Chicken Little. Animated Classic?

[Aladdin from Agrabah]

Well okay, from now on I'll do it by Escapay and capitalize "Animated Classic" and say,

"Chicken Little IS an Animated Classic!"

It's fits into Disney's definition of a "Classic" therefore, is a Classic.

That right there is a fact. Anyone who disagrees, just has fun in arguing!

'Well,okay", if that silly label means so much to you. Sometimes I wonder why the costumers want to protect with their lifes a company's marketing trick. Maybe because they are the victims of that trick.

Is the title indicative of quality? Hardly. If it was, a movie that belongs in the trash heap wouldn't be able to boast the name.

Opinion!

It thought it was better than Finding Nemo and The Little Mermaid.

A minority opinion! One that I've repeatedly said I could less about!

Yeah but I never said that one of those films belongs in the trash can.

Oh wait...

Even when CL is or isn´t, it´s just a Disney movie, and that´s ok for me.

well, almost OK, it was kind of boring to me, but that´s another story.

Dude! Come on! Finding Nemo I can understand, but Mermaid was the Golden Age opener! Can you really even compare the two? One is musical, the other is slapstick comedy (and bad slapstick at that!).

I think we can at least all agree that it is a little pretentous of the Disney Studio to decide themselves whether or not something they produce is an animated classic. This should be left to the viewer, the audience, rather than the artist. IMO though, they can use it as a marketing gimmick - just as long as we don't really consider it a "classic" in the more general sense of the term. Maybe Disney should have made it a trademark - " ANIMATED CLASSIC tm".

PS. I decided not to see Chicken Little after viewing the trailer. I'm sure I didn't miss anything.

It may have been the opener, but the other three were much better!

Can you really even compare the two? One is musical, the other is slapstick comedy (and bad slapstick at that!).

Well no I don't compare the two. If anything, I was insulting people who do.

But since we're on the topic, I do believe Chicken Little's father/son relationship was much better than the father/daughter relationship in The Little Mermaid. After all, what type of father would give their daughter what they wanted after they nearly destroyed the sea!

Overall, I don't really care if you don't like Chicken Little, but I certainly think comments like "it belongs in the trash" are overexagerating. After all, Chicken Little is still way better than almost every DCOM, almost every DTV, every t.v. show on Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network currently and several of the Dreamworks films!

Chicken Little is absolutely an animated classic so it may be called an animated classic. But it is definitely not a classic movie. It lacks the classicality that its famous predecessors have. Disney calls their animated films "animated classics" even though it's not primarily a classic film. So, Chicken Little is considered as an animated classic.

...Well, anyway, this movie is pretty darn cute. And btw, I also love "Finding Nemo" and all other Pixar.
