	Festival News - Short film
		He thinks that a short film is no different from a full length film in its form or its subjects, but the plot moves faster and the scenes are shorter.
		Sometimes films that last an hour are called short films too, but their language of expression resembles the one used in full-length movies.
		For him the concept of 'short film' is relative, because Aki Kaurismäki 's Ariel is of the same length as many of the documentaries he directs, and still it is not a short film.

	SCREEN IT! PARENTAL REVIEW: CHICKEN LITTLE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Animated Comedy: A diminutive but determined chicken must overcome his reputation as an alarmist when he and his friends realize their town truly is being invaded by aliens from outer space.
		Chicken Little urges the townsfolk to run and see the alien spaceship, but it takes off and turns invisible just as they get there (this will be tense for kids who will want Chicken Little to succeed to prove he's telling the truth).
		All of the scenes toward the end of the film where the mechanical pods chase after and/or vaporize characters (although the latter are later seen okay) may be rather intense for younger viewers.

	CHICKEN LITTLE - DVD
		Chicken Little, for instance, makes pop culture references that don't mean anything in the context of a film whose sole purpose appears to be instructing your children to be fearful and hyper.
		Chicken Little tries to be all about family, as you might imagine (it being a Disney production), but its message is battered into inconsequence by an undisciplined torrent of gags.
		The most interesting of these is a sequence in which Chicken Little is a girl: according to Dindal/Fullmer, the character got a sex change on the advice of former Disney CEO Michael Eisner, who had the not-outrageous epiphany that being short is a bigger hurdle for an adolescent boy to overcome.

	Chicken Run for Dreamcast Review - Dreamcast Chicken Run Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		As the film is based on the WWII POW movies of yore (such as The Great Escape), the Chicken Run game's play focus is quite consistent.
		Each of the game's levels is composed of several escape attempts on behalf of the titular chickens, and the bulk of the gameplay focuses on gathering the materials needed to make the break.
		You'll find yourself in the shoes of the film's protagonists, Ginger and Rocky, as they scour the farm in search of the seemingly random components that will eventually compose the devices they'll need for their escape attempt.

	"Chicken Little" (2005) / a review and/or comments from Christian Spotlight on the Movies (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The dialogue that Chicken Little has with his friends in regards to his relationship with his father are quite powerful for a children’s movie, and though I do feel it’s a little heavy for very young children, I see it as a great tool for parents to use while opening up discussion with their kids.
		There is a very touching scene in which Chicken Little and his father resolve their differences, and this seems to lead to Chicken Little to admit that he has always had an attraction to Abby (the ugly duckling).
		Chicken Little’s perspective on fresh starts, friendships and acceptance is nothing short of admirable, and this little chicken is a great choice for being a big hero.

	Interview with Andrew Mudge filmmaker of Chicken Pox Pal, 6/00
		The film that made it to Sundance is a ten-minute short called "Chicken Pox Pal." Mudge's first two films had been 40 minutes and 32 minutes long, too long for the bigger film festivals' short programs.
		It's the story of a family who rents a Chicken Pox Pal who will, they hope, infect their child during the 48 hours that he comes to live with them.
		His film will have action, he says, and maybe one small star, but nothing like the caliber of your usual Hollywood blockbuster.

	Chicken Crossing (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Chicken Crossing is a short 3D animated film about an optimistic but hapless chicken in search of happiness.
		The film premiered at the Lucy Saenger Theatre in New Orleans as part of the Siggraph 96 Electronic Theatre.
		Typically a film like this is modeled and animated over a course of weeks or months, and then rendered one frame at a time by several computers; it is not unusual for each frame of a modern 3D animation to take minutes or even hours.

	Chicken Little (2005): Reviews
		This epic tale presents a new twist to the classic fable of a young chicken who causes widespread panic when he mistakes a falling acorn for a piece of the sky.
		Chicken Little is a clunky, arbitrarily plotted, over-caffeinated spritz that, despite colorfully visualizing a world of suburbanized animals, shifts from social-outcast comedy to underdog clichés to War of the Worlds mayhem as if the filmmakers were an improv troupe slamming through genre requests.
		If Chicken Little were in 3-D, shown in a theme park as you sit in motion simulators, the lame gags might not be so much of a problem.

	DVD Review: Chicken Run
		"Chicken Run" is the latest effort from the team of Peter Lord and Nick Park, who gained fame from their award-winning "Wallace and Gromit" short claymation films.
		"Chicken Run" absolutely contains the same wit, warmth and humor that the "W & G" films had, and the work that must have had to go into the completion of a film like this must be enormous.
		There are not only some fantastic lines throughout the film, but there are also some great visual jokes, both very subtle and obvious.

