Chicken Little Follow me! Come on! Hurry! Hurry! Aliens here! Aliens here!
Scenes with Chicken Little
21 scenesTough morning?
Chicken Little I had a run in with my old nemesis.
Gum on the crosswalk?
Chicken Little He won this round.
Your old foe.
Chicken Little Mmm-hmm.
[during a timeout at gym class]
Look, you thought the sky was falling. Your dad didn't support you, and you have been hurting inside ever since.
Chicken Little Yeah, but...
It's hurt. It's the nutshell.
Chicken Little Well, it's hurt, but...
No, bup bup! Bup! Now what needs to happen now is the nut needs to be cracked open, and not one little chip at a time, but bam! Bits of emotion flying everywhere! Anger! Frustration! Denial! Fear! Deep depression, in fact! You see what I'm saying?
Alright, forget the nut thing. Here's the main thing. You have got to stop messing around and deal with the problem. Here's the real solution: You, your dad, talk-talk-talking, closure.
Chicken Little Closure?
Closure. Talking about something until it's resolved. Wait. Look. [pulls out some magazines from her backpack] There's a whole section about in this month's Modern Mallard. Incredibly appropriate! Whew!
Chicken Little I told you, I have a plan.
Yeah, but according to Cosmo Duck, you should stop the squawk and try the talk. And Beautiful Ducking says avoiding closure with your parents can cause early molting. See? Closure.
[as Abby and Chicken Little are talking, Fish Out of Water is building a tower out of Abby's magazines]
Just repeat after me. You, your dad, talk-talk...
Chicken Little Abby, Abby, Abby! Listen, talking's a waste of time. I got to do something great so my dad doesn't think I'm such a loser.
Come on, you're not a loser. You're inventive and resourceful and funny and cute...
Chicken Little What?
Oh, you... [chuckles nervously] Um... [smiling broadly] Runt, should Chicken Little have a good talk with his dad and clean the air... [winks then frowns] ...Or keep searching for Band-Aid solutions and never deal with the problem?
Pfft! Band-Aid solutions!
Runt!
Well, I'm sorry! I'm very bad at reading facial cues.
Buck Cluck
Some teenagers, you know, they get quite a rush from stamp-collecting! You wanna stop? We'll get some stamps...
Chicken Little No, I don't like stamps.
Okay. Lemme guess. You haven't told your dad yet.
Chicken Little Well...
I knew it! Why haven't you told him? Because there hasn't been you, your dad, talk-talk-talking.
Chicken Little There was talking. There was... There was definitely talking.
Oh, really? What did he say? [Chicken Little only making stammering things] What? Alright, that's it! We are doing an intervention! You have got to stop messing around and deal with the problem!
She's right!
Chicken Little Abby, please. This is exactly what fell on me the first time. There's no way I'm bringing this up again with him.
No, he's not!
Runt!
Sorry! I'm a gutless flip-flopper.
Okay. I'm sure there's a simple, logical explanation. I mean, it could be a piece of weather balloon, or maybe it's part of some experimental communications satellite.
Chicken Little I don't care what it is. I want it out of my life, gone for good. Everything back to normal.
Hey, remember when that icy blue stuff fell from the sky? Everybody thought it was from space and stuff? And it just turned out to be frozen pee from a jet airplane.
Yeah, that's right. It's frozen pee. Yeah. It's frozen pee. [singing] Pee, pee, pee, pee pee.
Chicken Little Could you stop saying that?
What, pee?
Chicken Little Pee.
How 'bout Tinkle
Piddle?
Whiz? [Fish gurgles]
Wee-wee?
Chicken Little Okay, subject change.
Make Phishee?
Chicken Little I don't care what it is! Now are you gonna help me get rid of it or not?
Chicken Little Fish?
Fish!
Chicken Little Fish…
Fish…
Runt, that's enough! Don't make Mommy take away your Streisand collection!
Mom, you leave Barbra out of this!
