Bolt is a 2008 American computer-animated adventure/action comedy film produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios, and is its 48th animated feature. It is the first film directed by Chris Williams (who previously worked on Mulan and The Emperor's New Groove) and Byron Howard (who previously worked on Lilo & Stitch and Brother Bear). The film stars the voices of John Travolta, Miley Cyrus, Malcolm McDowell, Diedrich Bader, Nick Swardson, Greg Germann, Susie Essman and Mark Walton. The film's plot centers on a small white dog named Bolt who, having spent his entire life on the set of a television series, thinks that he has super powers. When he believes that his human, Penny, has been kidnapped, he sets out on a cross-country journey to "rescue" her.
As with earlier CGI Disney films, such as Chicken Little and Meet the Robinsons, Bolt was also distributed in Disney Digital 3-D in the theaters equipped for it. The movie was nominated for a series of awards, one of which being the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature which was, however, lost to WALL-E.

Just then, 'Dr. Blood' threatens to take over the Earth and 'Bolts', who was jealous of popular 'Blip', teams up with Dr. Blood. Now it is left to 'Blip' to face the challenge of saving the planet and regaining his friend 'Bolts'.

Well she talks like a bullet
And she looks like a goddess
Says she's a traveler
And she knows where she's going
Dresses like a model
Talks like a liar
She sounds like a bimbo
But she thinks like a scholar
*She's got me she's lost me
She's got me on my knees in awe
She took me she shook me
And now I want her all the more
Well I'm talking straight to her
And I know she's not listening
Why the hell do I find her
So damn impressive
She has a bad temper
She likes to have control
The fact I don't understand her
Fascinates me all the more
