Plot
"In a universe completely populated with talking animals, Chicken Little's
wildly active imagination and tendency to overreact have made her an outsider at home and
in her community. When she nearly destroys the town in the great "sky is falling down"
debacle, an angry mob forces Chicken Little to shape up. She heads off to Camp Yes-U-Can
where she meets other animals with challenges of their own. But when Chicken Little discovers
that the camp counselors have a dastardly plan, she will have to overcome her history of
paranoia and summon her newfound courage in order to thwart the evildoers"
Notes
According to Variety on June 20, 2002

$80 million, Thomas Schumacher told the Wall Street Journal that Chicken Little
would be mid-size, even cheaper than Lilo & Stitch at around $60 million. The
computer-animated movie is being readied for 2005, which is targeted at around
$60 million.
According to Variety on April 29, 2002

From February 28, 2002 Feature Animated Forum
Chicken little will be done in a more PIXAR/PDI CG look, but both movies are basically
considered for CGI.

Here's a feature that might be coming our way sooner than we thought! 'Michael' just sent in
a copy of the casting call sheet for this CGI feature, which confirms that Mark Dindal
(The Emperor's New Groove) will direct, and Randy Fullmer produce. The official synopsis
goes as follows: "In a universe completely populated with talking animals, Chicken Little's
wildly active imagination and tendency to overreact have made her an outsider at home and
in her community. When she nearly destroys the town in the great "sky is falling down"
debacle, an angry mob forces Chicken Little to shape up. She heads off to Camp Yes-U-Can
where she meets other animals with challenges of their own. But when Chicken Little discovers
that the camp counselors have a dastardly plan, she will have to overcome her history of
paranoia and summon her newfound courage in order to thwart the evildoers" Disney is
currently looking to cast two parts: "Foxy Loxy: Female, 16-40 years old. The ultimate
school bully. Even with a mouthful of braces, Foxy knows just how to antagonize her fellow
classmates and campers, much to her own amusement. Foxy Loxy, Goosey Loosey and Ducky Lucky
form a trio of troublemakers whose favorite target is Chicken Little" And "Run of the
Litter: Male, 16-40 years old. Grew up as the smallest member of his family and still
sees himself as a "wee little helpless pig" -- even though he now weighs in at a formidable
900 pounds. Runt has an undeniably big heart and is selfless in his support of others,
especially Chicken Little upon her arrival at camp" Those interested can send written

September 13, 2001 From Laughingplace.com
Disney, after Dreamworks sucess of Shrek, is very anxious to
produce a satire of fairy tales. So, in late August, 2001, Walt
Disney Studios gave producer Randy Fullmer and director Mark Dindal,
(Responsible for "The Emperor's New Groove") permission to begin
production on a satirical version of Chicken Little. This new
feature film will be produced using CGI.
