Okay, first on School's Out: The Musical, and now this? Whoever you are, you're really obsessed with the idea that Plankton & the Pixies are going to team up, aren't you? Well, they're not. So get over it. This is Disney, not Nickelodeon, anyway. --Wack'd About Wiki 21:45, 27 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Copyright violation

The web site "http://www.the-real-story.com/" has copied the complete text of the Wikipedia articles Chicken Little and 50 Cent and has placed its own copyright notice places on the articles. There is no email address listed on the site, but a whois on the domain turns up "IQ-TESTING-ONLINE.COM@domainsbyproxy.com" as the administrative contact. I will send a Standard GFDL violation letter there. - Brian Kendig 16:26, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] More on 3D version?

According to the news, selected theatres equipped with Dolby Digital Cinema system will show this movie in 3D. Any more info on what kind of technology is that? Kowloonese 06:21, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] The Canon?

Does anyone know if Disney officially considers this one of The Animated Classics? As they don't even seem to differentiate between theatrical and direct-to-video titles anymore, I suspect the idea of certain theatrically-released traditional animation films being considered special is fading away. tregoweth 02:04, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

Never mind; see my comments at Talk:List of Disney animated features. tregoweth 03:28, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

No.Chicken Little is NOT part of the Disney Canon.Instead it is the very first film of a new Canon. - R.G. 06:22, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

So not only is the "forty-fifth" comment incorrect, but its mentioned twice in the first paragraph? Andrew.langmead 23:21, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

It is part of the canon if using the definition in Disney_animated_features_canon as movies produced by Walt_Disney_Feature_Animation. That definition excludes the Disney Toon Studio-based direct-to-video (Bambi II, et al) and theatrical releases (The Tigger Movie, et al) as well as the Disney partner-produced (Valiant, The Wild, et al) and Pixar films. Chicken Little is simply a fully-CG animated film whereas WDFA films have contained digital animation for years, most notably since the Beauty and the Beast ballroom scene. So, it is part of the canon as will be all forthcoming CG and traditional films produced by WDFA. This will be made easier by the fact that the other films mentioned are being generally phased out by Lasseter leaving only WDFA and Pixar-produced theatrical releases. -- McJaje 08:48, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

OK, so you seem to be implying that although Disney claims that they aren't keeping count anymore http://psc.disney.go.com/guestservices/8695.html#8695 since there is a commonly accepted definition that the fans will continue to keep their own count? (I guess I mean, Now that Disney has washed their hands of it, who is officiating the "official canon"?) and my bigger question beyond canonical status or not, why mention it twice in the first paragraph? Andrew.langmead 01:35, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

I agree, there is no need to have it listed twice. The first reference is the most correct, the 45th release from WDFA. The second is pointless although it would be nice to incorporate the Disney_animated_features_canon link into it the first. I'll give it a go. McJaje 20:08, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, I like that a lot better. A very good call, thanks for pointing it out. It is technically acurate now with the "canon" link specifically referring to WDFA productions and does not contradict the guest services quote you reference because it's no longer specifying the "Disney canon", only the WDFA canon. Sound reasonable? McJaje 20:19, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. I much prefer the way it reads now Andrew.langmead 04:32, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Trivia

The german voice of Mayor Turkey Lurkey is Christian Ude the mayor of Munich.--LaWa 12:28, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Say What?

Chicken Little joins his school's Little League baseball team in an attempt to recover his reputation and his father's pride, he is unfairly made last and Foxy always got the winning pitch, even when he was on it umped him or something happened and Foxy caught it with newspapers amazed by her "miracle catchs", and by batting a home run on the last match, it appears he's well on his way. But that night back at home, he is hit on the head by a strange stop-sign-shaped object which he recognizes as a piece of the sky. He summons his friends to help figure it out.

(previous article revision[1])

Can anyone make sense of that passage? I can't. It's important to mention something of the baseball game in the plot summary, but having not seen the whole movie myself, I don't know what to replace it with.Stratadrake 00:54, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Male & female characters

Classifying the characters in this film as male and female, and comparing it with the original fable version, how similar are the 2 lists?? Georgia guy 00:38, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] A mascot?

There is a rumor saying that just as Mickey Mouse has become a trademark or mascot of the traditional animated Disney films, Chicken Little is going to have the same role for the CGI movies from Disney. Is it just a rumor or is it true?

[edit] Another goof?

The peice of the sky that falls in the movie is clearly in the shape of a hexagon, yet on this page it is refered to as an octogon, and in the movie as "stop-sign" shaped.

[edit] I am a fan

today was the first day I saw the film and I loved it! Punkymonkey987 (talk) 22:10, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Chicken little poster.jpg

Image:Chicken little poster.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 20:33, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Chicken Little was originally female

There's a mark next to this assertion (in the, unfortunate, Trivia section of the main article) claiming this needs to be cited. It is actually stated in the DVD extras; they go so far in the extras as to show a short, apparently untextured rough render of the female version of the character in bed from before the concept was replaced with the male character. I don't know how to cite this, but anyone with the DVD can verify that it's true.

I, for my part, am sorry I know this, but I'm glad to help wikipedia out. :P 74.36.50.246 17:49, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Human?

The Trivia section mentions that this film has no humans in it whatsoever. But isn't Harrison Ford briefly seen in the theatre during the opening scene?

Correct. I'm not sure this piece of trivia is all that meaningful anyway. "The fifth" Disney film with no humans hardly warrants any special notice. McJaje 13:40, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Are any other movies with this name?

If not it should be moved to Chicken Little (film). TheBlazikenMaster (talk) 09:38, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
