Review of Valiant (2005) by Yash B — 04 Aug 2013

This movie was a fence-sitter. Was it meant to be funny? The slap-stick did not work, the jokes were not thought out, and then at the end the pretence that this was some sort of testimonial to animals who served their country? Excruciating.

I don't want to fall into the trap of over analysing a cartoon, Ricky Gervais voicing was OK, but in practical terms the movie was too short (not 76 minutes by my watch, just over an hour) and when you take along kiddies you expect some sort of value for money.

It really lacked the charm of Chicken Run, and the fact that several pigeons got vaporised at the beginning made me concerned about how many animal deaths there would be. And I didn't have popcorn which made it worse.
