and so dash finally got down to watching this animation "chicken little". in 2005, some of dash's friends were totally raving about the movie and how adorable chicken little is and how the antics of chicken little and his friends such as ugly duckling got them all cracking up. and of cos, they didn't just watch it once - they even sat through the animation TWICE within a month! but to each their own i guess. in an acorn nutshell, the story unfolds to reveal communication issues and trust between parents and their child. for a movie that spent so much time and efforts making sure that the things the characters say and do are as close as possible to approximating human social needs and interactions; yet the conflict resolution between the parent and child was too hastily wrapped up to the point that the changes in behaviour of the characters were unrealistic.
while sitting through the hour-plus movie, dash spent 30% of the time wondering how chicken little's glasses were held up by his non-existent ears and whether the anatomy in the chicken's wings have opposable digits; another 30% of the time trying to catch a glimpse of her favorite character in the movie: fish-out-of-water; and then 30% of the time checking the time bar to estimate how long more it would take for the movie to end; and the last 10% of the time trying to figure out why her friends all raved about the movie.
hrmmm. uh-uh. D: either dash's funny bone is just on holiday or the jokes and antics just somehow seem not to tickle dash's funny bone. hrmmm. ):
thank goodness there is fish-out-of-water to save the movie/day for dash! interestingly, fish-out-of-water totally reminds dash of kenny from south park -- both are predominantly dressed in orange, and makes muffled or gurgling sounds, and their muffles and gurglings are understood by specific charaters in the animation. however, dash is happy to see that no fishes were killed at the end of the movie! *phew*

Definitely not a first-rate movie, although it comes from the director of the classic "The Emperor's New Groove." I certainly don't look to goofy animated films to be lectured about parent-child trust, but maybe that does it for some people.
kekek yeah, probably :)
but of course, the actual story "chicken little" was rather straightforward a story with everyone eaten up by the foxes in the end. guess they had to give the story more meat (ahem, okay, more interesting bits) to sustain the audience's interest. but alien invasion and crop circles?! eeks. O_O sure didn;t work for me!
