Bluth: Rock A Doodle
Home/Change Series
Chanticleer is a proud rooster whose crowing wakes the sun up every morning (or so the other farm animals believe). His singing keeps the other animals happy and the farm free from downpours. However, one morning,
Chanticleer gets in a fight with another rooster that was sent by the Grand Duke of Owls, whose kind can't stand the sunlight. Chanticleer wins, but forgets to crow and the sun rises without his singing. The other animals reject him and drive him out of the farm, causing a perpetual rainstorm and beginning the Grand Duke's reign of terror on the farm.
The story reveals to be a storybook that a mother named Dory reads to her son, Edmund. Edmund grows concerned when his farm becomes flooded from the rain. When Edmund's family is off to save the farm, his mother forbids him to go out and help her, his father and his two older brothers. Edmund realizes that Chanticleer is the answer to the problem and yells for him, only to summon the Duke himself. The Duke turns Edmund into a kitten for trying to interfere with his plans. Just as the Duke is about to devour Edmund, he is saved by Patou (Phil Harris) the basset hound who attacks the Duke and Edmund drives the Duke off with a flashlight, which is the owls' only weakness.Edmund also meets a magpie named Snipes and a mouse named Peepers who do not believe Edmund was once a human boy but tell him they are journeying to the city to find Chanticleer. While the rest of the animals stay at Edmund's farm, Edmund, along with Patou, Snipes and Peepers sail to the city in a trunk. The Duke sends his nephew Hunch to stop the crew from reaching the city, but Hunch fails to catch them.
