Refreshing - despite being another dog movie

Bolt is endearing. Rhino the hamster is borderline annoying when he's going "over the top", but is still funny. Mittens the cat I'm not so crazy about as a character - she's not supposed to be cute anyway... but I did feel for her when she talked about being abandoned by her human owners.

The funny scenes are undoubtedly those that deal with Bolt's supposed superpowers... or lack of them in the real world.

What really carried this movie though is the heart of the dog who loves his human. This thing is a given in most dog movies, yet Bolt tells us that such stories never go out of style.
