Synopsis:
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 (voiced by EWAN
McGREGOR), 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.
