Valiant

January 5th, 2007 by Jennine

I found Valiant to be an entertaining movie, suitable for all ages. The German falcons were suitably menacing for older ages without giving the little one’s nightmares. I found myself involved in a game of pick the actor for the various voices, which also proved to be a lot of fun.

Ewan McGregor is Valiant, the brave little pigeon who just wanted to do his bit for the war. He struggled on, even though there were many who thought he couldn’t do it and finally enlisted in the RHPS (Royal Homing Pigeon Service). He wouldn’t have been able to do it without his mate Bugsy (Ricky Gervais). If you liked Gervais in The Office you will like him in Valiant.

The animation is great, the story is strong, it’s just disappointing that it is so short. Valiant is only 75 minutes long and you do wish the movie goes for longer. There is more that could have been added as your attention doesn’t wander and I found it captivating how they personified the creatures.

Valiant is a good movie, fun for the family and entertaining to all. I’m looking forward to seeing more animated movies like this in the future.
