Chicken Little Director: Mark Dindal Voicers (English version): Zach Braff, Garry Marshall, Joan Cusack Voicers (Cantonese version): DJ Jim Yan, Charlene Choi Cheuk-yin The story: The film adds a new twist to the classic fable of a young chicken that causes widespread panic when he mistakes a falling acorn for a piece of the sky. This time, the bird and his gang of animal misfits - including Ugly Duckling, Runt of the Litter and Fish Out of Water - try to save the world from an alien invasion. The film: It's Disney's first computer animated production - an attempt to match the popular 3D cartoons of Pixar and DreamWorks. Sadly, Hollywood executives are so hooked on computer effects that they ignore the fact that a good story lies at the heart of a great animation. Why bother? Overseas reviews for Chicken Little have been mixed. But given Disney's marketing prowess and its experience in churning out standardised family entertainment, the film will bring in audiences. A note of warning: Valiant - a British animation dubbed in Cantonese by bizarre personalities and released earlier this year - proved that local celebrities can greatly disservice a film with tasteless dubbing. So try to avoid the Cantonese version, even though Yan claims to have done a better voiceover job than Braff did. Merry Christmas Director: Christian Carion Starring: Diane Kruger, Benno Furmann, Guillaume Canet, Gary Lewis Prelude: During an amazing and forgotten first world war incident, German, French and British soldiers at several locations on the battlefront dropped their rifles, visited their enemies' trenches, exchanged chocolates and played football together on the Christmas Eve in 1914. The soldiers were considered cowards at the time, but as director Carion says: 'They were merely men who accomplished something incredibly human.' The story: The film revolves around the experience of four characters - a Scottish Anglican priest, a French lieutenant, a German tenor and a Danish soprano - whose destinies changed as a result of the incident. Why bother? It's a film about love and peace. What could be more appropriate for Christmas?
