Plot Summary: From Walt Disney Pictures comes an animated comedy
adventure featuring a super-dog named Bolt (voice of John Travolta), whose days
are filled with 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 cross-country
journey through the real world to get back to his owner and co-star, Penny
(voice of Miley Cyrus). Armed only with the delusions that all his amazing feats
and powers are real, and the help of two unlikely traveling companions—a jaded,
abandoned housecat named Mittens (voice of Susie Essman) and a TV-obsessed
hamster named Rhino (voice of Mark Walton)—Bolt discovers he doesn't need
superpowers to be a hero

well-crafted Disney Animation movie in years...more

high-octane action series serves as a perverse parody of
Jerry Bruckheimer-style summer blockbusters...more
