Bolt is a white (too bad) German Shepherd Dog who is a TV star who ends up running for his life on the road. A lot of people watching this movie, especially children, will receive a lasting impression of the breed. Will white GSD's suddenly become a fad? I think that a thread evaluating Bolt as he is portrayed in the movie would be an interesting theme. Having watched the two trailers I'd have to say that Bolt is of course a cartoon character. His features have been made human which one would expect. I think the animators have watched real GSD's to create Bolt. Watch the two trailers at the link below. Look at the GSD's structure. There is even a short gaiting shot in the extended trailer. Jim Barnhart ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2007.
