New Animation DVDs – March 2009

March 24, 2009

On March 24, 2009, Walt Disney Studios will release Bolt on DVD, Two-Disc DVD and Blu-ray. Bolt (John Travolta) is the star of the biggest show in Hollywood. The only problem is, he thinks the whole thing is real. When the super dog is accidentally shipped to New York City and separated from Penny (Miley Cyrus), his beloved co-star and owner, Bolt springs into action to find his way home. We will keep an eye out for foreign language audio to make it available for you.

Also new to DVD this week is Pinocchio. A comparatively dark and edgy animated film from the early days of Disney Studios, this moralistic fable features a puppet who learns that there is more to being a kid than fun and games. Premiering 70 years ago, the picture also marks the screen debut of one of Disney’s signature characters, the fast-talking, wisecracking Jiminy Cricket. (Disney)
