Valiant (Ewan McGregor) and his fine, feathered friends take to the sky on a wing and a prayer to prove that it's not your wingspan but the size of your spirit that truly counts. Together this rag-tag squadron of birdbrains engages in hilarious aerial adventures at a spitfire pace. From the first bumbling day of basic training through the final feather-raising mission, the flock of comical characters swoops their way toward victory. (official distributor synopsis)

English A pleasant appetizer with an acceptably patriotic message, but unfortunately, also with half of the jokes falling into the category of vulgar humor. However, when I imagine the director's cut version, which lasts almost two hours, I feel a sense of dread. ()

English I unfortunately was at the cinema with my small children during the premiere of Valiant and I must say that it was a mistake. The basic idea and the skeleton of the story are solid, but the specific screenplay and characterization of the individual characters are not. The core problem lies in placing the story on the front line of World War II and attempting to create a spectacle clearly intended for younger children. Some associations are quite funny, but they are mostly appreciated by adults. Many attempts at humor fall flat and the characters are only superficially outlined. Overall impression: 40%.
