Bolt could have been called Toy Story, it has similar themes, or it could have been called A Bugs Life, it shares themes there. It, actually, shares a lot with a wide array of Pixar's movies, which is not surprising; even if Pixar's label is not on it.
It's just Disney. And
The first, oh, 5 to 10 minutes of Bolt were slightly painful for me. I find chase scenes more and more boring every time I see them. Though there was some humor injected into this one, it was still a good 70% longer than it ever should have been.
I thought the movie would be awful. But it does pick up and is a decent, entertaining film, even if it is highly clichéd. And includes some short speeches dripping with pine sap. The truly humorous thing is that this is mentioned early, almost like foreshadowing, making fun of you if you don't like sap. Sap can be good, maple's really good, but this movie does not use it well. At least the music makes up for what the story fails at, and the movie does all right.
It is "Fun".
