Disney's Chicken Little offers decent charm but feels lightweight
The film features a voice cast led by Zane and Cusack with Steve Zahn as Runt and Jeffrey. It presents a wholesome father son dynamic, sprightly first act gags, and a flood of pop culture references. Animation is solid though not Pixar level, leaving Disney needing stronger homegrown projects as its Pixar deal winds down. The movie runs 81 minutes and plays at Premiere Cinema 11 in San Jacinto Mall.
