Rock-a-Doodle (1991)

[bunniefuu]

[narrator] Once upon a time,

back before I knew

how to tie my shoes,

the sun came up.

Now, I know an

everyday sunrise

may not seem like

such a big deal to some folks,

but imagine for a moment

if instead of rising up,

like this,

one morning

where you lived

she took a look around

and decided

to go back to sleep.

It happened once to us.

Let me tell you

all about it...

[Chanticleer]

[narrator] This was

our rooster,Chanticleer.

And though it was true

that he liked to

horse around some,

the fact was,

that boy could sing!

♪ Sun, sun, sun

Sun do shine, sun do shine ♪

♪ Well, my daddy

Taught me how to sing ♪

♪ And that's why

This voice means everything ♪

[narrator] We all had

our jobs on the farm,

and Chanticleer's

was to wake up the sun.

and when he crowed,

up she came!

Hey, look,

here's me tyin' my shoes.

Hi, Patou.

Whatcha doin'?

I'm tryin' to tie

these doggone shoes!

Huh! Again?

Well, hi, ladies.

Oh, he's so handsome!

He sings

like a dream!

He is a dream.

And he's single, too!

[Patou]

He maybe wasn't

the smartest bird

that ever lived,

but when he crowed,

there was plenty

of peace and harmony.

Hey!

Well, plenty

of harmony, anyway.

And lots of sunshine!

[all laughing]

[Patou]

There was no doubt about it,

old Chanticleer

kept us animals

up and shining.

[all]

Good day, Mr. Chanticleer.

But all that

was about to change.

One morning,

before Chanticleer

was even awake,

-a stranger snuck

onto our farm...

-Hey, Chanticleer!

...to stop Chanticleer

from crowing!

Of course, Chanticleer

wouldn't give up

without a fight.

But what he didn't know

was that this stranger

had been sent

by the Grand Duke of Owls.

A nasty fella.

The good news here

was that Chanticleer

had won the fight.

The bad news was

the Grand Duke's bully

had done his dirty deed.

For in all the commotion,

Chanticleer had plum forgot

to crow,

and the sun was comin' up

without him.

[animals gasp]

When Chanticleer saw this,

it broke his heart.

He reckoned maybe his crow

never did raise the sun.

Look! It's comin' up

without him!

You're a phony!

[man] He's a fake!

Hey, everybody,

c*ck-a-doodle-doo!

The Grand Duke's evil plan

had worked.

He had turned us against

our very best friend.

And without a reason to crow,

poor Chanticleer

left the farm

to look for work in the city.

Then came the rain,

and our troubles

with the Duke.

[Edmond]

Who's that, Mom?

[Mother]

That's the Grand Duke.

He's the one who's

causing all the trouble.

He sent that mean old rooster

to Chanticleer's farm

to pick a fight.

Hmm. How come?

Because he didn't

like Chanticleer

doing all that crowing

and bringing up

the sun.

How come?

Well, like most owls,

he likes the darkness

and the rain.

I'm not afraid

of the dark.

[gasping]

Oh, it's you!

You scared me!

Dorie, we got

big problems.

Have you looked out there?

If that rain doesn't stop,

we're all gonna go

floatin' down the river!

[Patou]

This is my favorite part

of the story.

His name is Edmond.

'Course, he didn't look

quite like this

when I first met him.

Anyhow, we weren't

the only folks

havin' our troubles.

Poor Edmond's family

was havin' their share, too.

The river's

rising too fast!

We've got to

reinforce the sandbags!

You think

that'll work?

We'll make it work.

I'll get the boys.

Me, too!

You stop

right there.

Oh, Mom,

I'm one of the boys.

He meant

the big boys.

I'm big enough.

Not yet

you're not, darling.

[radio]

The U.S. Weather bureau

is expecting another night

of disastrous downpour

in the areas worst hit

by this week's flooding.

[Dad] Scott! Mark!

Bring the truck

around to the front!

Come on, guys,

move it, I need some help.

We gotta get

the animals inside.

[Patou]

So while Scott and Mark

got to help protect the house

against the flood,

poor Edmond was left behind

where he'd be safe

and out of trouble.

It's my house, too.

I want to help.

Then pray for

the rain to stop,

and that will help.

[Dad]

Dorie, I can't find

the flashlight!

Coming.

