When the odds are stacked against you, at what point must you consider quitting? For Chicken Little, his big, never-say-die heart made up for what he lacked in size. This latest Disney animation focuses on how the right attitude towards hardship molds one's character. Although Chicken Little's overwhelming ambition to play baseball against the big league got his father worried, the little one knew better. The stars have already written his rendezvous with fame. His fascination with cosmic creatures, however, ushered in an episode of alien invasion, creating a wild goose chase between him and his friends on one side and the invaders on the other. The 90-minute fantasy captures the daily drama present in human relations in a fun flick that highlights the value of losing with dignity, persistence against all odds and a healthy dose of optimism. It is not only about how size poses no impediment to winning in life but also how one's family and social circles help overcome major handicaps. If love defines the outcome of any game, this movie is sure to win the hearts of young and old alike.
