Disney seemed to make sure that the sky didn't fall for the World Premiere of "Chicken Little" on a warm October day. This film marks the studio's foray into not only computer animated features, but into the world of digital 3-D cinema.
As with many Disney premiere events, the stars came out to talk with the press, say hello to eager fans lined up across the street from the El Capitan Theatre, and to see this new film.
The list of film and television stars was lengthy for the premiere. Some of the "Chicken Little" cast came to the premiere, including Zack Braff, Garry Marshall, Catherine O'Hara, Harry Shearer and Fred Willard.
My "cub" reporter, Alexandria, kept me and the other members of the press abreast of the stars arriving. Adrian Bailon, Sabrina Bryan, Brooke Burke, Dick Cook, John Debney, Donald Faison, Joely Fisher, Teri Hatcher, Marilu Henner, Bob Iger, Mike Johnson, Regina King, Chris & Kyle Massey, Mandy Moore, Judy Reyes, Jane Seymour, Alyson Stoner, Keily Williams, and Erik von Detten were all on-hand.
