Then, one night, another Rooster intended to take Chanticleer’s place. And after Chanticleer crowed, the other rooster fought against Chanticleer, won, and tried to crush Chanticleer's throat after screaming at Chanticleer’s face, Patou stops the rogue Rooster from doing More physical harm to Chanticleer. Chanticleer went into a depression, and according to law, the losing rooster is to leave the farm, never to return. the other animals plead for Chanticleer to stay, but fall on deaf ears as Chanticleer headed east as the rogue rooster taunted the depressed rooster. through the entire day, the farm's animals were too depressed to sing, dance, work, or even smile since Chanticleer left. (Throw the Roses away) As morning was nearing, Chanticleer’s replacement refuses to crow as the sun does go up, but goes back down, after a minute. the farm animals, realizing that Only Chanticleer can raise the sun, chase the rogue rooster off as He laughs maliciously. and the scene changes to the real world somewhere in Midwest Tennessee, Spring 1988.
a young boy named Edmond is told a bedtime story, by His father with Edmond’s elder brothers Scott and Mark listening as The mom is on the way home. Then, a phone call comes as a Pack of coyotes attack the town. Edmond's father and older brothers go outside to fight off the coyotes, as Edmond is told to stay. As the coyotes were about to get through, Edmond after remembering how Chanticleer can crow for the sun to rise, Shouts Chanticleer's name. then, a limb off a rotting tree, breaks and impacts Edmond, knocking Him out.
Moments later, as Edmond was waking up, He picks up the book which glowing in an evil red color, right after Edmond's father comes in the bedroom. The storybook then sucks Edmond and some objects inside, turning Him into a kitten, as He lands on the farmland, but in a black color, The Duke appears and was about to eat Edmond for screaming Chanticleer's name. Fortunately, before the Duke could swallow Edmond, Patou comes to the rescue, and during the fight, Edmond sees this and tries to find something on the ground. He sees a flashlight and turns it on, forcing the Duke away from the farm. Soon, the farm animals come out of the barn, unaware of some of the stuff the storybook sucked in. (Video Game System based on the NES, Sneakers, a Walkman, VCR, a telescope, some yo-yos, comic books, a computer based on the Apple II-C, and a slingshot.) since the animals are low on food and countermeasures against the coyotes that will return, and worse, because of the Duke’s Magic, The night will go on forever. Edmond, looks up for some stars in the sky, but because of the Duke, There were no stars at all, not even the moon. Edmond gets an idea and checks the barn for a wagon, some firecrackers, a magnifying glass and some spare flashlights. As everyone else stays behind to keep the coyotes and other night creatures away, Edmond, along with Patou the dog, Peepers the mouse, and Minnie the Rabbit ride the wagon to the train station to get on a train to the city as Patou throws firecrackers at the coyotes to clear a path, thanks to the flashlight gathering light for the telescope to burn the firecracker fuse, to scare the coyotes As the gang head for the Train station, as the rest of the farm denizens, composed of a pig, a squirrel, a couple of chickens, a turkey, a mouse, some chicks, and a magpie wish them good luck.
At Owl Overdell, where the owls live, the Duke gets word from two smaller owls that four animals are already on Their way to the city. So, The Duke sends out Hunch and some of His Owl henchmen to cut them off, since the coyotes would Be too dumb and distracted to pursue. Despite some difficulty, the heroes survive the owls' ambush and sneak a ride on the train to the city. (Since the heroes don’t have enough money) Meanwhile, the Owl King comes to the Overdell, all the while talking down to the Duke. but, when Hunch returns telling the others that Edmond’s group have been dealt with by way of poison ivy, The Duke tells Hunch that Poison Ivy is not toxic, and that Edmond's group is still alive, He calls for His henchmen to deal with the heroes, in order to keep Chanticleer from returning.
with only 20 miles until the heroes reach the city, Edmond’s group is spotted by one of the train workers, and They jump off the train to avoid arrest. Continuing their trek to the city by foot, Edmond’s group come across a dilapidated circus called LeDonnola Circus, which is full of weasel clowns who work for the Duke of Owls. Edmond's group sneak in, seeing some roller skates in a junk pile. Peepers suggests getting them, but, Edmond and Patou disapprove because that would be stealing. Of course, Peepers counters that if they’re in a junk pile, the clowns don’t need them anymore. So, Edmond’s group go on ahead to the city using the skates. Moments later, however, the weasels spot the heroes and chase after them. Open their way to the city, (Based on Branson, Missouri and the 1980s) the heroes spot the weasels going after them, so, They remove the skates and hide out in a diner for the night.
The next morning, Edmond’s group start the search for Chanticleer, upon exiting the diner, Peepers hears Chanticleer’s voice on a jukebox, as Edmond learned that the newspaper He bought was made in 1959, and that He really did go in the storybook into the past. Later, as the others continued the search, despite the interference of Pinky, a fat fox and the Duke's most reliable henchman, without being seen. Meanwhile, back at the farm, things were going bleak as the animals there rations whatever batteries were still fresh as the night creatures were getting closer.
