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 "Don¹t 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

4.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly Enjoyable, March 26, 2006

By	Akaila Azan "akailaazan" (United States) - See all my reviews

I thought this soundtrack was surprisingly enjoyable. It had a lot of older tracks that were almost appropriately placed in the movie. The songs they picked are the ones I like hearing on the radio in their rarety and are appropriate for children even though when they were made they targeted adults. It was cool.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love it!!!, November 8, 2005

By	Zach (California, USA) - See all my reviews

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.

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!
