BLU-RAY REVIEW: Bolt
With their sharp lines and rich colours, animated movies often shine on higher resolution formats, but the Blu-ray performance of Bolt is particularly outstanding. Even without the 3D effects it featured in certain cinemas, the film still retains an astonishing sense of depth, with camera moving deep into the shots through some amazing lighting and reflection effects.
The film itself is almost as winning as its presentation, suffering only from a touch of Disney sentimentality where you might have hoped for Pixar sharpness. Nevertheless, the gags range from simple slapstick through to some fairly sophisticated references, making the film funny for all ages, and the disc itself is packed with featurettes, art galleries and interactive games.
