Played this ages ago on PC, picked it up again on an original Xbox a couple years ago.

One thing I can say about this game, is that it tries. The animations are impeccable (I could probably confidently say that about any game that Disney had their hand in), graphics are fairly good for what they are, and there is a solid foundation in the main 3D action collectathon platformer gameplay. The fact it added vehicle levels, three Star Fox segments (plus a top down shmup), and a tank level (among other things), and did them, at minimum, decently speaks to...well, how much they tried, for lack of a better word.

It's not great. I'd even hesitate to say it's good. But it at least tries something. I enjoyed myself mostly because of nostalgia (I used to love Chicken Little, cut me some slack), and for analyzing the mechanics of what exactly it was I was playing. Also, the soundtrack kinda slaps.
