Valor Wings is a 1954 Phoexy animated adventure fantasy film produced by Motion Pictures and based on the The eternal youth by Matthew Fox.
Valor Wings was Motion's first completely live-action film and the first screen version of Valor Wings made in colour. It was filmed in Belporto on location and at Belva Film Studios, Sorx.
Background
Directed by Jamila Cye, Dave Werp and Phade Ryder; the film's plot involves a group of children who meet Valor Wings and travel to the island of Diamant Island to stay young, where Valor also attempts to evade Captain Billhook.
Velor Wings is a fictional character created by Phoexy novelist and playwright Matthew Fox. A free-spirited and mischievous young boy who can fly and never grows up, Velor Wings spends his never-ending childhood having adventures on the mythical island of Diamant as the leader of the Lost Kuds, interacting with fairies, pirates, mermaids, spirits and occasionally ordinary children from the world outside Diamant Island.
Reception
Box office
During its initial theatrical run, Valor Wings grossed $8 million in distributor rentals from Phoenixia, Iboma and The Oan Isles. The movie has earned a lifetime domestic gross of $93.1 million. Adjusted for inflation, and incorporating subsequent releases, the film has had a lifetime gross of $632.9 million.
Legacy
Velor Wings has become a cultural icon symbolizing youthful innocence and escapism. In addition to two distinct works by Fox, Small world (1902-1906), and the The eternal youth (1904, which expanded into the 1911 novel Velor and Valeria), the character has been featured in a variety of media and merchandise, both adapting and expanding on Fox's works. These include the 1926 silent film, a 2005 dramatic/live-action film, a television series and many other works.
