"Not long after that project was shelved, I received a call from Klay Hall, who was directing ''Chicken Little 2''. He was given the mandate to create a story reel for his project in the same time frame that we did for ''Aristocats 2''. I don’t think he or the other board artists at Disney were too excited about the deadline, but I guess Klay figured that it would be a good idea to get someone involved who had actually had experience working at this pace. Overall, the script for ''Chicken Little 2'' was pretty good and I felt great about the sequences in which I was involved. Klay gave me a good deal of freedom to invent and I really appreciated working with him and loved the project."<ref>[https://animatedviews.com/2008/disneytoon-studios-and-the-sequels-that-never-were-with-tod-carter/ 2008 Animated Views interview with Tod Carter.] Retrieved 27 Mar '20</ref>
