If there are two constant loves in my life, they are dogs and Pixar movies. So really, how could I go wrong with "Bolt"? John Travolta provides the voice of the title pooch, a TV-action animal star who, with no clue he's just a normal dog, tries to use his superpowers to travel cross-country to save "his person," Penny (voiced by Miley Cyrus). He joins forces with Mittens, a cynical alley cat shaking down Goodfella penguins for scraps, and Rhino, a plastic ball-bound hamster who idolizes and emulates Bolt's TV persona. In somewhat predictable but nonetheless enjoyable fashion, the journey across the country (guided by a map from the "Houses of Waffles") becomes a journey of self-discovery for all three pets. "Bolt" is definitely a movie I would take my younger cousins to see, not just because they'd enjoy it, but because it would give me an excuse to see it again.
