Chanticleer 

Lost Disney Film


Numerous attempts to turn the French play about a rooster who believes his crowing makes the sun rise into an animated feature. Various story ideas were tossed around, the most complete one pitting local hero Chanticleer against sly trickster Reynard the fox.

Sadly, the shelved in 40's, 60's, and even in the 80's. Though he would not agree to the former proposal, Walt did decide that one of the two projects currently in development at the studio would have to be shelved. The reason why The Sword in the Stone was kept over Chanticleer was because it was cheaper to animate humans than it was animals. No animation was ever produced, but tantalizingly beautiful artwork survives.

The music was composed by George Bruns. He had written three songs for the film which Mel Leven had lyricized.

You No Good Reynard

And

Yesterday is Over


In other words, this was one of Disney's greatest film that was never made. 

Oh, my sister woke me up at 7AM because there was a tiny scorpion in the kitchen sink. Now it's 9AM and I wish I can go back to sleep but it's so hard. Now I think I'm coming down with something....yay.

Here's some art work that I found and liked:
