Walt Disney Feature Animation adds a whole new dimension to its legacy for memorable characters, great storytelling, and technical innovation with Chicken Little, the Studio's first fully computer-animated feature film. A pioneer in using computers in animation since the early 1980s, Disney brings its distinct filmmaking style and approach to this exciting medium, along with a host of technical innovations. The result is a film that captures the very best qualities of Disney animation with a look and feel that audiences have never seen before. Adding to the excitement, Chicken Little is being presented in select theatres across the country in Disney Digital 3D™, a revolutionary new true three-dimensional digital experience. Disney teamed with effects powerhouse Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) to render the movie in 3D, and the film will be shown using specially installed Dolby ® Digital Cinema systems.

The sky's the limit in Walt Disney Pictures' Chicken Little, a delightful comedy-adventure that gives a sophisticated and satirical twist to the classic fable. It is now one year after the "unfortunate acorn incident" when Chicken Little caused big-time havoc in his hometown of Oakey Oaks by proclaiming that the sky was falling after being conked on the head by what appeared to be an acorn. Down but not out, the plucky chicken joins the local baseball team in the hopes of reviving his reputation and winning the respect of his father, Buck Cluck. When he leads the town to an upset victory, he becomes the toast of the town. But no sooner has the champion chicken redeemed himself when he is hit on the head one more time. And this time the sky really is falling! Fearful of once again being labeled crazy, he is reluctant to tell anyone what has happened. Instead, he enlists the help of his closest pals – Runt of the Litter, Abby Mallard (aka Ugly Duckling, and Fish Out of Water – in an attempt to save the day without sending the town into a whole new panic.

Chicken Little is directed by Mark Dindal and produced by Randy Fullmer, the same team responsible for Disney's zany 2000 animated comedy, The Emperor's New Groove, with a stellar cast of talented actors and actresses lend voice to the animated stars of Chicken Little. Zach Braff, star of the hit NBC series Scrubs and the director of last year's critically acclaimed feature, Garden State, brings offbeat humor, a sense of determination, and lots of explosive energy to the likeable little title character. Veteran director and all-around funnyman Garry Marshall (Pretty Woman, The Princess Diaries) provides the distinctive voice of Buck Cluck, frustrated father of Chicken Little and a former baseball star. Actress Joan Cusack adds warmth and comedy to the vocal performance of Abby Mallard (aka Ugly Duckling), a beautiful friend who has no shortage of advice to share. Steve Zahn (Sahara, Happy Texas) takes on the big role of Runt of the Litter, a skittish 900-pound porker who is the smallest in his family. Dan Molina, the film's editor, creates the non-verbal sounds for Fish Out of Water, aided and abetted by a five-gallon bottle of water and a drinking straw. Chicken Little's nemesis, Foxy Loxy, is voiced by Amy Sedaris, the popular star of such programs as Sex and the City and Strangers with Candy.

"Chicken Little is a breakthrough film for Disney," observes David Stainton, president of Walt Disney Feature Animation. "By combining Disney's unique style of animation and story sensibilities with state-of-the-art CG tools, our animation team has created a film unlike any that has been done before. We have created proprietary tools that allow our artists to put a full range of motion into their performances without limitations, and capture the true spirit of Disney's 'squash and stretch' animation. This is a very exciting time for Feature Animation and we have a great slate of CG movie projects in the pipeline. Each one has a look and style all its own and will allow us to put our own individual stamp on this limitless and exciting new medium. We are all so proud of what Mark and Randy and their team have accomplished with 'Chicken Little.'"

Chicken Little is dedicated to the memory of Joe Grant, the late great Disney storyman/artist who passed away on May 6th, 2005, just one week shy of his 97th birthday. Grant, who began his association with the Disney Studios in 1933 and went on to write Dumbo and supervise the stories for Fantasia, continued to inspire new talent since returning to the Studio in 1989. He continued to draw and create new story ideas up until the day before he died.