Why can't you keep that child of yours under control?
Chicken Little I'm telling you the truth. Dad! Dad, I'm not making this up. You gotta believe me this time.
Chicken Little [to Abby]
By the way, I'd like to say I've always found you extremely attractive. [he kisses Abby]
Now that's closure.
Melvin
Why did you take our child?
Hey, hey! Just... [gulps] Just hold on there, buddy! My son did not take your kid! You were the one that left him behind! That's bad parenting, and I should know!
Melvin
Silence, silence, silence, silence! Release the child!
Okay.
Chicken Little Okay, okay.
Tina [Kirby returns to his mother]
Sweetheart! Oh, Kirby, I'm so happy to see you! My darling!
Chicken Little At least they're back together. They got their kid.
Melvin
You have violated intergalatic law 90210! A charge punishable by immediate particle disintegration!
Chicken Little There's... there's... it's a... you have to... D'oh... Doo-wah!
Mountain Lion
What did he say?
Mayor Lurkey
[reading a sign-holding dog's signs]
"There's... there's... it's a... you have to... D'oh! Doo-wah!"
Ending[edit]
[singing "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" by Elton John and Kiki Dee]
Chicken Little No, no, no! It's true! Come with me!
Buck Cluck
No, son? What?
Chicken Little [All of the animals follow Chicken Little to the center of the oak tree]
It happened under the old oak tree! I'm not making this up. I know it's here. [stammering] There's a piece of the sky somewhere, somewhere on the ground. It was shaped just like that!
It looks like a stop sign?
Chicken Little Yes! Only it doesn't say stop and it's blue and it has a cloud on it. And it hit me on the head! It looked like a stop sign.
Person
Oh, wait! What's that?
Buck Cluck
Son, is this what hit you?
All
What?
Chicken Little Oh, no, Dad. It was definitely a piece of the sky!
Buck Cluck
Piece of the sky. It's okay, everyone!
Chicken Little Dad, no.
Buck Cluck
There's been like a little mistake. It was just an acorn that-that hit my son. A little acorn.
Chicken Little No! Dad, no.
Buck Cluck
Quiet, son. This is embarrassing enough already.
Reporter #1
Chicken Little! WHAT were you thinking?
Reporter #2
Why would you put your town's safety in jeopardy?
Reporter #3
How could you mistake a stop sign for an acorn?
Chicken Little But it... a big acorn level fluh.
Reporter #1
What did he say?
Chicken Little A big acorn level fluh...
Reporter #2
It was a big acorn?
Reporter #3
An ape throwing coleslaw?
Chicken Little A big acorn level fluh...
Man
Gesundheit!
Don Bowwoser
Ladies and gentlemen, it's just gibberish, gibberish of an insane person.
Come on, Buck! Your kid went and scared us all half to death!
Buck Cluck
Well, what can I tell you, folks, my son, you know... Kids do crazy stuff. You have kids. It's...
Chicken Little No, Dad. It wasn't an acorn. It was a piece of the sky. Really, it was. You gotta believe me.
Buck Cluck
[One year later...] [chuckling]
A movie, a movie. They're making a movie. When? When will everybody forget your big mistake? First it was all over the papers, then they wrote a book about it, then the book on tape, then the board game, the spoons with your face on it, and the website, the commemorative plates. You saw them, right?
Chicken Little Yeah. I saw them.
Buck Cluck
Can't eat off 'em, but they're there.
Chicken Little Well, they're not microwave-safe.
Buck Cluck
You saw the billboards?
Chicken Little I saw them.
Buck Cluck
[A stork comes by and slams his head at the window, instead of the door. A bull comes out of the store, wipes the window, then goes back inside]
Ha! There's a bumper sticker. I knew it was only a matter of time. Billboards I could live with. Posters I could even live with. But a bumper sticker. It's like glued on forever.
Chicken Little It doesn't matter. You know why? Because I've got a plan.
