Trivia:
Loosely based upon the fable "The Sky is Falling". The story only bears minute similarities to the movie, such as the idea of "the sky is falling" and the rhyming names (Turkey Lurkey, Foxy Loxy, et al). The story was previously adapted by Disney in 1943 as Chicken Little (1943). moreGoofs:
Continuity: After Kirby (the baby alien) blows his nose, Chicken Little lays the handkerchief on the ground. In the next shot, the handkerchief is gone. moreQuotes:
[first lines]Buck Cluck: [voice over] Now, where to begin?
[shaft of light and pixie dust]
Buck Cluck: How about "Once upon a time"?
[screen suddenly goes black]
Buck Cluck: How many times have you heard that to begin a story? Let's do something else.
[gasps]
Buck Cluck: I got it. I got it. Here we go. Here's how to open a movie.
[opening to The Lion King]
Buck Cluck: No, I don't think so. It sounds familiar, doesn't it to you?

This is done well enough to satisfy the most indiscriminate, but even those children in my acquaintance who were above the age of nine were dissatisfied with this animation, citing rough edges, and a complete disregard for detail where backgrounds and set props were concerned.
The story is the familiar story of most movie-goers' childhood, hidden deep, but it is in there, about a chicken who, when hit by something from the sky (pine straw, perhaps?) proclaims the sky is falling, much to the amusement of the other barnyard residents of the chicken's fair village. This has, of course, been Disneyized, made into a father/son thing, and child characters were invented for the further Disneyization to be complete.
This is not great, and offers little for the family, OR adult audiences. This was aimed mostly at the kiddies, and only the younger ones will (at least in my experience) typically enjoy this. Probably because the "dad" in this is a self-centered, faithless mook who cares about no one but himself. Even after he shows support of his son, it's all about "look at me, look how supportive I'm being!" instead of Chicken Little and HIS accomplishments. He sucks as a father, and who wants to see that? There are too many in real life, who suck, for this to be enjoyable.