Now, you stay here

where it's safe, pumpkin.

I'm gonna help your father.

I'll be right back.

Great, let's go.

Dad, they said on the radio

the National Guard might come.

I am too one of the big boys!

[Edmond reading]

And without a reason to crow,

Chanticleer left the farm.

Then came the rain...

Mom, here!

How is she, Frank?

Start the truck!

She'll be okay!

Dorie, hurry!

I know the answer.

We need Chanticleer!

Mom!

Boys, the levee's breaking!

Chanticleer!

Chanticleer!

[Patou]

Edmond had the right idea

to call for Chanticleer,

but he never could have guessed

who was going to answer...

Chanticleer?

No...

It's not Chanticleer.

Who are you?

You put your finger

in the Duke's face.

Remember?

These are expensive,

little brat!

But that is not why

the Duke is going to eat you.

Eat me?

Oh, dear, now I've gone

and spoiled the surprise.

I'm always doing that.

But, you see,

we creatures of the night

have worked very hard

to make absolutely sure

that that bird does not return.

And you...

You, with no regard

for the feelings of others,

have the nerve

to call him back here by name!

And besides,

I positively loathe

rock 'n' roll!

[laughs boisterously]

You're not gonna eat me!

[Patou]

And that's when the Duke

hit the ceiling!

If Edmond wanted

to bring Chanticleer back

to raise the sun,

the Duke was going to have

something to say about it.

Kittens are more digestible.

Young Edmond was about to have

the most amazing adventure

he'd ever dreamed of.

[laughs]

[The Duke laughing]

Ah...

Mom! Dad!

Wake me up!

This is where I come in!

Ow!

Yi-yi-yi-yi-yi!

You'll pay for this, Patou!

This does not concern you.

It does if it's

about Chanti!

The light! Owls hate the light!

[screams]

Whew!

Hey, boy.

We were this close!

Oh, that flashlight biz was

quick thinking on your part!

What's your name,

little fella?

Edmond.

Is he gone?

Yeah, he's gone,

but he'll be back.

And he won't be alone,

the coward.

I would have whopped him

if I'd of had my shoes tied!

But you know something?

Tying shoes is harder

than dry dog food.

What you wearing shoes for?

Bunions!

I got a load of bunions.

And them shoes

help my feet.

Here, let me show you

how to tie them.

Oh, jeepers!

I'm all furry!

Well, kittens are furry.

But, but I'm a little boy!

[meows]

Did that come out of me?

Oh! I'm... I'm a cat!

He turned me into a cat!

Help me!

Do something!

I can't be a cat!

I'm a boy!

Patou, what will I do?

Alright, steady, boy,

keep your pants on.

[gasps]

Yuck! What am I doing?

I'm licking myself!

[Peepers] Patou!

I'm in here!

According to my calculations,

this can't possibly

be the city.

Let's see,

36 by 7 southeast...

Thirty-six by 77...

Or is it 37 by 6?

[gasps]

[chuckles]

It's okay, Peepers!

It's Edmond,

he's a nice kid.

I'm a boy!

And I almost

ate a mouse!

I must be crazy!

You bet your

sweet whiskers!

Wow!

[Stuey]

There's no city around here.

Oh, sadness!

Hey, aren't you going to

tie my shoes?

I can't!

I can't help anybody!

I'm too little!

I'm a scrawny fur-ball runt!

Mom and Dad

won't even recognize me!

Mom! Dad!

Help!

[thunder crashes]

Oh, Chanticleer.

If he doesn't

come back and crow,

the sun won't ever shine again,

and the rain

will keep coming down,

and the water will

get higher and higher,

until we all drown.

Wowee wow wow wow!

Are we close?

Are we near the city?

Us magpies are just

made for the city!

Come on, already!

Hurry it up, Peepers!

We're not looking

for the city!

We're looking

for Chanticleer.

Well, he's in the city,

isn't he?

Then he is in the city!

Girls, they think

they know everything!

Why don't you run home,

be a mousewife? Make cheese?

[lisps] Snipes, you think

you're so superior!

"Thuperior!"

Nithe lithp!

My lisp isolates

and elevates me

and makes me

a rare specimen.

[Snipes and Peepers argue]

Pipe down, you two!

The story's true!

You all laughed at him,

and he went away!

You're right, son.

We done wrong!

And that's why we're searching

for the city.

