2004 Argonaut Games
Platforms: Nintendo GameCube, PlayStation 2, Xbox
During the early 2000s, Argonaut Games were actively pitching a number of new projects to publishers, and one such title appears to have been based on Disney’s Chicken Little. Our latest post brings you previously unseen footage from what looks to be a pitch demo, suggesting that the studio had begun early development work on a potential adaptation of the film.
Very little is currently known about this particular version of Chicken Little, but the footage indicates that it had progressed beyond simple concept stages, with what appears to be early gameplay elements in place. As with many pitch demos of the time, it is likely that this was created to help secure a publishing deal, though it is unclear how far discussions progressed.
Interestingly, a Chicken Little game was officially released in 2005 by Avalanche Software (with Artificial Mind and Movement handling the Game Boy Advance version), published by Buena Vista Games. That title launched across GameCube, PlayStation 2, Xbox and PC, following the storyline of the animated film and arriving roughly a year after this apparent Argonaut pitch. It is therefore possible that Argonaut’s version was ultimately unsuccessful in securing the project, though no confirmation of this has yet surfaced.
At present, aside from the footage shared today, no further materials or details have come to light regarding Argonaut’s take on Chicken Little. It remains unclear how much of the game was developed, or how closely it may have followed the final released version.
In April 2026, Games That Weren’t were kindly provided by an Anonymous contributor (with huge thanks) a short clip of the project in action. While brief, it offers a rare glimpse into what may have been an entirely different interpretation of the Chicken Little license during its early stages.
We hope that more information will surface over time. If you worked on this project or have any further details or materials, please do get in touch and we will update this page accordingly.
With thanks to the Anonymous contributor for their submission.
