On Monday, March 20, Walt Disney Home Entertainment culminated a nationwide hunt for the honorary real-life Chicken Little – and crowned a different kind of Hollywood star!

The result of an expansive search of hundreds of U.S. chicken farms for the perfect “real-life” poultry star, chicken finalists were flown to Hollywood, where they strutted their stuff down a special chicken “runway” to a special Chicken Little measuring stick, in hopes of being sized-up for the title of honorary “real-life” Chicken Little!

Chicken Little Producer Randy Fullmer was present to measure and crown the winning chicken. The winners were Matt and Laura John, from Winchester, Kentucky with their lucky chicken Elvira.

Chicken Little is available on DVD March 21, 2006.