	Reel.com: What is Chicken Run?
		Chicken Run is the first full-length feature film from Aardman Studios, home of the Oscar-winning Wallace and Gromit series.
		Led by the rough-and-ready newcomer Rocky (Gibson), the chickens of Coop 17 hatch an elaborate plot to escape from the clutches of the menacing Mrs.
		The result is a film with something for everyone: kids appreciate the visuals and slapstick humor, while grown-ups delight in the subtle asides and abundant visual punnery (Gromit's personal library includes volumes on "Sticks" and "Bones").

	Maryland Film Festival 2002 - Uncommon Exposures
		The Slamdance Film Festival, taking place annually along-side the Sundance Film Festival each January in Park City, Utah, has established itself as a festival "by filmmakers, for filmmakers", and that description is most evident by the amount of attention it gives to short films & videos.
		Made as part of the Seattle Film Festival's Fly Filmmakers challenge, where directors are invited to shoot a short film during one week of the festival, by Dan Mirvish (Slamdance co-founder, Omaha: The Movie), who is currently developing it into a feature-length musical.
		When Dan Mirvish's feature film Omaha: The Movie (2000 Maryland Film Festival) was rejected by the Sundance Film Festival in 1995, he and several other filmmakers took matters into their own hands and founded the Slamdance Film Festival.

		Chicken Little (the voice of Zach Braff) is still trying to live down the "unfortunate acorn incident" and make his single-parent Dad, Buck Cluck (the voice of Garry Marshall), proud of him.
		But no sooner has Chicken Little begun to redeem himself with the citizens of Oakey Oaks when he is hit on the head again, this time with a real chunk of the sky.
		For example, in the original tale of Chicken Little, Foxy Loxyâs plan is to kill and eat Chicken Little, and he succeeds in some versions.

	Chicken Little film review
		The animated year gets off to a decent enough start with Chicken Little, a family comedy that's definitely not in the A League of Shrek or Toy Story but nonetheless provides enough entertainment for kids while not being too onerous a watch for their parents.
		Directed by Mark Dindal, who had success in 2000 with The Emperor's New Groove, Chicken Little is voiced by Zach Braff of Scrubs fame, and is a young chick in a town where animals rule the roost.
		In a twist on the boy who cried wolf story, one day Chicken Little causes a near riot in the town when he rings the emergency bell after becoming convinced that the sky is falling in.

	Filmtracks: Chicken Little (John Debney)
		Unfortunately, he also discovers that something a little more ominous is falling out of the sky, and while at first cautious about who he tells about his revelation, he eventually organizes a team of misfits who will endeavor to save the world from alien invaders.
		In the Shrek era of slapstick comedy, it's no surprise that the soundtrack to Chicken Little is an odd combination of old songs relevant to chickens, the end of the world, or victorious parties, as well as ensemble cast songs and original underscore.
		The same acoustic guitar he used in the concurrent children's film Dreamer is used in this cue and in "Dad Apologizes" to set the locale in a bluegrass sound for the town of Oakey Oaks, though the latter cue leads to plucking string comedy rhythms more recognizable in the cartoon genre.

	short film review
		At the recent Charlotte, North Carolina film festival, we found the judges' choice of the short film "Lucas" a travesty.
		The short film leads to a dramatic climax that is perfect in its revelation of the full meaning of what went before--although we are given strong forshadowing hints of it--and leaves the audience with a visercal understanding of what it all meant.
		The deal Al Gore's Current TV -- another short film venue -- just made with Yahoo is yet another sign pointing to the emergence of short films and videos as one of the major media forms of the future.

		An animated film on paper created with the painted bodies of two chickens.
		A surrealist tale, a film graphically motivated by the movements of a snake, a "bachelor machine", a play on the exquisite corpse game, a diaristic animation, a film which does everything in animation I tell my students NOT to do...

		Kids should love the adventure and broad humor, but this film is really for the entertainment of the parents.
		When one chicken is asked whether it wants to spend its life laying eggs until it is butchered, she replies, "It's a living." Not many G-rated films find humor in complacency.

	USCCB - (Film and Broadcasting) - Chicken Little
		The poster of Disney's "Chicken Little" jokingly announces, "The end is near." If the movie is any indication of things to come, that just might be true for Disney's storied reign as the gold standard of animated entertainment.
		Sadly for the mouse house, this "Chicken" is a bit of a turkey.
		And while recommendable as wholesome entertainment, compared to those masterpieces "Chicken Little" pales, providing strong indication that, while the sky might not be falling at Disney, the quality of its storytelling has.
