Chicken Little (2005) Movie Script
[male voice clears throat]
Now, where to begin? [clicks tongue]
How 'bout, "Once upon a time"?
[door slams]
How many times have you heard
that to begin a story?
Let's do somethin' else.
[gasps] I got it, I got it,
here we go.
Here's how to open a movie!
[singing in African language]
No, I don't think so.
It sounds familiar. Doesn't it, to you?
Oh, no, no, not the book.
How many have seen
"opening the book" before?
- [brakes screech]
- Close the book. We're not doing that.
Here's what we're gonna do.
Here's what we're gonna do.
Why don't I just go back to the day
things took a turn for the worse?
Run for your Iives!
Everyone run for cover!
SOS! Mayday! Mayday!
Code red! Duck and cover!
You're all in danger!
- Ah!
- [babies crying]
[grunting]
[Chicken Little] Run for cover!
[steer bellows]
- Run for your Iives!
- [squealing]
- [ringing]
- [siren wails]
Emergency! Emergency!
[screaming]
Whoa!
- Whoa!
- Aaah!
[babies crying]
Look out! Take cover!
[# Raiders of the Lost Ark Theme]
[car horns honking]
[screaming]
[Chicken Little] Run for cover!
[coughs] Chicken Little!
What is it? What's going on?
The sky is falling!
The sky is falling!
- The sky is falling?
- Are you crazy?
No, no, no!
It's true! Come with me!
No. Son? What?
It happened under the old oak tree!
I'm not making this up. It's here.
[stammering] There's a piece
of the sky somewhere...
...somewhere on the ground.
It was shaped Iike that!
- It Iooks Iike a stop sign?
- Yes!
Only it doesn't say "stop"
and it's blue and it has a cloud on it.
And it hit me on the head!
- It Iooked Iike a stop sign.
- Wait! What's that?
- Son, is this what hit you?
- What?
Oh, no, Dad. It was
definitely a piece of the sky!
Piece of the sky. It's OK, everyone!
- Dad, no.
- There's been, Iike, a Iittle mistake.
It was just an acorn that-that
hit my son. A Iittle acorn.
- No! Dad, no.
- Quiet, son.
This is embarrassing enough already.
Chicken Little! What were you thinkin'?
Why put your town's safety in jeopardy?
How could you mistake
a stop sign for an acorn?
- But it... a big acorn Ievel fluh.
- What did he say?
- A big acorn Ievel fluh...
- [reporter 2] It was a big acorn?
- [reporter 3] An ape throwing coleslaw?
- A big acorn Ievel fluh...
[man] Gesundheit!
Ladies and gentlemen,
it's just gibberish,
- gibberish of an insane person.
- Come on, Buck!
Your kid went
and scared us all half to death!
Well, what can I tell you,
folks, my son,
you know... Kids do crazy stuff.
You have kids. It's...
No, Dad. It wasn't an acorn.
It was... it was a piece of the sky.
Really, it was.
You gotta believe me.
[chuckling] A movie. A movie.
They're makin' a movie.
When? When will everybody
forget your big mistake?
When? When will everybody
forget your big mistake?
First it was all over the papers,
then they wrote a book about it,
then the book on tape,
then the board game,
the spoons with your face on it...
...and the Web site,
the commemorative plates.
...and the Web site,
the commemorative plates.
- You saw them, right?
- Yeah. I saw them.
Can't eat off 'em.
- They're not microwave-safe.
- You saw the billboards?
I saw them.
Ha! There's a bumper sticker.
I knew it was only a matter of time.
Billboards I could Iive with.
Posters I could even Iive with.
But a bumper sticker.
It's... it's Iike glued on forever.
It doesn't matter. You know why?
Because I've got a plan.
Yeah, about that.
Well, remember how I told you
it would be better for you to Iay Iow,
don't call attention to yourself?
- Yes, but I...
- See, it's Iike a game.
Yeah, a game of hide-and-seek,
except the goal
is never to be found, ever!
- [stammering]
- Great!
[chuckles] Now, we've got a plan, right?
I'II see ya Iater! Remember, Iay Iow.
Yeah. OK.
Bye.
Look, Mama! There's the crazy chicken!
Yes, it is! Crazy chicken. You're so
smart. We don't make eye contact. Bye!
That's it. Today is a new day.

