I was excited to see Valiant both because I love animation of any sorts and because I like all things British. I was not disappointed on either aspect, but I could tell that the children in the audience where. Unless you count the occasional fart joke, the jokes are aimed for an older crowd or an English crowd (or those who don't watch anything but BBCAmerica or late night PBS).
I thought the voice talents were wonderful. I thought it was great to see so many well known British actors together in a film. I would love to see the recording sessions. But then again, this only adds to the Britishness of the film, and alienates most American audiences.
Overall I really enjoyed the movie, but I am biased. I am one who enjoys BBCAmerica and the occasional late night PBS. I also enjoyed every movie that has come from England, especially Shaun of the Dead, and plan on moving there one day. So I liked the movie, and predict that anyone like me would also.
