Valiant has an interesting atmosphere to it considering it takes place during WWII and it's nice to have some educational value about the animals working in the war. Valiant, however, is very weak in the story department even for a family film. The animation isn't very appealing either. There are a few likable characters most who appear later on in the film, but overall the film feels dull. Luckily, most kids will probably enjoy it. Overall Rating: 51

Not a particularly mind-blowing film. Honestly I was expecting a lot worse than I got, but the story is so and so. I think that at its core there's a great underdog story here but the writing isn't exactly top-notch so it's a complete letdown. Not to mention the animation isn't great. Then again how much CAN you do when your budget is $35 million compared to the $100+ million that a Dreamworks or Pixar movies get for its budget. So I don't think it's really fair to compare, even if they're in the same genre. It's got a different enough setting that it doesn't feel like every CGi movie out there and the voice acting is pretty solid, even if the dialogue is not particularly impressive and is pretty much a cliched 'it's not the size of the dog it's the size of his heart' type of thing It is incredibly dull is probably the best term for the movie. There's nothing that's really offensively bad about the movie, I mean unless you think that using World War 2 as a backdrop for a kids' movie is offensive., but there's nothing particularly good about it either. It's definitely the most skippable CGi movie I've ever seen. The best thing about it, however, is not even the movie itself. It paints a nice picture that not only humans contributed to the WW2 efforts. It said that animals help saved thousands of lives during the war and that animals were honored for their work in war with a medal called, and this is legit here, the Dickin medal. 54 of these were given away, 32 of them to pigeons, 18 for dogs, 3 for horses, and 1 for a cat. That's definitely the coolest thing about the movie as I didn't even have any idea this was done. So at least I learned something I didn't know before with this movie.

It'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.

The 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