- Whew!
- Tough morning?
- A run-in with my old nemesis.
- Gum in the crosswalk?
- He won this round.
- Your old foe!
- Mm-hmm.
- Incoming on your right.
- Thank you!
[braying]
Aah! [Iaughing]
[blubbering]
Yeah, I heard about
the movie. Tough break.
- Yeah.
- Maybe it'II just go straight to video.
That's the Ieast of my problems.
This morning... this morning my dad
told me I should basically disappear.
But that's not gonna get me down.
I've got a plan.
You want to hear about it?
- Uh-oh.
- No, no, no! This one's good.
Look, one moment destroyed
my Iife, right? One moment.
- Warthog at 3':00!
- I see him!
- [ball thumps]
- [warthog squeals]
- Yes!
- So I figure all I need is a chance...
AII I need is a chance
to do something great
to make everyone forget the
"sky falling" thing once and for all.
And then my dad'II finally
have a reason to be proud of me.
[coach] Time out!
[snickering]
Nurse!
[dialing]
- Hi, Tiffany!
- Hey, man, what's goin' on?
So, what do you think?
OK, Iisten.
You said the sky was falling.
- Your dad didn't support you.
- I...
And you have been hurting
inside ever since, right?
- It's hurt. It stung. OK?
- It's hurt, but... Yes.
- That's the nutshell.
- OK. Yes, but...
- No. Buh-buh...
- But, it's...
What's got to happen now
is the nut needs to be cracked open.
And not one Iittle chip
at a time, but... bam!
Smash! Bits of emotion flying
everywhere! Anger! Frustration!
Denial! Fear!
Deep depression, in fact!
You see what I'm saying?
Uh...
AII right, forget the nut part.
Here's the main thing.
You have got to stop messing around,
and deal with the problem.
- OK, yes, but...
- Here's the real solution.
You and your dad
talk-talk-talking... closure!
- CIosure?
- CIosure,
talking about something
until it's resolved.
Wait! Hold on! See? Look.
There's a whole section about it
in this month's Modern Mallard.
- Incredibly appropriate!
- I told you, I have a plan.
Yeah, but according to Cosmo Duck,
you should
"stop the squawk and try the talk."
Beautiful Duckling says,
"Avoiding closure with your parents
can cause early molting."
- See? CIosure.
- [sighing]
[Abby] Repeat after me.
You, your dad, talk-talk...
[Chicken Little]
Abby, Iisten! Talking's a waste of time.
I got to do something great so my dad
doesn't think I'm such a Ioser.
Come on. You are not a Ioser.
You're inventive and resourceful
and funny and cute and...
What?
[chuckling, stammering]
Yeah... uh, Runt!
Should Chicken Little have a good talk
with his dad and clear the air
or keep searching for Band-Aid solutions
and never deal with the problem?
Band-Aid solutions!
- Runt!
- Well, I'm sorry!
I'm very bad at reading facial cues.
[sighs] Fish, help me out here.
- [muffled yells]
- [water sloshing]
Men.
'Twas beauty that killed the beast.
I guess only girls are good at
honest communication and sensitivity.
[class Iaughing]
That does it!
We were in a time-out, Foxy!
Prepare to hurt.
And I don't mean emotionally, Iike I do.

[principal] Not showing up for class,
inappropriate school attire,
picking fights in gym class
and the fire alarm?
Ever since that "sky falling" incident,
he's been nothing but trouble!
[sighing] Now Iook, Buck.
You know I have
the utmost respect for you.
I mean, you were Buck "Ace" CIuck,
- our school baseball star.
- [bat hits ball, faintly]
[sighs] But Iet's face the facts.
Your kid, he's nothing Iike you at all.
[Buck] OK.
Thank you for talking to me.
I'II take care of my son.
I... Dad, it wasn't my fault.
- It was Foxy. She's always...
- AII right. It's fine.
You don't have to explain anything.
Uh...
Uh... Hey, Dad? [clears throat]
I was thinkin'. Yeah, what if I...?
What if...?
What if I joined the baseball team?
[man] Hey, why don't you
watch where you're going?!
Sorry, there, buddy! Sorry, sorry.
Baseball? Son, we talked about this.
Yeah, right. But, you know,
that was when I was small.
I put on five ounces this year.
I've really bulked up.
Really, son? Baseball. Are you sure?
Oh, yeah, yeah. I mean,
you know, hey, why not, right?
- Yeah, why not, but why?
- Well, Dad,
you were such a big
baseball star in high school.
You could give me some pointers.
But, son, you know,
I'm just wondering...
Maybe baseball isn't exactly
your thing, you know?
Have you considered
the chess team or the glee club?
And some teenagers, you know, they
get quite a rush from stamp collecting.
- No.
- Wanna stop? We'II get some stamps.
- I don't Iike stamps.
- Colors, colorful things...
No, I was thinkin' baseball!
I can't wait to see
the Iook on your face
when I smack that ball in
for a touchdown!
- [Iaughing]
- [sighing]
Dad... Um, I'm kidding.
That was a... that was a joke.
- [chuckles]
- [chuckles]
Just do me one favor, son.
Why, sure, Dad. Anything.
Just please try not
to get your hopes too high.
Yeah, but Dad, I mean, I...
I mean, I think I can...
[grunts, Iaughs]
I...
[stammering]
OK, Dad.

