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 and 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.
