plot[]
12-year-old Osvaldo owl lives in Hoot-villa, a walled forest where almost all vegetation and plant-life are real ("Hoot-Villa"). Ted has a crush on environmentalist Audrey barn owl, and decides to impress her with a few plants and a "real rock legend". His grandmother Norma tells him the legend of the Grand-duke, who knows what happened to the farm, trees and animals. Leaving Hoot-Villa in search of the Grand Duke of Owls, Osvaldo discovers that the outside world is a barren, almost-contaminated marsh-like wasteland where alligators, owls, ravens and snakes survive among other swamp animals, with no farm animals in sight.
He finds the Grand Duke, who agrees to tell him the story of the farm over multiple visits. The next time he leaves home, Ted encounters Hoot-Villa greedy mayor Aloysius O'Kill Kestrel whose company sells bottled oxygen to the forested city. Explaining that trees, and the oxygen they produce freely and the farm animals as well as owls, pose a threat to his business, O'Kill pressures Osvaldo to stay in town, but he continues to visit the Grand-duke.
The Grand Duke gives Osvaldo the last corn seed in hopes he can regrow the farm and forest and make others care about trees and animals. Ted returns home to plant the seed, which is spotted by O'kill's city-wide surveillance. Enlisting the help of Audrey Barn owl and his family, Osvaldo is pursued by O'Kill to the center of town. O'Kill rallies the citizens against Osvaldo, telling them that trees and animals are noisy, dangerous and filthy, but Osvaldo uses an earth-mover to knock down a section of the city wall, revealing some of the environmental destruction outside. Inspired by Osvaldo's conviction, the crowd turns on O'kill, and some kestrels watch in awe the seed is finally planted ("Let It Grow"). Time passes and the farmland begins to recover; new trees and plants sprout, former animals return, and the now-elderly Grand-Duke and Hunch set aside their differences as they reunite with Chandler rooster and his hen wife and chicks who arrive in a turkey-driven limo.