C'mon Acorns
Fight, fight, fight! Go, Acorns!
[gurgling, screaming]
[announcer] There's excitement
in the air, Iadies and gentlemen.
It's been two decades since
Oakey Oaks has beaten rivals
the Spud Valley Taters.
Down by only a single run,
and with a player in scoring position,
we finally have a chance again.
This excitement isn't about the fun
of baseball, it's not about the prize.
It's about gloating
and rubbing their noses in it,
the "Nah-nah-na-na-na!
We beat you!" taunting, if you will,
- that comes with the winning.
- Yeah!
That's right. Oakey Oaks
and the Honorable Mayor Turkey Lurkey
will finally have bragging rights
again for one full year!
[chuckling, muttering]
But this battle has taken
a heavy toll on our hometown heroes.
After nine grueling innings
and several players out with injuries,
the Acorns are scraping
the bottom of the roster.
Hopefully, there's just enough muscle
on the bench to pull out a win.
Up next... [shuddering] Chicken Little.
- [crowd groaning]
- [crying]
[announcer] CIearly a Iong shot, folks.
Little hasn't been up to bat
once since joining the team.
- He's gonna Iose the game for us!
- [announcer] Wait!
If he can get a walk
and advance to first, that powerhouse
Foxy Loxy can step up and save us all.
She's had a terrific game so far.
A shoo-in for the MVP trophy.
OK, kid, Iisten up.
You have an itty-bitty,
teeny-tiny strike zone.
There's no way he can throw you out!
Take the walk. Don't swing.
- I have a good feeling...
- Look at me. Don't swing.
Take the walk. You hear me?
Just take the walk!
- But, coach, wait!
- Don't swing!
[announcer] Nervous, gangly,
barely able to hold the pine,
Little advances to the box.
He's going to bat from the right.
Make it the Ieft. No, the right.
- The right.
- Easy out!
[announcer] Left field's
found something better to do,
center field's got a hunger pang
in his second stomach
- and right field's digging for grubs.
- PIay ball!
[cheetah] Why him?
Why now? [sobbing]
I won't embarrass you, Dad.
Not this time.
[announcer] Here's the wind-up,
the pitch! It's a high cutter.
- Ball!
- [grunting]
- [gasping]
- [groaning]
Uh... Strike one!
[Iaughing]
I'm not going to sugarcoat it.
I've seen roadkill with faster reflexes.
The catcher Iays down
the signals. Here's the pitch.
Curve ball Iow and outside, he swings!
Stee-rike two!
Ohh!
I said, don't swing!
[crowd] Don't swing!
- No!
- Batter up!
[crowd yelling]
That's two in the hole!
One more strike,
it's a punch out, folks,
and we're all going home.
[whispering] Today is a new day.
[slow-motion] Don't swing!
- [gasping]
- [gasping]
Well, take away my squeaky toy!
It's a hit!
- A hit?
- A hit?
[crowd] A hit?
[announcer] The batter
is unbelievably at home plate.
He's standing in a daze. Run, kid, run!
Go, son! Run! Run!
[crowd yelling]
Run!
[announcer] There he goes,
the wrong way.
- Wait, wait, wait!
- No, no! Not that way!
- Run the other way!
- Turn around!
[announcer] He's turned!
I've never said these words before,
but he's actually
rounding home plate!
- Goosey steps on home...
- [Chicken Little] A new day!
[announcer] A tie game!
They're scrambling in the alley.
Looks Iike Rodriguez has it.
Nope, it's the center fielder!
Mayhem in the outfield,
as Rodriguez is fired to second.
[blubbering]
Catch is complete, but where's the ball?
Little touches the bag
and keeps going. A hunt for the rock.
The fielders are having trouble.
Commotion out there!
- It's stuck! It's stuck!
- Tip the cow!
[announcer] It's the old
tip-the-cow play.
He heads for the hot corner,
a stand-up triple!
- Yes!
- [announcer] Hold up! No!
He's going for the whole enchilada!
The ball of wax, kit and caboodle!
Go back! You're never gonna make it!
- [mooing]
- [announcer] Tries to Iighten his Ioad!
The outfield behind,
Little's on all cylinders!
He slides for the dish!
It's going to be
a photo finish at home!
[gasping]
[coughing]
[bellows]
[umpire] You're out!
[gasping]
[bubbling]
[announcer] Oh, folks.
Folks, what a heartbreaker.
- [umpire] Wait!
- [announcer] Wait!
Wait a cotton-picking second.
Hold your horses, here,
and horses hold your breath.
This might not be over. He...
He's...
Safe! The runner is safe!
[announcer] It's all over, folks!
The Acorns have done the impossible!
For the first time in 20 years,
we won the pennant!
Mothers, kiss your babies!
You've witnessed a miracle!
Remember where you were at this
moment. The smells! The sounds!
There's a new winner in town
and his name is Chicken Little!
That was just a Iucky hit!
[announcer] Yes,
Chicken Little, it's all yours!
The victory, the triumph, the glory!
And getting doused with a sticky drink
that soaks into your undies
and chafes for hours!
This is one memory you'II savor forever!

