Nominated for two Golden Globe Awards for Best Animated Feature Film and Best Original Song (�I Thought I Lost You�), BOLT features the voices of Academy Award� nominee John Travolta (nominated for Best Actor in a Leading Role for Pulp Fiction, 1994 and Saturday Night Fever, 1977) as Bolt, the wonder dog and Miley Cyrus (�Hannah Montana�) as Penny, his �person.� The stellar voice cast also includes Susie Essman (�Curb Your Enthusiasm�), Mark Walton, Malcolm McDowell  (�Heroes�) and James Lipton (�Inside the Actor�s Studio�). BOLT was also produced by Pixar co-founder and CGI pioneer John Lasseter (director of Toy Story, A Bug's Life and Cars).

Bolt (voiced by John Travolta) is the star of the biggest show in Hollywood. The only problem is, he thinks the whole thing is real. When the super dog is accidentally shipped to New York City and separated from Penny (voiced by Miley Cyrus), his beloved co-star and owner, Bolt springs into action to find his way home. Together with his hilarious new sidekicks  Rhino (voiced by Mark Walton) � Bolt�s #1 Fan � and a street-smart cat named Mittens (voiced by Susie Essman), Bolt sets off on an amazing journey where he discovers he doesn�t need super powers to be a hero
