In the 50-second intro to this short, Leonard Maltin encourages parents to screen the cartoon and decide if it's appropriate to show to their kids. In this allegory, a malicious fox comes upon a fenced farm and terrorizes the feathered inhabitants. The fox's first target is the dim-witted Chicken Little, who is easily convinced that the sky is falling and spreads the word. The farm's leader, Cocky Locky, assures them it's a piece of wood, not sky. So, the fox tries to spread doubt among the farm animals through the clucking women turkeys and drinking ducks. The fox then encourages Chicken Little to become leader. This parable takes more from Nazi philosophy and less from the more familiar story of Chicken Little. And there's no happy ending.