Buck Cluck
Yeah, about that. Well, remember how I told you it would be better for you to lay low, don't call attention to yourself?
Chicken Little Yes, but I...
Buck Cluck
See, it's like a game. Yeah, a game of hide-and-seek, except the goal is never to be found, ever!
[stammering]
Great! [chuckles] Now, we've got a plan, right? I'll see ya later! Remember, lay low.
Chicken Little [Chicken Little gets off the car]
Yeah, okay. Bye.
Puppy
[He waves goodbye]
Look, Mama! There's the crazy chicken!
Poodle
Yes, it is! Crazy chicken. You're so smart. We don't make eye contact. Bye!
Sit tight, Fish!
Fish, we will try to save you!
Chicken Little [panting]
Yeah!
Curb!
Chicken Little [?]
Abby! Abby! Wake up! Come on! Let's get outta here!
[?]
Chicken Little Fish?
Fish!
Chicken Little Fish...
Fish...
Shh!
I can't handle the pressure!
Now the weather with Riz. A cold front is moving in so... The alarm bell has been activated! Quick! Get a camera crew!
Coach
[?]
Chicken Little, you better have a good explanation for this!
Chicken Little There's...there's...it's a...you have to...D'oh...Doo-wah!
Mountain Lion
What did he say?
[reading a sign-holding dog's signs]
"There's...there's...it's a...you have to...D'oh! Doo-wah!"
Chicken Little Follow me! Come on! Hurry! Hurry! Aliens here! Aliens here!
Buck Cluck
It's happening again.
Chicken Little Come on! Hurry! Hurry! Come on. Come on. You're about to see it!
Chicken Little [?]
Quick! It's taking off! Come on! If you don't hurry, you're gonna miss it!
Chicken Little [annoyed]
Guys!
Oh, right.
Chicken Little Hurry! Hurry!
Cameraman Rabbit
Eh, there's no story here.
Cameraman Dog
At least we can sell the video of Chickens Gone Wild.
Chicken Little I'm telling ya everybody, it was here!
No, wait! There were aliens!
It's true! They had eyes...They're glowing and then tentacles! And maps with planets with X's through them! AAHHH!!
Runt's Mother: [angrily grabs Runt by his ear] Runt, that's enough! Don't make mommy take away your Streisand collection! [drags him away]
Mom, can you leave Barbra out of this!
Principal Fetchit
Why can't you keep that child of yours under control?!
Mama Vulture
What kind of parent are you?!
Chicken Little I'm telling you the truth! Dad! Dad! I am not making this up! You gotta believe me this time.
Buck Cluck
[sighs, pauses]
No, son. I don't. [chuckles] I can't tell you how embarrassed I am, folks. I'm really sorry about this, everyone. Looks like this is just a big, crazy misunderstanding.
Well, other than the penny, this whole evening was a wash!
Oh, Mr. Cluck, don't take it so hard. No one blames you.
If there ever was a time to talk to your dad...it's now.
Chicken Little It's too late for that.
It's too late, baby, now it's too late. [sobbing] Though they really did try to make it.
Runt, just think about it.
Something inside has died and they just can't hide and they just can't fake it. Oh, no, no.
Chicken Little Runt, I really just want to be alone right now. [Abby, Fish, and Runt leave. Then, Chicken Little sees Kirby next to him all alone. It winks at him.] Oh! Abby! Runt! Fish! Look! There! Look there! Look there!
What is that thing?!
Chicken Little [He turned his head and saw the orange fuzz, that he found on the ship was on the ground. Chicken Little gasps. He slowly began to approach it until the orange fuzz bursts alive. It had three eyes, four arms and a mouth. It was a real alien!]
Aaaaaaah! Abby! Runt! Fish!
Chicken Little [He screams made Abby, Runt and Fish return to the yard]
Look! There! Look there! Look there!
AGH! What is that thing?!
Chicken Little [Fish shushes them up. He approached to the orange creature and gurgles. The alien started speaking alien language as Fish turns his head back to his friends and gurgles, which the gang began to understand what was going on]
His name is Kirby?
