FairlyAnonymous When I first saw trailers for this movie I thought it may be mildly interesting. The animation was sub-par with companies like Pixar, but this movie was advertised by Disney so I was interested.The biggest problem with this movie is that the overall concept is kind of stupid. I do not remember messenger pigeons ever being used in WWII (or to great extent). None of the jokes in this movie were really funny. The characters weren't too likable, and the movie seemed very short. I guess not much happens in the movie. The climax doesn't seem more climatic than the rest of the movie, which was pretty boring.Overall a pretty dull movie with almost no character development, and just an overall bad plot. Not to mention the animation is pretty awful.

daniel Carbajo López In the IIWW, the British Service of Pedgeons is going to broke out. They are forced to send to combat little and inexperienced pidgeons to do the job. In these missions there is Valiant, a very young and courageous one, which, maybe, can change history. The story is the typical for kids: the good ones, the bad ones (but not very bad), some adventures and a happy ending. Though the images are quite good (CG image), the movie has no astonishing moments that one could expect when computers do the job. Anyway, this is a movie for kids, and, well, they probably would be unaware of that. The characters are easy to understand and typical, the story is not complicated and it has some funny moments. It is relaxed to watch, but an adult would probably be bored easily, as the jokes are very childish. This is not Ice Age or Shrek, but parents will not be very fed up (just a little), while kids will have a good time.

Arlis I have to admit that Disney cartoons have always been my least favorite and although they have a few that are really good, most are a bit boring.My problem with Disney was that their animation was dull to me. Some of them like Snow White and actually most of the pre 1980 animated classics were nicely animated but then they seemed to get dull and boring.Even though I am not the biggest fan of Disney it still bothered me to learn they had shut down the animation department a while back. I think that was crazy and they will eventually bring it back.Computer animated movies have taken over the last few years and although I dislike CGI in live action films, I do love it in cartoons. Movies like TOY STORY and HOODWINKED are very fun to watch, very crisp and neat.I thought this movie was beautifully pieced together, but it lacked story and excitement. The characters left much to be desired and its no wonder why I left a vote of 5 and so did almost everyone else who has rated this movie. It is a middle of the road average movie. It will shut the kids up, but keep the adults and older lads bored out of their mind.I will never watch the DVD again and I would not recommend it to anyone. There is a lot more out there to watch so don't waste your time with this.One positive note, The vocal talents were great, especially Ewan McGreggor and John Clease.

Stampsfightclub Through the use of CGI this sweet story about patriotic pigeons brings smiles and occasional laughs to the heart of the viewing audience.Valiant centres on patriotism and brings frequent emphasis to 'what is right' in society. An interesting concept for an animated adventure. The use of pigeons is highly amusing for younger audiences but the viewers watching will see how committed the characters are to helping their country. Was this something they were trying to pull off? Through the use of the central protagonist 'Valiant' we are able to see his personal devotion to his country through the difficult war times. Personally i thought Ewan McGregor performed well, given the strength and determination required of the character The movie preaches through the brave little pigeon 'Valiant' who wishes to enrol in the Royal Pigeon Service. Highly predictable and unfunny for many older audiences but younger audiences will love the film as the pigeons have frequent meetings with physical objects, rude child centred humour and the general movements of the animated characters combine to make much lovable animals. At times such as when they enter the academy there are questions of realism. As the film centres around children they will be able to believe the happenings but for older audiences the ideologies may be a little harder to take, dropping their personal likeness for the film. I thought a few incidents were over exaggerated, particularly the ending. However its a good laugh at the end of the day and we have to accept it for what it is.The effects are stunning. The CGI used to create the film are used to full effect as we have many different characters such as the Falcons, Pigeons and scenery all combining to create a visually stunning film. The attention to detail for the scenery has to be admired. We have the typical 'Badguy' base for the Falcons with dark iconography The story was well thought out but at many scenes the plot failed to captivate the audience. The majority of action scenes are predictable and over exaggerated but all combine to create a fast moving and chuckle-some comedy animation for all ages though the film succeeds in winning the hearts of younger audiences.The voices of Gervais, McGregor and Cleese are all recognised and are funny, especially from Cleese who audiences will immediately recognise his Fawlty Towers routine is used occasionally to bring a smile to the faces of audiences. Gervais to uses his typical laid back attitude to one of the more likable characters Bugsy. His slickness and child centred style of voice goes down well for younger audiences but older ones to as he above all others pulls out the most memorable jokes from the film.Having the film in different settings such as the training camp was a very effective method. In the camp we get to see human elements such as weight lifts changed into animal elements where they use apples instead of weights. These ideologies are very cleverly thought of and bring the occasional chuckle.With many animations being created as often as an excellent Gervais joke its hard to tell which animation creates the best effects when all are visually stunning. Its now what we expect from the animation CGI industry isn't it? This film is visually stunning and is believable for many audiences. The jokes are frequent and are more chuckle-some than laugh your heart out. Its a worth seeing film but not one you would go out of your way to watch.Great film to watch and is recommended
