Brilliant ‘Bolt’
Imagine a movie filled with comedy, action, drama and adventure, all in one piece? Wouldn't it be such a perfect masterpiece? Well, ‘Bolt’ is exactly that and more! The action-packed animated movie is one I haven’t seen in a while. Although it was released in 2008, I feel as if it still competes with films of 2020, even 12 years later!
The days of canine superstar Bolt, are filled with danger and fascination... Bolt; a super dog (at least in his eyes) fighting against evil and keeping his owner: Penny, as safe as he can.
Except unfortunately for Bolt, his powers are fake. Bolt doesn't know that he's on a TV show; he thinks his amazing powers are real. This shock and realism for Bolt happened at the worst possible time, just as he needed them the most; when Bolt was accidentally shipped from his Hollywood soundstage to the despicable streets of New York. Will he survive the adventure, will he ever see his beloved owner again? I guess you'll have to watch the movie to find out 😏.
Best bits.
Firstly, the animation in this movie is phenomenal, bear in mind it was created in 2008 yet I don’t think that affects the quality of the film whatsoever. Each frame of the film looks crystal clear, and I really like the animation style. The animation style is cartoon-like but not too cartoony. I think the designers and animators did an amazing job creating the characters, especially Bolt. I really like the way he looks; a white German shepherd dog with his famous thunderbolt icon on the side of his body. In fact, the characters and animation were so good that this movie got many awards including: “2008 Academy Award for Best Animated Feature”, a huge achievement indeed!
Secondly, this movie is hilarious! One of its genres is a comedy and rightly so.
Bolt and his friends create a humorous atmosphere, fitting in a joke somewhere or another, so if you like comedy films, then you would want to check this movie out - I sound like an ad at this point, but it's just because the movie is that good.
Finally, speaking of Bolt’s friends, the two sidekicks along Bolt completes the movie for me. Rhino the Hamster and Mittens the cat. Along with Bolt – perfect trio, even though all of them have very different personalities compare to each other. Together they wander around in New York in order to get Bolt back to his home: Hollywood.
So if you could somehow not tell what I thought of this movie from my comments so far well; I loved it. Overall the film was amazing and would love to watch it again sometime. The plot very unique – something I have not seen before, the animation was great and the story was stunning and I would definitely recommend you to watch this film!
