- Synopsis
- Aces is an animated feature that shows the world from a bird’s eye view and tells the story of a cocky, rebellious, Cool Hand Luke-type of pigeon named Paulie Pigone. Paulie has spent his life in the city, raised by this mother and watched over by his father’s old wingman from the Air Corps. Paulie tries to do things his own way, a loner in his arrogance and his ability to out-maneuver nearly every bird in the sky. However, he gets into legal trouble after crashing during an aerial race and wakes up in the bird cage. At his trial, he is given the option to serve time in the cage or join the Air Corps. Paulie finds himself in basic training with birds from all over the country, from all flocks. He’s outside of his comfortable world of city pigeons. Not only must he learn how to fly with a fighter helmet and oxygen tank, but he also has to learn that he can’t take on the world alone. He has to learn to be part of a team as we build into his squad’s first mission, a rescue mission to save three squirrel brothers from Gegner, the hawk who has taken them hostage and is ransoming the squirrels for a winter food supply. Where Paulie was once self-serving, he learns to become the hero who would sacrifice anything to help his wingmen first. He learns to serve something greater than himself and gets to become better than he ever could on his own in Aces.
