ROCK A DOODLE CAR PINK MOVIE
Alternate Animal Affection: This movie has the Mouthy Bird variant, so birds can kiss like humans.Played straight with Hunch, who becomes excited at the sight of Goldie's ensemble on the helicopter just before she smacks him away.Subverted when Edmond calls the animals trapped on the farm, Stuey the Pig hops on to a floating dress from making his way to the phone and accidentally fondles it he quickly apologizes to the inanimate object.Or Was It a Dream?: Well, the closing sequence that incorporates the live-action Edmond into the animated farm certainly doesn't think so.All Just a Dream: According to the Book Ends, the whole movie is supposedly kick-started by a story told to a sick kid by his mother before they dream the rest of the events up.In the movie, his counterpart Snipes is a Jerkass but is an ally of Chanticleer and not an outright villain. In the original Rostand play, the blackbird was a villainous character who conspired with the predators of the night against the farm animals, along with the farm's cat. Toward the end of the film, when Edmond, Patou, Peepers, and Snipes attempt to get Chanticleer back to their farm to stop the villainous owl, they actually all steal Pinky's limo before Peepers gets them all to escape using another vehicle they all stole: Pinky's helicopter. Absurdly-Long Limousine: Pinky Fox drives a large, pink limo with twelve wheels.note It does, however, end up turning out to be real. And after all, the whole movie is supposed to be all just a sick kid's fever dream. A few folks even have warm nostalgia for the utter randomness and weird characters. The disastrous box office failure of the film led to the bankruptcy of Bluth's studio.Īlthough the film runs in the exact opposite direction of everything Don Bluth stood for (including purposefully toning down anything truly scary), the film at least includes the very pretty character and effects animation that Bluth is well known for - as well as quite a lot of his characteristic weirdness.
Fortunately, Chanticleer is disillusioned with his fame and fortune and fandom, and agrees to return to the farm and save the day-unless his manager Pinky the fox (Sorrell Booke), who is secretly in league with the Grand Duke, has anything to say about it. Wouldn't you know it, Chanticleer does raise the sun, so his friends run after him to try and convince him to come home and save the farm from the Grand Duke of Owls ( Christopher Plummer), an evil wizard owl who hates the sun and wants it to rain forever. After learning his singing doesn't raise the sun, he runs away to look for work in the city, and becomes a famous rock star. In this version, Chanticleer (voiced by Glen Campbell) is an affectionate caricature of Elvis Presley.
It is also an equally loose adaptation of the play ''Chanticler'' by the French writer Edmond Rostand (also known for Cyrano de Bergerac), bearing little resemblance to it apart from some of the characters. Rock-A-Doodle is a 1991 Don Bluth film and a very loose Adaptation Expansion of the tale of Chanticleer the rooster, who believed his crowing made the sun shine.
