An Exercise In Nonsense

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

This is an unusual, but very good CGI film, it deserves more credit than it is receiving. One good thing is it doesn't mind mentioning the Second World War - and you might actually learn something that happened in the past for real - not what happened in animation before. As in most animated films, the characters are very likable and there are lots of good actors voicing them, such as Ewan McGregor (Valiant), Ricky Gervais (Bugsy) and Tim Curry as the main baddie, a falcon. Even though it is about the Second World War, this still remains to be funny, yet serious about the situation at the same time, which is usually very hard for a CGI film.The main character is Valiant, a very small but very brave pigeon, wanting to fight in the war and brave the dangers. Despite other pigeons discouraging him, he flies off to London, where he will sign up to become a messenger pigeon. On the way, he meets a very dirty pigeon called Bugsy, who helps him start his training. It is the beginning of a dangerous and huge adventure...Enjoy "Valiant"! 7 and a half out of ten.

This film is about a pigeon called Valiant, whom no one thinks he could do anything big. It turns out that he does Britain a great service in World War II as a messenger pigeon.The animation is excellent. The movements are smooth, and the birds are portrayed in great detail. However, the plot is very thin and totally predictable. The humour is not funny because it repeats itself every 30 seconds. There must have been 30 scenes where birds have mid air collisions and 30 scenes where birds hit a post and falls down. That does not even count the 30 farts and belches. And have I forgotten to mention smelly armpits? Can the filmmakers be more inspired and make less crude humour? I am not sure if kids will enjoy this. The characters are not even likable or cute. It is not entertaining enough.

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.

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
