• Positive Review Quotes

  • "Because Bolt understands how to be funny - keep an eye out for some screenwriting pigeons - these pint-sized life lessons go down really easily, the way they did during the golden age of Disney. It's nice to have a whiff of Walt with us again."—Los Angeles TimesLA Times: Review: Bolt (November 21, 2008)

  • "Disney animation takes a tentative step out of the shadows of Pixar with Bolt, a winning 3D-animated action-comedy that marries the best Disney traditions with Pixar polish. Bolt may be more verbal than your typical Disney 'toon, but it's a comedy with the patience to let a slow-burn gag pay off."—Orlando SentinelOrlando Sentinel: Movie Review: Bolt (November 19, 2008)

• Negative Review Quotes

  • "Bolt, about the canine star of a TV series who believes he has real superpowers, never quite gets off the ground. It's weighed down with tiresome jokes about venal Hollywood agents. Kids won't get it, and adults have heard it all before."—Washington Post Washington Post: Family Filmgoer: Bolt Review (November 21, 2008)

  • "If there's anything that stands out in Bolt it's the hilarious and occasionally moving performance by Essman, who makes Mittens as fully complete and compelling a character as WALL-E or Dory the forgetful fish from Finding Nemo (Travolta and Cyrus are urged to keep their day jobs.)"—MSNBCMSNBC: Bolt Tells a Familiar Hero's Tale (November 18, 2008)