We got to find Chanti

and apologize.

So he'll forgive us.

Come home

and raise the sun!

Well, I know where the city is.

I've been there

lots of times as a boy.

A boy?

Before that big owl

turned me into a cat!

Owl? Owl?

Edmond, would you take us

to the city?

I can't.

Look at me,

I'm a cat.

No, a little kitty.

What can I do?

I can do lots of things,

and I'm a lot smaller

than you.

And furthermore,

I could forgive you

for being a cat

if you would take us

to the city.

Of course,

if you're a fraidy-cat--

I'm not afraid!

Or a scaredy-cat.

Me, scared?

Lay off the boy!

Hey, guys! Guys!

Okay, okay!

I'm not afraid of anything!

I'll take you to the city

to find Chanticleer!

And bring him home,

and save Dad and Mom

and the farm!

[all] Hurray!

Hope you can swim, guys.

[Edmond] Oh, no!

[coughing]

Ahhh!

We don't have to swim!

We'll go by boat!

Oh, this is serious!

Peepers, you'll need this

if those owls return!

Owls? Owls? Owls?

I'm sticking with you!

-Well, fellas, this is it!

-[gulps]

[Snipes]

The city! The lights!

The chicks! The food!

Goodbye!

Good luck with the owls!

Owls?

[Patou] Yep, owls.

While Edmond set our course

for the city

in the U.S.S. Toybox,

the Duke and his owls

were back in their lair

storing up some

powerful nasty weather...

[organ music plays]

So he turns on the Duke.

And with what,

do you suppose,

he turns on the Duke?

[all] What, master?

A flashlight!

Hunch, I told you

never to call me that.

Yes, sir! Uh, no, sir!

Guess what I just saw!

Patou the dog floating in

a toybox down the river!

And he has this cute

little white kitty with him.

Ahhh!

Uh-huh.

My little pygmy nephew...

Come to uncle.

[chuckles]

Argh!

[Patou]

Meanwhile, bound for the city,

Edmond steered us

through the perils

of the flooded river.

[Edmond]

Starboard who? Left or right?

Uh-oh.

It's so beautiful!

[Patou]

Now all we've got to do

is find Chanticleer.

And that's going

to be like

hunting for a needle

Ow!

Oh, no.

How did you do it?

Adequately.

Wha... What's that

supposed to mean?

Well, Uncle, we sucked 'em

into an adequate pipe!

A what?

That's what it said,

"Danger! Adequate pipe!"

[laughs]

Dear Hunch...

Come to Uncle.

Uh...

You imbecile!

That's not an "adequate" pipe.

It's an aqueduct pipe!

It leads straight

into the city!

The Duke gives you

one last chance, Hunch!

Them or you!

Get to the city!

Not the city, sir!

Oh, no! It's too bright!

I'll go blind!

Oh, say it isn't so.

[Edmond reading]

He's not in here!

Let's go!

[Patou]

You ever get that feeling

when you're

looking for something

that it's right

under your sniffer?

I know it seems crazy,

but it was almost

like we could hear his voice

calling to us.

You know, like he was just

waiting for us

to come and ask him back.

But we looked everywhere,

and we talked with everyone.

But nobody had heard

of Chanticleer, nobody.

Funny thing was,

he was right under our

very nose the whole time.

Or, should I say,

we were under his.

to get near him...

and you're lonely?

Yeah, but back

Hey, you told me yourself

what they did

to you on the farm.

They don't love you.

Hello, Goldie?

How'd you like

[Patou]

Meanwhile, back on the farm...

[all whimpering]

Oh, she's fading fast!

Just these two.

Oh, sadness!

Whoa!

Some kind of joke, huh?

[The Duke]

Well, I don't think it's funny.

They want to

bring Chanticleer

back to the farm.

You don't want that.

He makes you lots of money.

I don't want that.

He makes me miserable.

[Pinky] Right, boss.

What should I do about it?

Your chicken thinks

they don't want him

on the farm.

Well, that's good.

All you have to do

is make sure

he keeps thinking that.

It's not good that

should talk to your chicken.

Yeah?

Excuse me, sir.

Would you please see

that The King gets this?

Yes, it's very important.

Oh, and waiter?

We asked for a light cola.

This stuff weighs a ton!

Mmm...

Give me the boss.

It's sounds bad, Pinky.

