Bolt’s a dog with superpowers, or so he thinks. Along with the cat and gerbil he befriends, he sets out on an adventure in 3-D to find his “person,” as he would describe it.
“Bolt” the movie incorporates plots that have previously been on the big screen, such as “The Truman Show” starring Jim Carrey. “The Truman Show” is about a man who grew up in a controlled television studio. His life is scripted, filmed, and broadcast as a television sitcom, and he thinks all the other actors and sets are real.
In this computer animated tale, Bolt (voiced by John Travolta) is much like Truman. The super dog Bolt is made to believe that all of his super powers are real. Bolt protects his person Penny (voiced by Disney Queen Miley Cyrus) who plays along to lead Bolt to believe that he is actually a superhero.
In order to increase viewer ratings, Bolt becomes separated from Penny for a “to be continued” special episode. However, before the second part of the cliff-hanger episode can be film, the super dog somehow ends up inside a box bound for New York City. Upon arrival, an array of events takes place that provide the twists, turns and action to fill a feature film.
