SunnyHello Nice effects though.

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

kylehaines96 Would you expect anything else With a film titled "Rock-A-Doodle"? I did. The film is animated by legendary animation legend Don Bluth who did films like The Secret Of Nimh and An American Tale. With a resume like that, where could he possibly go wrong with this? Well this film went everywhere wrong and more.The film follows the story of a rooster named Chanticleer voiced by Glen Campbell whose crowing makes the sun come up. One day he forgets to crow but the sun still comes up. The other barn animals shun and banish Chanticleer from the farm considering him to be a fraud. We then cut to a boy named Edmond played by Toby Scott Ganger who as been reading the storybook of Chanticleer and is realizing that his farm will be foreclosed. Edmond then meets The Grand Duke Of Owls voiced by Christopher Plummer who transforms Edmond into a cat and Edmond goes on a journey to find Chanticleer.Well the only good thing about this film is the voice work done by Campbell and Plummer who seem to be the only people involved with this film really invested. The other voice actors are abysmal and very dull. If it were not for those two this Picture would be dead on arrival.The animation is dull and not very pleasing to look at. It looks like a child's finished coloring book, with colors all over the place and dull mix of colors.This film also has a confusing and jumbled narrative with the film jumping from Edmond and his family to Chanticleer. This can be done well like in Pulp Fiction how it jumbles all over the place but eventually all of the stories come together. This film not only jumps around without warning but the story of Edmonds farm is never resolved yet it spends more time on Edmond then on Chanticleer. I guess they were waiting for Rock-A-Doodle 2: Rooster, What Rooster? Lastly the film mixes Live action and Animation together...Poorly, and I am shocked because Who Framed Roger Rabbit came out 3 years before this in 1988 and that was great. This mixes it very poorly and, quite frankly, looks unfinished.The Final Verdict for the 1991 film Rock-A-Doodle is 1 star out of 4. The film looks unfinished and rushed with poor mixing of live action and animation, dull animation and a confusing narrative. Glen Campbell and Christopher Plummer are the only reason to watch this.Rated G.1hr 17min/77min.Cost: $18,000,000.Box Office: $11,657,385.IMDb Rating: 5.6/10.Rotten Tomatoes Rating: 25% Rotten.My Rating: */****

Arturo Jauregui Not as good as a grown up! The major issue is the storytelling, quite confusing or incomplete. How did the Duke be at the roof waiting to eat the farm animals in one shot, then appear to be at his lair making a call to Pinky (who we have no idea how he knows him) and then appear yet again at the rooftop on the next scene, quite weird. The narrator has to tell you too much so you know what is going on.The animation is great, as usual by Don Bluth. I've got to say the Duke's voice acting is great and greatly animated as well as Chanticleer's singing scenes. Nonetheless, most of the characters were quite lacking, especially Edmund. You can't really root for him....and as a child and grown-up, never did understand why the sun did shine when the Chanticleer didn't sing...

dobrien4587 Don Bluth has made some great movies in the past. However, every film maker has his mediocre film, or in Don's case, several mediocre films. Rock-a-doodle is one of those films that could have been several times better than the end result.The story is somewhat passable, but it's full of plot holes, like the fact that the sun rose without Chanticleer, it sets almost immediately, and then it turns out he's needed for the sun to rise. That plot hole is inexcusable, and it bugged me. But the dialog, and some annoying characters are what got me. Edmund, our main hero may be cute, but he is just plain annoying, the Owls can't go five freaking minuets without singing, etc.The plot of the film is that this rooster named Chanticleer, (voiced by Glenn Cambell) has a job that is to wake up the sun by crowing. The Grand Duke of Owls (Christopher Plummber) sends an owl to attack Chanticleer and distract him so that he forgets to crow, the sun rises without Chanticller (then sets almost immediately) and everyone thinks Chanticleer is useless, so he sets off for the city, since the sun set, it starts to rain, and our villain the Grand duke is very happy.As it turns out, the story of Chanticleer is actually a story book that is being read to our Hero Edmund. its flooding where he lives and he calls Chanticleer for help. This makes no sense considering Chanticleer is just a character, but the Duke still appears to try and silence Edmund. After Edmund is rescued by a Dog named Patoo, Edmund and a bunch of the other animals go to find Chanticleer, because apparently his crowing DID bring the sun up, (plot hole alert) Thats all Im going to say about the story, while its not bad, it kind of drags after a while. the songs by the way are HORRIBLE, there all dull, repetitive and just annoying. But the movie had moments that made me smile, the ending climax made me smile, and there was some other moments.Bottom line, its not the worst, but its not the best.

thedarkjackal101 This film is one of the most undeservedly underrated of the good old Bluth movies, I think. It takes the classic fish out of water idea to another level. This is a theme I noticed with a lot of movies of that time, where creativity was much more free. The archetype of a lone hero who is thrust into a strange place with no way back and has to make fight or flight of the situation.In this story, Edmond, the protagonist, is transformed into a tiny kitten against his will and taken from all that he knows with little more than the shirt (And fur) on his back, having to use his human mind to aid the clutch of critters that have been dispatched to retrieve the exiled Chanticleer and get him to sing the sun back.This also introduces the theme of the hero stacked against towering odds... Not only is danger around every corner for one as small as him, but the very person he seeks to coax into returning doesn't want to come back.This isn't one to pass up, folks. To Hell with Rotten Tomatoes' rating!
