To the cinema : Bolt

I quite like how the way this movie starts - with an ordinary dog thinking that he has extraordinary powers, but in fact, was all just due to the magic of television.


Then the story took a turn when Bolt got accidentally shipped off, far away from the fantasy Hollywood world that he is living in, and also away from his "person", Penny, whom he loves a lot.


So, as expected, Bolt was anxious to get back to Penny, and along the journey home, met some interesting characters - an abandoned but sarcastic cat, Mittens, and a TV-addict fat hamster, Rhino, which moves around in a ball.


It was also along this journey back to Penny that Bolt realised he was just an ordinary dog, and slowly came to terms with it with the help of Mittens and Rhino.



The quirky personalities of each character was funny and in fact, quite real. You will suddenly find yourself thinking someone around you behaves just like one of them. And the humour not only appeals to the kids, but to adults as well.
