C- Boston Globe Ty Burr "...shiny and peppy, with some solid laughs and dandy vocal performances, but even a small child may sense how forced this movie is..." more... B- Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert "It's a perfectly acceptable feature cartoon for kids up to a certain age, but it doesn't have the universal appeal of some of the best recent animation." more... B- Chicago Tribune Robert K. Elder "The results are mixed, though there are signs of promise." more... B- E! Online "Dress it up like a Pixar film all you want, but Disney's latest digitally animated adventure is hardly something to get egg-cited about." more... C   Entertainment Weekly Lisa Schwarzbaum "The tech complexity employed to replicate muscle movement doesn't make up for the simplistic colorlessness of the characters..." more... C   filmcritic.com Christopher Null "Then there's Disney's stab at 3D animation. There's nothing wrong with it, but the visuals notably lack scope and depth." more... B- Hollywood Reporter Michael Rechtshaffen "...a consistently amusing, often inspired family romp." more... B+ New York Post Lou Lumenick "Heavy on celebrity voices, pop culture references and rock tunes and low on memorable characters or imagination..." more... C   New York Times A.O. Scott "...a terrible movie..." more... D- ReelViews James Berardinelli "If there's a bright side to Chicken Little, it's that kids will love it." " more... B- San Francisco Chronicle Peter Hartlaub "...funny throughout..." more... B   Seattle Post-Intelligencer Sean Axmaker "...it's often funny but it flails around like a chicken with its head cut off..." more... C+ USA Today Mike Clark "As creature features go, lusciously pigmented, child-friendly Chicken Little is no Howard the Duck." more... B   * Yahoo!
