Valiant

My nephew had seen this movie with mommy and daddy, but kept telling Pammie "Noah and Pammie go see pigeons!" So we went on a date to see the pigeons (not to be confused with the penguins movie currently out!). Valiant is an animated comedy that tells the story of a lowly wood pigeon named Valiant, who overcomes his small size to become a hero in Great Britain's Royal Air Force Homing Pigeon Service during World War II. The RHPS advanced the Allied cause by flying vital messages about enemy movements across the English Channel, whilst evading brutal attacks by the enemy's Falcon Brigade.
After I bought my ticket (he's still free!), we went to the concession stand for a kid's pack--a small tray of popcorn, a small drink and a small packet of M&M®'s. He politely thanked the woman that helped us and off we went to find theater number 10. Stopping along the way, we grabbed a booster seat (the red one, not gray). Into theater number 10 we go and we find it completely empty--we can pick any seats we want! With the booster in place, Noah settled in and a tray of goodies on his lap, we were set. Having seen the movie before, Noah knew of upcoming scenes and would squeal with anticipation or say "watch"--now, normally when people do that during a movie, it can be a little annoying, but when he did it, it didn't bother me. I was enjoying his enjoyment! We did end up sharing the theater with one other family, but they were far enough away that their noise didn't bother us, and I felt we didn't have to be completely silent where we were. When you go to a movie with Noah, you have to sit all the way through it until the very end of the credits. Too fun when this movie ended, credits started rollin' and he's out of his seat dancin' and dancin'! More entertainment for me. Then, with a thank you from him to the cleanup crew, we were out the door.
It was a cute little movie with some clever artwork and humor, and a fun, entertaining way to spend a couple hours with one of my favorite people.
