Little chicken

Frankly speaking, to me it’s not just the lead character which is little in size. In fact, even the plot seems little in size to me. Little and thin, and in some places a little bloated up by force. Some of the laughter appeared to be induced not by chance, but by purposeful script writing.

The visual effects are … how would you put it, on par with the standards set by the other animation studios. All except for Final Fantasy: Advent Children. That is what I call truely top-notch 3D animation. The characters are very lifelike and fluid. Pity they arn’t real. Oh, what would any hot-blooded male these days just to make one of the female characters come to life?

I guess with Disney being Disney, Chicken Little is probably more catered to small school going kids than young adults. That’s where Disney’s target lie, and that’s where they are probably aiming at, compared to the studios of Pixar, Dreamworks SKG and Blue Sky.

It’s not just top notch 3D visuals which are required for a blockbuster hit, but also a top-notch plot which is slightly lacking. Knowing Disney’s track record in weaving great animation and wonderful storytelling, they’ve got much to catch up on.

Not exactly worth the SG$10 I paid to watch it.
