Background Story

Bolt (voiced by John Travolta) is a White Shepherd dog who lives as the star of a television show called Bolt. In the series, Bolt is a superhero dog who has superpowers, such as the incredibly strong “super bark”, incredible speed, and amazing physical strength. Bolt is possessed by a young girl named Penny (voiced by Miley Cyrus), who in the series ' story is his loyal partner on a mission to save the world from the evil villain, Dr. Calico (disuarakan oleh Malcolm McDowell). However, Bolt does not realize that all his adventures are just part of a television show and that his superpowers are not real.

Beginning Of The Conflict

The story begins when Bolt accidentally separates from Penny after filming one of the show's episodes. Having grown up inside the studio and never knowing the outside world, Bolt truly believes that he is a superhero and that Penny has been kidnapped by Dr. Calico. In a panic, Bolt escapes from the trailer to which he was sent (due to a delivery error) and ends up in New York City, far from Hollywood. Bolt embarks on an epic journey to “save” Penny, unaware that the real world is very different from the world of his television series.

Bolt Travel

In New York, Bolt meets a cynical street cat named Mittens (voiced by Susie Essman). Mittens, initially distrustful of Bolt's stories about his superpowers, is eventually forced to join Bolt's journey after Bolt forces the cat to help him find Penny. Bolt believes that Mittens is Dr. Calico, which adds to the funny yet tense dynamic between the two.

During a trip across the United States, Bolt and Mittens meet Rhino (voiced by Mark Walton), a hamster who is a huge enthusiast and a big fan of television shows Bolt. Rhino, who lives inside his plastic ball, believes that Bolt is a real hero and eagerly joins in their adventure. The Trio face a variety of obstacles, ranging from hunger, the pursuit of animal capture officers, to the challenges of navigating in the real world.

Character Development

Along the way, Bolt begins to realize that his superpowers don't work in the real world. He felt confused and lost confidence, but with the help of Mittens and Rhino, Bolt learned to rely on his courage and natural instincts as an ordinary dog. Mittens, who is initially selfish and distrustful of anyone, begins to open her heart and tells of her past as a pet cat abandoned by her owner. Meanwhile, Rhino provides humor and passion that makes their journey lighter.

On the other hand, the real Penny (not a character in the series) is very sad to lose Bolt. He tries to find his beloved dog, but the producers of the television show attach more importance to the continuation of filming and replace Bolt with another dog, which hits Penny even harder.

Klimaks

Bolt's journey eventually brought him back to Hollywood. There, he sneaks into the studio where the show is being filmed Bolt and seeing Penny acting with a surrogate dog. Bolt initially feels betrayed, but later realizes that Penny truly loves him. At the same time, an accident in the studio causes a fire, and Penny is trapped inside a burning building.

Bolt, who now understands that he is not a superhero but still has a brave heart, risks his life to save Penny. With the help of Mittens and Rhino, Bolt manages to get Penny out of the burning building, showing that true courage does not require superpowers.

Closing

After the dramatic incident, Penny decided to quit the television show that had separated them. He and Bolt move to a simpler life in the countryside, along with Mittens and Rhino, who are now part of their family.
