Disney Bolt Interviews and Reviews

Posted by Dominic von Riedemann Nov 12, 2008

I've recently been in touch with Walt Disney's marketing team, discussing coverage for their upcoming CG animated film Bolt. It's directed by Chris Williams and Byron Howard, and stars John Travolta (Pulp Fiction) and Miley Cyrus (Hannah Montana).

As part of the promo for the upcoming flick, we'll be offering a couple of animation tidbits that will only appear on Suite 101.

- There will be an exclusive interview with Mark Empey, the CG supervisor for the flick. Mark's been with the Mouse House since the mid-1990's, and has worked on such animated flicks as 1997's Hercules, 2000's Dinosaur, and 2007's Meet the Robinsons.

- I will also interview voice actors Susie Essman (better known as Susie Greene from Curb Your Enthusiasm) and Mark Walton (Loosey Goosey from Chicken Little). Essman voices the world-weary cat Mittens, and Walton is the fanboy hamster Rhino. Walton also works as a storyboard artist with the Mouse House.

By the way, my review of the movie will not appear in this space until its release date (November 21st): Disney requests that writers don't publish reviews of their films until the day it opens in theatres.

I hope you enjoy.

Cheers,

Dominic
