Of all the animals to be immortalised by cartoons, there are few less fluffy and endearing than the pigeon.

The soundtrack is good too - it only has a few songs but it uses them in interesting ways and also features the sight of an all-pigeon Mis-teeq performing Shoo-Shoo Baby at the end.

A disarmingly enjoyable movie with a lively cast of characters and an action-packed plot based (very roughly!) on real-life events

It's a tale with plenty of spirit and a good heart, and yet, this story doesn't so much soar across the screen as it does waddle.

Will probably keep youngsters entertained for its short 76 minutes running time.

Pode não ser uma obra-prima (não é mesmo), mas é suficientemente bem realizado para merecer uma conferida enquanto o novo projeto da Pixar não chega aos cinemas.

It's a happy and welcome debut, showing not only a genuine sense of humour and technical brilliance, but a clever ability to combine serious themes with family entertainment.

...this spunky little film doesn't let the minor matter of a bland central character and a lackluster script get it down.
