Bolt breaks no great new stylistic ground -- and yet it's a sturdy beaut.

What keeps Bolt fresh is an unaffected exuberance, a genuine sense of fun, that is expressed above all through obsessive attention to craft.
At the end of the day, Bolt is a sweet Disney family film.
Bears some telltale signs of Pixar's trademark smarts, but still looks like a mutt compared to the younger company's customary purebreds.
There's a terrific tenderness in Travolta's performance, while Cyrus and company are similarly effective.
Bolt borrows amiably from a host of sources, including "The Incredible Journey," "Lilo and Stitch" and "Toy Story 2."
Taken on its own terms, Bolt the movie certainly makes the cut.
