Original soundtrack from animation (CGI) family comedy/adventure about wood pigeon and friends forming Royal Homing Pigeon Service, "featuring" Ewan McGregor, Tim Curry, John Cleese, John Hurt, Jim Broadbent. Music includes now-requisite "whistling march" tune plus variety of rowdy adventure pieces. Scoring uses full orchestra but avoids heavy hand, keeps balance of humor and adventure in check. Musical requirements include Royal Philharmonic Orchestra plus Central Band of the Royal Air Force, Chris Dean and the Syd Lawrence Orchestra. George Fenton conducts.
