Bolt
- Title: Bolt

“Now I’m concerned on a number of levels.”
It’s been quite awhile since I’ve used the word impressed to describe a Disney animated film. Bolt proves two things: 1) Disney bringing Pixar into the fold was a very smart move and is starting to bear fruit, and 2) the Magic Kingdom may still have a little fairy dust left after all. Bolt is one of the most pleasant surprises of the year.
Bolt (John Travolta) is a super-dog whose powers include laserbeams which shoot out of his eyes and a super-bark which can take out an entire army of Dr. Calico’s (Malcom McDowell) evil agents. There’s just one thing, none of it is real.
Bolt is the star of a television show and believes the special effects done during the scenes are his own doing. When the script calls for his owner Penny (Miley Cyrus) to be abducted Bolt breaks out of the studio and finds himself in a world which he is ill-prepared for.

The latest from writer/director 
Sometimes I think the best job in the world would be as a writer for video games. The plots don’t have to make sense, you don’t have to worry about logic or character development and the story is always a distant third to gameplay and effects. If this is true then the hardest job around just might be the guy who has to take the nonsensical storyline of a video game and attempt to turn it into a feature film. The result, more often than not, is something like Max Payne
