Valiant: Ewan Mcgregor
built 263 days ago
As is custom with nearly every animated film released these days, “Valiant” features an incredible voice cast. McGregor, Gervais (“The Office”) and John Cleese are just a few of the actors that adequately lend voices to the characters in this film. It is mostly thanks to this voice talent that “Valiant” remains mildly entertaining, despite featuring the same painful formula found in nearly every animated movie released by a major studio. Also helping “Valiant” are some fairly exciting moments of action, a short running time to keep in line with children’s attention spans, and thankfully, the film stays clear of tired pop culture references found in animated features like “Shrek” and “Madagascar.”

Set during the Second World War, Valiant revolves around the battle between a group of evil falcons (led by the villainous Von Talon) and an assortment of pigeons. One such pigeon, a runt named Valiant (voiced by Ewan McGregor), enlists in the Royal Air Force Homing Pigeon Service, along with the scrappy, fast-talking Bugsy (Ricky Gervais). After a brief training period, the two find themselves sent on a dangerous mission to retrieve an important message from the front - where Von Talon and his henchman have already eaten scores of other pigeons.

The whole world is looking for a hero, and it's up to a little pigeon named Valiant to step up and bravely serve his country. Valiant (Ewan McGregor) and his fine, feathered friends take to the sky on a wing and a prayer to prove that it's not your wingspan but the size of your spirit that truly counts. Together this rag-tag squadron of birdbrains engages in hilarious aerial adventures at a spitfire pace. From the first bumbling day of basic training through the final feather-raising mission, the flock of comical characters swoops their way toward victory. From the producer of Shrek and Shrek 2, Valiant delivers stunning animation, a top-flight voice cast, and an action-packed story loaded with laughs. It's a soaring family comedy that truly earns its wings.

A comedy-adventure tale of a brave-but-undersized pigeon named Valiant (voiced by Ewan McGregor), who dreams of joining the elite Royal Homing Pigeon Service (RHPS), and serving crown and country during World War II.

With a shortage of wingpower in the royal fleet due to increased attacks by a brigade of vicious enemy falcons (led by the ruthless General Von Talon), the mission falls to Valiant and the unlikely heroes of "Squad F" to try and save the day. With a wing and a prayer, Valiant and his fine feathered pals fly into harm's way and prove that it's not the size of the wingspan that counts, but the size of the spirit.