It's only a little bad,

not a big bad.

Look, he's lonely,

he needs a friend.

And that bad little kitty

wants to steal him away.

You don't want that,

do you?

Well, you can take

the rooster out of

the country,

but you can't take the country

out of the rooster.

Old Chanticleer

had found himself a city perch

sort of tailored to remind him

of the farm he'd left behind.

Trouble was,

with Goldie on the scene,

he wasn't feeling so lonesome

for us anymore.

Which was exactly

the way Pinky wanted it,

because that was

exactly the way

the Grand Duke wanted it.

There was just one problem

with their plan, of course,

Goldie was only supposed

to pretend to fall in love

with Chanticleer.

But she was

falling in love for real.

And that can really change

a pheasant.

I think we've lost him.

What do you mean?

He's right there!

No, no, no,

he ain't.

He's 1,000 miles away.

Huh?

Oh! Isn't it romantic?

When roosters

fall in love,

they lose all reason.

Enough mush.

Let's go eat!

Eat? How can you

think of food

at a time like this?

Lasagna!

Chanticleer!

Chanticleer!

Ah, Goldie.

When I left the farm,

I had such a big hole

in my heart,

you could have put

a John Deere tractor

through there.

Oh, you poor thing!

My heart is so full

I could just explode

like a bloated lamb.

Oh, King!

-You say the nicest things!

King, may I talk to you?

Oh, honey,

don't pay no mind.

You're gonna

do just fine.

-Yeah, but--

-No buts about it, honey.

King, I've done

something awful!

[Chanticleer] What is it, baby?

Patou! Snipes! Peepers!

Goldie, where'd

you get this?

From you,

that night we first met.

They were here?

Yes, they're still here.

Well, why didn't you tell me?

Because she wasn't

supposed to!

Goldie,

I'm disappointed in you.

I said to entertain him,

not educate him.

Entertain me?

What's this all about?

Calm down, kid,

your friends are just fine.

No, they're not, King.

He's got 'em tied up in--

Shut up!

-What?

-[whimpers]

Where are they?

What have you

done with 'em!

Don't hurt him, boys.

He's got a movie to make.

I ain't making

nothing with you!

Oh, but King,

I got a lot of money

tied up in this picture!

I don't want

to lose my money,

and you don't want

to lose your friends.

That's blackmail!

That's showbiz!

Chanti,

you're home.

Huh?

[Chanticleer]

Ooh, feels like I've been hit

with by an 800-pound mule.

-What's happened?

-There's no time

to explain.

Chanticleer,

you got to crow,

and you got

to crow now!

The owls could

be here any second!

Who are you?

He's a friend.

Now please, crow!

Oh. I can't.

I don't know

if I ever did.

Of course you did!

Chanti, we were wrong.

It's your job

to bring up the sun.

It hasn't shined

since you left.

But look.

c*ck-a-doo...

Ooh...

Uh-oh!

Oh, guys,

it's no use.

is sing the blues.

Shut up, you!

Come on, you guys!

to be quiet!

Duke, leave him alone.

[Patou] Well, our journey

had finally come to an end.

Old Chanticleer

was back to stay,

the sun was up,

the rain had stopped,

and the owls

were gone for good.

Everything seemed to be

turning out just fine.

Except for one thing...

Edmond.

We just didn't know

how to help him.

He was a little boy!

Oh, he was

a handsome little boy.

Edmond...

-Mom, is that the sun?

-Mmm-hmm.

Edmond...

Edmond, get back

into bed.

Wow!

Okay, take a look.

Look, Mom,

Chanticleer raised the sun!

Hi, Edmond!

How ya doing, son?

[Edmond]

Fine! But what happened

to Chanti and the g*ng?

Mom, where are they?

Edmond, Chanticleer

is just a storybook.

Those characters

are only make-believe!

Now, come on,

let's get back into bed.

No, mom! No, they're not!

I saw them!

I bet they're wondering

what happened to me.

I want to

tell them I'm okay.

-I'm sure they know.

-You think so?

Mmm-hmm.

They'll be just fine.

[Patou]

Edmond's mom was right,

of course,

but she didn't know why.

She also never knew just what

stopped the rain that night.

But that just

goes to show you,

with a little help

from your friends,

you can do just

about anything.

Welcome home, Chanticleer.

Thanks for

bringing back the sun.
