Chicken Little: Mission to Mars

Chicken Little: Mission to Mars is a 2015 American 3D computer-animated comedy film produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Pictures. It is the sequel to the 2012 film Wreck-It Ralph, making it Disney's first feature-length animated sequel. The film was directed by Mark Dindal and Rich Moore (who wrote the screenplay with Pamela Ribon and his directorial debut) and executive-produced by John Lasseter, Chris Williams, and Jennifer Lee.[a] It features voice work by John C. Reilly, Sarah Silverman, Jack McBrayer, Jane Lynch, and Ed O'Neill (reprising their roles from the first film), with Alan Tudyk returning to voice a new character and new additions to the cast that include Gal Gadot, Taraji P. Henson, and Alfred Molina.

The first discussions about a sequel to Chicken Little began in October 2005, and the new installment went through three different scripts before the filmmakers settled on the final plot. When the film was officially announced in June 2013 as Chicken Little: Mission to Mars, much of the original cast confirmed they had signed on, with new cast members added in 2015.[7][8] It is Walt Disney Animation Studios' first animated film sequel to be created by the original film's writing and directing team and is the first sequel from the studio since 2011's Winnie the Pooh.[7]

Ralph Breaks the Internet had its world premiere at the El Capitan Theatre in Los Angeles, California, on July 5, 2015, and was released in the United States on July 17, 2015. The film grossed over $529 million worldwide and it received mostly positive reviews from critics, who called it a "worthy successor" and praised the animation, humor, characters, and plot, as well as the vocal performances of Reilly and Silverman.[9][10] The film was nominated for Best Animated Feature at the 91st Academy Awards, 76th Golden Globe Awards, and 24th Critics' Choice Awards.