Hours later, Edmond’s group manage to sneak inside Pinky Pavilion wearing sheep costumes, where Chanticleer is to perform a detective-based musical Number, during the number, Pinky tells His henchmen to capture Edmond’s group on sight. the gang makes a message asking Chanticleer to come back. And despite some interference, they get the message to Chanticleer, and they exit to avoid getting caught. Of course, Goldie who was told by Pinky to pretend to like Chanticleer, grabs the message before Chanticleer had a chance to read it. Pinky was unhappy that His Pinky Pavilion was shut down, not because the ratings were low, because of the ruckus caused in the Pinky Pavilion and that a few more of the bouncers got injured. Learning that Chanticleer will head for Los Angeles, Edmond’s group head there, as well, sneaking inside a moving van. As the others think up a new plan to get to Chanticleer's attention, However, Pinky manages to capture Edmond’s as Hunch was about to attack, and Pinky declares to have Minnie as Dinner. Goldie who witnessed it, realizes what’s going on, decides to tell Chanticleer and gives Him the message Edmond’s group made.
At the shipyard, Edmond’s group is put in a big box, to be sent to China in less than an hour. as the barge gets closer, Hunch tried to push the box containing the captives to the ocean, Patou informs Edmond that once midnight strikes, 28 days after the Endless Night is cast, the world will be forever covered in the dark magic of Archibald, the Owl King, not even Chanticleer's crowing will make it go away. Edmond refusing to accept defeat, tries to break out of the box, and thanks to his night vision, (since cats only need a sixth of light humans need) Edmond finds a crowbar and they break out. The group continues The search, as Peepers asks where the nearest radio station is. Minutes later, Pinky sees the barge arrive at the wharf, celebrating that the King will stay in the city forever. while Goldie and Chanticleer rescue Minnie from being dinner. Soon, Pinky's joy turns to shock when He hears a broadcast of Pinky’s kidnapping of Edmond’s group and His plot of selling them to China, He furiously screams.
Edmond's group continue the search, then, a Limousine crosses their path, and driving it is Chanticleer with Goldie and Minnie. As Edmond's group decide to return to the farm, Pinky tells the bouncers to make roadblocks to keep the King from exiting, then, after an abrupt turn, Chanticleer is knocked out. Edmond works the controls as everyone else jettison some things that aren’t nailed down at Pinky and the pursuing henchmen. In the chaos, Pinky tackles the limo, causing Peepers to fall out of the car. Edmond, who sees this, gets a realization, and takes control of the limo to retrieve Peepers.

Patou and Chanticleer close the gates to buy time, while Pinky’s henchmen climb the gates. fortunately, Peepers, who absconded with a Helicopter, gets the heroes and head for the Farm. as Pinky goes into a tantrum, defeated as He and the henchmen are arrested by the police. Edmond, who sees that the darkness is coming toward the farmland, knows They're running out of time.
Arriving at the farm, Edmond’s group notices that the farm animals are gone, with Patou thinking They’re too late. Edmond, however, says they still have time to stop the endless night spell before it becomes permanent. At the Overdell, just as Archibald was about to eat the animals, Edmond's group in the helicopter come to the rescue, holding off the owls, with searchlights and fireworks. however, Hunch, who was hiding inside, clumsily sabotages the helicopter, causing it to sink in the lake. After getting out of the wreckage, Edmond's group try to restore Chanticleer's spirit to stop Archibald from completing the endless night to not only cause darkness to reign over the world, but also to create a gateway to Edmond's world. Edmond, after seeing His home, rallies the animals to chant Chanticleer’s name to restore His ability to crow again. the Duke then has His henchmen restrain the group away from Chanticleer as Archibald berated the Duke for not doing a good enough job, Edmond, refusing to let the owls have their way, bites one owl's arm, and tells the others to keep encouraging Chanticleer. Archibald uses His magic to grab Edmond by the throat, and toss Him against a tombstone, but Patou Uses His body as a cushion to keep Edmond safe, but Edmond was barely breathing. As Archibald continues tormenting Chanticleer. Patou, not wanting to let Edmond’s sacrifice go in vain, rallies the animals cheer for Chanticleer, angering Archibald to the point of turning into a tornado, as His own henchmen are caught inside. Chanticleer, after a few moments, saw His friends being sucked inside, gets sucked in as well. Inside, Chanticleer sees visions of His friends, who still encourage Chanticleer to believe in himself, including Edmond, whose vision is in the form of a young boy. With this, Chanticleer’s depression disappears and crows as loud as He can, but no effect. But, Archibald‘s body began to fill with light, until He explodes in a tremendous explosion, with only a few feathers falling, the farm animals wake up on the ground as they saw Chanticleer come down after bringing back the sun as the last of Archibald’s henchmen left without incident.
With their adventure over, Edmond weakly wakes up and asks what happened as the Sun was finally up. As everyone else leaves the graveyard back to the farm, Edmond was relieved that the owls won’t hurt his family but, He is saddened that he won't see them again. Then, Edmond hears His father’s voice, and floats up in the sky, glowing as his things go up as well. Edmond tearfully says His good-byes to Chanticleer and the others as He vanishes.
Then, back home in the real world, Edmond as a human again, wakes up in his room with His parents and brothers watching over Him. Edmond's father tearfully hugs His son, knowing now, that He'll be alright. A few days later, on the first day of summer, Edmond’s father asked His son about the dream He had. after Edmond explains His adventure, the book glows a white color transporting Edmond and His family (as Cats again) to the cartoon farm, where Chanticleer sang a reprise of "Sun do Shine" as the entire gang celebrate (along with Chanticleer and Goldie’s two offspring, during the song, Chanticleer then tells Edmond and His family that They can come visit any time they want.
