Disney has supplied us with the US trailer for Bolt, the first non-Pixar Disney animation produced since John Lasseter took over as Grand Poobah of Animation at the studio. Click the image below to watch it. Bolt tells the story a dog who plays a heroic pup in a hit TV show and has some trouble recognising that he is in fact not possessed of extraordinary powers beyond the ability to lick his own nether regions. This becomes something of a hindrance when he is accidentally shipped from Hollywood to New York City. From there he has to make his way home with only the help of a manky old cat and an overweight hamster in a plastic ball. John Travolta, Miley Cyrus, Susie Essman and Mark Walton provide voices. Our editor, Mark Dinning, saw some early footage of the film in New York earlier this year and said it had a lot of wit and definite comparisons to Toy Story in the relationships between the main characters, which sounds promising indeed. If all Disney animation can hit the same quality of Pixar's output then we could see the studio return to a new golden age. So what do you think? Bolt is released in the US on November 26 and in the UK on February 13. Click the image to view the trailer

RE:
Whilst the visuals are superb, it's pretty unoriginal of Disney to repeat the Buzz Lightyear arc and stick the Goodfeathers in there to boot. Looks watchable, though I'd preferred them to have made n Dog l's said and done. ... Read More Dirty Hartigan About me
