History YMMV / ChickenLittle

* FollowTheLeader: It's hard not to notice that the film is aping the ''{{WesternAnimtion/Shrek}}'' formula to a T, except of course the strong anti-Disney overtones of the first ''Shrek'' film.

-->'''RogerEbert''': ''He joins the town baseball team, but even though he plays in the big game, this sequence feels, frankly, as if the plot is killing time. That's because it is... As a general rule, if a movie is not about baseball or space aliens, and you have to use them, anyway, you should have started with a better premise.''

* {{Padding}}: The whole business with baseball could have been dropped without having to substantially rewrite the rest of the film.

** The NostalgiaCritic did 5-minute reviews of each entry in the DisneyAnimatedCanon but left 3 out, including ''Chicken Little'', for pretty weak reasons. Though he seems to have a peeve with Disney CG movies in general.

* MemeticMutation: Think "Numa Numa" and recall the early teaser commercials with Chicken Little dancing to [[EarWorm/{{Web}} notorious earworm]] "Dragostea din tei". Then have it [[HilariousInHindsight come back to haunt you]] when you hear "Down" by Jay Sean, a JimmyHartVersion of the Numa Numa song whose lyrics specifically allude to the story of Chicken Little.

* GirlShowGhetto: The original story treatment of ''ChickenLittle'' had a female protagonist, but Michael Eisner suggested a movie about a male Chicken Little would appeal to more people. The final film became a black sheep of the DisneyAnimatedCanon, though it seems hard to tell whether or not the original plan would have fared better.

* WTHCastingAgency: The voice actors of Chicken, Abby and Runt don't even attempt to sound like kids, though the film never is clear on whether they're supposed to be young children or teenagers. And what was the point of casting Patrick Stewart for barely over a minute of dialogue?
