What is Disneyās animated film, āBolt,ā about?
From Pluto to Lady and the Tramp, Disney created a few beloved dogs. One of those dogs was Bolt, featured in the animated film of the same name. This movie told the story of one āsuper dogā who didnāt know the difference between his life on the silver screen and life with his owner, Penny.Ā
Things got even more complicated when this dog went missing and navigated life in the real world. He met a cat named Mittens and a super fan named Rhino. Together, these animals went on an adventure to find Penny.Ā
Miley Cyrus voiced Penny in Disneyās animated film, āBoltā
The character named Penny was voiced by Cyrus, while the title character was voiced by Hairspray actor John Travolta. Together, they appeared on the song āI Thought I Lost You,ā also released in 2008.
This film was nominated for Academy Award for Best Animated Feature, Golden Globe Award for Best Animated Feature Film, and Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song. Around the same time, Cyrus appeared in the Disney Channel original series, Hannah Montana, as the title character.Ā
She recorded songs like āNobodyās Perfect,ā āYouāll Always Find Your Way Back Home,ā and āIāll Always Remember Youā for the series. She then returned for the Disney film, The Hannah Montana Movie, which is now available for streaming on Disney+.Ā
John Lasseter co-produced the Disney and Pixar animated film, āBoltā
Bolt featured actors like Cyrus and Travolta, but there were several minds behind this story. This animated film was produced in part by John Lasseter, who also played a role in creating Disney and Pixar favorites Cars, A Bugās Life, and Toy Story 2.
āThere are so many layers to this movie,ā Lasseter said during an interview with The Disney Blog. āI think people have this expectation that itās a kind of cute movie with talking animals, and then the action stuff surprises them at the beginning, and then they kind of get into it.āĀ
āWhen Rhino shows up, his level of humor is something you havenāt seen before,ā he continued. āAnd the scene that I love is when Mittens is teaching Bolt to be a dog. When they come out of it, thereās a certain feeling you have; like a level of emotion and connection that they have.ā
The Academy Award-nominated film, Bolt, is available on Disneyās streaming platform. To learn more about Disney+ and to subscribe, visit their website.
