I'll tell you why so serious
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
I love this more than popcorn and I reallyy love popcorn. yasssss bolt slayyyyyyyyyy
I enjoyed this slice of Disney fun. No songs which makes a nice change (although Disney do great music). Travolta does well..it seems he is a better actor behind a microphone than in front of a screen. The beginning of the film is cleverly done and hooks you instantly. Although the rest of the movie does not keep this pace and excitement, it is still a great buddy movie with lovable characters and a decent journey to follow. Bolt definitely shows off some significant leaps in animation with some nice effects on the animals and the environment. Not at Pixar's level of course, but still with a CG sheen that now defines the later Disney films. I particularly loved the pigeons throughout...the characteristics are spot on, as are the little nuances used in the animation. Brilliant.
Lets face it, the early 00s were not kind on Disney. The Renaissance was over, their loyal target audience was in college and thus not interested, Pixar was doing the whole CGI thing way better than them and all in all they seemed to have lost their touch. Until this film. Oh sure, it's still very much like something Pixar would have done and a bit missing on that Disney magic, but it's still a very good film that allowed them to get back on their feet.And when I say it's something Pixar would have done, I mean that in a good way. Kind of. The plot features a dog, raised to believe he has genuine superpowers, suddenly being separated from his loyal owner Penny and now having to make his way back across USA to reunite with her. All the while having to learn that the world does not in fact play by his rules. Sounds like a Pixar movie, doesn't it. But then again, Pixar is a great film studio so that's not exactly an insult.And the story and the characters are very good in their own right. Bolt, the eponymous main character, is very gruff and no-nonsense, but also delightfully naïve about the realities of the world, while Mittens, his new cat sidekick/helper/kidnap victim is pretty much the exact opposite. And then there is Rhino, a hamster trapped in a plastic ball and also one of Bolt's biggest fans. Rhino is awesome.And yeah, it's kind of silly that I keep complaining about the fact that it's so much a Pixar film. It does make it seem a bit artificial in a way, because you know that they're copying much of their good material. But it's a good film, when all is said and done. Do see it, if you have the chance, is what I'm saying.
It is a good cartoon titled Bolt is able to please not only the young fans of cartoons from Disney, but also will be a perfect pastime for their older brothers and sisters and parents. After all, the good Disney cartoons are eternal and always please their audience. Excellent proof of this - Adventures of Bolt and his friends. Cartoon somewhat naive because of its main character, but it just adds to it the atmosphere of joy and warmth, was the confirmation of this nomination cartoon for "Oscar" as the best animated film. He himself tells the story of a very good PSE, which is an actor and plays the role of a dog with superpowers. All anything, that's only the Bolt has no idea that his life - it's just a role he believes with all his heart that it is his reality. Therefore, once in the city alone, the dog is faced with great difficulties, and the situation begins to seem hopeless is to help him not get new friends. But can spend Bolt's friendship through all the trials to the cherished goal, which ever seem so far away.
