Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Eric Stevenson As a fan of Don Bluth since I was a kid, I think this is probably where his work started to decline. What's really weird about this film is just how, well weird it is. I mean, it's about a singing rooster that resembles Elvis that is able to bring the Sun up. The weirdest thing is that at one point the Sun comes up without him singing. He then leaves because the animals realize they don't need him to bring the Sun up. It turns out they do. So...why did the Sun come up that one time? It's very dumb. Also, the main kid character in this is really not a good actor. His voice is pretty annoying and I guess I can't blame him since he's just a kid.Now, I did like the animation in this. Come to think of it, ALL of Don Bluth's movies have had good animation. That was something that was always consistent and in a good way. There is also an interesting subplot where a chicken named Goldie falls in love with the rooster, but it sadly doesn't go anywhere. Still, I will praise the visuals and I honestly thought this was something pretty unique for Don Bluth. Wow, owls have really gone downward since their portrayal in "The Secret Of Nimh". I guess the movie itself is harmless enough and doesn't teach bad morals or anything. It's just mostly boring and uninteresting. **

Gavin Cresswell (gavin-thelordofthefu-48-460297) I've been told by a lot of people that this movie is the first of the mediocre entries (except Anastasia) in the early/late 90s that caused Don Bluth's career to go downhill, but as for me, I think I actually found this along with The Pebble and the Penguin to be very decent. Why? Well, I will admit, the story was weird and predictable and has a lot of flaws that went nowhere despite it being supposedly charming. The characters were good. Edmund was okay, but nothing special, Chanticleer and the others were very decent, but the Grand Duke of Owls' henchman and the fox guy that wants some money for using Chanticleer to sing for the audiences were not that interesting. I think that the best character throughout the whole movie is the Grand Duke of Owls himself voiced by Christoper Plummer (who previously voiced Henri the pigeon in An American Tail) since he was so intimidating and very threatening which makes him one of the best non-Disney villains ever.The songs were forgettable. The first song in the beginning was surprisingly good, but some of them were forgettable due to their uninspired lyrics.There were several inconsistencies like the Grand Duke's breath contains magical powers and the rooster can sing while bringing the sun with his cock-a-doodling voice. It's weird, but that's not saying much.And that's it for Rock-A-Doodle. Is it a weird movie like The Pebble and the Penguin? Yes, but unlike A Troll in Central Park, it's not a bad movie for it's worth watching for the kids. For adults, however, they will have a hard time viewing this.6/10

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.
