Kids will cry bad parenting just because their parents won't cater to their every demand and drop what they're doing no matter what that is, or spoil them rotten like other parents do with their kids. This particular instance yeah, buck ain't good and is rightfully called out, but people forget kids can get very spiteful when they don't get everything they want, when they want it. Even if the rules they try to enforce are reasonable, the kid still might see them as being "bad parents".

Something I'd like to note about the ending is that in the movie, the actor meaning to represent Chicken Little is called Ace. Chicken Little's full name is apparently Ace Cluck and Chicken Little is just what everyone calls him. His father was called Ace, and HIS actual name is Buck Cluck. So he named his child after himself, and now that Chicken Little turned out not to have been insane after all, he actually gets to use his real name??

I understand kids and classmates probably not wanting her to change back… I think that is fairly realistic… Another bully would want to take her place and everyone else would just not want to be bullied anymore… the rest would be too focused on themselves to care about what is going on with Foxy… and depending on how good her parent(s) is/are they may or may not care, or may themselves think she is easier to deal with… (which would be really sad)…it would lie with the parents to get her help in the end. (Where were her parents? Were they even worried about her?) I think that it more conveys the message that people don’t like bullies to the point they will accept an artificial or even harmful change in the kid as improvement. Morally the alien should have fixed her mind instead of listening to a middle school boy’s desires… someone should have spoken up and made it happen… I don’t expect an apology from Foxy because THAT doesn’t seem believable. Realistically she would be just as mean as before… In the end though it is a movie… I don’t really care enough to argue for how a movie done in the 2000s was done… I think we need to just watch and learn from it with discernment. Realize what is being portrayed is wrong and move on.

2:10 You know what makes Buck even worse? For people to be selling a board game, movie, mugs and everything related to Chicken, these people would need the authorization of use of image. And since Chicken Is a kid, then his father *AGREED* to all of this being published and Is *PROFITING* from his son's legitimate and his "legitimate" embarrassment.

Director Mark Dinal (Cats Don't Dance, The Emperor's New Groove) had originally meant to make a more heartwarming adaptation of the story where instead of aliens, it was wolves in disguised as prey critters, similar to the original story. And the dad while still being a jerk, saw much earlier that he was wrong in how he spoke to Chicken Little, who was originally a girl not a boy. But apparently, Disney was having their thumbs up their behinds, and decided to ignore these nice ideas and instead put in their own agenda.

This movie could've been great if they had both chicken little and Buck go on different emotional journeys at the same time both trying to mend their relationships

I hate to break it to you, but in one of those scenes, Buck Cluck said “Chicken Little is crazy.”

I've held great resentment for Chicken Little's dad for the longest time. His shallowness, his negligence, his lack of support in any and all of Chicken Little's endeavors..... he was one of the first animated characters that made me think: "Wow, he's horrible." Buck's "redemption" was not believable at all and left a younger me very bitter about the resolution. Glad to know you're just as frustrated at him. On another note, this was a hilariously great reaction. It was fun being angry at Buck while you got angry at him, too. Ah, if you're ever up for movie recommendations, I'd definitely suggest: "The Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'hoole" or "Wolfwalkers". Both great movies. Keep up the great content, Welchy!

I view my Dad as someone to respect but not really someone I should open up to, well at least not yet. My father has knowledge and wisdom which I do use in my day to day life. Most of my morals came from him. But there are moments where I wish I can open up to him. He exudes this no bullshit attitude and it shows. One of the things he taught me is to separate information into a need, have and nice to know. I don't even know if he'd understand me. He was already an exceptional person since before I was born. When I realized that I was the son of a very, very exceptional person well that cut deep and it still does. I put on a facade. I suspect if I ever open up, he'd not like that. Well, if I ever opened up to myself to I'd hate that. Just to clarify, my father is not a an asshole or something, that title belongs to my Mom. He's just the no bullshit man that leads the way. I just want to open up to him before he passes away. So yes, thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

The aliens tore apart the town looking for their child. Buck never once had his own kid's back, just because he was worried about preserving his reputation, and he has the audacity to accuse them of bad parenting?

Apparently this movie did not flop in Japan, where it was mildly successful. It makes sense as a lot of the behaviour that looks odd elsewhere - such as Buck being so concerned about what the neighbours think of his family, and Chicken Little being ostracised by the town over ONE mistake, are quite normal in Japan. Compare the townspeople and the parents of this movie to the townspeople and the parents in the beginning of Kotoura San, it’s almost like you’re seeing double. Buck Cluck isn’t some disturbing outlier, he’s an archetype of a toxic Japanese father.

Don’t even need to burn the side of their kid’s face ( *cough* Fire Lord Ozai). He just has to be ignorant and dismissive of his kid (until that kid begins to succeed), unwilling to stand up for them in moments of crisis, and when confronted about his actions by said kid, blame outside circumstances for his behavior. I especially love the fact that he says stuff like, “If your mother were here, she’d know what to do.” Hell yeah, she would; she’d divorce you, file a restraining order, take full custody of the kiddo, leave you penniless, and move as far away as possible, because you, sir, don’t deserve to be called a father, let alone “Dad.” Fuckin’ hell.

