• Fish out of Water
• Flying Brick: In the TV show he's the star of, anyway.

• Undying Loyalty: To Penny.

Mittens

• Genre Savvy
• Keet
• The Lancer
• Large Ham
• No Indoor Voice
• Ridiculously Cute Critter
• Rousing Speech: He delivers one that snaps Bolt out of his Heroic BSOD.
• Talking Animal

Penny

• Brown Eyes
• Curtains Match the Window
• Disappeared Dad
• Distressed Damsel: Plays one in the Show Within a Show, then becomes one for real at the climax of the movie.
• Heroes Love Dogs: Isn't this kind of obvious?
• The Other Marty: Was originally going to be voiced by Chloe Moretz, but since she hadn't got her big break yet, and Miley Cyrus would make more money for the film, Moretz's performance was thrown out the window.
• Protectorate: To Bolt.
• Red Is Heroic
• Tights Under Shorts
