Bolt is Boring

Yes. I know. Talking animals. I understand that it is not real. But I still can't buy the stupid premise of this movie which totally killed it all for me. Maybe it's because I understand how a movie/TV show is made. Maybe it's because they take every chance to shatter my disbelief ("18-39 year old demographics"? They don't fucking believe in a magic goddamn dog ANYWAY!). Maybe it's because I saw some of the early version of Bolt art when it was still looking like Lilo & Stitch's sweet-ass style. But I could not dig this movie.

I'm sure it's fine for kids who don't question anything, and again, I understand the silliness of accepting talking animals but not the McGuffin for the story, but still. Every human was a stereotype and unfunny. The action is good, but the whole time I was thinking how much better The Incredibles was. Sooooo much better. The art style is generic CG flick with no pizzaz.

This is another one of those times where I am so glad I don't have kids just so I don't have to endure these kinds of movies over and over and over and over and over and...
