Excellent Family Movie

Rating: 9/10 (21 December 2008)

I saw this in 3D at the local IMAX and was very impressed with the story and the animation was superb. Seeing it in 3D really added a lot to the experience, although I'm sure it's just as enjoyable seeing it on a regular screen.
The plot summary is Bolt is a dog who is a TV action hero (in Hollywood) who is kept in an artificial environment (similar to "The Truman Show") so that he actually believes he is the super action hero portrayed on the show. When he is lead to believe his owner, Penney, is in trouble, he escapes to try to save her but somehow ends up in New York City. Most of the story is his ordeal of getting back to Hollywood, with various sidekicks he picks up along the way.
This was an excellent Pixar film, as enjoyable as "The Incredibles". Take the family, a date, or see it by yourself. It's a great movie.
