Bolt
There are a few movies more forgotten in the current era of Disney than Bolt, and that’s despite it arguably being the movie that brought the company into a new age. Its premise of a superpowered spy dog actor having a fish-out-of-water experience as he breaks containment is a ton of fun, though today it feels a little dated by its early 2000s, Dreamworks-style smarminess. Bolt may not have had the staying power of the movies that would follow it, but we likely wouldn’t have had modern classics like Tangled and Frozen had it not been for Bolt’s story about letting go of a glamorous life for a simple one with the people you love.
