Bolt (2008)


This completes the great year for animation that was 2008. Wall-E, Kung Fu Panda, and now Bolt. It had all the elements of a animated movie, with the heart of a live action flick.

Bolt is a dog who thinks the television show he works on with his owner/co-star Penny is completely real. Through one circumstance, Bolt thinks Penny's kidnapping is real and escapes to go rescue her. This leads him across the country, needing him to find his way back to LA. He takes in two new allies, the best being Rhino, the hamster who also thinks his show is true life. He faces some hard truths and lessons about life.

It was not better than the two animated movies mentioned earlier, but it was definitely worthy of the three spot it got at the Oscars. Whoever plays Rhino needs to get more voiceover work because he was fantastic.
