Product Description
FOR SUPER-DOG BOLT (VOICE OF JOHN TRAVOLTA), EVERY DAY IS FILLED WITH ADVENTURE, DANGER AND INTRIGUE -AT LEAST UNTIL THE CAMERAS STOP ROLLING. WHEN THE STAR OF A HIT TV SHOW IS ACCIDENTALLY SHIPPED FROM HIS HOLLYWOOD SOUNDSTAGE TO NEW YORK CITY, HE BEGINS HIS BIGGEST ADVENTURE YET - A JOURNEY IN THE REAL WORLD.

Bolt is a funny animated film about a dog who thinks he has superpowers. It is also a movie about friendship, perseverance, and the power of believing in oneself. Everyone knows that superheroes on television are not real, but super-dog Bolt (John Travolta) is a canine star who has been carefully raised to believe that he really possesses superpowers. Bolt is completely devoted to his human co-star Penny (Miley Cyrus), so when Penny is captured by the evil Dr. Calico (Malcolm McDowell) in their latest television episode and then Bolt accidentally gets loose in the real world, Bolt sets off on a journey to save her. Bolt is confounded when his super powers are suddenly ineffective, but inspiration strikes and Bolt quickly discovers the mysterious, power-stealing effects of Styrofoam packing peanuts. An encounter with alley cat Mittens (Susie Essman) gives Bolt some eye-opening lessons about being a real dog in the real world, while star-struck, ball-enclosed hamster Rhino (Mark Walton) revels in the opportunity to serve as Bolt's sidekick in the quest to rescue Penny. The trio traverses the United States from waffle house to waffle house on a hysterical quest to find Penny and prove that the relationship between Penny and Bolt is real. In the end, Bolt, Mittens, and Rhino learn that everyone is special in their own way and they discover the true power of believing in oneself and one's friends. Select theaters showed Bolt in Real-D 3-D which features some nice effects, but the film is probably equally enjoyable in the traditional format. A fun film with a nice message and a huge dose of cute, Bolt is good entertainment for the entire family. --Tami Horiuchi

 my kids love Bolt March 12, 2010
M. Tiedemann (Ann Arbor, MI USA)
It's been a long time since we've cared for an animated Disney film (we've big Pixar fans), but there is something about this dog and his friend Penny that really gets my kids (ages 2 and 4). They love Bolt, they love Rhino the hamster, and they love to play "Penny and Bolt," which involves them running around in circles, calling each other 'Penny' and 'Bolt.' After checking this out of the library many a time, I finally broke down and bought a copy. It's a cute film, and Rhino really steals the show.
 Great movie, great condition! March 2, 2010
Christopher Bucko
I heard thru a friend how great this movie is for kids, and he was right! The seller's condition rating was spot on.
Bolt, the movie February 17, 2010

It was a really cute movie. It came quickly and was at a reasonable price.
A Great Movie for Kids February 15, 2010
John F. Rooney
"Bolt," brilliantly animated and spectacular in Blu-Ray, has an intriguing premise. Bolt is the wonder TV dog that performs outstanding physical and mental feats in order to protect his "person," his owner, young Penny. The hook for the film is a long section of action footage in which Bolt and Penny are doing super-hero work against the evil Dr. Calico. Bolt is isolated from the real world, locked in his studio trailer, and doesn't realize he's acting, the stunts are faked, and he's just an ordinary dog who deeply loves his mistress and will do anything for her.
Bolt gets inadvertently shipped to New York from Hollywood. In New York Bolt encounters an extortionist cat named Mittens whom he ties up and takes with him on his cross-country trip. He befriends a hamster named Rhino, but what is the rodent doing in a plastic sphere?
The movie has its slow parts particularly Bolt's gradual realization of his ordinariness. It's a journey to self-awareness. A thunderbolt had been painted on his flank, and he discovers that it's just paint.
Most animated films seem to have a didactic quality, preaching lessons of inspiration to children, building up their egos, making them more open to loving others and themselves. On his way back across country, what Bolt learns from his friend Mittens: love conquers all, and despite his lack of super powers, he still has to fight to get back to his Penny and never give up his sense of self-worth just because he isn't a super dog. Better to be a real dog than a fake TV dog.
John Travolta's voice is perfect for the part of Bolt--very believable, sincere, and earnest. Penny's chunky mother and the greedy agent add to the story line. A lot of background stuff about moviemaking is well-done.
It's a great movie for kids. There's no inappropriate adult humor, and dogs nosing around each other shouldn't be offensive.
