Rock-A-Doodle is a 1991 animated re-telling of Edmond Rostand's Chanticleer. This film was directed by Don Bluth, produced by Goldcrest Films for The Samuel Goldwyn Company, and originally released to U.S. movie theatres on April 3, 1992.
The rooster on the farm, Chanticleer, has to sing every morning for the sun to rise. One morning, he is stopped from singing and the other animals discover that he's a phony - the sun rises anyway. He becomes an outcast and runs away to the city. However, the animals discover that this was a mistake, because the sun stops coming up and rain, which causes a flood, begins instead. A few of the animals decide to go into town to find Chanticleer and ask him to come back. And they have to hurry, because the horrible owls, who love the darkness, are coming.
