Nominated for two Golden Globe Awards for Best Animated Feature
Film and Best Original Song (“I Thought I Lost You’),
BOLT features the voices of Academy Award® nominee John
Travolta as Bolt, the wonder dog and Miley Cyrus as Penny, his
“person.” The stellar voice cast also includes Susie Essman,
Mark Walton, Malcolm McDowell and James Lipton. BOLT
was also produced by Pixar co-founder and CGI pioneer John
Lasseter (director of Toy Story, A Bug's Life
and Cars).
Bolt (voiced by John Travolta) is the star of the biggest show
in Hollywood. The only problem is, he thinks the whole thing is
real. When the super dog is accidentally shipped to New York
City and separated from Penny (voiced by Miley Cyrus), his
beloved co-star and owner, Bolt springs into action to find his
way home. Together with his hilarious new sidekicks Rhino
(voiced by Mark Walton) – Bolt’s #1 Fan – and a street-smart cat
named Mittens (voiced by Susie Essman), Bolt sets off on an
amazing journey where he discovers he doesn’t need super powers
to be a hero.
