The story is about Bolt, a white German Shepherd who has lived all his life on the set of a TV show in which he portrays a superhero dog, and as a result thinks that his superpowers are real. Later, he gets accidentally separated from the studio. He then meets a female cat named Mittens and a hamster who never leaves his exercise ball, and eventually he discovers that all of his powers are fake. It stars the voices of John Travolta, Miley Cyrus, Malcolm McDowell, Claire Holt, Diedrich Bader, Nick Swardson, Greg Germann, Susie Essman and Mark Walton. The score will be composed by John Powell.A trailer for the film was released on June 27, 2008, attached to almost all prints of WALL-E.Bolt PlotFor super-dog Bolt (John Travolta), every day is filled with adventure, danger and intrigue -- at least until the cameras stop rolling. When the star of a hit TV show is accidentally shipped from his Hollywood soundstage to New York City, he begins his biggest adventure yet -- a cross-country journey through the real world to get back to his owner and co-star, Penny (Miley Cyrus). Armed only with the delusions that all his amazing feats and powers are real, and the help of two unlikely traveling companions -- a jaded, abandoned housecat named Mittens (Susie Essman) and a TV-obsessed hamster named Rhino (Mark Walton) -- Bolt discovers he doesn't need superpowers to be a hero.Bolt ProductionThe film was originally titled "American Dog", and was originally to be written and directed by Chris Sanders (director of Lilo & Stitch), but he has since left the project and been replaced by Chris Williams and Byron Howard. The film's previous plot told the story of a dog named Henry, a famous TV star, who one day finds himself stranded in the Nevada desert with a testy, one-eyed cat and an oversized, radioactive rabbit who are themselves searching for new homes, all the while believing he is still on television.In 2006, after becoming Chief Creative Officer at Disney, John Lasseter along with other directors from Pixar and Disney viewed a couple of early cuts of the film and gave Chris Sanders notes on how to improve the story. According to Lasseter, Chris Sanders was replaced because Sanders resisted the changes that Lasseter and the other directors had suggested. Lasseter was quoted as saying "Chris Sanders is extremely talented, but he couldn't take it to the place it had to be."On June 8, 2007, Disney announced that the film, now under its current name, is planned to be released on November 21, 2008 in Disney Digital 3-D.Much of the original graphic style of the movie was inspired by the work of Edward Hopper, and (as in Rapunzel) new technology in non-photorealistic rendering (NPR) will to be used to give it a special visual appearance. To give the movie's 3D backgrounds a hand-painted look, the company artists used new patented technology designed specifically for the movie.Bolt Voice castCast Role John Travolta Bolt Miley Cyrus Penny Chloë Moretz Young Penny Susie Essman Mittens Malcolm McDowell Diedrich Bader Nick Swardson Mark Walton Rhino Greg Germann James Lipton Kari Wahlgren Mindy The score will be composed by John Powell.Bolt Video GameA video game based on the film is scheduled to be released on November 1, 2008 for Nintendo DS, Wii, PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolt_(film)
