You know the thing that always got me about this film? If they had just stuck with the idea that Chanticleer wasn't needed to bring up the sun, this could have been so much more interesting. The main conflict could start up when the animals realize they need Chanticleer to wake them up in the morning so they can get their chores done on time, then Chanticleer would learn that even without god-like powers, he's still useful.

Rest In Peace Christopher Plummer.

Fun fact: Jason Marin, the original voice of Flounder from The Little Mermaid, played one of Edmund's brothers.

this movie was totally my guilty pleasure and despite the Villian song is the worst that I can't get out of my head! btw Patou was voiced by the late and great Phil Harris (Baloo from the Jungle Book) since this was his last film role!

Despite it's flaws, Rock-A-Doodle is an underrated animated classic in my opinion.

And I thought The Nostalgia Critic was hard on this.

R.I.P. Glen Campbell.

Too bad about this movie being bad, I thought it was magical about having live action turn into animation. And it could've been a sign for Don Bluth's animation to be able to cross with live action. Just like what happened in Marry Poppins, Pete's Dragon, and Who Framed Roger Rabbit.

6:18 It's like The Pagemaster crossed with The Cat Returns. Except those came out in 1994 and 2002 respectively...

This was the beginning of the downward spiral for Don Bluth in the 90s.

There are two fun facts to know about this movie: 1. It was originally supposed to be released during the 1991 holiday season. But Don Bluth didn't want the movie to compete with Disney's Beauty and the Beast (speaking of which, he was actually planning to make his own animated film adaptation of that timeless fairytale, but when he found out that his competitor was already producing one, he decided to cancel it). So he had it pushed back to spring the following year, but it only ended up competing with FernGully and unsurprisingly, there was no contest. At least it was a good call on Bluth's part. Imagine this movie being completely destroyed by Disney both critically and financially had he not delayed it for a couple of months. 2. Believe it or not, there was actually a parade float to promote the movie during the 1991 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. And on the same float, it featured characters from the movie including Edmond (in kitten form like in the movie, of course), Peepers (in puppet form), Patoo, Chanticleer, and the Grand Duke of Owls. The only two who were totally absent from the float for some reason were Snipes and Goldie. And the song that was performed from the movie was Sun Do Shine, obviously. You can watch that in it's entirety here (go to the 1:03:00 mark): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bdODncyqrb25e5c.html

22:34 So how do you somehow become unconscious in some way while you’re still dreaming and STILL perfectly imagine stuff that still goes on in it?

R.I.P. Glen Campbell and Christopher Plummer.

The start of the downfall of Don bluth .

15:20 Is that a Charlie cameo? And yeah, as much as I love Don's work you can tell when the weirdness started to overtake a lot of the better storytelling elements. His character designs are BEAUTIFUL but I think his weakness was always second-guessing himself in order to be more 'Disney-like' when his best work was more anti-Disney, in a sense when he took more chances and allowed the story to get a bit darker. One thing I will always be envious of him is his character designs and how he does glitter effects on a lot of his clothing. You mention the Jessica Rabbit comparison for Goldie but he always did that sparkle effects for a lot of his movies and even in the games he animated. It's just so wonderfully Bluth and 80s/90s. Goldie, even if her character is kinda meh personality wise, is animated so well that hr body language does a better job acting than the lines she's given which really makes me wish that the movie was MORE about her and Chanticleer vs what we got. The two were the mains in the original but here it feels like they're almost 3rd tier characters.

I actually like this movie. It’s a guilty pleasure

I actually seen this movie when I was In 1st grade.

2:04 Genie!Peddler: Too close, a little too close!

I'm surprised you forgot to mention that Patou was voiced by Phil Harris, sadly this was his last role before he passed away.

I actually like rock a doodle, it’s a guilty pleasure, and it’s criminally underrated don bluth animated classic, who else agrees with me?

