Film Review #42: Chicken Little

I stopped watching Disney films once.
It was in the fall of 2005.  I was in the 5th grade.  My little cousin wanted to go see a film based on "Chicken Little".  I went to go see it to see what talentless hacks were conned into making this film.  I sat in and when I saw the Walt Disney Pictures logo, I cried.  DISNEY?  THEY ACTUALLY MADE A FILM BASED OFF OF A ONE PARAGRAPH FABLE?!?!?!?!?!?!?!  WHAT COULD THEY HAVE POSSIBLY EXPECTED THIS FILM TO BE? It was just pure awful.  I am still amazed that this piece of shit came from Disney.

Plot: Chicken Little has faced nothing but ridicule since his psychotic outbursts about the sky falling.  But it turns out he was telling the truth.  But it isn't exactly the sky falling, but effing aliens.  WHAT?  Now it's up to Chicken and his gang of misfit friends to  save the town while trying to earn back his father's love and respect.

What's Wrong?: My biggest issue is not the stupid alien plot, Zack Braff's terrible acting, or even the stupid premise.  It's the father.  All Chicken Little wants is his father to be proud of him, but that would only be if the son was a big hero or a superstar athlete.  Dude, you are an ASSHOLE!  A son only asks for love and respect for so long.

This may not be the film's fault, but the only reason the film was successful at the box office was because of the fact that it was Computer animated.  If this was in 2d Animation, this wouldn't have made any money.  This would haunt Disney fans until 2009, but it still technically does.

What's Good?: -_-

Overall: This was an especially trying film to sit through.  I kept looking at my phone and asking when this film would end.  This is no Disney Film.  It doesn't even deserve to be a film.  It deserves to be...UGH!!!!!!
