FACT OF NO REAL IMPORTANCE: The name Chanticleer comes from a fable called "Chanticleer and the Fox". In the story the fox compliments Chanticleer on his voice so he will let down his guard. When he does he snatches the rooster between his teeth (somehow not killing it) and runs away. Chanticleer compliments the Fox on his cunning and suggests he should mock his pursuers. The Fox does so and Chanticleer escapes. Both learn that being to vain or gullible is a dangerous thing. What does this have to do with the movie? FUCK ALL. This has been your FACT OF NO REAL IMPORTANCE.
I saw this movie after the review, and I felt there was so much he left out.
I enjoyed the voice actors and the cast selected. Say what you will about the Grand Duke of Owls, but Christopher Plummer threw out a MAGNIFICENT voice for the character. Phil Harris from Jungle Book and Aristocats as the Dog. I love him to death, and his character is pretty decent, but he NEVER SHUTS UP. There's a time and place for narration, and he uses them all. It kinda looks bad when you cock-block some kids mother to tell the story. Eddie Deezen...Mandark, for crap's sake. That's pretty much the punchline, too. And, of course, Ellen Greene playing the exact same role as she did in Little Shop of Horrors. A dumb blonde with a Princess Peach voice.
And there's a massive plot hole where he mentions the Duke's breath. He's baking in front of an open furnace, a bright one, mind you, despite being scared of light. And he gives the dwarf owl sunglasses to brave the city lights. Why doesn't he use that to just go ape shit on the farm animals instead of waiting for their batteries to dies? (Tweedly Dee leads to stating that, are you fucking shitting me?)

Anywho, that's my rant on the movie.
