Valiant (76 min)
Synopsis: The whole world is looking for a hero, and it's up to a little pigeon named Valiant to step up and bravely serve his country. Valiant 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.
