Bolt is an exciting computer-animated adventure movie from 2008. It was made by Walt Disney Animation Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures. This film is the 48th movie in the famous Walt Disney Animated Classics series.
The story is about a brave little white dog named Bolt. He stars in a TV show where he believes he has amazing superpowers. He thinks he can shoot lasers from his eyes and has a super bark! But here's the twist: Bolt doesn't know he's on a TV show. He thinks his powers are real.
One day, Bolt believes his human owner, a girl named Penny, has been truly kidnapped. He sets off on a thrilling journey across the country to "rescue" her. Along the way, he discovers that the real world is very different from his TV show. He also learns about friendship and what it means to be a hero without superpowers.
