Yes, to all of the above. And I enjoy Shere Kahn! A very devious villain. I kinda love him too, even for a bad guy.
I also like Goob the Bowler Hat Guy. He was making me laugh last time I saw recently saw it, and he ended up a nice guy in the very end after all. Well, helpless in the future, but then hopeful back in the present at the very end. Plus, the real threat of the movie is his secondary support to DOR-15. “She” really did the damage in the movie, and I think the movie does deserve credit for making the future pretty ugly under that hat’s control.
I would like to add Foxy Loxy. In a way, almost everybody is a “villain” in that movie. They’re antagonists. They do nothing to support Chicken Little, or even themselves! They are villains, but also very bad villains at that as opposed to good villains. And those aliens, too! They were pretty scary at first, but they were so evil that it would be out of context for a Disney film to call them “good villains”. And then it turns out they weren’t harming anybody anyway! Although they did have all those saws, guns, and spinning blades…but that still doesn’t make up for it.
That’s awesome. I agree, I don’t like anything about it. I remember loving a song on an advertisement for the film, but, it wasn’t on the movie anyway.
So true! Somehow, I don’t think Mark Dindal could have made the movie that bad in 5 years all by himself. I think he had ideas, and then was told to fix them by the careless execs at that time, and thus we have the movie that it is today. I could be really wrong, but I just like to think of it that way.
They’re my least favorite villains, too. And I also liked some of the advertisement songs. I was kind of mad when I was little and I found out Chicken Little wasn’t going to dance.
I must admit I’m quite shocked to find out some people like it at all. When i first saw it, I asked if we could get a refund. But, my mom likes it apparently. She thinks it’s “cute”. But with movies, my mom isn’t very bright anyway. She hates whatever I like, and likes stuff like The Notebook.
I love his reviews! They’re fantastic, and I generally agree with his reviews. (except he doesn’t like Three Caballeros. At all.) This one is especially harsh, but he’s usually very positive about the films! But I understand his criticism for this one.
I was never crazy about Marie either. If I had to pick a favorite kitten, it would probably be Berlioz. One aspect of the film that I’m surprised hasn’t come up yet are the two sister geese. For me they are the most unbearable part of the movie. They show up, do nothing but verbally judge and attack O’Malley, and then leave. The saving grace of The Aristocats for me are Napolean and Lafayette, but that’s because I’ve always been a sucker for hound dogs. I have a Basset Hound named Sloan and he is the spitting image of Lafayette.
I recently saw it for the first time, and I guess I think it’s alright. I’m not really a huge cat fan in real life anyway although I’m always trying to be open-minded. So it’s not really my taste, but it’s not even a bad film. I like the O’Malley cat, and I kind of think it’s cute when he and Duchess are being flirtatious with each other. The kittens are okay, though. The main thing I like about it are the dogs, those guys made the movie funny for me! I also like the Paul Winchell cat and the Sterling Holloway mouse, although that’s probably just because of their famous Winnie the Pooh roles. However, I like when the mouse mistakes “O’Malley” with “O’Brien” for some reason, I don’t know why , and when everyone listens to him when he yells, “QUIET!”. I think Edgar is a weak villain, but kind of funny sometimes, like how he told the cat and the horse that he was the cat-napper. Doh! But it’s just okay to me, I guess.
It’s hard for me to see it as an underdog, because until a week ago, I didn’t know it was “bad” or unpopular at all. That’s sad considering how much I’m on the internet. The underdog thing goes both ways, though. There are some films that truly are often underestimated/appreciated, like Dumbo and Treasure Planet. Then there are Chicken Little and HotR, and some particularly horrific sequels. People defend these to the death, and I don’t get it. They’re widely considered awful, and rightfully so. HotR might be okay. But not amazing or worthy of flipping tables or anything like that.
