Chicken Little is a short film created by Walt Disney during World War II. Unlike the company's 2005 feature film, this short was based on the actual classic tale itself.
[edit] Synopsis
The 1943 Disney film tells a variant of the parable in which all the animals are eaten by Foxy Loxy, and uses this as an allegory for the idea that wartime fear-mongering weakens the war effort and costs lives. [1]

Although the book Foxy Loxy is reading from is titled Psychology, the passages are actually from Hitler's Mein Kampf. (According to the commentary on the 2004 Walt Disney Treasures release, the showing of "Mein Kampf" was overruled.)
