Encyclopedic overview

Chicken Little is a 2005 American animated science fiction comedy film produced by Walt Disney Feature Animation. It is loosely inspired by the European folk tale "Henny Penny", known in the United States as "Chicken Little". Disney had previously adapted the tale in a 1943 short film. The film follows Chicken Little who, after claiming the sky was "falling" and subsequently being ridiculed by his town, attempts to fix his reputation, only to discover an otherworldly revelation.

The film was directed by Mark Dindal and written by Steve Bencich, Ron J. Friedman, and Ron Anderson, and features Zach Braff as Chicken Little, with Joan Cusack, Dan Molina, Steve Zahn, Garry Marshall, Amy Sedaris, Mark Walton, and Don Knotts in supporting roles.
