It isn't easy being a superoog, as the little American white shepherd dog with the black lightning bolt on his side discovers in Bolt, Disney's latest animated film. Bolt, the dog, stars in an action-packed TV show, and the CG feature opens with an amazing chase scene. Bolt leaps through the air, stops the bad guys in their tracks with his superbark, and, most important, rescues his co-star, Penny, from the green-eyed villain. Then, it's over. The director yells, "Cut," the crew takes Bolt back to his trailer, and Penny goes home. The production crew, we learn, wants little Bolt to believe he really does have superpowers; they won't let him live a dog's life with Penny. And, he does believe. So, when a series of mishaps put him outside the trailer where he spots the green-eyed man, he believes the villain has kidnapped Penny again. He races to her rescue, only to land in the back of a truck heading for New York City. And that's when Bolt's real adventure begins.
