This soundtrack offers a pretty standard mix of new songs, old chestnuts, and excerpts from the score (here by John Debney). On the new tip, Joss Stone and Patti LaBelle engage in an overheated battle of the divas on CD opener "Stir It Up," a bouncy piece of fluff that sounds more like Aretha Franklin circa "Freeway of Love" than classic soul. Other originals include Barenaked Ladies' "One Little Slip" (this movie's answer to Counting Crows' "Accidentally in Love" from Shrek 2) and the Cheetah Girls' peppy-but-bland cover of "Shake Your Tail Feather." But the real highlights are the songs performed by the movie's vocal cast, which includes Joan Cusack, Garry Marshall, Zach Braff, Steve Zahn, and Amy Sedaris. Their group cover of Elton John and Kiki Dee's "Dont Go Breaking My Heart," for instance, sounds as if half of them were drunk in the recording studio (and this is meant as a compliment.) Braff's a cappella version of "We Are the Champions" is smashing and Cusack and Zahn's take on the Spice Girls' "Wannabe" is completely demented. The kids will laugh; their parents will laugh even harder for completely different reasons. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Once again the score to a Disney animated feature is the highlight of the soundtrack. Granted, it's not the most memorable score but tracks like "Chase to Cornfield" will attract a wider audience than the sung songs which are mainly throwaway pop confections. "Stir It Up" by Patti LaBelle is a very weak song from an amazing talent and it's followed by a lackluster Barenaked Ladies cut and The Cheetah Girls. Who thought up these pairings? And does anyone over five like the Cheetah Girls? You can practially hear the marketing machine trying to appease all segments of their fragmented market.
Sadly, the spoof numbers by the Chicken Little cast are unfunny and annoying. Thankfully they are very short. The longest one runs just under two minutes. In fact the entire album only runs 40 minutes. The songs from R.E.M. and Diana Ross are great on their own but feel out of place with the rest of the tracks. In fact they only highlight the disjointed nature of this soundtrack. It comes across like a bad mix tape.
 I love it!!! November 8, 2005

I love the soundtrack! And the movie! "Chicken Little" is very fun and exciting. If you are in the mood to enjoy yourself, you will love the movie, and accordingly, the soundtrack. I highly recommend both.
The couple of score tracks on the CD are all appropriately good, most notably the cornfield chase. Also, the selection of songs is great.
Five For Fighting's rendition of "All I know" is the high point though. Thats what did it for me. As well as the Barenaked Ladies' new song.
And loving the movie as I did, the cast songs are very fun to listen to and very cute.
Overall I love this soundtrack, it makes me happy.
Awesome soundtrack! March 29, 2006

My favorite song is One Little Slip by Barenaked Ladies the song that's played at the beginning of the film where Chicken Little is running. Chicken Little is ony of my favorite Disney films that I have in my DVD collection. If you like the movie then you will like the soundtrack. Go buy it!

Imagine a kid singing "Don't Go Breaking My Heart". Now imagine over a dozen of them doing it while the end credits of the movie are rolling. I loved the movie, and the inclusion of oldies but goldies in the soundtrack is a wise move from Disney. Get it, you'll enjoy it.