- [Abby] Yeah!
- [Runt] Yeah!
Yes, yes, yes! We won! We won!

You bet, Dad.
I... [clears throat]
Unless you think we need... closure?
CIosure? What's to close here?
Unless you think we need to close...
- Not me.
- It's closed!
- I agree. Vacuum sealed.
- Shut tight!
OK, great, Dad. You... CIosure, I dunno.

You haven't told your dad yet.
- Well...
- I knew it!
Why haven't you told him?
There hasn't been
- "you, your dad, talk-talk-talking."
- There was talking.
- There was definitely talking.
- Really? What did he say?
Uh...
[mumbles gibberish]
What?
AII right, that's it.
We are doing an intervention!
You have got to stop messing around
and deal with the problem!
- She's right!
- Abby, please.
This is exactly what
fell on me the first time.
There's no way I'm
bringing this up again.
- No, he's not.
- Runt!
Sorry! I'm a gutless flip-flopper.
OK. I'm sure there's
a simple, Iogical explanation.
I mean, it could be
a piece of weather balloon,
or maybe it's part of some
experimental communications satellite.
I don't care. I want it
out of my Iife, gone for good.
Everything back to normal.
Hey, remember when
that icy blue stuff fell from the sky?
Everybody thought it was
from space and stuff?
And it just turned out to be
frozen pee from a jet airplane.
Yeah, that's right. It's frozen pee.
Yeah. It's frozen pee.
Pee, pee, pee, pee pee.
- Could you stop saying that?
- What? Pee?
- Pee.
- Tinkle?
- Piddle? Wee-wee?
- Whiz?
OK, subject change.
- Make pishee?
- I don't care what it is!

I'II jeopardize the mission!
Endanger us all!
Throw me overboard
while you still have a chance!
Just Ieave me some ammo, Iittle water,
some chips if you have 'em.
Calm. OK, all right. Listen.

Come on! If you don't hurry,
you're gonna miss it!
Oh, Iook! A penny!

- Hurry! Hurry!
Come on! Quick! It's taking off!
Come on! Hurry up!
PIease! It's right in...
[reporter 1] What are we Iookin' for?
- [reporter 2] I don't know.
- [camera Iens buzzing]
Uh, yeah. OK.
I know this Iooks bad,
but there's an invisible
spaceship right there
with aliens
who are here to invade Earth!
Let me show you. [grunting]
Ooh, bad throw.
OK, Iet me try again.
- [all] Bad throw.
- We all know I don't have a good arm,
but there's these
cloaking panels on the bottom.
They make it disappear. One fell out
of the sky and hit me right on the head.
Oh, it's the acorn thing all over again.
Eh, there's no story here.
At Ieast we can sell the video
to Chickens Gone Wild.
- I'm telling ya, it was here!
- No, wait! There were aliens!
It's true! They had eyes...
They're glowing and then tentacles!
And maps with planets
with X's through them! Aah!
Runt, that's enough!
Don't make Mommy take away
your Streisand collection!
Mom? You Ieave Barbra out of this!
Why can't you keep
that child of yours under control?
What kind of parent are you?
[Chicken Little] I'm telling the truth.
Dad! Dad! I'm not making this up!
You gotta believe me this time.
[exhales]
No, son. I don't.
[chuckling] I can't tell you
how embarrassed I am, folks.
I'm really sorry about this, everyone.
Looks Iike this is just
a big, crazy misunderstanding.
Well, other than the penny,
this whole evening was a wash!
Mr. CIuck, don't take it
so hard. No one blames you.

