Skip Bond and see Bolt
Posted by mauigem on December 10, 2008
I got the opportunity to see this for FREE (courtesy of my aunt). I am NOT into 3d-animated-cartoon-whatever thing!…. BUT… I was very entertained. Great plot, great animation and the 3D was amazing. Sometimes I felt like Bolt’s head was towering over the audience. Good thing he didn’t drool!
All the characters were great. The pigeons were great comic relief. It’s amazing the amount of detail the animators put in. Watching the way the pigeons moved their heads was entertaining in itself. Rhino and Mittens were also hilarious while having more depth as well. A lot of Rhino’s great lines were in the preview but didn’t exactly play out in the story the way they seemed like they were going to. Even with that, he was hilarious.
Obviously the plot is predictable but it’s a very fun story. We were laughing out loud throughout this movie. I’m looking forward to another good film like this.
Synopsis:
Bolt tells the story of a dog who is convinced that his role as a super dog is reality. When he is ripped from his world of fantasy, and action by his own doing. His own obsession with his owner and keeping her protected from the green eyed man of the television show he works on completely absorbs his life. This takes him to the point of no return when he believes that she has been kidnapped, and he accidentally gets packaged and shipped to New York city in pursuit of his owner. This is when the story unfolds, and he goes through a transitional period where he learns that he is as super as every other dog. His disbelief of his abilities being non existent fuels a lot of different emotional changes, and eventually comes to a reality of who he really is. This all culminates when he finds his owner and reunites with her in the action packed climax of the movie.
