Plot

Bolt is the star of the biggest show in Hollywood. The only problem is, he thinks it's real. After he's accidentally shipped to New York City and separated from Penny, his beloved co-star and owner, Bolt must harness all his "super powers" to find a way home.

Sinekatalog’s take

A TV-star dog who believes his superpowers are real discovers the plain, scruffy world outside the studio. The premise gives the film cheerful self-mockery, and a pragmatic alley cat and a starstruck hamster steal every scene. Modest in ambition, but sweet and funny throughout.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
