Animator Don Bluth renders the rousing musical tale of Chanticleer (voiced by country singer Glen Campbell), a foolhardy farm rooster who believes his crows can actually make the sun come up. When the sun rises one morning without Chanticleer's crow, he leaves the farm in disgrace and runs off to become a rock 'n' roll singer. But in his absence, a sinister, sunshine-hating owl (Christopher Plummer) prepares to take over.

God I love this movie. Its one of the few non-Disney animated movies that I can still watch all the way through as an adult. I miss animation like this. I miss Don Bluth.
Love this movie soooo much! I watched it so much when I was little. Love the music! I used to sing along to it then and I still do now. I hope to show this one to my children some day.
