Rock-A-Doodle

Rock-A-Doodle (1991) is a Don Bluth animated musical you can watch online on iFILM. Chanticleer the rooster is convinced that his morning song is what pulls the sun into the sky — until the day it rises on its own, with no crow at all.

Humiliated, he walks away from the farm and heads to the big city to make it as a rock 'n' roll star. With him gone, darkness creeps over the fields, which is exactly what the light-hating Grand Duke Owl has been waiting for. A tiny white kitten named Edmond and a ragtag band of farm animals set out to track down the runaway singer and win back the stolen sun. Country legend Glen Campbell sings Chanticleer, while Christopher Plummer voices the sinister owl.

Bluth pours in all his trademarks — lush hand-drawn animation, big musical numbers, and a streak of real menace that always claws back toward the light. A family film aimed squarely at anyone raised on The Land Before Time. Stream Rock-A-Doodle (1991) online on iFILM.