They left him behind?
Darth Vader is Luke's father?
Chicken Little [Kirby starts sobbing]
No, no, no, no. Come on, come on, don't cry. We're here for you. We're gonna do whatever it takes to get you back home, okay? Here, blow. [Kirby blows his nose. he tries to get it off, but wipes it off on the ground] See, guys? He's cool. He was just freaked out. That's all. [Kirby sneezes]
Buck Cluck
Chicken Little! [Kirby screams] What? Where's your head? We gotta get outta here! Come on! Come on... You, with the running and the jumping!
Chicken Little Dad, no, wait.
What are you guys doing? We gotta get outta here! It's like... It's like War of the Worlds out there!
Buck Cluck
Stop pulling!
Chicken Little Just listen to me for one second! It's not dangerous!
We are under attack! Will you two stop messing around and deal with the problem?
Chicken Little [to Buck Cluck]
You're never there for me!
Buck Cluck
What?
Okay, that's not what I had in mind, but...
Chicken Little You're never there for me. I mean, you were there when I won the game, but not when I thought the sky fell and not at the ball field and certainly not now!
This is good! Keep going, keep going!
Chicken Little You've been ashamed since the acorn thing happened. We have to talk because Modern Mallard says avoiding closure can lead to molting and I'm already small and on top of that, I don't think I could handle being bald!
Buck Cluck
I... I didn't realize, son. I never meant to...The acorn, the sky, I mean, the whole... [sighs, chuckles] You're right. You're right. Your mom, she was...You know, she was always good with stuff like this. Me...I'm gonna need a lot of work. But you need to know that I love you, no matter what. And I'm sorry, I... And I'm sorry if I ever made you feel like that was something you had to earn. [Buck Cluck and Chicken Little hug]
Uh... Uh... And we're good. Let's go. Let's go.
Chicken Little Okay, Dad. Now, all we gotta do is return helpless little Kirby.
Buck Cluck
Return this whatever it is? This is crazy! Crazy! Crazy wonderful! Just tell me what you need me to do.
Chicken Little Do you really mean it?
Buck Cluck
You bet! Anything, son.
Chicken Little Come on, Dad. We've got a planet to save.
Buck Cluck
Crazy supportive. That's me! Ohh! This thing likes to nibble, doesn't it?
Chicken Little [to Abby]
By the way, I'd like to say I've always found you extremely attractive. [kisses Abby]
Wait, wait, what's going on? Oh, they've given her an alien mind-wipe! [?]
Buck Cluck
Okay, son. What do we do now?
Chicken Little Uh, okay. This is a piece of cake, Dad. All we have to do is take the kid down the street to the giant metal alien.
Chicken Little [?]
Forget plan A!
Buck Cluck
[?]
Uh-oh.
Buck Cluck
[?]
Okay, okay, what now, son? Who, by the way, I support 100 percent.
Chicken Little Uh, plan B?
Buck Cluck
Ha-ha! Of course! Plan B! What is plan B?
Buck Cluck
[Kirby jabbering]
What? You have to go to the bathroom? You want juice? A snack? Corn dog on a stick? Want to play some golf? What do you want?! I stink at this. I'm a horrible father.
Buck Cluck
[Kirby speaks alien language]
No, no, I am.
Kirby
Poo-tee-tah.
Chicken Little Oh, is that your parents?
Kirby
Pooteetah, pooteetah. [sputtering]
Chicken Little That's it, Dad! Plan B! All we have to do is weave through traffic through town square while avoiding death rays from alien robots. We get to Town Hall, climb up to the roof and give the kid back to its parents.
Chicken Little Runt, just do it. It'll work. We'll survive!
Okay.
Alien Cop
Okay, everything's been put back to normal, except for this one over here.
Chicken Little [Everyone else gasps]
Foxy?
Alien Cop
She got her brainwaves a little scrambled during reconstitution, but, no worries! We can put her back the way she was.
