Some dynamics are annoying, yet it is a considerable effort.

Rating: 7/10 (23 November 2019)

Bolt is a film of wonderful high quality visuals and an entertaining story that doesn't fail to captivate even the most uninterested viewer out there.
Although met with flaws, it is a pleasant ride that ultimately delivers an entertaining product. Particularly I find sometimes tiring and must add eye-rolling to see the typical boring way to portray dogs as good and cat as evil or mischeavous; it's been done to death, it can frankly be a bit tedious to insist on that absurd rivalry. Nowadays you don't really see that kind of repetitive dynamic recklessly thrown into a movie plot, fresh ideas were desperately needed in order to turn around animated films depicting animals as characters. Luckily animated films have come a long way since movies like Bolt and of course there were a few at the time that pursued other interests as well.
Having said that, Bolt still managed to feel pleasing to watch on an undemanding afternoon.
