney's attempt at creating a CGI masterpiece. Sadly where this film lacks is the exact area where Pixar succeeds and that's interesting and engaging story telling aimed primarily at kids but still fun for their parents and other adults who might have to take their kids back to the theater three or four times.

It's not offensive or painful to watch for adults but it's pretty unmemorable. Even though most of us adults have heard and remember the story.
Although we only really watch these movies for the enjoyment of the kids right so I guess sitting through this was fine I have had to sit through worse.As adults we expect the animations at its best and this just wasn't up there like the others
Simply put, an animated movie for the kids more then the parents.