No! She's perfect. [joins Foxy] Lollipop.
Both
[Popping sound]
Lollipop.
Alien Cop
Scary.
Melvin
Whoops. Darling, look at the time. We better can move on. All right, then.
Reporter #1
[The teaser trailer starts with the Walt Disney Pictures logo, then fades to reveal someone recording a camera with text reading, "In Theaters 2005", then pans down to Chicken Little's house]
It doesn't look like he's home.
Reporter #2
Do you think he's in there?
Reporter #3
Maybe he's still at school.
Reporter #2
[As the camera gets closer to the house, some tip-toeing footsteps can be heard]
Wait, wait, wait, wait! What's that?
Reporter #4
[The camera zooms in on an empty toilet paper roll]
Ah, it's just a roll of toilet paper.
Reporter #5
[The off-screen reporters moan until they see chicken legs burst out from underneath the roll, and sneak away]
With legs?!
Reporter #6
[The roll with legs springs up in shock]
That's him!
Reporter #7
[The toilet paper bumps into a metal trash can, revealing Chicken Little hiding under it]
He's trying to get away!
Reporters
Chicken Little! Chicken Little! Chicken Little!
Reporter #4
[The camera rushes over to Chicken Little, with holding microphones surrounding the edges of the lens. Chicken Little runs on a trash lid to escape, only to run in place and fly away]
Did you actually think the sky was falling?
Reporter #2
Did you know it was an acorn?
Reporter #5
Why did your father think of this?
Chicken Little No comment! No comment! [stops at a fence, and tries to get it open]
Reporter #4
Are you concerned about sky-falling copycats?
Reporter #2
Aren't you even related to The Boy Who Cried Wolf?
Reporter #5
Are you really a chicken?
Chicken Little [breathing heavily]
I… Uh, uh, uh… [points] Look! Over there!
Reporter #1
[The camera turns left to a brown dog holding a baseball bat, and wearing a baseball mitt. Next to the dog is a gray bunny wearing a baseball mitt. Their faces are censored. The dog and bunny gasp upon seeing this as the bunny drops the baseball, and they look at each other. The camera turns back to the fence, seeing that Chicken Little has disappeared]
Where'd he go?
Reporter #3
[The camera whirls around to find Chicken Little running back to his house]
There he is!
Reporter #4
Get him!
Reporter #5
[The camera chases after Chicken Little until he jumps into the door's mail slot, only to get stuck. The microphones surround him as he attempts to get out]
Chicken Little, your action caused widespread panic, and subsequently you were blamed and humiliated in front of your town, your father and everyone you know and love!
Chicken Little [Chicken Little stops straining and is confused] [sighs]
Was there a question in there?
Reporter #5
Uh, no. I just wanted to point that out.
Chicken Little [As the off-screen reporters shout at one time, Chicken Little gets out of the mail slot]
Alright, that's enough.
Reporter #6
One final question! Do you think you'll ever get to live this down?
Chicken Little [The scene behind Chicken Little darkens as a heroic score plays in the background. A spotlight shines around Chicken Little as he responds his question boldly]
Yes. Yes, I will! Because I believe in second chances, and I will rise again like the mighty phoenix, and soon everyone will forget! [The background lightens up to its original state as the music stops] It's not like they're making a movie about it.
Chicken Little [Chicken Little laughs and a black title card drops down into place and the film's title. A few seconds later, Chicken Little tears through the two title cards]
It was a simple mistake! People, please, please! I'm begging you! Let it go!
Chicken Little [We cut to the black background with the early release date, "IN THEATERS 2005". Chicken Little enters from the left of the shot as he walks. He stops to look at the release date]
A movie? [sniffles and breaks into tears] The book on tape was bad enough.
[Chicken Little cries as he exits right. Once he's out of view, the final film's title drops into place, reading "This time, the sky is falling", the screen fades to black as the music fades, ending the teaser trailer]
