Bolt is the title of a new Disney Animation movie directed by Chris Williams, the man behind The Emperor’s New Groove and Mulan.

Bolt is a famous television dog who’s got everything he wants in Hollywood. He lives on the set of his television show “American Dog” in which he plays the role of a superdog. Together with the twelve year old Penny he fights criminality. With his superpowers Bolt can for example freeze the criminals with one bark.

However Bolt has got one big problem: nobody has ever told him that he is not really a superdog. The walls where he jumps through on the set are made of cardboard and Penny is just an actress who gets paid to be his best friend. When everyone goes home in the evening, Bolt stays in his known world on the set.

Until one day the dog, by a clumsy mistake, finds himself in a UPS box with destination New York. That far away from home Bolt decides to find his way back using his superpowers. The superhero clearly needs some help to reach his destination. Luckily he meets Mr. Kittens and the hamster Rino, a big fan of his tv-show ”American Dog”. On the road Bolt soon realises his superpowers aren’t that super after all…(Source: Jim Hill)
