Description

Chicken Little 2005.In the small town of Oakey Oaks, Chicken Little (Zach Braff) causes widespread panic and mayhem when he rings the alarm bell, claiming the sky is falling. He is humiliated in front of his father, Buck Cluck (Garry Marshall) and the entire town when, after telling everyone a piece of the sky 'shaped like a stop sign' had hit him on the head, he is unable to find it. All the residents assume an acorn must have fallen on him, and Chicken Little becomes a laughing stock. One year later, Little is still being ridiculed for the incident and is bullied at school by Foxy Loxy (Amy Sedaris) and her band of cronies. His friends Abby Mallard (Joan Cusack), Runt of the Litter (Steve Zahn) and Fish Out of Water (Dan Molina) advise him to talk about his feelings with his father, but Little is more concerned with restoring his reputation outright. Following a bust-up with Foxy, his father is called in, and Little overhears the school principal stating that Buck had been the school baseball star in his youth. Determined to rekindle his relationship with his father, Chicken Little signs onto the baseball team. In the final inning of the big Oakey Oaks pennant game, with all the other players injured, he is called up to bat, and manages to hit an inside-the-park home run. Despite some confusion, the umpire ultimately declares the game won; Little is hailed as a hero for winning the pennant.
