The rousing, rollicking adventure of the world's first rockin' rooster!
Каждое утро петух Шантеклер будил своей песней солнце. Это очень не нравилось злому филину по прозвищу Великий Герцог, ненавидевшему свет и любившему ночную тьму. Одним прекрасным утром, когда Шантеклер дрался с другим петухом, солнце взошло без его песни. И тогда опозоренный певец покинул родную ферму, чтобы найти счастье в большом городе. И тут же солнце перестало всходить, а над землей нависли огромные черные тучи. Великий Герцог уже празднует победу, но обитатели фермы во главе с пушистым белым котенком Эдмондом отправляются в рискованное путешествие в надежде найти Шантеклера и вернуть украденное солнце…
