Rock-A-Doodle[edit]

Is it worth noting that the Don Bluth animated film, Rock-A-Doodle, is based on this play? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.117.107.182 (talk) 18:19, 14 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well, if there are reliable sources which have anything significant to say about the relationship between the play and the cartoon, yes. If it's simply a one-line piece of trivia, probably no. If there are no reliable sources at all, definitely no. Voceditenore (talk) 18:56, 14 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"sophisticated Parisians": Opinion , or Source Needed?[edit]

"The play was not initially successful, partly because of the novelty of animal characters and the long delays (not all the fault of Rostand), but also to Guitry's uninspired performance, and because the sophisticated Parisians in the audience realised their way of life was being criticised."

First, the tone of this seems apologetic, which reads as unusual when compared to most Wikipedia entries. Second, the "sophisticated Parisians" seems entirely inappropriate as it suggests that the audiences who did enjoy it weren't "sophisticated" and it doesn't suffice as an explanation for the play's failure ("sophisticated" audiences should be able to both see the point of the play as well as its craft, and be able to weigh them appropriately) . In general, I'm not sure that determining why a particular play failed is either important or something that is usually so easily determined. Perhaps I'd go so far as to say that the plays whose successes are easily determinable are the only ones where it's worth noting.
