In this version, Chanticleer (voiced by Glen Campbell) is an [[NoCelebritiesWereHarmed affectionate caricature of Elvis Presley]]. After learning his singing doesn't raise the sun, he runs away to look for work in the city, and becomes a famous rock star. Wouldn't you know it, Chanticleer ''does'' raise the sun, so his friends run after him to try and convince him to come home and save the farm from the [[BigBad Grand Duke of Owls]] (Creator/ChristopherPlummer), an evil wizard owl who hates the sun and wants it to rain forever. Fortunately, [[CelebrityIsOverrated Chanticleer is disillusioned with his fame and fortune and fandom]], and agrees to return to the farm and save the day--unless his manager Pinky the fox (Sorrell Booke), who is secretly in league with the Grand Duke, has anything to say about it.

Added Wraparound Background since Pinky uses one while filming Chanticleer and Goldie.

Added DiffLines:

* WraparoundBackground: Chanticleer and Goldie are sitting on a stationary motorcycle, filming a movie for Pinky's studio. The camera is on their right, while some scenery is painted on a bolt of fabric that loops around two large rollers on their left. There isn't that much fabric involved, so this "scenery" is bound to loop around many times during the filming sequence. Pinky has hired an insect actor to buzz around Chanticleer and Goldie, as if this will somehow disguise the fact that the same shrubbery has passed in and out of frame repeatedly.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: Right before Grand Duke of Owls transforms Edmond into a kitten, Patou, as the narrator, states that "Edmond was about to have the most amazing adventure he'd ever dreamed of." [[spoiler: To the film's credit, it was pretty intense for a young child.]]
