It was nice to see a kid film that didn't revolve around death, too.
The animation was not bad, but not notable either. The soundtrack was cheesy. The voice acting was well done, though I had a hard time separating John Travolta's rendition of Bolt. And let it just be a matter of record, I feel confident that this will be Miley Cyrus' finest acting moment. Mark Walton, Greg Germann and Susie Essman added quite a bit and were excellent choices, while Malcolm McDowell and James Lipton didn't bring much to the production (no fault of their own).
We get uncomfortable when animals are in peril, especially dogs. This is one of those films. You know that it's going to all work out in the end, but we cringe all the way through. It takes a little fun out of the movie for us, but didn't ruin Bolt.
A fun movie for all ages, but nothing terribly special.
Loved this movie. Without knowing anything about the film when I saw it, I thought it was going to be about the "superhero" dog. Why is it that the animated movies seem to be better than the regular ones.