[reporter] Reports of panic
and mayhem are pouring in
after yet another Chicken Little
incident last night.
In one instance, a family
of lemmings was sent running in fear,
but unable to find a cliff, they
instead began throwing themselves
[phone rings]
- from the nearest park bench.
- Hello? I'm sorry.
Hello? I apologize.
Hello? Give me a break!
What? You were trampled?
That's terrible.
I thought rabbits' feet
were supposed to be Iucky.
- [on computer] You have hate mail.
- Sorry. That wasn't very funny.
- [computer] You have more hate mail.
- Hi. What are you saying, sir?
Your hate mail box is full.
Oh, yes. I do see the skywriting there.
Thank goodness the cloud
blocked the Iast Ietter. Hello?
- Hey! Watch your mouth. Yeah?
- [woman speaking on phone]
Oh, yeah? Well,
I'd Iike to see you try.
OK, I Iove you too, Mom. Bye.
- [phone rings]
- Hello? Really. Well...
[sighs]
[rustling]
[rustling]
If there was ever a time
to talk to your dad...
...it's now.
[sighs]
It's too Iate for that.
[Runt sobbing]
It's too Iate, baby, now it's too Iate.
[sobbing] Though they
really did try to make it.
- Runt.
- [sobbing]
Just think about it.
Something inside has died
and they just can't hide
and they just can't fake it. Oh, no, no.
[alien sniffling]
Runt, I really just want
to be alone right now.
[sputtering]
[sobbing]
- [screaming]
- Oh! Abby! Runt! Fish!
Look! There!
Look there! Look there!
- What is that thing?!
- Look at that!
[all screaming]

Darth Vader is Luke's father?
[Kirby sniffling]
No, don't...
Come on, come on, don't cry.
We're here for you. We're gonna do
whatever it takes to get you back home.
- Here, blow.

- There you are. Get in the car.
- I gotta tell you something.
- What?
I know, I know! You were right!
AIien invasion. I see that now.
Look up! There it is!
Dad, you know, about that...
[chuckling]
- It's actually a rescue mission.
- Rescue mission?
This alien kid was Ieft
and they're coming back to get him!
We have to help him,
'cause if we don't, who else will?
What?!
Ugh!
Forget it.
You wouldn't believe me anyway.
Son!
Son, come back! Son! Chicken Little!
Mr. CIuck! Wait! He's telling the truth!

Will you two stop messing around

[panting]
- You're never there for me!

OK, that's not
what I had in mind, but...
You're never there for me. I mean,
you were when I won the game,
but not when I thought the sky fell.
And not at the ball field and not now!
This is good! Keep going. Keep going!
You've been ashamed
since the acorn thing.
We have to talk because
Modern Mallard says avoiding closure
can Iead to molting. I'm already small
and I don't think
I could handle being bald!
I...
I... I didn't...

I-I never meant to...

You're right. You're right.

Return this whatever it is?

Just tell me what you need me to do.

Come on, Dad.
We've got a planet to save!
Crazy supportive. That's me! Ohh!
This thing Iikes to nibble,

By the way, I'd Iike to say I've

Wait! Wait! What's goin' on?!
[chuckling]
[gasping]
Oh, they've given her
an alien mind-wipe!
Aaah!
OK, son. What do we do now?
Uh, OK. This is a piece of cake, Dad.
AII we have to do is take the kid down

Melvin, honey?
He's saying they're telling the truth.
It was just a misunderstanding.
[Kirby jabbering]
Well, then. This is awkward.
- Yes, it is.
- I suppose I should...
- Put the big guns away?
- Yes, yes.
- Now put them down.
- Of course.
- And turn off your big voice.
- But I don't...
- Turn it off.
- But...
But I don't get to use
the big voice very often!
Melvin.
Yes, dear.
Hi. Uh, anyone want
to try the big voice?
[Melvin Iaughing] Again,
I cannot tell you how sorry we are
for this whole misunderstanding.
Oh, dear goodness.
We are so very sorry.
We are. And if it hadn't
been for your son there,
well, we might have
vaporized the whole planet.
- What?
- [gasping]
Goodness! What a shame
that would have been.
Where else would we pick our acorns?
- We stop on the way to the in-Iaws.
- Every year.
Looked on all the other planets.
You only find them on Earth.
Just as it says here
on your primitive graphic display.

It was good meetin' ya.
Sorry for the whole
full-scale invasion thing.
But, hey, I'm a dad.
You know how it is with your kids.
When they need ya,
you do whatever it takes.
[sighs] There goes that panel again.
Every year we come,
this thing falls off.
Someday it's going
to hit somebody on the head.
- [gasping]
- Nonsense!
You can't return the panel.
- Now that's ridiculous.
- You threw away the receipt again.

Melvin, did you just try
and use the big voice on me?
[Melvin] Um... uh...
Who we talkin' about?
So I'd Iike to see the movie

Are you ready to rock?

It was shaped Iike that!

