The Aviators

The Aviators (Cher Ami... ¡y yo!), released as Flying Heroes in some countries, is a 2008 Spanish animated film directed by Miquel Pujol from a script by him and Ibán Roca. Produced by Accio Studios, the plot concerns the true story of Cher Ami, a bird that lives on a French farm, who enlists in World War I to become a war pigeon so he can be regarded as a hero. The soundtrack, composed by Manel Gil and performed by the Bratislava Symphony Orchestra, features the vocals of Spanish singer Nina. The Aviators had its world premiere at the San Sebastián International Film Festival on 26 September 2008, before being theatrically released in Spain on 19 June 2009. It won Best Animated Film at the 2nd Gaudí Awards.

An English dub of the film was recorded at Santisound Studios in Los Angeles California in 2009. In 2015, the film would be distributed to the US by Viva Pictures on DVD and Blu-ray. This release would redub the characters of Cher Ami and Lindbergh with Brad Garrett and Jeff Foxworthy respectively, likely for name recognition.
