Disney's "Chicken Little" is probably the closest we as humans will ever get to a 'perfect' movie. The story is a beautifully crafted mix between coming of age and father-son struggles, with a side of action and sci-fi. All the characters are masterly written, from the lovable and godly main character, Ace Cluck, to Fish Out of Water's nihilistic outlook on life, all the characters bring a new layer to the story. The soundtrack is something that certainly stands out with Chicken Little when it comes to a 2005 animated Disney film. From a harmonious and nerve-splitting original score from John Debney, to epic anthems like "One Little Slip," and "Shake a Tail Feather." The cinematography and animation is something that can never go unnoticed to any hardcore film junkie. For example, the sweeping shot in the beginning scene from the sky to Chicken Little perfectly represents the conflict at hand, which the sky "falling" and hitting Ace. But do not think this is all. As the perfect camera movement from the title card reading "Chicken Little" to the aforementioned character is one that will let you know you are in for a treat. For a movie made in 2005, many viewers may believe it was made in 2105. The technological advancements on the character models are something we may never see again in modern film. For example, Ace himself has 250,000 feathers on just his body alone. Outstanding. It is worth mentioning, however, that viewing this film comes with consequences. After the first time watching it, I proceeded to watch it over and over until my wife left me and took the kids. Honestly though, who cares? Chicken Little is all that is important to me. All in all, I rest my case. Chicken Little is a gift handed to us from the gods, and it will forever be a marveling masterpiece in film and animation. Thank you for your time.
