The film has some cute bits, and I can point to very little about it that's actually bad, but overall, it's just terribly forgettable. By nearly any other animation studio standard, that'd not be such a bad impression to be left with, I guess, but for a Disney Classic, it's terribly disappointing. The story's so basic as to barely be warranting half the running time it has, the characters are not at all warranting the stellar cast, and the funny and/or charming parts (though present) are way show more too few and far between to keep me invested. Yet another example of the thoroughly underwhelming decade of Disney production cluttering up their canon between the excellent Renaissance and Revival periods of the 1990s and 2010s respectively. show less

It's difficult to pull off snark without unfavourably affecting the film overall. Krunk helps save the experience, but it must be said we've all seen each of these characters countless times before.

No one believes Chicken Little when he says the sky is falling.
This is the Walt Disney's company's attempt to compete in the computer generated animation market without Pixar. It pales in comparison. Like many movies designed for children, this one is full of one liners and references for their parents. It almost works, but the lack of coherent story development ultimately sinks it. There are at least three endings, none of which feel satisfying. The animation is good, but nothing show more special.
All in all, this movie is OK, but it never reaches the level of a lot of similar offerings. show less

A selfish emperor is turned into a llama.

Not exactly deep, but it's hilarious. Every time I watch it I'm surprised to find it doesn't get old.