A world of likable anthropomorphic animals especially Edmond between the universe's seemed bizarre

an owl afraid of bright light from a flashlight gee youd think that the grand duke shares the same connection as the gremlins and this also makes me wish that the mafia dogs from all dogs go to heaven as well as charlie and itchy were in this film too i do appreciate the fact that patou is kind to edmond despite the fact i didnt see him act similar to wylie burp in an american tail 2:fievel goes west edmond shocked to see that he was transformed into a cat saying hes all furry, snipes the magpie and peepers the mouse are interesting characters

Are you reviewing The Pebble and the Penguin next? There's an interesting history to that film

👤 Trouble with your car, Mr Plumber? CP: As a matter of fact, we couldn't get it started. 👤 Surly you heard the studio wants you to provide the voice for the owl in the latest family romp, Rock A Doodle? CP: I'm afraid that's going to be quite impossible. 👤Now Mr Plumber, surely you don't think you can defend yourself against the awesome power of studio funded lawyers? No one has ever survived their verbal slaughter. So I take it you'll change your mind about the role? CP: ...Yes. 👤 Excellent, we'll escort you to the recording studio. CP: No escort will be necessary. 👤 I insist. We wouldn't want you to get lost on your way over...would we? CP: ...No

What Duke would you prefer? An Owl who wants the world to be flooded with darkness... Or A Fat Boi who helps you get your baby back and supplies you with said needs to fight through a Village full of mutant monsters and tall ladies.

Disney be like "oh hell no this is gonna bomb so hard." After All Dogs go to heaven Don Bluth "Well it's the 90s so now what do I make." Sees the script Don Bluth "Now that's more like it." One screening later Don Bluth "I've made a terrible mistake." Satan "yes but you sold your soul for this and I told Disney to make those crap squeals some were both in the wrong."

When I was little I fell in love with this movie when I was a kid infact I loved older movies when I was a kid…

I think the fear thing is due to the idea that owls are not active in the day time🤔

I really would like to see the behind the scenes drama with this movie... Maybe Matt McMuscles could do a Wha Happun on Rock a Doodle... Man, that is such an awesome name for a movie! Why did it have to get wasted on a movie like this?

rip christopher plummer. you will be always my captian von trap.

The Grand Duke of Owls was brilliant!

I'd barely remember this movie ever since I was a kid

I hate Snipes. Not only is he extremely annoying and misogynistic, but majority to the time he has done nothing but almost get them killed several time!

I would like you to review these films: -Fire and Ice -Curious George -The Rugrats Movie -Barnyard -Starchaser: the Legend of Orin -Rugrats in Paris: the Movie -The Wild Thornberrys Movie -Oliver & Company -Clifford's Really Big Movie -The King and I (1999 animated version) -Valiant -Doug's 1st Movie -Beavis and Butt-head Do America

I love tis movie, is my childhood :) I have it on CD

This is one of Don bluths worst films in my opinion, although it's nowhere near as bad as a troll in Central Park, speaking of I'd like you to review it someday.

23:34 CHANTICLEER used SOLAR BEAM

Dude, please review more Corradi/Mondo. Namely the Mondo Pinocchio film. Please!

10:09 And then they died. THE END

Silly farm animals! Everypony knows Princess Celestia raises the sun every morning. 🦄

I'm all for Goldie and the love interest angle. I want to see what the combination of a domestic rooster and what I guess is a wild pheasant will make. But the movie was so confused and confusing... were they giving Peepers low level love interest vibes with cat Edmund AND human Edmund?

13:05 Well a P-nis for starters

to let you know; Christopher Plummer passed away in February of 2021 at 91

I thought this movie was a fever dream when I was younger until in my teens I did a deep dive into the huge catalog of records, movies, comics, shows with a comedy rockabilly band I had liked since I was a kid, Vazelina Bilopphøggers (1979-2022, their last concert is available on KZfaq) for the film I had seen in either kindergarten or primary school was a norwegian-dubbed version of Rock-A-Doodle where Vazelina Bilopphøggers (Vazelina Carwreckers) had some of the voices The vocalist from 1981 to 2006, Viggo Sandvik had the voice for Chanticleer Guitarist/Accordionist/Singer Eldar Vågan was Patou Saxophonist/Organist/Accordionist/Singer Jan Einar Johnsen was Snipes And the drummer and carwrecker Arnulf Paulsen was Stuey Vazelina Bilopphøggers started out as a joke at a christmas party at Arnulf Paulsen's wreckyard in 1979, but the joke quickly took over when guitarist Eldar Vågan entered the band in a national competition which resulted in them getting a record deal (although they didn't win), the single record and the album sold very well in Norway which led to them choosing to continue even though half the band quit after 1 year which resulted in Viggo Sandvik joined the band in 1981 and the success continued and they were literally everywhere in the 80's and 90's The film was not a success in Norway either, but the album was

Yeah, we know it's not good but it so weird and nostalgic that you can't hate it.

