Moviegoers seeing Dsiney/Pixar’s WALL●E this weekend will be treated to the first trailer for Bolt, the upcoming CG-animated family feature from Walt Disney Animation Studios. In addition to running in theaters prior to the main attraction, the trailer can also be seen on the web at www.empireonline.com/video/bolt/.
Bolt tells the story of a canine TV star (voiced by John Travolta) that is inadvertently shipped from Hollywood to New York City. During his cross-country journey home to his owner, Penny (Miley Cyrus), he makes the surprising discovery that his TV super powers don’t work in the real world. He his joined in his adventure by a jaded, abandoned housecat named Mittens (Susie Essman) and a TV-obsessed hamster in a plastic ball named Rhino. The feature is co-directed by Chris Williams and Byron Howard.
Disney will release Bolt on Nov. 26. The movie will be presented in stereoscopic 3-D in select theaters. Disney Interactive Studios is also prepping a video game for release on all major platforms in conjunction with the theatrical debut.
