The Rooster Who Would Not Be Quiet!

In a bright village called La Paz, the townspeople want a little calm to complete their peaceful life, but one rooster keeps singing at dawn and throughout the day. Rather than simply obeying the mayor's new quiet law, the rooster carries on doing what he was meant to do, and his persistence sets off a series of reactions among neighbors and officials. The story follows how the rooster's song affects life in the town, highlighting the tension between rules meant to preserve order and the wildness of natural behavior, without revealing how the dispute resolves.

This animated adaptation is based on the picture book by Carmen Agra Deedy, and it was directed by Ed Mironiuk and Kris Tercek, released in 2019. Deedy is also credited among the creative team, and the project keeps the book's vivid colors and folkloric tone.

Critics and audiences have described the film as a family-friendly fable that raises questions about authority, community standards, and individuality. The animation and voice work aim for warmth and humor, and the narrative centers on how a simple act of singing becomes a spark for conversation about rights, neighbors, and compromise. Reviews noted that the movie works best for children and adults looking for a short, thoughtful moral picture.

Even if it didn't become a mainstream blockbuster, the rooster's defiance taps into a classic story pattern about standing up to restrictive rules, so the film has been useful in classrooms and storytime settings for prompting talk about respect, rules, and expression. The bright design and repetitive singing motif make the titular rooster easy to remember, and the film invites viewers to consider when rules help and when they go too far.
