About the Chicken Little Video Games
Walt Disney Pictures' Chicken Little catapults players smack dab into the
middle of Oakey Oaks, Chicken Little's hometown, where they will experience
first-hand all of the action, humor, fun and heart-warming adventure as
portrayed in the film. Taking on the roles of Chicken Little and his friends
Abby Mallard, Runt-of-the-Litter and Fish-out-of-Water, players must try to
outwit bully Foxy Loxy and save the town from an alien invasion all the while
attempting to reverse Chicken Little's tarnished reputation from that
unfortunate "acorn incident." You know, the one where he shouted, "The sky is
falling!" causing mass chaos in the town of Oakey Oaks, and earning him the
reputation of town fool.
Now, Chicken Little goes from zero to hero in the film. Disney
Interactive's fast-paced, action-adventure game will feature innovative
gadgets, pickups, side-quests and mini-games as well as multiplayer gameplay.
In addition, each game version will incorporate clips from the movie for
players to view and enjoy.
