95	----
96	* TheAce: Popular, star baseball player, and extremely confident (bordering on arrogance).
97	* AdaptationalHeroism: Her book counterpart ended up eating the main characters. In this version, she starts off as a mean-spirited jerk, [[spoiler:then she undergoes a total personality swap by the end.]] The "heroism" part is subverted, however, since she's not really a hero.
98	* TheBully: She frequently taunts and physically picks on Chicken Little and his friends.
99	* FoulFox: A fox who eats all the birds, usually including the protagonist, all the while pretending he's going to lead them to the king's house.

116	[[folder:Buck Cluck]]
117	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tumblr_nadj3imqla1ruc976o2_400.jpg]]
118	->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/GarryMarshall; Creator/BernardPierreDonnadieu (European French Dub)
119
120	Chicken Little's widowed father.
121	----
122	* TheAce: Unlike his son, Buck was a popular student in high school due to being a star baseball player. He was even nicknamed "Ace".
123	* AdaptationalJerkass: He had far more PetTheDog moments towards his own son in the original script, where even made Chicken Little breakfast to show that he really does love him deep down. Unfortunately, in the final film, these redeeming qualities are absent, making Buck come off as more unpleasant than intended.
124	* TheAtoner: After it finally hits him how neglectful he's been toward his son, he spends the last third of the movie making it up to him by helping him navigate the chaotic streets in the middle of the alien invasion to return Kirby to his parents, and defending Chicken Little from the wrath of said angry alien parents when they're aboard the ship.
125	* BigOlEyebrows: His feathers make his eyebrows look bulky.
126	* CockyRooster: Downplayed. He's not particularly cocky, but he used to be a popular jock and is visibly embarrassed by his son's reputation as a loser.
127	* HypocriticalHumor: When he discovers the antagonists of the film accidentally left their son, Kirby, behind, he states that that's bad parenting. And after a quick pause, he also [[HypocrisyNod adds]] "[[IResembleThatRemark And I should know!]]"
128	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He ultimately does prove himself to actually care about his son despite being rather aloof and neglectful to him.
129	* JockDadNerdSon: Provides the contrast between him and his geeky son Chicken Little.
130	* LaserGuidedKarma: After being a fair-weather father to his son for most of the movie, Buck finally commits to supporting Chicken Little and helping him save the town during the climax. At which point, a bit of karma starts to catch up to him, when the climax keeps finding new and incredibly dangerous ways to make him squirm.
131	-->'''Chicken Little''': All we have to do is duck and weave through traffic, through town square, while avoiding the death rays from the evil alien robots. We get to the town hall, climb up to the roof, and give the kid back to its parents!\
132	'''Buck''': (''forced and with a'' very ''fixed grin'') ...''[[ThisIsGonnaSuck yeah!]]''
133	* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Once Chicken Little tells him how his lack of parental support has affected their relationship, Buck feels guilty for not emotionally supporting his son.
134	* NonMammalianHair: Those are some big eyebrows. Although they could just be feathers.
135	* PapaWolf: In spite of being an emotionally neglectful parent to Chicken Little, he won't hesitate to protect his son from [[spoiler:an alien invasion]].
136	* ParentalNeglect: To Chicken Little, though unintentionally. While he sees the error of his ways towards the end, for the vast majority of the film, he only cares about what the egotistical self-serving townsfolk want, over the well-being of his son. Whenever his son embarrasses him, Buck distances himself from Chicken Little as much as possible.
137	* ParentsAsPeople: He ''really'' wants to be a good father, but he's just ''awful'' at being there for his son when he needs to. And he's not subtle about his embarrassment over Chicken Little's "the sky is falling" incident.
138	* UselessBystanderParent: He does absolutely nothing to stop the townspeople from gleefully tormenting his son day in and day out for an entire year.

145
146	A young alien that accidentally got separated from his parents when they were acorn gathering, triggering an alien invasion.
147	----
148	* BizarreAlienBiology: His three eyes are almost always changing places with each other. The other members of his race do this too.
149	* CartoonCreature: He's a vaguely teardrop-shaped alien with three eyes, orange fur and multiple legs.
150	* ExtraEyes: Three eyes, like his parents. It appears to be a species trait.
151	%%* InnocentBlueEyes: He has these.
152	* IntelligibleUnintelligible: Speaks only in childish babbles, unlike his [[AliensSpeakingEnglish English-speaking parents]], but Chicken Little, Abby and Runt can understand him just fine. But not Buck, for some reason.
153	* PatchworkKids: His orange fur color is a mixture of his parents', who have red and yellow fur.
154	* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: A small and endearing baby alien.
