Bolt
By
Director: Byron Howard Chris Williams
Stars: John Travolta, Miley Cyrus, Susie Essman
Studio: Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures
The Plot: Bolt (voice of Travolta) is a celebrity dog and the star of a hit TV show where his amazing feats and powers draw big ratings. But when a mail-room mix-up finds him roaming free on the streets of New York City, the wonder dog will have to learn to rely on his actual strengths — as well as his new friends, an abandoned housecat and a starry-eyed hamster — in order to find his way back home to his owner and co-star, Penny (voice of Cyrus).
THE BUZZ: Disney’s latest morality tale sort of sounds heaps better than, say, Beverly Hills Chihuahua, but way less interesting as the Monsters Vs. Aliens teaser trailer that popped up online earlier this week. Hmm, what else to say? Well, Travolta is nowhere near as creepy to look at here than he was in Wild Hogs and Hairspray. Good luck to Ms. Miley Cyrus in her voice-role debut; she might be barely audible among the presence of “Curb Your Enthusiasm” standout Sussie Essman — listen for her to steal as many scenes as she’s in, though she’ll have to keep her language family-friendly here.
