thicken Little' in 3-D: Not just for kids

Opinion
Sara Southerland
Intern
"One for 'Chicken Little 3-D/
please."
Even as I asked for my ticket,
I felt slightly uneasy about
spending an hour and a half in
a movie theater full of smelly
kids and their sighing parents.
The last time I remember seeing
anything in 3-D was probably at
Disneyworld in the mid-'90s.
I entered the theater and
held onto the neon green 3-D
glasses and prepared myself
for a cheesy half-entertaining
cartoon. Though as I slowly
tried them on, I couldn't help
but spawn a giddy smile. As
the movie began, the crowds'
reactions to a new "3-D world"
included a chorus of "whoa" and
"awesome" echoing from chil-
dren in the audience.
The movie is based on the old
fable about a crazy little chick
who is convinced the world is
about to end! Young Chicken
Little sends the whole town in an
uproar when he rings the school
bell announcing a state of emer-
gency and announces, "The sky
is falling! The sky is falling!" His
"piece of sky" turns out to be a
fallen acorn, and soon Chicken
Little (Zach Braff) becomes

the object of many sneers and
jeers around his multicultural
town.
The plot roller coasters
through Chicken Little's adven-
tures as he attempts to restore
his reputation, though all he
really wants is to win his father's
approval. But just as things are
starting to look up, a piece of
sky lands on his head. With the
help of his group of "unpopular"
friends, Chicken Little battles
all forces of nature in an effort
to redeem himself and to save
his town. His friends? Abby
Mallard, a quirky and sensible
"Ugly Duckling" (Joan Cusak);
Runt of the Litter, a goofy and
squeamish pig; and Fish out of
Water, a crazy fish with the water

week with a special 3-D showing
at 84 selected theaters across the
nation. Director Mark Dindal
("The Emperor's New Groove")
has created a happy-go-lucky,
fun, yet dramatic, comedy
It is witty and creative, and
made for more than just chil-
dren in a lot of aspects.
Braff plays Chicken Little, and
it's the first time the 30-year-
old "Scrubs" star has voiced an
animated character.
There are many action-packed
scenes that include the gang's
adventures with a flying saucer-
spaceship, running away from
evil alien robots and trying to
rescue a lost alien kid, all while
trying not to send the town into
an uproar. The 3-D animation
puts everything in your face,
almost pulling you into the
scenario. It sounds ridiculous,
I know, but it's rad.
My only complaint is the
soundtrack. The corny tunes
give the movie a "Shrek"-like
feel, and sometimes the songs
are a little over the top.
Overall, "Chicken Little"
sends the message that commu-
nication is key, even though the
ones you love are sometimes the
hardest to talk to.
"Chicken Little" is now playing
at most theaters, and to see it in
3-D, elite style, head to the Rave
Theater in Hickory Creek.
Cheesy? Yes. Is it worth seeing?
Definitely. Needless to say, as I
exited the theater, I was feeling
pretty awesome about my 3-D
movie experience. My friend
and I gave each other a high
five, and went about our days
with a smile.
