Valiant (2005)
Directed by Gary
Chapman this animated film features the voice talent of Ewan
McGregor, Ricky Gervais, John Cleese and Olivia Williams. 1944, a
group of misfit British pigeons sign up to do their bit for the war
effort carrying messages.
There is a good basis
for a story here in both the British obsession with WWII and role of
animals within the war effort but this is a pretty weak by the
numbers offering. What the script really lacks is character depth and
humour you would find in an effort by someone like Pixar. The cast
features a good crop of British talent but has little to work with
really which is a real shame.
3/5
