Bolt (voiced by John Travolta) is the star of the biggest show in Hollywood. The only problem is, he thinks the whole thing is real. When the super dog is accidentally shipped to New York City and separated from Penny (voiced by Miley Cyrus), his beloved co-star and owner, Bolt springs into action to find his way home. Together with his hilarious new sidekicks Rhino (voiced by Mark Walton) – Bolt’s #1 Fan – and a street-smart cat named Mittens(voiced by Susie Essman), Bolt sets off on an amazing journey where he discovers he doesn’t need super powers to be a hero.

A Great Movie for Kids
"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.

Bolt
Item description stated this item was new, when I recieved the DVD, the case was cracked, it had been poorly rewrapped and there were pen scribblings on the wrapping. When I sent the DVD back, I was promised a full refund, but never recieved it.

Funny Family Film
This is a really funny family film. The humor is clean and child-friendly (how many movies can say that?) There is a scary bit with some fierce dogs, but the good guys pull through for each other. Other reviews tell the story, so I'll skip that part. If your child(ren) like pets, they'll like this movie. It's very well done: excellent casting, animation is superb, script is good. Young children will enjoy it, though they may not get the whole story. Older children (preteens and young teens) enjoy it as well, because it's so funny. The target group (grade-school age kids) love it. Nothing scary (except the one dog scene), nothing dirty, lots of fun. Adults enjoy watching it with their kids. I recommend it.
