Trailer for Bolt

From Walt Disney Animation Studios comes Bolt, the tale of a superstar TV pup (voiced by John Travolta) who gets plopped in the middle of America with seemingly no way back to the glam and glitz of Hollywood. Thanks to his starring role on a hit television show, Bolt the pooch has become a household name.

From Walt Disney Animation Studios comes Bolt, the tale of a superstar TV pup (voiced by John Travolta) who gets plopped in the middle of America with seemingly no way back to the glam and glitz of Hollywood. Thanks to his starring role on a hit television show, Bolt the pooch has become a household name. But Bolt has bought into his own heroic image, now believing that he really possesses the super-canine powers of his fictional television series. When he's accidentally shipped from Hollywood to New York City, he must rely on the help from his two newfound friends -- an abandoned house cat named Mittens (voiced by Susie Essman) and a television-addicted hamster named Rhino (voice of Mark Walton) -- as he embarks on a cross-country quest to get back to his owner (and co-star), Penny (voice of Miley Cyrus).

  1. Positive review
    Edward Porter, Times [UK] The jokes aren't a match for Pixar's best, and there's too much sentimentality (as if Lasseter were determined to keep Disney's cartoons just that little bit less cool than Pixar's), but this is still an above-average children's film. Full review External link
  2. Positive review
    Peter Bradshaw, Guardian [UK] Tremendously lovable and funny stuff. Full review External link
  3. Positive review
    Tim Robey, Daily Telegraph Wittier by the reel, Bolt is can't-miss family entertainment, and a glad relief from the solemnities of award season. Full review External link
  4. Positive review
    Helen OHara, Empire Magazine The unlikely superhero of this film is the hamster, who brings the funny amid a flurry of weaker gags. But Bolt still has charm - it just won't hit with the adults the way the best animated films can. Full review External link
  5. Positive review
    Wally Hammond, Time Out Disney's first 3D animation, made under new head John Lasseter, is a likeable, dynamic and seductively characterised family entertainment. Full review External link
  6. Positive review
    Anton Bitel, Film4 Its hero may lack any real super bark but this comic cartoon comes with a sharply ironic bite. Full review External link
  7. Positive review
    James Christopher, Times [UK] The fact that the hamster steals the film speaks volumes about the lack of fresh ingredients. Full review External link
  8. Positive review
    Annette Basile, FILMINK (Australia) Bolt combines Pixar smarts with classic Disney storytelling. Full review External link
