Review: Bolt
Rating: ***
Nonna's Rating: $$$
Rotten Tomatoes: 85%
Bolt is the perfect animated feature for children AND adults. Children love Kung Fu Panda, but animated martial arts don't hold my attention for long. On the other hand, Wall-E delights most adults but is too much in the head for many children and downright frightening to the smallest ones. Bolt isn't one of the great animated films, but it provides for an afternoon of solid entertainment. John Travolta's rendering of the deluded canine is sweet and innocent. Susie Essman as his sidekick, Mittens, provides balance with her worldly cynicism (and added fun for adults). The digital animation is beautiful and the plot, fairly predictable, is nevertheless engaging.
