Movie: Bolt (PG, DVD Release Date: Mar 24, 2009)
Duration: 96 minutes
Rating: ***1/2
When I saw the previews for this movie I was looking forward to seeing if Disney could still actually make a movie worth watching without the help of Pixar. Lately the only animated Disney movies worth taking the time to watch have been the ones done by Disney-Pixar (Wall-E being the most recent). This movie has brought them out of their rut and hopefully has set them up for more good movies to come. Bolt (voiced by John Travolta) is a story about a TV series dog with super powers that he uses to save his owner Penny (voiced by Miley Cyrus). When one of the shows ends with Penny being held captive by the Green-Eyed Man, Bolt sets out to save her. Along the way he has several misadventures with his captive Mittens and sidekick Rhino (voiced by Susie Essman and Mark Walton, respectively). The animation of the movie is excellent and the sound is never out of que. The plot is as predictable as ever until you reach the end where you will not be able to guess what will happen. The storyline of Bolt definitely has some originality to it, but as in all movies there are the little bits thrown in that the viewer can see coming a mile away. Kids will love Bolt because of the cuteness of the main character. Parents will be able to endure the countless times they will be forced to watch it by their kids because it has some feel-good parts like a good kids movie should.
