Product Description

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.~~(C) Disney/Vanguard Animation/UK Film Council

Amazon.com

A host of great British thespians, from Ewan MacGregor to John Cleese, lend their voices to Valiant, a computer-animated bird's-eye-view of World War II. Valiant (MacGregor, Big Fish, Down With Love), though but a small pigeon, is determined to join the homing pigeon brigade and do his part to help win the war. He and a handful of other misfits are assembled into a motley squad and suddenly find themselves thrust into combat with the responsibility of delivering a crucial message. Unfortunately, the villainous Von Talon (Tim Curry, The Rocky Horror Picture Show), a Nazi falcon, intends to tear them to feathers over the English Channel. Aside from some delightful voice work from Ricky Gervais (The Office) as a filthy but cunning pigeon, there's not much to recommend about Valiant. The story is clunky, cliche-ridden, and underdeveloped; the design is charmless and inexpressive; the characters are so generic that even a cast as talented as Jim Broadbent (Topsy-Turvy, Iris), Hugh Laurie (House), and John Hurt (1984, The Elephant Man) can do little to make them anything but bland stereotypes from a long-exhausted movie genre. Overall, poorly conceived and clumsily executed. --Bret Fetzer

"It won't get better, but you'll get used to it."

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 26, 2014

Verified Purchase

A small pigeon (Valiant) wants to serve his country, in spite of a height restriction.
This movie follows the path of most war movies with a training sequence followed by a secret mission of the utmost importance. "Permission to die trying sir?" Filling out the team are Bugsy (Ricky Gervais), Lofty Thaddeus Worthington (Pip Torrens), and brothers Tailfeather and Toughwood. Tim Curry provides the voice for the bad guy, General Von Talon ("We have ways of making you squawk."). It's a short movie (76 minutes), but it still provides plenty of time for some daring action scenes.
It's a cute movie, nothing inspired. Bugsy is the funniest of the lot ("Maybe I'm not that conscientious, but I do object!"). It has its moments.

Nice story but a little too colorful if you know what i mean.

Sure glad i screened this before sending to a child for Christmas! So many sexual innuendos! Really little kids wouldnt notice but it's very offensive to many adults and they add nothing to the story. Must be to appease certain kinds of parents...that's all i can think of. Am very disappointed with Disney. Not the company i grew up with.

Meet Disney's Greatest Heroes!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 15, 2013

Valiant is a 2005 Disney DVD of the computer-animated feature film produced by the creative team of Shrek and Shrek 2 and features the talented voice cast of Ewan MacGregor(The Pillow Book), Ricky Gervais(The Invention Of Lying). Tim Curry(McHale's Navy), Hugh Laurie(House) and Olivia Williams. In this story, an English pigeon named Valiant(MacGregor), inspired by the heroic Royal Homing Pigeon Service, joins the ranks. along the way he befriended a smelly and wisecraking pigeon named Bugsy(Gervais)and they take part in a daring message sending mission to the Allies and avoiding the evil Nazi falcon Von Talon(Curry). The DVD special features includes a blooper reel, a R.H.P.S. interactive training game, and sneak peeks of other Disney DVD favourites like Kronk's New Groove, The Wild, Bambi II and Sky High. Valiant is one of the only Disney non-PIXAR DVD and the perfect DVD for both fans of Shrek and World War II historians!

From the POV of a 5 yr old

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 21, 2006

Verified Purchase

I saw this movie in a theatre with my 5 yr old daughter and her friend. They both liked the movie and my daughter thought it was too short. She actually enjoyed it more than some other movies we had seen over the summer. She has watched the dvd a few times which is more than can be said of Madagascar, Herbie, and Sharkboy. It has storyline that is easy for younger kids to follow and it might actually inspire some kids to research the actual wartime pigeon squad. It was a cute movie and it's not impossible for parents to view with their kids. If you're a fan of the BBC "The Office" you'll enjoy the antics of one of the pigeons a little more.

Love films like these

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 9, 2018

Saw this cable several years ago and just loved it. Grew up watching Disney, the old Disney films from the 50s and this did bring back memories of that type of film making. Tim Curry as the Voice of the Evil Hawk was right on. Could have done without the flies attached to the pigeon, but he grew on you after awhile. I now watched these movies in my 60s with my Mom who's in her 80's. Yep, we're still kids sometimes.

This was not quite as good as I remembered but it was still entertaining. According to the kids it has the best game in the special features, though. They said most games included in dvds are lame.

Watchable once for adults, a treat for small children.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on February 7, 2007

Verified Purchase

This is an animated adventure about heroic homing pigeons who are fighting for freedom during WW2.

Because the standard of animated films is getting so high, these films have to be very good indeed to impress adults. I thought it was OK the first time I watched it with my children, though no better than that. However, as I write this review my children are currently watching it for the third time at their request. Holding the attention of a pair of five year olds for the length of even a short film (it's about 76 minutes) is quite an achievement.

The title character is a tiny pigeon, voiced by Ewan McGregor, who is determined to be a hero. He joins the Royal Homing Pigeon service, and finds himself serving with a band of misfits who have to get messages through in the face of the german falcons.

The cast and plot takes the mickey out of many war stories, and fans of wartime comedies such Blackadder goes Forth, 'Allo 'Allo, and especially "It ain't half hot, Mum" will recognise characters from these shows reincarnated as pigeons.

The voice cast, which also includes Hugh Laurie, Ricky Gervais, Tim Curry, and John Cleese, do a professional and sometimes very amusing job of recreating all the wartime film stereotypes.

At the very end of the film shows a short written statment is displayed about the true history of animal bravery during world war 2, which I found strangely moving.

I don't think this film would have been great value for money if bought at the original full price. However, having initially rented it, and then on establishing that my children liked it, put it on the list to buy when it became available cheaply, I'm happy that the pleasure they gained from watching it did justify the relatively limited outlay.

The Fighting Feathers and other non-human soldiers

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on January 26, 2015

Verified Purchase

This is a funny and brilliant film but thinking about It in greater details there is a sadness of the war effort where animals and birds were expendable along with men and women who served. It highlighted in a light-hearted way the lengths of endurance that people, animals and birds were put to in order to survive and above all win.
