| ~ Chicken Little's most famous quote |
Ace Cluck, commonly known as Chicken Little is the titular main protagonist of the 2005 CGI film of the same name. He is bullied by the town constantly for an incident where he believed the sky fell and hit him on the head until he finally gained his town's respect after shooting the winning shot for his town's baseball team. However, aliens then invade the earth and everyone believes him to be crazy again after he is unable to prove it to them until the invasion actually happens, which unbeknownst to anyone else, they are doing simply to rescue their child who was left behind, leaving Chicken Little to save everyone.
He is voiced by Zach Braff.
What Makes Him Pure Good?[]
- After believing that the sky fell and hit him on the head, he ran the bell and warned everyone to run for cover. Even though the sky wasn't really falling, Chicken Little's intentions were still heroic.
- Despite being bullied by the townspeople constantly, Chicken Little didn't let that make him bitter towards them, and instead, he just stayed optimistic and determined to do something great and restore his reputation. He was even willing to help his team in the dodgeball match and help his town win the baseball tournament.
- While rushing to school after missing the bus and trying not to be late, he accidentally runs into an anthropomorphic bull and makes him drop all his papers, but takes the time to pick them all up and stick them on his horn for his convenience.
- When the sky literally fell on him and took Fish away, he, Abby and Runt all decided to chase after Fish so they could rescue him.
- While searching for Fish on the aliens' ship, he and Abby comfort Runt when he has a panic attack, calm him down and refuse to leave him behind despite his insistence that they do so.
- After the alien couple, Melvin and Tina, discover their baby, Kirby, is missing, and mistakenly assume that Ace and his friends kidnapped him (in reality, he just wandered off after them out of curiosity), he saves his friends from them when they’re cornered by ringing the school bell and driving them off despite being extremely scared and traumatized by the thought of everyone refusing to believe and ridiculing him all over again if he does it.
- After realizing the aliens left their kid behind, Chicken Little decides to become friends with him and take care of him in case his parents came back for him.
- When Kirby is about to get hit by a car in the road, Chicken Little saves him by slingshotting himself across the road and taking Kirby with him.
- He finally follows Abby’s advice to talk to Buck Cluck and causes him to realize what a neglectful and terrible father he’s been, which leads to him apologizing and the two reconciling.
- When the aliens invade the town to get their kid back, Chicken Little decides to take action and save his town from being destroyed by returning Kirby to them and stopping the invasion. He does this by convincing his father and his friends to help him get Kirby to the top of Town Hall where the alien mothership is hovering over. He successfully gets him there and reunites Kirby with Melvin and Tina, causing them to call off the invasion, put everything that they transported up to their ships back where they belong and leave in peace, which finally restores his reputation among the townsfolks.
- Even after everything Foxy Loxy has done to him, he still felt concerned for her after she had been brainwashed.
