Bakpoh Movie Review --> Bolt

This christmas eve, i managed to catch Bolt......it was almost be-awesome(watch the movie and you'll get wad i mean!). Quite a good movie by my standards....


As usual, some movie facts:

Title: Bolt

Directed by: Byron Howard & Chris Williams

Main Cast:
John Travolta(Wild Hogs) as Bolt
Miley Cyrus(Hannah Montana) as Penny
Susie Essman as Mittens

Movie Runtime: 96 minutes

Rating: PG (It's a cartoon)

The Plot:
The movie centers around Bolt, a canine movie star who actually believes he has superpowers. One day while filming his tv show, Bolt witnesses his owner, Penny get kidnapped by bad guys. Not knowing that the kidnapping was part of the filming process of the tv show, Bolt sets out to look for his owner. On the way, he teams up with scrawny alley cat and an over-enthusiastic hamster in a plastic ball. On their journey to find Penny....hilarity ensues.....

My Thoughts:
When Disney and Pixar collaborates, they make decent movies, and this is no exception. I have no idea why this movie made less money at the box office compared to Madagascar 2. Its much better story wise and also as funny as Madagascar 2.
By combining a delusional dog, a street-wise alley cat and an overwight hamster....you get bucket loads of fun and laughter. Rhino the hamster has got to be the nuttiest hamster to hit the big screens...the guy totally cracks me up. Besides all the fun and laughs, this movie also has a touching story to boot.....Animation and voice acting were also flawless by the way...

My favourite movie character, the totally insane Rhino

The bottom line: Buy the tickets, bring your friends, girlfriend, your whole family, sit back and prepare yourself for non stop laughs. This is how a great family movie should be! Well done Disney & Pixar!

Bakpoh Rating: A be-awesome 9 out of 10!