Cartoon Hero, Me and KZfaq Pooper Daniel Guzman and now You Good luck Issac

It was quite a interesting movie but it wasn't that interesting short length

As a Don Bluth fan (grew up watching all of them) i never really saw anything wrong with any of them, sure now some of the stories seem off putting but still to this day i enjoy them.

Personally 11:50 Agree the movie probs would of been better if Chanticleer was the main focus and not the kid and his friends. Like we could of had an arc with Chanticleer going to the city and raising up to become the king, along with possible rivalry like with Goldie fighting for the limelight.

Welcome to the under 301 club, how tough are yah?

The opening is a good use on a game, "Guess the film based on opening before the title popped in." Jokes on them, we have a Dairy King in Long Beach Island, NJ.

27:00 Oh! Speaking of cat based media, have you heard of Mighty Cat Masked Niyander? It's a cute, super hero anime series by the looks of it, and it's made by the creator of Chirin's Bell.

never thought I'd be attracted to a pheasant

It's kind of sad that half of Bluth movies suck

8:37 That Energizer! Not Duracell! LOL

Loved this movie!

Animat Did review this movie before

oh Crap still no Jungle book 2 review

Something striked me as I rewatched this review...I do know that this takes place in a warmer part of US of A, or in Ireland but I did find it hilarious, a little bit, that they show sun rising over all of earth and as if the sun not rising for days was this unheard of phenomena all over the world. Where there are places, in US too, I'm sure, where polar night is a thing.

I wonder if the Narrator thing was an "inspiration" from Princess Bride. It too had the grandpa narrating some bits in the framing device. Ofc PB did it better

I actually wrote a crossover re-enactment of this movie (you know, like of the those crazy crossover fanfics that just copy the same story they're supposedly parodying), and some said that it's better then the original because I filled in some of the plot holes & developed the characters more....even if they were cartoon "actors" playing the roles of the characters. Such as the Chanticleer character actually being labeled as a prodigy and had too much pressure put onto him to crow during a specific day the villain will start to rain nonstop if he doesn't. And it turns out that he could never crow after all of this time, thus the townsfolk got angry with him & mocked him for being a loser....until they came to their senses that they are all to blame for the seemingly endless flooding & hope to give him another chance. And during the part where the Chanticleer character has a dilemma on whether or not should he return to farm he came from since he still can't crow but doesn't want his friends & family to drown, he bumps into an old mentor of his that was long since retired, that gave him a few words of encouragement to go back home & do the best he can to save the farmland.

10:57 Can anyone tell me the name of this song? I heard it somewhere before.

Give Toby Scott Granger credit; he's still a better actor than Queen Chrysalis in A Canterlot Wedding!

Used to watch the movie when I was a kid.

Gosh this kid is really boring! Yes he's a bit cute but he got NO EMOTIONS in his voice, doesn't do anything useful or important. He disguised himself as a penguin, has weird visions about villains and warned the others about trees. That's it! Edmunt has nothing interresting or adorable, he's a lame hero :S This movie is so weird! The evil owl with magic breath, the Elvis rooster, the magical Sun, Edmunt dream about various villains while he's chased by the Duke's minions which is a big lipped aligator moment like Doug from Nostalgia critic said. The story is a mess, the romance between Chanticleer and Goldie is rushed and not that cute. This film is just a lot of scenes that has nothing in comon putted together, there's nothing coherent or well developped.

I loved the whole movie I grew up loving it plus I love goldie and the king together

do chitty chitty bang bang 1968

The soundtrack is too much of a banger for anyone to notice that the movie is bad.

Can you do Dino King?

And isn't trusting Goldie just like that a little much?

The movie just wasn't passion enough

You must do Land Before Time

Sadly, my sister likes this movie.

Should try tom and jerry live w ti on movie is a good one like to watch.