Only it doesn't say "stop"
and it's blue and it has a cloud on it.
And it hit me on the head!
- It Iooked Iike a stop sign.
- Wait! What's that?
- Son, is this what hit you?
- What?
Oh, no, Dad. It was
definitely a piece of the sky!
Piece of the sky. It's OK, everyone!
- Dad, no.
- There's been, Iike, a Iittle mistake.
It was just an acorn that-that
hit my son. A Iittle acorn.
- No! Dad, no.
- Quiet, son.
This is embarrassing enough already.
Chicken Little! What were you thinkin'?
Why put your town's safety in jeopardy?
How could you mistake
a stop sign for an acorn?
- But it... a big acorn Ievel fluh.

and scared us all half to death!
Well, what can I tell you,
folks, my son,
you know... Kids do crazy stuff.
You have kids. It's...
No, Dad. It wasn't an acorn.
It was... it was a piece of the sky.
Really, it was.

you were such a big

You could give me some pointers.
But, son, you know,

C'mon Acorns
Fight, fight, fight! Go, Acorns!
[gurgling, screaming]
[announcer] There's excitement
in the air, Iadies and gentlemen.
It's been two decades since
Oakey Oaks has beaten rivals
the Spud Valley Taters.
Down by only a single run,
and with a player in scoring position,
we finally have a chance again.
This excitement isn't about the fun
of baseball, it's not about the prize.
It's about gloating
and rubbing their noses in it,
the "Nah-nah-na-na-na!
We beat you!" taunting, if you will,
- that comes with the winning.
- Yeah!
That's right. Oakey Oaks
and the Honorable Mayor Turkey Lurkey
will finally have bragging rights
again for one full year!
[chuckling, muttering]
But this battle has taken
a heavy toll on our hometown heroes.
After nine grueling innings
and several players out with injuries,
the Acorns are scraping
the bottom of the roster.
Hopefully, there's just enough muscle
on the bench to pull out a win.
Up next... [shuddering] Chicken Little.
- [crowd groaning]
- [crying]
[announcer] CIearly a Iong shot, folks.
Little hasn't been up to bat
once since joining the team.
- He's gonna Iose the game for us!
- [announcer] Wait!
If he can get a walk
and advance to first, that powerhouse
Foxy Loxy can step up and save us all.
She's had a terrific game so far.
A shoo-in for the MVP trophy.
OK, kid, Iisten up.
You have an itty-bitty,
teeny-tiny strike zone.
There's no way he can throw you out!
Take the walk. Don't swing.
- I have a good feeling...
- Look at me. Don't swing.
Take the walk. You hear me?
Just take the walk!
- But, coach, wait!
- Don't swing!
[announcer] Nervous, gangly,
barely able to hold the pine,
Little advances to the box.
He's going to bat from the right.
Make it the Ieft. No, the right.
- The right.
- Easy out!
[announcer] Left field's
found something better to do,
center field's got a hunger pang
in his second stomach
- and right field's digging for grubs.
- PIay ball!
[cheetah] Why him?
Why now? [sobbing]
I won't embarrass you, Dad.
Not this time.
[announcer] Here's the wind-up,
the pitch! It's a high cutter.
- Ball!
- [grunting]
- [gasping]
- [groaning]
Uh... Strike one!
[Iaughing]
I'm not going to sugarcoat it.
I've seen roadkill with faster reflexes.
The catcher Iays down
the signals. Here's the pitch.
Curve ball Iow and outside, he swings!
Stee-rike two!
Ohh!
I said, don't swing!
[crowd] Don't swing!
- No!
- Batter up!
[crowd yelling]
That's two in the hole!
One more strike,
it's a punch out, folks,
and we're all going home.
[whispering] Today is a new day.
[slow-motion] Don't swing!
- [gasping]
- [gasping]
Well, take away my squeaky toy!
It's a hit!
- A hit?
- A hit?
[crowd] A hit?
[announcer] The batter
is unbelievably at home plate.
He's standing in a daze. Run, kid, run!
Go, son! Run! Run!
[crowd yelling]
Run!
[announcer] There he goes,
the wrong way.
- Wait, wait, wait!
- No, no! Not that way!
- Run the other way!
- Turn around!
[announcer] He's turned!
I've never said these words before,
but he's actually
rounding home plate!
- Goosey steps on home...
- [Chicken Little] A new day!
[announcer] A tie game!
They're scrambling in the alley.
Looks Iike Rodriguez has it.
Nope, it's the center fielder!
Mayhem in the outfield,
as Rodriguez is fired to second.
[blubbering]
Catch is complete, but where's the ball?
Little touches the bag
and keeps going. A hunt for the rock.
The fielders are having trouble.
Commotion out there!
- It's stuck! It's stuck!
- Tip the cow!
[announcer] It's the old
tip-the-cow play.
He heads for the hot corner,
a stand-up triple!
- Yes!
- [announcer] Hold up! No!
He's going for the whole enchilada!
The ball of wax, kit and caboodle!
Go back! You're never gonna make it!
- [mooing]
- [announcer] Tries to Iighten his Ioad!
The outfield behind,
Little's on all cylinders!
He slides for the dish!
It's going to be

Hold your horses, here,
and horses hold your breath.
This might not be over. He...
He's...
Safe! The runner is safe!
[announcer] It's all over, folks!
The Acorns have done the impossible!
For the first time in 20 years,
we won the pennant!
Mothers, kiss your babies!
You've witnessed a miracle!
Remember where you were at this
moment. The smells! The sounds!
There's a new winner in town
and his name is Chicken Little!
That was just a Iucky hit!
[announcer] Yes,
Chicken Little, it's all yours!
The victory, the triumph, the glory!
And getting doused with a sticky drink
that soaks into your undies
and chafes for hours!
This is one memory you'II savor forever!

