ABOUT THE FILM: Chicken Little is a 1943 short film created by Walt Disney during World War II and directed by Clyde Geronimi. The short was based on the European folk tale "Henny Penny," known in the United States as "Chicken Little." It is an anti-Nazi film showing the evils of mass hysteria.
The folk tale was adapted by Disney again into a separate full-length film of the same name in 2005, with Zach Braff as the titular protagonist and directed by Mark Dindal.
ABOUT THE MEDIUM: Photostat Model Sheets are reference guides used by animators to ensure consistency in character design, proportions, and expressions throughout a film. These printed sheets typically feature multiple poses, facial expressions, and turnarounds of a character, often photocopied from finalized drawings by lead animators. Model sheets help maintain uniformity in animation by providing a standard reference for all artists working on a character, preventing visual discrepancies between different scenes.
