This page details pre-release information and/or media for Chicken Little (GameCube, PlayStation 2, Xbox, Windows).

Careful, you'll lose an eye.

This page or section needs more images.
There's a whole lotta words here, but not enough pictures. Please fix this.

To do:
As far as I recall, there's a prerelease image of uniform hunt showing a completely different HUD.

Prerelease content for Chicken Little contain a few interesting differences.

Though the game received an overall mixed reception, it's retrospectively seen as a better experience than the movie itself.