Oh...
[clapping, gurgling]
Hey! Where are you?
- We already started. We were...
- [Chicken Little] It opened up!
What?!
[Chicken Little] AII right, guys.
Watch this.
- Bizarre.
- [Runt whimpering]
OK. Lemme guess.
You haven't told your dad yet.
- Well...
- I knew it!
Why haven't you told him?
There hasn't been
- "you, your dad, talk-talk-talking."
- There was talking.
- There was definitely talking.
- Really? What did he say?
Uh...
[mumbles gibberish]
What?
AII right, that's it.
We are doing an intervention!
You have got to stop messing around
and deal with the problem!
- She's right!
- Abby, please.
This is exactly what
fell on me the first time.
There's no way I'm
bringing this up again.
- No, he's not.
- Runt!
Sorry! I'm a gutless flip-flopper.
OK. I'm sure there's
a simple, Iogical explanation.
I mean, it could be
a piece of weather balloon,
or maybe it's part of some
experimental communications satellite.
I don't care. I want it
out of my Iife, gone for good.
Everything back to normal.
Hey, remember when
that icy blue stuff fell from the sky?
Everybody thought it was
from space and stuff?
And it just turned out to be
frozen pee from a jet airplane.
Yeah, that's right. It's frozen pee.
Yeah. It's frozen pee.
Pee, pee, pee, pee pee.
- Could you stop saying that?
- What? Pee?
- Pee.
- Tinkle?
- Piddle? Wee-wee?
- Whiz?
OK, subject change.

Come on! Quick! It's taking off!
Come on! Hurry up!
PIease! It's right in...
[reporter 1] What are we Iookin' for?
- [reporter 2] I don't know.
- [camera Iens buzzing]
Uh, yeah. OK.
I know this Iooks bad,
but there's an invisible
spaceship right there
with aliens
who are here to invade Earth!
Let me show you. [grunting]
Ooh, bad throw.
OK, Iet me try again.
- [all] Bad throw.
- We all know I don't have a good arm,
but there's these
cloaking panels on the bottom.
They make it disappear. One fell out
of the sky and hit me right on the head.
Oh, it's the acorn thing all over again.
Eh, there's no story here.
At Ieast we can sell the video
to Chickens Gone Wild.
- I'm telling ya, it was here!
- No, wait! There were aliens!
It's true! They had eyes...
They're glowing and then tentacles!
And maps with planets
with X's through them! Aah!
Runt, that's enough!
Don't make Mommy take away
your Streisand collection!
Mom? You Ieave Barbra out of this!
Why can't you keep
that child of yours under control?
What kind of parent are you?
[Chicken Little] I'm telling the truth.
Dad! Dad! I'm not making this up!
You gotta believe me this time.
[exhales]
No, son. I don't.
[chuckling] I can't tell you
how embarrassed I am, folks.
I'm really sorry about this, everyone.
Looks Iike this is just
a big, crazy misunderstanding.
Well, other than the penny,
this whole evening was a wash!
Mr. CIuck, don't take it
so hard. No one blames you.

[reporter] Reports of panic
and mayhem are pouring in
after yet another Chicken Little
incident last night.
In one instance, a family
of lemmings was sent running in fear,
but unable to find a cliff, they
instead began throwing themselves
[phone rings]
- from the nearest park bench.
- Hello? I'm sorry.
Hello? I apologize.
Hello? Give me a break!
What? You were trampled?
That's terrible.
I thought rabbits' feet
were supposed to be Iucky.
- [on computer] You have hate mail.
- Sorry. That wasn't very funny.
- [computer] You have more hate mail.
- Hi. What are you saying, sir?
Your hate mail box is full.
Oh, yes. I do see the skywriting there.
Thank goodness the cloud
blocked the Iast Ietter. Hello?
- Hey! Watch your mouth. Yeah?
- [woman speaking on phone]
Oh, yeah? Well,
I'd Iike to see you try.
OK, I Iove you too, Mom. Bye.
- [phone rings]
- Hello? Really. Well...
[sighs]
[rustling]
[rustling]
If there was ever a time
to talk to your dad...
...it's now.
[sighs]
It's too Iate for that.
[Runt sobbing]
It's too Iate, baby, now it's too Iate.
[sobbing] Though they
really did try to make it.
- Runt.
- [sobbing]
Just think about it.
Something inside has died
and they just can't hide
and they just can't fake it. Oh, no, no.
[alien sniffling]
Runt, I really just want
to be alone right now.
[sputtering]
[sobbing]
- [screaming]
- Oh! Abby! Runt! Fish!
Look! There!
Look there! Look there!
- What is that thing?!
- Look at that!
[all screaming]

Darth Vader is Luke's father?
[Kirby sniffling]
No, don't...
Come on, come on, don't cry.
We're here for you. We're gonna do
whatever it takes to get you back home.
- Here, blow.

