Clearly, Disney animators have taken a few notes from their Pixar pals.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 7, 2024

Bolt is one of the rare modern Disney films where everything truly comes together. Even with a simpler concept and a distractingly rough first joke, the film quickly pulls itself together to deliver a heartfelt and worthy viewing experience.

Despite its treatment of cats as the Rodney Dangerfield of the animal kingdom - they just can't get no respect - is solid entertainment for the whole family.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jan 31, 2021

A joy from start to finish.

This one's a fun film for the entire family, with little lessons on love and friendship you can carry home with you. Lessons you learn from a dog, a cat and a hamster.

Laughter, heart, action adventure, animation and above all love. So 'bolt" off that couch and "zoom zoom" to the nearest theatre and get struck by BOLT. This is one lightening strike you don't want to miss!

Sharp and witty, with something for audiences of all ages.

| Original Score: B | May 22, 2019

It's perfectly like pleasant to watch but it's very forgettable to me.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Feb 13, 2019

The real appeal of the movie is Bolt himself. The combined talents of the Disney animators and John Travolta's earnest voice-work make for one lovable mutt.

For very young viewers, the story is exceptionally easy to follow, and the vocal cast keep the hammy, hey-listen-to-me! stuff to a minimum.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | May 11, 2018

A film with a great story and something for everyone. [Full review in Spanish]

Restores some faith that there are some creative minds left in animated films that Pixar hasn't added to its talent pool.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Oct 22, 2012

| Original Score: B | Feb 18, 2012

It's sophisticated look is rich with details that are easy to take for granted, but which add immeasurably to the texture and dimension of the scenes.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 28, 2011

The latest generation of animated flicks is a sort of latter-day vaudeville revue. Kiddies who take Bolt to heart may conclude not only that dogs really do have superpowers, but also that everybody's in showbiz.

Wait... an all-star voice cast for a computer-animated story we've never heard of before, and it's watchable, too?

| Original Score: 2.5/4.0 | Apr 8, 2010

A touch slight by Disney standards, but even if it's not high art, it's still warm-and-fuzzy fun.
