Five unlikely pigeons band together to deliver an important message to the allied command before D-day. And they save the day. A cartoon that matches great voices to classic British characters: the small guy, er, bird who becomes the unlikely hero; the snooty, erudite who shows guts, the dirty, street smart shell-game bird who talks his way into and out of problems. You know these characters. When you see the sergeant who has to get the rag tag birds together, think: Big Joe (Telly Savalas in Kelly's Heros).
You already know what will happen to Falcon Von Talon, voiced by the devilish Tim Curry. Don't let the predictability and formula stop you from seeing this movie with your kids. And this is a kids movie. Not too scary but you might have to explain why the falcons are "bad".
If you like war movies from the 1940s and 50s and you like really good cartoons then you will like this movie. And so will your kids. Watch this movie on Friday family movie night. Make sure you have room on your couch for the family pet. Take time to give the animals their do.
The Dickin Medal was awarded to any animal displaying gallantry and devotion to duty during World War II.
A very enjoyable light fare for you and your children.
