PG (for some mild action and peril) – 1hr. 36min.
I had no idea that 3-D could look soooo good! At least for me, the effects of the CG-Anime in this new 3-D format out-shined the story. The cast of voices were excellent and the entire premise of a TV star canine believing that his own exploits were real….astounding! It came as no surprise to me that John Lasseter (Pixar) was the executive producer on another good showing from Disney. When it comes to Lasseter, can he do no wrong? I also recently saw the direct-to-DVD Disney production of the much awaited, and nearly never released, Tinker Bell movie which he was also involved in salvaging.
Bolt (John Travolta) is the epitome of “ignorance is bliss” until his human Penny (Miley Cyrus) is “kidnapped”. With the help of an alley-cat named Mittens (Susie Essman) and a hamster named Rhino (Mark Walton), Bolt has to make his way to Hollywood from New York City. Along the way, he learns to be an ordinary dog when his super-powers stop working and he realizes that he’s just like every other animal.
