November 27, 2011It's not amazing but this animated disney movie is a lot better then some of there other recent films. The voice talent is impressive and to be honest, its pretty charming and cute.

January 6, 2011The cast all did there parts, and the film turns out to be quite entertaining, its not up to par with other disney animated features but it still is a very good movie, i mean how can you go wrong with Tim Curry as the villain

August 6, 2010Had some funny bits in it but Valiant's story is not the best and the animation just seems to ripoff Pixar. Only a fool would enjoy this.
Vanguard Animation, the production company behind this, is truly the worst American animation studio out there. Their films have unimpressi... read more -

October 7, 2007Fine UK 3D animation and hilarious of pigeons in the World War II, I like the character of Bugsy (voiced by Ricky Gervais) that he's a lazy, greedy, fast-talking, act really funny and stinky pigeon.

Arguably the blandest of the burgeoning crop of big budget digitally animated films, Valiant aims to prove that the death of traditional animation has simply pushed lackluster screenplays into the dig... Full Review

Even though its historical references and battle scenes may fly over their heads like so many homing pigeons, kids will enjoy Valiant, too, if only for its nonstop action and lively visual design. Full Review

Leslie Felperin, Variety
Despite a handful of good aerial 'birdfight' sequences, 'Valiant' fails to get off the ground due to a by-numbers script and dodo-ugly character design that add up to less than one would expect from '... Full Review

Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star
Not only is the pacing less hyper, the humour less pop-cult savvy and the story almost creakily old-fashioned [than a Pixar production], it even looks like it was made in a cloudier climate: the domin... Full Review

Peter Hartlaub, San Francisco Chronicle
A passable animated feature that will entertain small children, but feels as if it was thrown together quickly. Full Review

Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel
It's watchable. But try explaining all of this not-particularly funny adult history, humor and clutter to a child. Full Review

Kyle Smith, New York Post
Apart from the puns and regurgitation jokes, the story of a group of carrier pigeons on a death-defying mission in 1944 Europe will fly over the heads of actual youngsters.

Stick to the genuinely delightful Chicken Run -- this one's for the birds. Full Review

Even young viewers will recognize Valiant as second-tier Disney.
