Chicken Little in Disney 3D

[Lizzybee]

We drove to a bigger fancier theater than we are used to going to so we could see this movie in 3D, and it was completely worth it. I was concerned that it would have lots of forced 3D tricks, but it was mostly just really life like looking. The story was also great. The main themes I saw in the movie were, believe in yourself even when no one else does, parents believe in your kids even when things are less than perfect, your true friends stick with you no matter what, "blending in" isn't always the best thing and different isn't always "bad", people are people and parents are parents. I'm sure there are more messages in the movie but those are the ones I picked up on. It was funny, witty, charming and so visually cool. The standard red/blue glasses do nothing for me during 3D movies. Usually they are torture for me because the glasses just make the colors funny and without the glasses everything looks psychadelic. I can actually SEE Disney 3D. I knew this from Philharmagic and It's Tough to be a Bug. My litmus test for a movie is was it worth the price of admission? This definitely was and then some. We drove nearly 45 mins to the "special" theater in the area that had the movie in 3D and paid almost 5 times the admission I usually pay for movies (the old theater in our town has $2 matinees). Oooh would I be furious if it wasn't great and I'm happy. I give it two Mickey Ears up

We loved Chicken Little in 3-D. It was so much better tech wise than we were expecting. (My daughter got the Barbie and the Magic of Pegisus in 3-D for her birthday and it is plain bad). Both my DH and I thought the effects in Chicken Little were better than HISTA or ITTBAB.

Were you asked to fill out a very long survey about marketing and the movie?

Nope I didn't see anyone doing surveys about the movie. What a shame too, I'd have given Disney a glowing review.

Billwendy, We went to King of Prussia this weekend to see it! Is that too far from you? I think its called King of Prussia Stadium 16 and Imax. I hope this helps.

Did you see it at the Lake in Oak Park?

We had tickets (purchased on-line) for the 6:30 show on Friday. We ran into horrid traffic and then made a wrong exit and got lost and didn't arrive at the theater until until about 7:20. The 8:30 show was sold out, so we went to a restaurant to eat and waited for the 10;30 show!

We didn't get home until after 1 AM! The girls were comatose!

I thought the movie was cute, except for the alien invasion which didn't quite fit IMO, but I didn't think it was great or that it will become a classic.

apljx,,,how much did it cost? we have been to that theater before,,,its a little drive (we are near the airport) but if its really cool to see it that way, maybe i could convince DH!!!

No we live almost up in Wisconsin (Beach Park) so we drove out to Lincolnshire. I was worried about it being sold out for the 7:35 show so I advance purchased tickets on Fandango. As it turned out, it wasn't sold out but the ticket line was huge so I was glad I did it anyway. It was a first for me and it really came in handy. The next show would have been 9:40 and since my kids keep a pretty strict 9pm bed time they would have been pretty crabby.
I thought the alien part was cute because it showed that parents are parents, even alien ones, but I can see your point.

Can only certain theaters do 3-D?? We just went to see it and there wasn't any 3-D offered to us. I heard a rumor that it was 3-D, but then thought it must have been a mistake. And now to find out it wasn't??? Bummer...it would have fun to see it that way!!! Must be in bigger cities??? Thanks!

We saw it on the IMAX type screen and the only theater to offer it 3D locally was the IMAX about 45 mins from my house. Lincolnshire where we saw it isn't a big city, but it is a Chicago suburb.
