!! FridgeLogic:
* There are quite a few scenes that make zero sense. One of the first comes early on when Edmond, after his transformation, realizes he's naked and covers himself in embarrassment despite [[NonhumansLackAttributes not having anything to cover up]]). So he puts on a long-sleeved shirt... [[HalfDressedCartoonAnimal which still leaves his lower half completely exposed.]]
** RuleOfFunny, perhaps?
* Another instance of this is when the club Chanticleer is playing at bans all cats, mice, dogs and birds. How do Edmond and the gang sneak in? By dressing as penguins...
** Well, they heard that they were supposed to "[[BluntMetaphorsTrauma bring their penguin suits]]" (i.e. wear tuxedos)...
* To say nothing of the glaring question, if Chanticleer is needed to make the sun rise, ''why did it rise that '''one''' time without his help?''
** [[AWizardDidIt Uncle Dukey did it, maybe?]]
*** More practical explanation: Chanticleer's crowing awakens the sun every morning. One morning it accidentally wakes up a little early, then (as shown in the movie) it basically realizes its "alarm clock" (Chanticleer's crowing) hasn't gone off yet and goes back to bed.
*** Chanticleer's crow energizes the sun. There was a little bit of left-over from yesterday's crow so the sun came up a little. Once it ran out of crowing energy, it went back down until Chanticleer's super-crow, which super-energized it, causing it to rise straight to the middle of the sky.
*** As a small child, this Troper always assumed that the Sun saw how the other animals mocked Chanticleer and drove him away so she refused to rise again as punishment for their bad behavior.
*** [[WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic God got bored one day and wanted to fuck around with a rooster, so he played yo-yo with the sun.]]
** There's the fact that the Duke is shown to have '''insanely''' powerful magic of some kind. One possibility is that the sun doesn't actually ''need'' Chanticleer's help to rise each morning, but that his crowing '''is''' needed to dispel the Duke's power when the owls try to prevent the sun from rising. This could have been going on for so long that the farm animals all forgot that Chanticleer's crowing is protecting the sun from the Duke rather than actually ''making'' it rise. By having his underlings keep Chanticleer from crowing the one time, the Duke crushes his spirit and makes the animals lose faith in him, leading to him leaving the farm. At that point, the Duke is free to come in and prevent the sun from ever rising again, and he sets things up to ensure Chanticleer doesn't come back because he knows that the rooster can ruin the whole thing.
* When Goldie loses her shoes, we get a closeup of her (albeit, stockinged) feet, which seem human-like with toes etc. However, doesn't every other bird-like entity in the movie have talons? All other birds in the movie at least look like birds. Goldie is essentially a human with a bird's head.
* As a nocturnal creature who's WeakenedByTheLight, it's understandable why the Duke would want to immerse the world in unending darkness. But why would he want it to never stop raining? If everything is flooded, then he and his boys aren't going to have any prey to eat.

* The Grand Duke utilizes a magic BreathWeapon that does very unnatural things such as ForcedTransformation amongst other RealityWarper type powers. The other owls, including Hunch, don't display such powers, so it's something that only the Grand Duke has either learned or acquired naturally. How did he get these powers, or more importantly, [[GreaterScopeVillain what or who taught him those powers or bestowed them onto him? And whether or not they're still around, being potentially more dangerous than the Duke or someone who learns these same arts to trouble the heroes in the far future and be even more dangerous- maybe [[FromNobodyToNightmare even Hunch]] for instance. Suddenly, the Happy ending isn't so happy anymore.