- There you are. Get in the car.
- I gotta tell you something.
- What?
I know, I know! You were right!
AIien invasion. I see that now.
Look up! There it is!
Dad, you know, about that...
[chuckling]
- It's actually a rescue mission.
- Rescue mission?
This alien kid was Ieft
and they're coming back to get him!
We have to help him,
'cause if we don't, who else will?
What?!
Ugh!
Forget it.
You wouldn't believe me anyway.
Son!
Son, come back! Son! Chicken Little!
Mr. CIuck! Wait! He's telling the truth!
He is! [gasping]

[panting]
- You're never there for me!

OK, that's not
what I had in mind, but...
You're never there for me. I mean,
you were when I won the game,
but not when I thought the sky fell.
And not at the ball field and not now!
This is good! Keep going. Keep going!
You've been ashamed
since the acorn thing.
We have to talk because
Modern Mallard says avoiding closure
can Iead to molting. I'm already small
and I don't think
I could handle being bald!
I...
I... I didn't...

I-I never meant to...

You're right. You're right.

Come on, Dad.
We've got a planet to save!

By the way, I'd Iike to say I've

Wait! Wait! What's goin' on?!

[gasping]
Oh, they've given her

Aaah!
OK, son. What do we do now?
Uh, OK. This is a piece of cake, Dad.

Melvin, honey?
He's saying they're telling the truth.
It was just a misunderstanding.
[Kirby jabbering]
Well, then. This is awkward.
- Yes, it is.
- I suppose I should...
- Put the big guns away?
- Yes, yes.
- Now put them down.
- Of course.
- And turn off your big voice.
- But I don't...
- Turn it off.
- But...
But I don't get to use
the big voice very often!
Melvin.
Yes, dear.
Hi. Uh, anyone want
to try the big voice?
[Melvin Iaughing] Again,
I cannot tell you how sorry we are
for this whole misunderstanding.
Oh, dear goodness.
We are so very sorry.
We are. And if it hadn't
been for your son there,
well, we might have
vaporized the whole planet.
- What?
- [gasping]
Goodness! What a shame
that would have been.
Where else would we pick our acorns?
- We stop on the way to the in-Iaws.
- Every year.
Looked on all the other planets.
You only find them on Earth.
Just as it says here
on your primitive graphic display.

We better get a move on.
AII right, then.
It was good meetin' ya.
Sorry for the whole
full-scale invasion thing.
But, hey, I'm a dad.
You know how it is with your kids.
When they need ya,
you do whatever it takes.
[sighs] There goes that panel again.
Every year we come,
this thing falls off.
Someday it's going
to hit somebody on the head.
- [gasping]
- Nonsense!
You can't return the panel.
- Now that's ridiculous.
- You threw away the receipt again.
[echoing] Silence!
Melvin, did you just try
and use the big voice on me?
[Melvin] Um... uh...
Who we talkin' about?
So I'd Iike to see the movie

Are you ready to rock?

# Baby, you're not that kind
# Oooh
# And nobody knows it
- # When I was down
- # I was your clown
# Oooh
# And nobody knows it
# Nobody knows
# Right from the start
# I gave you my heart
# Ahhh
# I gave you my heart
[gurgling in tune]
[Runt] # Don't go breaking my heart
[Foxy] # I won't go breaking your heart
[both] # Don't go breaking my
Don't go breaking my
# Don't go breaking my heart
# Don't go breaking my
Don't go breaking my
# I won't go breaking your heart
- # Don't go breaking my
- Baa.
- # Don't go breaking my
- Baa.
# Don't go breaking my heart
Come on, Runt. You can do it.
# Don't go breaking my
I won't go breaking your heart
- # Don't go breaking my
- [panting]
- # Don't go breaking my
- You got to act quickly, Dad. Try this.
- # Don't go breaking my
- There you go!
- # Don't go breaking my
- There it is!
# I won't go breaking your heart
- [Kirby, Morkubine beatboxing]
- I'm having fun now!
# Don't go breaking my heart #
That was great!
Let's sing it again!
