Jim Hill Media today has a “mélange” of news including an update on Disney’s Chicken Little.

It’s this really funny film by the guys who did The Emperor’s New Groove: director Mark Dindal and producer Randy Fullmer… Everything that made Groove great – the film’s stylish look, its snarky story qualities, not to mention it’s a-huge-new-laugh-every-3-seconds pacing – Chicken Little has got in spades”. The film has had a significant number of changes during its development and production, including the cutting of Penn Jillette’s (of Penn and Teller) “wolf-in-sheep’s-clothing camp counselor character”. However, the writer concludes that Chicken Little is going to be a “great little movie. The film that will finally show the world what Disney can do when it decides to get serious about CG”.
