Such a frustrating disappointment

Good idea lost in the noise

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

I liked this movie better when I was little. I did think that the characters could be funny at times and they were very cute. This is a good movie for kids, but keep in mind that some parts can be considered scary.

Hats off to Disney for improving their CG that much in just three years. If you try looking at Chicken liitle which established Disney as capable of making CG-animated movies, you will know. Bolt is also waaay more likable than Chicken Little. Now for the actual movie. Bolt (John Travolta) is a dog whose life is a reality show in which he is a super powered dog who goes on dangerous missions with a girl named Penny (Miley Cyrus). But it turns out that he really believes this and when he escapes from the studio he must deal with not having super powers and come to terms with reality. The plot is pretty similar to The Truman Show, and since I know that movie, Bolt became rather predictable to me. It is cute seeing him interact with humans and hanging out with a feline he meets along the way home to the studio, but that was just not enough to make it a classic. The voice actors did good jobs, that's for sure, and some action scenes are well made, but aside from that it's pretty average. One year later Disney returned with a bang in their last traditionally animated musical which to be honest is a lot stronger than bolt despite not being the mega hit they anticipated.

Cute and Cuddly at times, this Disney Animated Feature is far from a perfectly conceived Story that has a Familiar Feel, but is Loaded Up with Laughs and Endearing Characters. The Triple Bonding of a Dog (Bolt), a Cat (Mittens), and a Hamster (Rhino) on a Road Trip is the Stuff of Life Lessons and Content of Character Building.Despite some Clumsy Storytelling and Transitions, like the End of the First Act, threatens to make the Movie a Chore to Sit through, it does become more Engaging as it Settles into the Story Conceit and Fancy Footwork.Although Rhino (the Hamster) has many Fans, He really is the Weakest of the Lead Trio, and often seems like He is there to give some Confidence to Folks Forever Fighting Weight Problems and is the one relied upon for most of the Comedy Relief. He is Upstaged by the Pigeons.Overall, it's a Charming Children's Film that has some Appeal for Grown-Ups. The Animation is Smooth and Silky and the Graphics are Muted Somewhat to Render a Softer Appeal. It Works. Will most likely not Attain Upper Echelon or Top Shelf Status but is a Solid "Cartoon" and a Respectable Genre Entry.

John Travolta plays a dog in this movie. Normally this movie would be nothing special, just a cute little kids film to show your children. But because the dog is voiced by John Travolta himself, that makes the film an absolute must watch for any breathing thing.He truly steals the show in this flick, as he does in every movie he's ever starred in. He enthralls the audience with yet another one of his Oscar worthy performances that movie-goers of future generations can look back at with the same amount of amazement as we do today. The very presence of John Travolta's voice is enough to watch this film at least twenty times a year.
