we need her alive.

We?

Yes. Bolt, I can be

a valuable addition to your team.

- I'm listening.

- I'm lightning quick.

I have razor sharp reflexes

and I'm a master of stealth.

Plus, I'll keep the cat in check.

- The road will be rough.

- I have a ball.

- There is no turning back.

- I guess I have to roll with the punches.

- Easy won't be a part of the equation.

- Promise.

Gotta warn you, going into the belly

of the beast, danger in every turn.

- I eat danger for breakfast.

- You're hungry?

- Starving.

- Welcome aboard.

Hey, can we talk for a second?

I don't know what's going on here

but I'm just a little bit concerned...

...about the numbers of lunatics

on this trip.

- My limit is one.

- He is coming with us.

But I...

Move it prisoner,

we're losing daylight.

I agree.

Now, we need to find

a fast set of wheels.

I've got a better idea.

Follow me!

Okay, so what we do here is

we give the target a quick fly over...

...we adjust the trajectory and land

dead center. Am I missing anything, Rhino?

Just the knowledge that every minute

spent in your company becomes...

...the new greatest minute of my life!

No, forget it! How do you say,

"No way, I'm doing this" in crazy?

- Calm down, cat. You're with me.

- That's the problem.

Oh, would you be relax?

Every time you get this

on the "magic box", it was awesome!

Magic what?

You know, "magic box",

people stare at.

Wait a minute! Is this "magic box"

have moving pictures on it?

Yeah and Bolt's pictures are the best.

Bolt's pictures?

Of course! He's a former...

Oh, no! Oh, no! No, wait, wait!

Bolt, guys! Hear me out!

- Let it begin! Let it begin! Let it begin!

- Wait, you're not a super he...

What are you doing?

Mittens!

Mittens, take my paw.

I need you alive.

Yeah, of course!

Stay away from me!

- Squeeze my paw, I'll save you!

- No, you won't. You're not really a...

Bolt!

Saboteur!

Ah! Ouch! You moron!

- Stop it! I'm trying to help him.

- Help him? Yeah, right.

Don't worry Bolt!

I'll stop her.

I can't hold it.

- Let it go, you monster!

- Bolt!

The real world hurts, doesn't it?

But you wouldn't know about that, would you?

Get down here cat.

We don't have time for this.

I'll get a ladder.

Look, genius.

You're a part of a TV show.

You know what that is, television?

It's an entertainment for people.

It's fake!

Nothing you think is real as real!

That's has preposterous!

Think about it Bolt. Since you got lost,

none of your powers are working, aren't they?

For the first time

you're hungry, you're bleeding.

I mean, do you really think that

you were born with a birthmark...

...in the exact shape of

a lightning bolt?

It's my mark of power, cat!

It's the mark of

a make-up artist, dog!

You're ridiculous!

Now, get down here!

No.

Mittens, so help me, I will

super bark you out of that tree.

Yeah, go nuts. Let's see

how that works out for you.

You leave me no choice.

Oh, the super bark.

Scary, scary!

Yeah, that's really really super.

It's not true. This is not true.

Wow, that one felt really super.

Wait!

No, it didn't.

Okay, okay. I get the idea,

you can stop now.

That's enough!

Seriously dog, stop! I'm not kidding.

Would you stop?

Okay, fine. You're the super dog.

Bolt, be quiet, please.

Bolt, we gotta run!

- Bolt!

- Come here.

ANIMAL CONTROL OFFICER

LOST DOG - BOL

He is white with a lightning bolt on his side.

REWARD! Please help me get my friend back.

Look who we found young lady!

It's Bolt!

- They found him!

- Bolt!

Isn't that right you little puppy dog?

That is not Bolt.

Well, that depands on

how you look at it.

You know, when I was little,

I want a bicycle for my birthday...

...but my parents got me

a baseball glove. So...

You know what I did? I pretended

that baseball glove was a bicycle.

And I rode it to school every day.

True story.

- It's not him.

- I think it's him. I do.

Thank you.

Look kid, it's time

we are honest with you.

If we don't get back in the production,

people are gonna lose their jobs.

- Good people with families.

- But Bolt is still out there.

- And I...

- I know, we feel for you.

And the last thing we wanna do is ask

a little girl to make a grown up decision.

But it's come to that,

we need you to move on.

We need you to let Bolt go.

It must be made of styrofoam!

No, no! No, no, no!

Please, it can't end like this!

Stop worrying cat.

I'll get us out of here.

You can't, Bolt. You got nothing.

No super strength,

no super bark.

And no heat vision.

Listen to me, okay?

We've been taking to a place...

...where humans go

animal shopping, alright?

And this is what humans do.

They always pick the cute ones.

The ones that look like you, Bolt.

But the rest of us

never come back out.

I said, I'll get us out of here, alright?

My hero!

Ring, ring. Who is it?

Destiny!

I've been expecting your call.

Oh, would you give it up already? You're

liquefying, whatever brains you have left.

I can not be contained

in any container.

You quitter! Watch this!

I did it! I'm back!

That styrofoam is a wicked stuff.

Totally awesome! There is no truck

that I know that can keep Bolt and Rhino!

Rhino, what are you doing here?

Oh, nothing. I was enjoying an evening

stroll and thought that I'd just...

...pop the hatch on hack

that containment unit!

- You... You opened the door?

- Yes, I did.

That's... That's great, Rhino.

Yeah, that's... That's really good.

Alright, let's go get

the prisoner back.

I... I can't do it.

What did you say?

- I can't.

- What... Who are you?

Rhino, you're just...

Just a little...

- You are Bolt.

- But I'm not...

Who single handedly destroyed

the green-eyed man's under sea labs?

Me, but...

And who foiled his plan to infiltrate

the Olympics with gymnastic cyborgs?

- Who, Bolt, who? Who?

- Me, but none of them...

You! You can, Bolt.

Because, all over this planet...

...there are animals

who feel like they can't.

Like a little hamster,

who once spent his days in a RV park.

Dreaming of the day when he too would save

a little girl from danger and be told:

"You did it! You did it, Rhino!

You saved the day."

They need a hero, Bolt!

Someone, who never mind

what the odds, will do what's right.

They need a hero to tell them

that sometimes the impossible...

...can become possible,

if you're awesome!

Well, you're right

about one thing, Rhino.

Mittens does need a hero.

I guess I'll have to do.

Such modesty! Now,

who is going to save that cat?

- Me.

- Who? Tell me who?

Me.

I'll get my ball.

ELMWOOD COUNTY:

ANIMAL SHELTER:

Over there.

There it is.

This will be just like the time, you

infiltrated Calico's R.D. cover base!

It's not gonna be

exactly like that, Rhino.

We're gonna have to do things

a little differently.

Oh, stealth mode!

ADOPT A PET WEEK

- Good night, Ester.

- Good night, Lloyd.

Lloyd?

Lloyd Spoon, you jump out and scare me,

and I'm gonna pepper spray ya again!
