Review of Bolt (2008) by Roxanne R — 04 Jun 2011

PHENOMENAL!! I never imagined I would be raving about an animated motion picture but I AM!! Walt Disney, you have scored a MEGA hit with BOLT in 3D of course!! The animation and characters charge off the screen in glorious, crisp, stunning 3D blu-ray and folks you will laugh and even shed a few tears with this little dog with a BIG Heart!! BOLT (John Travolta) is the star of the biggest tv show in Hollywood, the land of movies and magic. However; BOLT thinks its all real, he thinks he has amazing powers and when Penny (Miley Cyrus) is in trouble while filming the show, Bolt thinks it is real so the show for him is real...No one on set has told him it is just a show...When he is accidentally shipped to New York city and separated from his beloved Penny he springs into action trying to find Penny's kidnappers and reunite with Penny. Along the way he comes across some hilarious pigeons (you've got to see this movie)- the one liners are terrific!! He also comes across a black cat named Mittens (Susie Essman) whom he kidnaps and forces her to help him find Penny. Mittens the cat is trying to figure out whether Bolt is nuts as he tries his heat vision or super strength! Then Bolt enlists the help of Rhino, an equally deluded, TV-infused hamster in a ball â" who steals the show and is the happiest surprise from this well traveled plotline.

And the long shots of the three roving across the landscape, one being a tiny ball, are just too hilarious for words. Ultimately BOLT is forced to confront the reality that he is just ordinary in a world run by humans, while making friends and discovering himself along the way. He learns the meaning of friendship and discovers at the end that there is no place like home and home is where the heart is!! Ladies and gentlemen, this is a gem and it won me over totally...HOORAH for BOLT and his friends Mittens and Rhino, because friends make life worthwhile!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED IN 3D!!!! BRAVO...
