LPWire: Chicken Little Characters Arrive at McDonalds
Characters From Walt Disney Pictures’ Chicken Little Cross the Road Into McDonald’s(R) Happy Meals and Mighty Kids Meals on Their Way to the Silver Screen
The misfit band of
characters from Walt Disney Pictures’ new animated comedy, Chicken Little, will
cross the road into McDonald’s Happy Meals and Mighty Kids Meals beginning
October 28, 2005, through November 22, 2005. McDonald’s guests will receive one
of eight quirky characters inspired by the film, with the purchase of a Happy
Meal(R) or Mighty Kids Meal(R), at participating restaurants nationwide, while
supplies last.
The eight high-action Chicken Little character toys will bring hours of playtime
fun to kids and collectors as they recreate their favorite scenes from the
movie. The plucky Chicken Little(TM) character toy spins forward and backward by
activating his whizzer - place him in his soda bottle to watch him take off.
Pull the Fish Out of Water(TM) toy backwards to watch him burst out of a
spaceship, and watch Buck Cluck(TM) speed away in his car whizzer. Wind up the
Chicken Little character Baseball(TM) toy and watch him walk safely to third
base, while Runt of the Litter(TM)’s pig fighter glides through the air with
Runt inside. Rev-up Alien Baby(TM) and place him in his spaceship to watch him
zig-zag about, and sing along with Abby Mallard (The Ugly Duckling)(TM) in her
karaoke box. Completing this fun collection of characters is Foxy Loxy(TM) –
energize Foxy’s acorn and prepare for one of her amazing back-flips.
In theatres November 4, Disney’s Chicken Little presents a new twist to the
classic children’s fable of a chicken who causes widespread panic when he
mistakes a falling acorn for a piece of sky. In this hilarious adventure,
Chicken Little is determined to rebuild his reputation when a real piece of sky
lands on his head. This time when it comes to saving the world, it helps to be a
little chicken.
The McDonald’s Happy Meal event featuring characters from Walt Disney Pictures’
Chicken Little will be supported by national television advertising debuting in
the U.S. on October 28. The commercial features original Disney animation of the
Chicken Little character and his friends enjoying a visit to McDonald’s.
McDonald’s guests now have the opportunity to enjoy additional food choices with
their Happy Meals and Mighty Kids Meals including Apple Dippers (fresh, peeled
apple slices) served with low-fat caramel dipping sauce, and beverage choices
including 100% pure Minute Maid apple juice and low-fat white and chocolate Milk
Jugs, served in easy to handle containers.
