* ToothyBird: Abby with her ever-present buck teeth.

* HalfDressedCartoonAnimal: A rather surprising subversion considering the company this came from - Almost everyone wears a full set of clothes. Not wearing pants is treated as nudity. Except for Abby who doesn't wear pants and for Fish who is completely nude.

* AlternativeForeignThemeSong: * The theme song for the Japanese dub is [[http://vuighe.net/mp3/nghe-bai-hat-vuighe-1073792015.html "Itsuka Kitto"]] by Mayo Okamoto.

''Chicken Little'' is a 2005 [[AllCGICartoon computer-animated film]] produced by [[{{Disney}} Walt Disney Animation]], and their first completely CG film not by {{Pixar}}). It is the 46th film in the DisneyAnimatedCanon, and is also Disney's first movie to be completely made via computer animation (2000's ''Disney/{{Dinosaur}}'' had CG characters against live-action backgrounds). It is based on the fairy tale of the same name, but set in modern times and given a ScienceFiction spin.

* ExecutiveMeddling: The movie ''originally'' stuck to the fable by using a female Chicken Little and you can even see the original opening with the female Chicken Little on the DVD special features. Michael Eisner had her changed to a boy to appeal better to little boys, because he believed boys would refuse to watch a film with a female lead. This from the guy that was the driving force behind ''Disney/TheLittleMermaid''.

* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotAwesome: Lampshaded; at the end, Hollywood gets a hold of the story and butchers it right into a stereotypical SciFi action film.

* ButtMonkey: Chicken Little. [[IGotBetter He gets better.]]

* ButtMonkey: Chicken Little.

* CassandraTruth: Naturally, nobody believes Chicken Little about the UFO.

** Also the one at the start.

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

*** But then again, we are talking about the King and Queen's son/daughter so it would be expected. But why would acorn collecting aliens have huge laser cannons on the ship anyway?

* EarlyBirdCameo: The titular character appeared in Japan in ''KingdomHeartsII'' before the film was released in theaters. Ironically, Little is quite useful, and you get him very early. (After the first two Disney worlds you complete.)

* MarthDebutedInSmashBros: ''KingdomHeartsII'' came out before the actual movie in Japan, so this was Chicken Little's official introduction to Japanese audiences.

One of the reasons this was made was because Disney was in a turbulent relationship with Pixar since their contract with them would expire soon, and Disney wanted to prove they could make a blockbuster CGI family film without the Pixar name, in the chance that Pixar would either go independent or find another distributor. It's unclear if they succeeded in this goal. While this film was critically panned, it did mildly well at the box office. It turns out that Disney realized they ''did'' need Pixar and bought them out, hired John Lasseter as the new Disney creative officer, and their goal was hand-waved. It is often regarded as the absolute worst film in the Canon due to it being a blatant [[FollowTheLeader cash-in]] on the FracturedFairyTales popularized by ''{{Shrek}}''.

* ThemeNaming: The characters names either rhyme with the species of animal they are, or form an animal-related idiom.
