Honestly I feel like more people need to know about Chicken Little.

And I don't mean the 2005 film I mean the actual fucking fairytale/fable

It's pretty cool and underrated.

The story's that a leaf falls on Chicken Little's tail and he becomes convinced the sky's falling. He convinces a bunch of animals to go with him to tell the King and they get tricked by Foxy Loxy and eaten (though in some versions Chicken Little escapes).

It's moral to think critically for yourself and not just blindly follow what others say is one that needs to be told more, especially in today's age.

I was...not mentally prepared for the season 6 finale of The Golden Girls being a literal production of Henny Penny/Chicken Little.

...but I'm glad I bore witness to it nonetheless!

I gotta see something. [insert clever phrase abt sample size and plz reblog]

Preliminaries round 2 match 4

Henny Penny (Henny Penny) vs Penny “Grams” Halliwell (Charmed) vs Penelope (Barbie as Rapunzel)

Only two will move on

Propaganda under the cut

Henny Penny (Henny Penny)

• Funny chicken

Pollrunner note: you may also know this story under the name Chicken Little.

Penny “Grams” Halliwell (Charmed)

• I asked my mom if she could think of any characters called Penny and she said this

Pollrunner note: a mom suggestion is very strong

Penelope (Barbie as Rapunzel)

• For the people who’ve never watched Barbie as Rapunzel, it takes a LOT of liberties with the fairytale. Basically forget everything you know about the story, the movie is its own thing. Ok now that we’re all on the same page: Penelope is Rapunzel’s friend, and she’s a dragon. She’s actually the daughter of the dragon guarding Rapunzel’s tower, Hugo, who works for Gothel. She’s very sweet, which is a problem for her father, who wants her to be a “real” dragon, eg fearless and terrifying. At the start of the story, she can’t fly and can barely breathe fire. Her arc involves learning these skills without giving up her idiosyncrasies. Her father eventually acknowledges she’s always been brave in her own way, and their joint arc culminates in him calling her “a mighty dragon.” Hugo is a great morally gray character, but this isn’t about him, this is about Penelope. She’s funny! She’s silly! She’s clever! She’s such a supportive friend to Rapunzel. I know I already called her funny but I’ll say it again: she’s funny!! She’s a badass! She’s one of the highlights of the movie IMO. The scene towards the end in which [SPOILERS] Rapunzel flies on Penelope’s back out of the tower and over the wall is so emotional to me. She’s overall one of my favorite Barbie sidekicks. #PENELOPESWEEP.

• She’s a dragon it doesn’t get cooler than that. She’s funny and cute and silly and a fearsome dragon as I mentioned. She has an interesting dynamic w her father in my opinion and a very heartwarming storyline. One of the best and best-written animal sidekicks in the BCU if not THE best one.

Did you know that Chicken Little was actually known as Henny Penny? The earliest known published version of this European folk tale was in 1823. Don’t worry, the sky isn’t falling...yet.

My tag for this series is 'fairy tales'.

And the scare headlines continue

I have been reading the Libertarian articles in Reason.com for several years and have noticed something odd. Despite ongoing claims that federal spending should be reduced, no data can support that myth. Like all other debt Henny Pennys, they focus on telling you how big the so-called debt is and how much will be spent on benefits. OK, we get it. The numbers are significant, but why are they…

my cec oc, penny! i can't believe i haven't shown them before lol

Speaking of “Chicken little”, did you ever wonder of how you’d rewrite it like with other Disney movies (or like, adapting the original story in your own personal twist)?

I can make something up on the spot, but it won’t be a Disney reboot. The characters and alien twist didn't interest me much, so I’m borrowing the original story. I don’t have all the plot details, but I’d want the main character to be a girl named Penny Little, and setting the 1700s-1800s countryside. Her village is inhabited by birds only, and those who live in poverty are usually prey animals. Royalty and high calibre residents are predators. Instead of the acorn, a better scare would be a vivid dream taken as a prophecy, but something that actually happened to her. She was drugged up or too sleepy to understand she was part of a scandalous kidnapping of her people, ordered by the king no one suspects, for the purpose of becoming food or a slave. Lewl, spoilers. Penny is too small, so not useful for either and dumped back in her room. If you want the acorn thing to come back in some way, maybe it’s one of the soldiers’ shields she saw and got whacked with when they saw she was gaining consciousness. ..Though in hindsight, maybe it’s better if she was conscious, but guessed the attack to come from an enemy kingdom. Less convoluted. In any case, she believes their peaceful lives are in danger and wants to warn the king. She’s accompanied by her friends along the way, not because they all believe her, some just aren’t comfortable letting her waddle into a domain of meat eaters by herself. Eventually they meet a fox (not red-furred, the red fox is the most overused breed in fiction and I’m tired of it) and they recognize him as the discarded prince “Todd L’Woxy”, which is good, because these idiots didn’t know the way to the castle to begin with. I have nothing in mind for what his crimes are that made him no longer welcome at the castle, but he is a violent, patronizing douche-ass, so it probably has something to do with that. He thinks their simple minds and gullibility are all very convenient and pretends to be their friend for a bit. As it’s tough for a fool out there, he plans to lead them inside a dark forest and promote them to dinner. He won’t be quirky about it; this man is a murderer like his parents taught him to be. Cool foreshadowing. They get separated and one of the friends is grabbed, but manages to free herself, though not without a wing getting plucked clean. Depending on what kind of bird she is, that sucks. The prince goes on to find a new target in the darkness, and finds Penny, but she’s pretty alert and greets him as he comes. He acts real ominous, but she’s being angelically nice and it makes him feel bad. When her friends come running, the one who was attacked warns her for the prince, but of course he lies and Penny believes it, making him feel more bad. Because it’s dark, his victim can’t 100% confirm it was him and everyone settles on giving him the benefit of the doubt. He is eventually swayed into helping them for real.. because.. I don’t know, Penny is hot? Anyway, reformed murderers always die in my stories, so Todd will likely get his throat ripped out by his father at the end. ..I’m tired of writing now.

what did harry say on the howard show that you’re ref’ing? u mean about 1d?

I mean about all of it! Some henny penny got online and made a whole list of the SCANDALOUS AWFUL things that were discussed on Stern, and out of context, yeah, it sounded pretty yikes, and YET, if and when you listened, it literally wasn't. I'm getting major henny penny vibes off odeonanon because I'm 1000% convinced he *will* say a lot of what they're catastrophizing, because newsflash, he already has said all of it, in some fashion, multiple times, people might want to stop reading edited/cropped shit, lol, if they want to actually see and hear what their fave's talking about

Today my rooster and hen got mad at me and wouldn’t come inside their house and I couldn’t figure out why ?????

I brought their usual food and water and they wouldn’t come in. Dude was just yelling at me. So I went inside and got him some treats and poured it out for him like “come on man I don’t feel good!!! But I got you treats!!” and him and Henny were like no. Ew disgusting!

Then I remembered I hadn’t called to them

Then I called to them sweetly, cooing at them. and they were like “oh ??? You calls to us?? It is safe to go inside now? To feast and nap??? Oh yay!!!” and walked up clucking all sweetly like he wasn’t insulting me just 3 minutes earlier
