Plot

Chicken Little is the story of a chicken, named Little that believes the sky is falling and rings the school bell to warn the town to run for their lives. The town goes into a state of panic until they find out that the "sky" that fell on his head was actually an acorn, at which time Little becomes the laughing stock of Oakly Oaks. Little tries to gain his father's respect by joining the Little League at school. He is then hit in the head by something that seems to be a piece of the sky, but turns out to be a camouflage piece of an alien spaceship. The town then realizes that Little was telling the truth and must fight off the aliens to save the planet.
