Film review: Justin and the Knights of Valour (PG)

This 3D CG-animated feature, produced by Antonio Banderas, is pallid by comparison with Pixar's similarly themed Brave.

The plot is some sub-Arthurian whimsy about a red-haired youngster (voiced by Freddie Highmore) who yearns to be a knight.

Even the top-notch vocal talent (David Walliams, Saoirse Ronan) struggle to enliven matters.
