The Director

The Director is the secondary antagonist of Disney's 2008 animated feature film Bolt. He is the director of the Bolt TV show and is determined to prevent Bolt from finding out that he is not really a super dog in order to get more emotion out of him. 
==Role in the film==
When reviewing footage of the latest take for an episode, he is dismayed when he discovers a boom mic in one shot, ranting that Bolt could have seen that. When Mindy Parker "from the network" arrives, he discusses his vision of Bolt as a tool of expressing emotion, believing that if Bolt believes that everything he does is real, so does the audience. Mindy is more concerned with the rating points and complains that the show is too predictable with Penny being in danger and Bolt saving her from Dr. Calico. She warns him that if the show loses at least half a rating point, she will fire the show's entire crew, starting with the Director. In fear of being fired, the Director and the film crew decide to create a cliff-hanger episode to boost up the TV show's ratings, consequently leading to Bolt escaping from the trailer after believing that Calico captured Penny. While Bolt goes missing, a replacement dog is sent to fill in for the real Bolt.
Following a nasty fire in the studio, his ultimate fate is left unknown. But it can be assumed that he most likely escaped but without Penny, he would presumably loose all of the audience plus after she was replaced with a new teenage actress and subsequently got fired or continued to work as director of the studio.
==Personality==
The Director is quite melodramatic and paranoid. He is also quite careless and greedy as he did not want Bolt to discover the truth about himself and when he goes missing the Director tries to do the same thing to a new dog.
==Trivia==
* Despite being an antagonist, the Director doesn't show any villainous actions towards Penny or Bolt, as he wants to keep Bolt isolated from the real world and still wants Penny to believe that she will be rescued by Bolt in the next episode, even if Bolt himself gets lost in the real world.
*His real name is unknown and is never revealed in the movie, as he is just referred as "The Director".
