Bolt (2008) 7/10

Starring : John Travolta, Miley Cyrus, Susie Essman, Mark Walton, Malcolm McDowell
Director : Byron Howard & Chris Williams
Running Time : 97 mins

In Disney's 48th Animated Classic, a dog named Bolt (Travolta) stars in a science fiction television show where he’s a superhero, and he believes that his powers are real. When he believes that his owner Penny (Cyrus) is in danger, he gets separated from his TV studio and embarks on a journey across the country to save her, with the help of a cat named Mittens (Essman) and a hamster named Rhino (Walton).

For such a great concept, this was really poorly executed. Despite some impressive looking animation, there just isn't any real soul to the characters in this latest Disney offering. I truly wish they'd go back to old style animation - so few companies are doing that it would actually make them stand out from the crowd.
