At the Movies!

[GameWizard001]

Haven't seen Rock-a-Doodle in forever, but to be honest, I didn't like it much. Doesn't surprise me there were cut scenes there either:



Here the main owl villain is getting ready to bake a baby skunk into a pie. This was cut when someone from a test audience alerted Bluth to the fact that many cases of child abuse occur in the kitchen, or with objects from there, so he thought it would be in bad taste to leave it in.

Rock-a-doodle was one of those movies that you'd love as a kid, but when you revisit it again as a grown up it has its flaws. One of my complaints with the movie was Edmund. He was just annoying as hell. The story that it was originally based off of started off at Disney. Except Disney backed on on doing it. Concept art of it can be seen in the art book 'The Disney that Never was'.

The stunk scene wasn't the only thing that the test audiences didn't like. Originally. The character goldie was designed similar to Jessica rabbit, but the test audience ''asked''(how I pity the poor choices that these saps make) Bluth to cover up the cleavage. And I question why Bluth didn't bother to make animated features similar to Ralph Bakshi's works after finishing Land before time. He might have had a better career doing stuff like Dragon's Lair and Space ace if even give the thought of it.

I agree, this was one of those movies I loved as a kid along side Brave Little Toaster. But then I watch it as an adult and yes I hate Edmund as a character or I should say I hate the kid playing Edmund. He is way too annoying but I suppose back then really good child actors were really hard to come by. Now really wonderful child actors/young adult actors are cropping up everywhere (Game of Thrones prime example) but during the late 80'-early 90's kid stars were everywhere but awful.
