Description

Meet Bolt: dashing super-hero, loyal companion, star of a fictional television show, dog. This rollicking Disney computer animated film follows Bolt (voiced by John Travolta) on a cross-country adventure as he learns the truth about his supposed super powers - and how friendship is the strongest of them all. "The Art of Bolt" is a beautiful collection of more than 250 pieces of concept art created for the film, including storyboards, digital and pencil sketches, color scripts, maquettes, full-color illustrations, as well as material from the fabled Disney archives. Insightful quotes by the director (who is also writing the Introduction), producer, artists, animators, and the production team contextualize the art, and thoughtful essays explore Disney's past, present, and future in animation.
