Can 'Chicken Little' Reanimate Disney?

[Mousey Girl]

I have no real desire to see it. Nickolas hasn't mentioned wanting to see it. David wants to see Zathura. I am waiting for HP GoF. Nickolas hasn't mentioned wanting to see any of the movies that are out now...weird...

I do know that I find all of the pics of the Chicken Head watching over the Esplanade very disturbing.

I'm all hyped for The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe...

That movie looks good but just to be sure, there are err no chickens staring in it right?

No, they all have their eyes closed.

I'm a little concerned about Narnia since it is from Walden Media and while they've made decent family movies they are a little too candy-coated for my preferences. I have hopes though.

What about Foghorn Leghorn? Can you watch those cartoons?

Actually, I didn't respond to this topic because I have no desire to read anything Jim Hill writes, so commenting on a piece I haven't read seemed kinda ridiculous.

But on the subject of "Chicken Little", we saw it Friday night at the El Capitan. Overall, I liked it, though there were spots I didn't like. We went to the 9:45 show, which was sold out, as were the two or three shows before it. I don't believe the midnight show was sold out.

And for those avoiding reviews, I'll put mine in spoiler tags.

Spoiler:

We saw the film last night at the El Capitan. I liked the movie, but I
didn't love it - I think I felt about it what I felt about "Brother Bear" -
there were bits that were really good, and there were bits that bored me.
And, the moose in "Brother Bear" really got on my nerves. Runt didn't quite
have that effect, but it was close. I didn't find his stuff that funny,
just annoying. The father/son relationship was a little too "beat you over
the head" for me. I was fairly bothered by the dad's reaction to Chicken
Little - it wasn't just "I don't know how to handle this", but it just
seemed borderline cruel.

The technology, though, was very cool. The glasses were more comfortable
than regular 3D glasses, though they were still uncomfortable over my own
glasses. I liked that the effects of the 3D were just to enhance the
overall look rather than being just gimmicky. Stay through the very end of
the film though - I'm presuming it's that way no matter whether it's 3D or
not, but with the 3D effect, it reminded me of Muppetvision 3D when Kermit
and Gonzo (?) notice that the two old men are in the balcony.

I thought the look of the film was great too. They did an amazing job with
Chicken Little - the expressions on him, especially when he's really sad,
were awesome. He's just too cute. I liked Fish, and the little alien kid
was cute too.

I want that watch with Mickey!

Chicken? Nobody calls me chicken! Why did the chicken cross the road? Because it saw me coming! Fried, scrambled, baked or in a pot-pie I'm every chickens worst nightmare. They call me the Chickenator. Go ahead bring it on sister, eggs, chicks, hens roosters? I got a recipe for um all! (What you never herd of chick fillet?)

Good thing you never saw 'Chicken Run'- the ending would have just upset you.

Remember McFly, reacting when people call you chicken can only lead to trouble...
