Connections Edited into Zenimation: Discovery User reviews Review. Top review. A fun action packed Disney adventure. Bolt follows a canine actor known for playing a super hero on a TV show, he is supported from his owner and must find his way back to her, all while believing he truly has super powers.

Bolt is loads of fun! There are lots of creative action scenes, plenty of funny jokes, and even some emotional scenes. Bolt has the makings of a Disney classic, but it does come up a little short of the usual Disney magic. Firstly, the story lacks depth, the story basically tells itself in the first 30 minutes, then fuels the rest with action, comedy and drama.

Secondly Miley Cyrus proved to be an annoying choice for voicing one of the main characters, not only is she an ear-sore, but she struggles to express different emotions vocally, her voice feels fake and just detracts from the overall film.

Luckily there's still plenty good in Bolt, it's definitely a great choice for a family friendly action comedy! FAQ 3. Is 'Bolt' based on a book? Who or what is "Bolt"? Is this a Pixar film? Details Edit. Release date November 21, United States.

United States. Official site. American Dog. Penny notices a rope lying a couple inches away from her, and tells Bolt "zoom zoom". Bolt grabs the other end and starts running, with Penny at the other end, with her coughing getting worse.

Penny can barely stand up and let's go of the rope, stumbling. Bolt runs to her side, and she grabs the rope again. Bolt spots an air vent and pulls her over to it. Bolt claws the vent cover off, and crawls inside it. He barks at Penny to follow him, but notices that she's just laying on the ground.

He crawls out of the vent, and pulls on her sleeve. Penny, very weakly, tells Bolt to go out alone, that she'd be okay. Bolt wriggles himself underneath Penny's arm, and she tells him that he's her good boy and that she loves him. Outside, Penny's mom is frantically looking for her daughter, asking people if they've seen her.

Back inside the building, Penny has fallen unconscious, and Bolt is now very weak. He hears the echoing of sirens and people shouting in the air vent. He whimpers, and it also echoes. He then barks, and it echoes even louder. He then gets an idea. He stands up, having Penny's limp arm that was around Bolt fall to the floor. Bolt puts his front right paw forward, and his right hind leg backwards. He growls, then releases a loud bark into the air vent.

The people outside hear the echo from the vent, and are confused at first. Bolt continues to bark, and the firefighters realize that someone is still in the building. Rhino is highly-excited because he recognizes Bolt's signature Superbark.

The firefighters head towards the vent, and Bolt releases one last weak bark, and he collapses, unconscious, and the screen goes black. Bolt and Penny are still lying on the floor, unconscious, as firefighters open up the vent, finding the two. The screen lights up, and it shows Penny being rolled on a stretcher, slowly waking up. She looks around, seeing the effects of the fire, then she glances to her right and sees a firefighter carrying an unconscious Bolt, but then Bolt twitches his tail, and Penny whispers his name.

Her mother runs up to her, relieved that Penny's okay. The paramedics decide to take Penny to the hospital just in case, and Mittens and Rhino are hiding on the bottom of the stretcher as it is put inside the anbulance. Penny and her mother subsequently quit the show when their agent attempts to exploit the incident for publicity purposes. Penny herself adopts Mittens and Rhino, and moves to a rural home to enjoy a simpler, happy lifestyle with Bolt and her new pets.

The show continues, but with a replacement "Bolt" and "Penny"- "Penny's" new appearance being explained in the show as being serious injuries necessitating her undergoing facial reconstruction surgery- and adopting the alien abduction storyline that the pigeons that had led Bolt back to the studio even Rhino finds this plot unrealistic, and Bolt finds "ridonculous".
