Rock-a-Doodle/YMMV: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

* [[Adaptation Displacement]]: This movie is '''very''' loosely based on a little-known play called [~~http://en.~~wikipedia~~.org/wiki/Chantecler_~~(play) ''Chanticler''] written by Edmond Rostand. In the play, a rooster named Chanticler is the protagonist, the Goldie character is a non-anthropomorphic pheasant, Edmond and the magical elements are completely absent, and both Patou and the Grand Duke appear (although both have significantly smaller roles than they do in the movie). Most significantly, Chanticler's crowing does not make the sun rise, and he accepts that.

* [[Animation Age Ghetto]]: Although Siskel & Ebert mostly pointed out the flawed plot, they both griped about the amount of violence and darkness in the film, saying that violence does not belong in a children's film. One has to wonder what made them think this was strictly a children's film. Maybe because it's animated. They made the same complaints for most of Don Bluth's previous films as well.

** But as the front page notes, it's not just animated. It's G-rated, edits out any references to alcohol, characters burst into song at the drop of a hat, and the bad guys can be scared off by a flashlight. It has all the hallmarks of not just being for children, but for ''young'' children.
