VALIANT, a CGI animated family comedy from Vanguard Animation, tells the story of a little wood pigeon, Valiant, with big dreams. He, along with his misfit friends, joins the very elite Royal Homing Pigeon Service, and against all odds, triumphs where their much better qualified colleagues have failed. It is Valiant’s determination that, together with an unbridled courage, turns a little country pigeon into an adventurer and, finally, a hero.

VALIANT brings together the voice talents of Ewan McGregor, Ricky Gervais, Tim Curry, John Cleese, John Hurt, Jim Broadbent, Hugh Laurie, Olivia Williams and Rik Mayall.

The film is a Vanguard Animation production, directed by Gary Chapman, produced by John H. Williams, co-produced by Eric M. Bennett, Curtis Augspurger and Buckley Collum, executive produced by Barnaby Thompson, Neil Braun, Ralph Kamp, Robert Jones, and Keith Evans, with screenplay by Jordan Katz, George Webster and George Melrod.

VALIANT is a Vanguard Animation production to be distributed by Touchstone Pictures in the USA, internationally by Odyssey Entertainment, and by Entertainment Film Distributors in the UK.

VALIANT was developed by Vanguard Animation in Los Angeles and produced at its studios in Los Angeles and London, the latter being on the lot of historic Ealing Studios.
