valiant and voice by ewan mcgregor and be a small pigeon hop to join the elite royal home pigeon service and a group of carrier pigeon serve her majesty during wwii . he finally accept into the motley squad f crew who find themselves on a dangerous mission to rescue a captured pigeon and voice by john cleese . valiant try to appeal to both adult and kid but it end up alienate both of them . the wwii concept be a nice idea but they really do not do anything interest with it . the whole idea will go over the kid since they would not be familiar with it so the film relies on cheap gag for laugh . the usual burping and crashing and lame bird joke be all present here and only a few of them actually work . adult and teen will probably not be please with the humor since it very obvious and stupid . luckily and the film be really short and there isn not too much to sit through . the sad part be that the three credit screenwriter couldn not even come up with enough fresh and interesting material to cover 75 minute worth of film . i think the main reason why the film be so lackluster be because of the weak cast . none of the actor seem to be try and most of the character aren not very interesting . ewan mcgregor be a pretty good actor when he appear on screen . a a voice actor and he below average and his voice be all wrong for valiant . ricky gervais give the only interesting performance a the voice of bugsy but he can not really save the film . john cleese be only average and he barely in the film . besides for the last two and there really weren not any other notable character or performance . maybe i be be a little too harsh on the movie but the effort here be very weak . the story be very obvious and predictable . the humor be very lame and stupid . the character be all flat and uninteresting . the best thing about the movie be the animation and that be only average . compare to recent film like robot and the incredibles and the animation just do not look very good and it hardly save the film . in the end and valiant be mostly a harmless film but it also a dull one and it isn not worth watch . rating 4/10 .
