BURBANK, Calif., October 17, 2005 – Walt Disney Pictures and Vanguard Animation’s VALIANT, the wildly entertaining animated adventure of the little pigeon who becomes a hero in World War II, comes to roost on DVD on December 13, just in time for the holidays. From the producer of Shrek and Shrek 2, VALIANT delivers stunning animation, a topflight voice cast and an action-packed story loaded with laughs. It’s a soaring family comedy that truly earns its wings. Available for $29.99 (S.R.P.) from Walt Disney Home Entertainment.

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 (Ewan McGregor, “Star Wars Episode III: Revenge Of The Sith”) and his fine feathered friends take to the sky on a wing and a prayer and prove that it’s not your wingspan but the size of your spirit that truly counts. Together, this ragtag squadron of birdbrains engage in hilarious aerial adventures at a spitfire pace. From the first bumbling day of basic training through the final feather-raising mission, VALIANT’sflock of comical characters save the day.
