Ostensibly a funny animated film about a dog who thinks he has superpowers, Bolt is also a movie about friendship, perseverance, and the power of believing in oneself. Everyone knows that superheroes on television are not real, but TV star super dog Bolt (John Travolta) is a canine star who was carefully raised to believe that he really possesses superpowers. In true loyal canine style, Bolt is completely devoted to his human co-star Penny (Miley Cyrus). When Penny is captured by the evil Dr. Calico (Malcolm McDowell) in their latest television episode and Bolt gets accidentally let loose in the real world, he sets off on a journey to save her. Bolt is confounded when his super powers are suddenly ineffective, but inspiration strikes and Bolt quickly discovers the mysterious, power-stealing effects of Styrofoam packing peanuts. An encounter with alley cat Mittens (Susie Essman) gives Bolt some eye-opening lessons about being a real dog in the real world, while star-struck, ball-enclosed hamster Rhino (Mark Walton) revels in the opportunity to serve as Bolt's sidekick in the quest to rescue Penny. The trio traverses the United States from waffle house to waffle house on a hysterical quest to find Penny and prove that the relationship between Penny and Bolt is real. In the end, Bolt, Mittens, and Rhino learn that everyone is special in their own way and they discover the true power of believing in oneself and one's friends. Selected cinemas showed Bolt in 3-D, but the film is probably equally enjoyable in the traditional format. A fun film with a nice message and a huge dose of cute, Bolt is good entertainment for the entire family. --Tami Horiuchi

Feels like fine Pixar film.
Clean and funny for the kids, with no annoying moments. It isn't Pixar, while it feels more sincere than the average Disney film. Bolt is simply an excellent movie.

Beware of Region Code
I bought this movie as a birthday gift for a young friend. I am a huge fan of the movie and knew he would love it. It was a few weeks before I saw him again, and when I asked how he liked the movie, I got a funny look from his mother. She finally explained that it would not play on their DVD player and that there was a Region Code error message. So I logged back into Amazon and pulled up my order. There was a note in the posting about the Region Code that I had not seen before. I don't know if I missed it or if it was added after I purchased the movie, but what a disappointment! Please make sure you have a DVD player that will play the Region 2/PAL format before buying this movie. I was so embarrassed that my gift was such a disaster :(

Worthless
I opened the package and found this sticker saying the dvd was not formatted to play in the US. No where was this mentioned in the description when I purchased it. Now I have to take the time and return it. I should have read the customer reviews but who should have to do that when buying a new dvd?
