boltposter1.jpgDisney fans the world over got a taste of the studio's next animated flick, Bolt, when they piled their kids into theaters to see Wall-E this weekend. Now, if you're not paying close attention, you might think that this is another Pixar movie. After all, it's a Disney cartoon, you're seeing the trailer for the first time right before Wall-E, the fish-out-of-water story is a Pixar staple...it's an honest mistake.

Of course, nothing could be further from the truth. Not that Bolt doesn't appear to have its merits, but it's by no means a Pixar film.

Bolt is a famous TV dog who happens to think that the series he's working on is real. So at the end of a shoot, when he sees his young heroine whisked away by bad guys, he sets out to save her. Of course, if a dog were this smart and this resourceful, surely he could understand the concept of cameras and scripts and second and third takes. But I digress.

This actually looks really fun for kids, but it's too early to tell if it's going to be one of those that translates well to adult sensibilities, another marked characteristic of the Pixar catalog. Of which, again, this is not a part.

Bolt will be in theaters November 26th, the day before Thanksgiving.
