Valiant (film) about The Magic Roundabout. He also explained the attraction to making the film in Britain, saying "It would have been $3 million cheaper to make in LA but we had $10-12 million in tax and co-production money that we were able to attract because we made it here." Additionally, the bonus of locating to Britain was that the UK Film Council offered "Valiant" a record-breaking £2.6 million grant. "Valiant"s budget of $35,000,000 is considered low in comparison to other CGI productions, with films which Williams had previously worked on, such as "Shrek 2" having a budget of $150,000,000.
