Valiant is a small pigeon who wants to join the British army to fight the nazis,flying messages of the ally forces. His mother doesn't want to let him go, his neighbors laugh at him, and the Sergeant tells him he won't last a week,due to the fact he is quite small.

 

The job is very dangerous ,as the best pigeons have been caught by the nazi falcons,so ,although being quite small,they take Valiant too,as not many pigeons have enlisted.

They need to train for 6 weeks,but shortly after they start training they need to give it up,as they are needed to send a message to London. So we're about to find out if Valiant has what it takes to be a hero.

 

When it comes to acting,the actors were at their best,Ricky Gervais' character,the pigeon who hates to bathe and is followed around by 3 flies which nested in its feathers,is the comic relief..

 

Valiant is a family animation movie,it's funny and enjoyable.
