Great as a kid

Not as good as a grown up! The major issue is the storytelling, quite confusing or incomplete. How did the Duke be at the roof waiting to eat the farm animals in one shot, then appear to be at his lair making a call to Pinky (who we have no idea how he knows him) and then appear yet again at the rooftop on the next scene, quite weird. The narrator has to tell you too much so you know what is going on.

The animation is great, as usual by Don Bluth. I've got to say the Duke's voice acting is great and greatly animated as well as Chanticleer's singing scenes. Nonetheless, most of the characters were quite lacking, especially Edmund. You can't really root for him.

...and as a child and grown-up, never did understand why the sun did shine when the Chanticleer didn't sing...
