From Bond to Bolt and I say that because the opening sequence almost outdoes a Bond opening sequence. Bolt is ok - pretty standard for a CGI cartoon nowadays. Predictable message, predictably poignant moments, predictable revelations and plot developments, predictable deus ex machina which was totally foreshadowed. The Truman Show meets that movie about the animals traveling across America to get home (can't remember the title for the life of me). Travolta and Cyrus are surprisingly unimpressive as voice actors, especially Cyrus because in Hannah, she has an exuberant voice. I couldn't get over how much it was like our Macbeth menagerie. Bolt looked like our pom when shaved. Mittens looked like our cat. Rhino was a rodent, completely unlike our rabbit, but it takes three to make a family. I thought Rhino was going to be funnier, and while he is funny, Mittens was more amusing, as were the pigeons. It's not something DOOMers need to see, but I'll be interested in HK's take on it as a fellow parent and CGI maestro. T liked it.
