Chicken Little (2005) - IMDb
www.imdb.com/title/tt0371606/
IMDb
Rating: 5.8/10 - 64,469 votes
Animation · After ruining _his_ reputation with the town, a courageous
_chicken_ must come to the rescue of _his_ fellow citizens when aliens
start an invasion.
When did chickens - not to mention honeybees, wasps, hornets, cows, etc. -
become *male*? No less a light than Seth MacFarlane has even portrayed
bulls as having udders.
Is it becoming the case that, in English, _male_ v. _female_ is relevant
only WRT personkind?
