Chicken Little (2005)

[theradicalchild]

Disney's second adaptation of the old folktale (the first animated wartime short oddly not available on Disney+ from what I’ve seen) follows the eponymous avian as he attempts to redeem himself after causing a scare in his town from the sky allegedly "falling", which actually may bear some semblance of truth. It actually beats Zootopia by a decade having a fully-anthropomorphic character roster populated by both mammals and nonmammals alike (with maybe one or two exceptions). Some of the characters like the tomboyish Foxy Loxy are genuinely adorable, and while the film is a bit of an Unintentional Period Piece given some of its music (which is otherwise good), I definitely enjoyed it, and its total avoidance of toilet humor (excepting one urinary reference) definitely helps.
