I'd have LOVED to see that made.
I was so anticipated when I heard Bluth was doing it until I saw the film and realised that he wasn't doing it at all and that his version was just a sort of spin on the Chanticleer idea.
Still, I find Rock-A-Doodle to be one of the better independent Bluth films, if for nothing more than hearing Phil Harris' heartfelt and delicate narration.

He may be referring to Titanic: The Animated Movie (2001): Amazon, The Unknown Movies, Titanic-Titanic, IMDB.
It was the Titanic film that boasted in its preview, "Child-friendly ending assures everyone is rescued and lives happily ever after!"
