I was 15 when this film came out but I was 15 or 16 when I first saw this film and at the time. I liked it and was blown away. But years later when I got older or at least ten or more years after the film was made. My opinion for this film changed.
As a kid, you'll love the film for the fact it's for kids. But as an adult, this film is the most mean-spirited film Disney has ever made. An innocent little boy gets relentlessly bullied, abused, mistreated and they treat him like the red-haired stepchild. Foxy Loxy is a bully to him like the rest of the town, Chicken Little's dad is the worst father ever, and when Chicken Little and his friends see the aliens up close and personal, the town didn't see the proof because they got distracted by a penny on the ground when they could've heard the spaceship nearby.
Then when the alien invasion happens. Suddenly the entire town and Chicken Little's dad finally see Chicken Little was right all along and everyone else sees they were all jerks to him all along and once Chicken Little was seen as the hero who saved them all, they automatically worship him to feed the town's narcissism. Even when Buck reconciled with his son, still, I don't think anyone should forgive him. But even though they made sure the film had a happy ending and Chicken Little and his dad reconciled, Chicken Little is a celebrity and everyone is changed for the better.
This film was once going to be done by the source material where the original idea was Chicken Little was a girl and they're all about "if you do this to a girl, oh no, this can't happen. But if it's a boy, then it's funny to be so horrible to him" a bit sexist and double standard in reverse. They originally made the town be invaded by wolves in disguise instead of aliens which would've been a better way to go about in the film but for whatever reason why Disney made Chicken Little the way they did instead of how it was originally thought of. This film is the perfect example of Disney's cautionary tale of how not to make a family film.
I mean I don't mind the main character being a boy but they shouldn't have made this film so mean-spirited to the protagonist. They could've kept the original story and we would mind if the main protagonist was male or female but the idea they chose that made it into theaters. This film is a mean-spirited film that they should've kept the original story and the main character being a boy or girl wouldn't have mattered. But them thinking you can be abusive to a female but you're allowed to be horrible to a male is making things both sexist and double standard in reverse. So this film may be for kids but from an adult's view. They should've never made this film so mean-spirited and they shouldn't have made everyone so mean to Chicken Little.
