Plot Summary
In the town of Oakey Oaks, “Chicken Little” Cluck rings the school bell and warns everyone to run for their lives. This sends the town into a panic. Eventually, the Head of the Fire Department calms down enough to ask him what is going on. He explains that the sky is falling because a piece of it had fallen on his head when he was sitting under the big oak tree in the town square; however, he cannot find the piece. His widowed father, Buck “Ace” Cluck, who was once a middle school baseball star, assumes that it was just an acorn that had fallen off the tree and had hit him on the head, making Chicken Little the laughingstock of the town.
A year later, Chicken Little has become infamous in the town for being prone to ruin everything accidentally. His only friends are other outcasts: Abby Mallard, Runt, and Fish Out of Water. Chicken Little joins his school’s baseball team to recover his reputation and his father’s pride but is made last until the ninth inning of the last game. He hits the ball and makes it past first, second, and third bases but is met at home plate by the outfielders. He tries sliding onto the home plate but is touched by the ball.
While it is presumed he lost the game, the umpire brushes away the dust to reveal Chicken Little’s foot is touching home plate, thus declaring him safe and the game won; Chicken Little is hailed as a hero for winning the pennant. Later that night back at home, Chicken Little is hit on the head yet again by the same “piece of the sky” — only to find out that it is actually a panel that blends into the background. He calls his friends over to help figure out what it is.
