I didn't know much about this before I watched it, other than that it was an animated movie about pigeons during World War II.
Turns out, that's pretty much all there is to it. The film follows a flock of pigeons (well, 4 or 5) as they are recruited during World War II, and end up having to carry out a dangerous mission (even though they aren't exactly great war pigeons) because all the other wartime pigeons are dead or have been caught.
It's OK as animated movies go, but there's nothing special here. It was pretty easy to get distracted and then return to the film, still knowing basically what was happening. Probably quite enjoyable for kids, but it doesn't have the edge of great animated movies like Toy Story or Finding Nemo.
Rating: 2.5 out of 5
