Bolt

The canine twist to The Truman Show, Bolt is a dog who is an action hero who doesn't know that he's simply a character in a TV series. That is, until his Girl is kidnapped and he escapes from the set to find her.

The mechanics of the movie are fantastic-- sharp CGI, excellent voice actors, engaging characters. The action sequence in the beginning scared my 3 year old, in fact she spent most of the movie in my lap with her face buried in my chest. The rest of the kids absolutely loved this movie- it was fun even for the teens.

We appreciated that it had absolutely no foul language or sexual content. Although the action sequences tended to be more violent than little ones can handle, they captivated the rest of us. The story moved at a good pace, and the plot was not altogether predictable. This is one we would purchase and keep around.
