Valiant Movie Synopsis

During World War II, a brave but undersized pigeon named Valiant (voiced by Ewan McGregor) dreams of joining the elite Royal Homing Pigeon Service (RHPS).

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, 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.

  Loved it! Too short, though, but had a good historical base.

I thought this movie was very good. It never had a dull moment plus it was very funny. I would have liked it to be a little longer, but other than that, this movie was awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
