Rock-A-Doodle Page #5

Synopsis: Edmund is a boy whose favorite story of Chanticleer, a rooster whose singing makes the sun rise every morning until the Grand Duke of Owls, whose kind despises the bright sun, makes him look like a fraud. With Chanticleer driven from his farm, the owls put it under a spell of perpetual darkness and rain. As Edmund's own farm floods, he calls to Chanticleer, only to summon the Duke himself who transforms him into a kitten to devour him. Rescued by Chanticleer's former friends Patou the hound, Snipes the magpie and Peepers the mouse, they go on an adventure to the city where the rooster had gone and became a great singing rock star!

- Garbage.

Ah, this is pathetic.

I risk my life and what do I get?

Garbage!

Why, I've never been so--

Wow!

- The city!

- Wow!

- It's so beautiful.

- Now, all we got to

do is find Chanticleer

and that's gonna be like hunting

for a needle in a haystack.

(yawning)

(clattering)

- Ow!

- Uncle Dukey, Uncle Dukey!

I got 'em.

- If I killed my nephew, would

that be murder or charity?

- I got 'em, I really got 'em!

No more kitty, sir.

Mission, oohoh, accomplished.

- And the dog?

- Gone, wiped out, sir.

Total and complete, ohoh, annihilation.

- Annihilation.

How did you do it?

- Adequately.

- Ahe--

Wait, what's that supposed to mean?

- Well, Uncle, we sucked

them into an adequate pipe.

- A what?

- That's what it said.

"Danger, adequate pipe."

- Oh, dear.

Come to Uncle.

- Aaah.

- You imbecile!

That's not an adequate

pipe, it's an aqueduct pipe!

It leads straight into the city!

(gulps)

The Duke gives you one last chance, Hunch.

Them or you.

Get to the city!

- Oh, not the city, sir.

Oh no.

It's too bright, I'll go blind.

- Oh, say it isn't so.

- Chamer, Chanta, Chantilly, Chantz.

He's not in here.

Let's go.

- [Patou] You ever get

that feeling when you're

;ookin' for something that

it's right under your sniffer?

I know it seems crazy,

but it was almost like

we could hear his voice calling to us.

You know, like he was just waiting

for us to come and ask him back.

But we looked everywhere,

and we talked with everyone,

but nobody had heard

of Chanticleer, nobody.

Funny thing was, he was right

under our nose the whole time.

Or should I say, we were under his.

- No, Patou, that's not how it goes.

For the hundredth time, it's over, around,

under and through, that's

how Patou ties his shoe.

Now you say it.

(humming)

- Ooh, there you are!

Pilot to bombardier, enemy target below!

I'm going in for a closer look, cover me!

(makes vroom noises)

(gasps)

- What was that?

(giggles)

- Complete attrocitation.

- Alright you guys, we've

left it long enough.

They're counting on us back at the farm.

- Well, if you ask me--

- We didn't.

- Jumpin' Jehosaphat!

- What?

- It's him!

- [Snipes] Who?

- [Peepers] No wonder

we couldn't find him,

he's changed his name.

- [Patou] Chanticleer is the King?

- [Edmond] The King?

- [Patou] Ooh, your Highness.

- [Announcer] Ladies

and gentlemen, the King!

- [Patou] Old Chanticleer

may have stopped crowin'

but he hadn't stopped

using that voice of his.

Let me be your rooster

And let me roost with you

(screaming)

Let me be your rooster

Let me hear your sweet voice coo

Girl, you've thrown me for a loop

You're the number one

chick in this chicken coop