The visuals have not aged well. Half of the jokes are outdated or delivered poorly. The editing is just barely passable. The pacing is all over the place. The dialogue is a little clunky in spots. The soundtrack is actually pretty good, but that's only because it doesn't feature any original songs. The absolute best I can say about it is that it's at least trying to be a movie, unlike other bad films I've seen, and it does have a few decent moments, but it still fails overall pretty miserably.

You might be right, but any good commentary would show you, in one way or another, that what these people are doing is stupid or wrong or immoral. Usually, by having the story try to correct the behavior, or point out what's wrong about it or the negative effects of it. Sometimes it can be done by calling the behavior ok and then taking it to the extreme to help the audience draw the conclusion you intend for them to. This movie goes the first route with the way their society and the dad respond to what's happening and generally devalue some of these kids... but we don't see that with foxy. The movie treats it like it's normal and everyone goes about their lives. So, if the foxy thing is commentary, then they're being very inconsistent and I would call it bad storytelling.

Here's soemthing I just found out on TV Tropes; apparently Foxy Loxy originated in an earlier Disney Short of Chicken Little back in 1943. Though that Foxy was a male character and was more villainous than the bully in this movie.

Chicken Little: "You've gotta believe me this time!" Buck Fuck: "I do, son" Welchy: "Bullshit! He's sending him off to die" That killed me lmao. It's sad, I loved this movie as a kid and I rewatched it once as a teenager, and as a teen I remember actually being really invested in the "closure" scene where Chicken Little confronts his dad. Their whole relationship hit way too close to home for me throughout the movie, and watching the confrontation I really wished I had a dad like that, I still thought he was forgiven too easily but at least he gave enough of a shit to listen and try to be better when his kid called him out. And looking back now I'm like, the bar was so low lol. This guy isn't even a good father and his apology was weak af.

What's more fucked up about this is that way back in 2020 Disney posted on Twitter about parents who are "always there for you", and Buck was one of the parents who were "there for his child". Of course, he wasn't a good father and Disney got backlash from that...

I hated Buck. He was an awful father. Instead of supporting his son, he became one of the people who made Chicken Little seem like a joke to the rest of the town. He only supported the kid once he actually did something to gain "reputation" points, and that caused Chicken Little to be fearful of letting it go back to him being himself.

Same. Legit it was so awful that Chicken didn’t actually receive any love or support UNTIL he got the winning hit in the baseball game. And once the incident occurred again, his dad IMMEDIATELY turns his back on him. And has the freaking nerve to say “and I’m sorry if I ever made you feel you had to earn my love” Like he even tried discouraging him from playing baseball, or thinking he could do amazing things. He was the worst of the bullies, never even trying to talk to him unless things go wrong

The fact that he feels like he has to hide stuff from his father even though it may(in this case it would have aided him) aid him is just sad. Speaking from experience, I really relate to Chicken Little in this sense, being belittled, cut off, and possibly more.

Chicken little caused mayhem and literally murdered an entire cinema of people but the intro just goes "one little slip"

first time i watched this movie was with my mom and she treats me the way this dad does. she didn't understand how terrible he was

Chicken little goes hard, idk what you're saying

When I was little I used to like Buck because he reminded me of my own father. I didn't realize he was such a bad dad until someone pointed it out to me.... Not a good sign.

"i meant to buy chicken run but i accidentally bought chicken little" oof, ouch

At first, I kind of liked this story as a kid. Then when I grew more, I learned and subsequently agreed that the townspeople are a piece of shit for milking just one tiny little episode of a possibly mentally handicapped person. Like JFC. Enough already. And Buck couldn’t have come to his defense? Like call them out on being total douche bags to someone who is presumably between 5 and 10 years old? Even the fact that they are even MILKING this and instead of saying “oh he’s a child, let’s just move on” to “haha this dumb kid thought the sky was falling, let’s make a book, and a movie, and a bumper stickers and...” even to the point where Buck actually acknowledges that they went overboard. But not once did he lift a feather to call them out on their bullying. And then you said that the town completely overreacted and I totally agree now that you mention it. This movie gets worse each time I revisit it.

Chicken Little is actually a teenager

Finally someone that agrees that the townspeople deserved to go through that alien invasion. Literally their own fault that it happened.

As a Neurodivergent person growing up with people who didn't understand me or how my mind worked I relate to chicken little And that's why this will always be one of my favorite Disney movies Is was the first Disney movie where I felt like the main character was like me

This movie is an absolute trip. Not necessarily a good one, but a trip nonetheless.

2:57 "This is the worst father I've ever seen" Oh wait for him to get worse

Honestly, the aliens (or their robotic suits to be specific) have to be the coolest designs I’ve seen in these movies

This film is unfiltered AND unhinged. For some reason I binged this in repeat to remember every detail of it when I was a kid.

to be fair about Buck not wanting his son to play Baseball. Chicken is tiny, and Baseball is a surprisingly grueling game.

@@jaydeleon8094 Yeh, the main character's real name was Ace Cluck. WHICH ACTUALLY MAKES IT WORSE BECAUSE HIS DAD ALSO CALLS HIM THE INSULT THE TOWN USES FOR HIM.

I kinda understand why nobody wanted to revert foxy back since she was a bully and none of the kids wanted to be victims again so they all collectively decided to keep her that way probably had a "i can breathe again" moment yes even bullied victims can be assholes whether they realize it or not
