I have already seen this very good movie three times. "Chicken Little" is my new hero, and I will probably see it at least once or twice more before I sit back and wait for the DVD release.

I really like this movie a lot!!

[Andy]

And re-read your post before submitting making sure all your spelling is ocrrect and your grammar is in line.

I have already seen "Chicken Little" four times and plan on seeing it at least once more before waiting for the DVD release.

I hope that was done on purpose?

Sorry, I'm from Rome, so when I write fast I can make some mistake.

I feel mean now.

Don't let me scare you off, I'm very strange.

Two of my favourite things are cows and cheese. 'Nuff said.

Thanks for posting all the Kudos to Disney - makes me feel better. I am stuck on a rush job and have not been able to go see it! I am hoping by Friday to be able to see it.... and hopefully since it is doing good (does anyone have the latest figures?) it will still be at the theater in 3-D in Glendale.... But I am prepared to go wherever I have to to see it in 3D!

[isaac15]

Well, today in the daily box office, it's no.1. It made close to 3 million today. Yesterday it was at no.2 with a little over 1 million.

I was wondering...
Does Mc Donnalds or Burger king will release the toys of the movie?
This toys will be for the kid´s meal or also for the chicken burger?

[isaac15]

[Maerj]

Just wanted to say here again for those who are thinking about seeing this film, really try to make an effort to see it in 3-D. You won't be disappointed. I plan on seeing it again this weekend myself... and I plan on taking others with me!

Most of you will be pleased to know that Chicken Little has done well overseas, with the only exception being Taiwan at present. It's opened in 3 countries this week, Mexico, Malaysia and Taiwan. It opened no. 1 in both Mexico and Malaysia!! ^_^

In its overseas bow, Chicken Little scored the biggest opening for an animated title ever in Malaysia, grossing an estimated $477,000 from 40 screens to top Pixar's The Incredibles by 33 percent. In Russia, the computer-animated comedy grossed an estimated $1.1 million from 197 screens, logging the fourth biggest animated opening there. The picture also opened in kid-friendly Mexico to a solid $3.1 million from 600 screens, which was below Dinosaur and Finding Nemo but still strong for the genre. Taiwan wasn't as impressive with $450,000 from 18 screens.

Hmm..how come Luke hasn't been posting about this on the main page?

[Isidour]

well, it have been doing good profits here, and the proof of it is the long lines waiting to enter and watch it, even 1 hour before start

Of course I like the forum, and the site: for me they're the best on the net. Much better that disney.go.com ones.

In Italy we won't have this possibility. My personal opinion, anyway, is that the most important thing 'bout movies is the story. In this case the story is totally taken from other pictures. There's nothing new. Pixar films (and other not-Disney 3D products) are great becouse of their stories. Even theme parks shows (like Philarmagic) are better than the chicken. They have somthing original. I could say the same thing 'bout "Lilo & Stitch"'s trailers. This is just my personal opinion, of course.

Hey this might be a question I can finally answer, I was at McDonalds yesterday and they are putting something, a toy, in the Happy Meal. The bag the Happy Meal comes in is a total Chicken Little packaging. It looked pretty cute.

Disney toys also are in the Kellogs brands of cereals. Prior to Chicken little they were putting free wobblers of Disney's animated characters (which I really liked but the boxes sold out fast so I only got 4 wobblers) and now it is a chicken little character that comes in the package. I have not seen the movie yet, so I am not sure what chicken little character I got out of the cereal last night when I opened a box up.

I have not been to Burger King so not sure what promotion they are doing with Chicken Little.

[Pluto Region1]

Well, today in the daily box office, it's no.1. It made close to 3 million today. Yesterday it was at no.2 with a little over 1 million.

How do you find that out? Is there a website or you hearing about this on the news?

[Escapay]

They're not doing a promotion for Chicken Little. Disney and McDonalds have a contract where only McDonalds distributes Disney merchandise with their happy meals.
