We went and saw Bolt yesterday. Some of you may remember me saying I had zero interest in this film after Chris Sanders was removed from the project (To me, Sanders is a great story teller and I love his work).
To be blunt, this is simply the best Disney or Pixar film since The Lion King. it beats out every single Pixar film made (far, far better than the much praised WALL-E), and ranks pretty much even with Lilo and Stich.
I haven't had the heart stings tugged on in a movie for a long time, but this one sure did. My wife blubbered like a baby through most of the film, the scene with Bolt and Penny on the soundstage near the end did her in.
Predictable? Of course, but so what. Nothing beats those “check your brain at the door” movies that hit you with action or emotion.
To me, this is one great movie.:sohappy:
