From the producer of Shrek and Shrek 2, comes
this high-flying computer-animated comedy-adventure tale of a
brave-but-undersized pigeon named Valiant, who dreams of joining the
elite Royal Homing Pigeon Service (RHPS), and serving crown and
country during World War II. Despite his small stature, Valiant's
ambitions are enormous as he keeps a stiff upper beak and endures
rigorous training in preparation for a dangerous mission to deliver
vital messages to troops behind enemy lines. 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. Filled with
adventure, comedy and memorable characters, Valiant delivers
great entertainment for audiences of all ages. John Cleese, Tim
Curry, Jim Broadbent, and an all-star vocal cast of British
favorites also add to the fun and excitement of this imaginative
feature. The film was inspired by the fact that pigeons saved
thousands of lives during the war, and 31 of the 53 top honors given
to animal heroes went to pigeons.
