Starring Zach Braff as Chicken Little, who is the embarrassment of Oakey Oaks after his claim of falling sky. Tons of quality funny folk featured, including Joan Cusack, Don Knotts, and Steve Zahn as Runt, who was actually quite large. (i'm not used to Steve Zahn being the biggest guy on the screen so it was a kinda strange to wrap my head around it) i love Joan Cusack and was really looking forward to her part, but she wasn't given much to work with at all, so that was a little disappointing. The gang has the standard Silent Sidekick, in this case it's Fish Out Of Water, who is actually pretty funny. He does The Robot as a dodgeball technique :] Zach Braff does a great job, as does Batman Himself: Adam West.
It was a fun movie, but not as fun as Pixar counterparts usually are. The moral of the story for the kids is 'You can easily be misunderstood and become the embarrassment of your entire town and most painfully, your own father, and unless aliens violently invade the planet there's nothing you can do about it.' Maybe the moral is 'Don't be mean to misunderstood kids', but i'm guessing more children walked out of the theater worried about being shunned than eager to hang out with any Ugly Ducklings.
Overall, it was a good movie to see in the theaters, but only for the matinee price. 3 out of 5 Fred Willard Aliens.
