Chicken Little

Post by Figarou »

Hmmm..I've seen the 1st trailer to this film. I wasn't that impressed with it.





But after seeing this trailer, I'm tempted to see the film anyways!!

I'm gonna see this, but only because Barenaked Ladies have a song in it! :wink:

*nods* Mm. Dare I say it, it kinda' resembles the Freeborn teaser, doesn't it?

And speaking of teasers, I've been looking all over for the one they showed in theatres, like, a year ago where it's a cameraview of a bunch of reporters chasing after him.

I just wanna watch it because I believe there will be good quote-worthy lines involved. And I get movie theatre popcorn.

Saw it. Liked it. :D

It was about as good as most of the totally CGI, cartoony, kid's movies have been lately. Comparable to Monsters Inc., Shark Tale, Madagascar, Finding Nemo, etc. You know what I'm talking about. Visually, it was slightly less appealing than most, but in terms of plot, dialogue, humor, etc. etc., it was about average or slightly above average in the CGI children's movies group.

And, to whoever it was who was the Barenaked Ladies fan, the song is really, really well placed in the movie. :D

Overall, I'd say it's a great twist on a classic story. With a bit of a communicate-with-your-kid sort of message. Go see it.

I'm really tempted on seeing it since its playing in 3-D here. I may wait till the hype dies down a bit.

I doesn't really matter so much whether you actually go and see it, or wait till it's available for rent. It's not exactly better in theaters. The point is, it's worth seeing.

I do plan on seeing it

But seeing it in 3-D is a rare opportunity.

I live pretty close to the theater that's showing it in 3D here, but I just might go to the other one, which is a lot closer (I could walk to it, if I really wanted to.)

WOW!!! This movie is #1 at the box office!!

"Chicken Little," the first fully computer-animated movie produced by Walt Disney Co., exceeded industry expectations by selling $40.1 million in tickets in North American in its first three days of release, the company said on Sunday.

Hm, I wonder how much it cost to make it, though.

I couldn't find the estimates for Chicken Little itself, but most CG movies from Toy Story to present day have averaged between 30 to 60 million. From what I've heard, Chicken Little is much shorter than others of its kind, so I'd wager the movie's payed for itself by now.

Well, according to Yahoo, Chicken Little is still #1 at the box office. Zathura is in 2nd place.

Have you notice that alot of Pixar movies are almost always #1. I guess EVERYONE takes thier kids to the theater then.

Well yeah. Pixar has a pretty good track record of movies. Just look at what they've made.
