The story is somewhat predictable, but it's sweet and happy and the animation is first-rate.

Bolt is by no means a dog of a film, but he does not teach any fresh tricks to an ancient genre either.
It's a fish-out - of-water tale, if the fish were a dog actor raised to think that he's a superhero who suddenly discovers himself without his power, and the water was the way he's compelled to move from New York to Los Angeles.John Travolta gives a good vocal performance as the title dog, Miley Cyrus does the same as Bolt's co-star (the two sing a duet over the closing credits), and Mark Walton gives a lot of laughs as Rhino, a television-obsessed, overweight hamster (one likely has to do with the other).
The tale is predictable somewhat, but it's nice and happy and first-rate animation.It's the first feature since John Lasseter took over the creative doings at Disney Animation from Pixar's genius-in-residence, and although it works at kid level, it doesn't give the layers of pleasure and wonder that the finest offer from Pixar.
