Bolt, the latest Disney family offering, is about a small dog who is convinced he has super powers, since he’s spent his entire life on a television show set. Bolt sets on a cross-country expedition to rescue his “person” Penny, whom he believes has been kidnapped. Along the way, he meets the cat Kittens and the hamster Rhino, who become his sidekicks for the journey.Families looking to spend a night at the movies are faced with the fact that very few family-oriented films are released by the major studios on a yearly basis. Therefore, it is more difficult to be critical of the family-friendly films that do find their way to the local multiplex. Bolt is just fine as fun and harmless family entertainment. There have certainly been more creative and profound animated films released recently, though (see WALL-E and Ratatouille). The voice acting of Miley Cyrus and John Travolta leaves a lot to be desired. The visuals are competent, but not breathtaking in any way. Nevertheless, the animals are cute and there’s enough fun to keep both kids and adults entertained.
