It was directed by Chris Williams and Byron Howard, written by Williams and Dan Fogelman, and features the voices of John Travolta and Miley Cyrus. The film's plot centers on a dog named Bolt (Travolta), who has spent his entire life on the set of a television series and firmly believes that he has superpowers.

The film received positive reviews from critics and grossed $310 million against a $150 million budget. It is regarded as helping to instigate a rebirth of Walt Disney Animation Studios, setting the studio in a new creative direction that led to other critically acclaimed features such as Tangled (2010) and Frozen (2013). The film was nominated for several awards, including the Academy Award and the Golden Globe for Best Animated Feature, and Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
