In this animated film, Chanticleer (Glen Campbell), a barnyard rooster, has convinced the other animals that his crowing makes the sun rise. When, one day, he forgets to crow and the sun comes up anyway, the secret is out. He heads for the big city in shame. But as massive storms and dark clouds stop the sun from appearing, the farm animals get worried, so a mouse named Peepers (Sandy Duncan) and a kitten called Edmond (Toby Scott Granger) lead the gang on a trip to find Chanticleer in the city.

Nell Minow Movie Mom Rated: 3/5 Dec 24, 2002 Full Review Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times The movie has some good songs and some lively animation, but what bothered me was that most of the interaction between characters was on the level of violence. Rated: 2/4 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Marjorie Baumgarten Austin Chronicle Rated: 2/5 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Malcolm Johnson Hartford Courant For all the technical feats, droll touches and some rooster rockabilly belted out by Glen Campbell, "Rock-a-Doodle" comes off as slight as its title, a cartoon in search of a story to tell. May 30, 2018 Full Review James Plath Family Home Theater The problem . . . as is so often the case with non-Disney animated features, is the concept itself--and that includes a live-action 'frame' that seems gratuitous, even clunky. Rated: C+ Jan 16, 2018 Full Review Tim Brayton Alternate Ending It certainly does feel like a dream, albeit the kind you have when you're running a fever and have gotten all messed up on cough medicine. Rated: 1.5/5 Aug 30, 2017 Full Review Read all reviews

Alexandre N A very good premise that did not deliver. Only one good song, a poorly written story with forgettable vilains. Also, why does the boy becomes an animated character?
