After Chicken Little causes widespread panic--when he mistakes a falling acorn for a piece of the sky--the young chicken is determined to restore his reputation. But just as things are starting to go his way, a real piece of the sky lands on his head. Chicken Little and his band of misfit friends, Abby Mallard (aka Ugly Duckling), Runt of the Litter and Fish Out of Water, attempt to save the world without sending the town into a whole new panic.

The original plans were to have the beginning of this film, telling the establishing story of Chicken Little and the acorn, in traditional ("hand-drawn") animation. Don Knotts, who supplied the voice of Turkey Lurkey, the town Mayor, recorded the voice track as the narrator for this sequence. The idea was abandoned and that part of the story was refashioned as a main part of the film and done in computer animation.

Mayor Turkey Lurkey:
[to an alien] Oh, we surrender! Here, take the key to the city!

[alien zaps the key]


Mayor Turkey Lurkey:
[holds up another key] Key to my car?

[alien zaps key and car at the same time]


Mayor Turkey Lurkey:
[holds a box of Tic Tacs] Tic Tac?

[alien zaps Lurkey]

Factual errors: If you look at the scoreboard at the beginning of the scene at the game, you see "Taters: 4 2 4 1 2 1 : 14 Acorns: 3 2 4 1 3 2 : 13" But, if you add them up, the Acorns score comes to 15.
