Funny with a good moral – you can do anything if you put your mind to it.

Bolt is about a dog who is a Hollywood TV star, although he does not know that his life on screen is not real. When he escapes trying to find his beloved owner, Penny, things get a little different when he finds out the hard way that he is just an ordinary dog, with no powers. Bolt tries to get back to Hollywood and on the journey he meets Rhino, a funny and brave hamster. Yes, a hamster! He also encounters Mittens, a sly cat at first but on the way she changes and no longer hates humans. Will Bolt get back home? Will the green-eyed man catch him? What is going to happen?! Watch and find out. I recommend this movie to animal lovers who like cartoons and comedies. Although I enjoyed parts of it, I think it is missing something. It does not really have a plot and some movies (like the old Pink Panthers) do not really have a plot either, but they make up for this by adding lots of hilarious bits and/or action. I think this film was a comedy but it could have benefited from more funny moments to make up for the lack of a real plot.
