Nell Minow Movie Mom Rated: B Feb 18, 2012 Full Review Edward Porter Times (UK) The jokes aren't a match for Pixar's best, and there's too much sentimentality (as if Lasseter were determined to keep Disney's cartoons just that little bit less cool than Pixar's), but this is still an above-average children's film. Rated: 3/5 Feb 12, 2009 Full Review Anthony Quinn Independent (UK) The plot is sentimental fluff. But this has energy and invention enough to keep Lasseter top of the heap. Rated: 3/5 Feb 10, 2009 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Clearly, Disney animators have taken a few notes from their Pixar pals. Rated: 3/4 Mar 7, 2024 Full Review Carson Timar ButteredPopcorn Bolt is one of the rare modern Disney films where everything truly comes together. Even with a simpler concept and a distractingly rough first joke, the film quickly pulls itself together to deliver a heartfelt and worthy viewing experience. Dec 7, 2023 Full Review Richard Crouse Richard Crouse Despite its treatment of cats as the Rodney Dangerfield of the animal kingdom - they just can't get no respect - is solid entertainment for the whole family. Rated: 3.5/5 Jan 31, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews
