Line #9 Awesome/Bolt


1	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/laser_pup.png]]
2	* The first ten minutes of ''Bolt'' lampshade the entire idea of a 'Crowning Moment of Awesome'.
3	* Bolt's heroic rescue of Penny from the fire.
4	* Rhino gets three-- he delivers two heroic speeches, first to Bolt on the importance of heroes, then to Mittens on the importance of [[ThePowerOfFriendship sticking with one's friends...]] then at the climax he uses his hamster ball to prop up the falling rubble of the studio so Bolt can get past, screaming "[[FacingTheBulletsOneLiner It is a good day to die]]!!!" as his ball starts to crack under the weight...
5	** Also doubles as a SugarWiki/{{Funny Moment\|s}} since even though Rhino has his arms raised, and is straining with the effort as he "holds the door up" the ball is taking the entire load, and he's just standing in the middle of it.
6	*** Mittens comes to rescue him from being crushed. "Not on my watch, rodent!" indeed.
7	** Don't forget the scene in which Rhino, through SuccessThroughInsanity, manages to BLOW UP A PICKUP TRUCK!
8	* The Superbark. The ''real'' Superbark.
9	* Bolt proving that a dog doesn't have to be genetically altered to be a hero.
10	** Mittens runs after Bolt to try to convince him to go home again, telling him that she was wrong and that Penny loves him more than anything. Neither of them realize that the stage has caught on fire, or that Penny is trapped inside. Blocks away, Bolt is silent and looks like he's ignoring Mittens' explanations, and finally this happens:
11	---> '''Bolt:''' Shh!
12	---> '''Mittens:''' No, Bolt, you need to hear this! She-
13	---> '''Bolt:''' No seriously, be quiet!
14	---> '''Mittens:''' (''realizing that he's listening intently to something'') ...What is it?
15	---> '''Bolt:''' (''staring at her in horror'') ''Penny.''
16	* The signature moves from the show? Ten times cooler when used in [[ChekhovsSkill real life.]]
17	** Penny, blinded by smoke, stumbling, can no longer fight the effects of smoke inhalation enough to keep up with Bolt on her own. And then she finds a rope to act as a makeshift leash. Cue:
18	---> '''Penny:''' Bolt...''[[MeaningfulEcho zoom-zoom.]]''
19	** The last-second rescue, as well.
20	*** Penny's character had just minutes ago been calling for the fake Bolt, not expecting him to hear, and the "character" Bolt arrived anyway. Right before Bolt's return, she was coughing and calling helplessly for ''anyone'' to find her...and, just like he always has, ''[[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments Bolt came]]''.
21	** And then, of course...
22	---> '''Rhino:''' ''(whispering in awe)'' It's the ''[[MundaneMadeAwesome Superbark]]!''
23	* It may have been a fake cooked up by a film studio, but the [[SuperScream "full power"]] Super Bark can't be left out. To wit; after being given the command; "Speak", Bolt unleashes a wall of force that turns a [[TheCavalry Cavalry]] consisting of motorcycles, [=SUVs=], and helicopters too numerous to count into a massive debris field full of crumpled metal and battered corpses. See it [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYjNQXYAeik here]].
24	* Bolt, Mittens and Rhino crossed the ''entire United States of America'' by sneaking onto human vehicles. [[CrazyEnoughToWork Using a Waffle House kiddie placemat as a road map]].
25	* [[MamaBear Penny's mom getting sick of the agent when he tries to plan how to use Penny's near death experience for his benefit, tossing the big callous jerk out of the ambulance before slamming the door on him]].
26	-->'''Penny's mom''': [[BondOneLiner We quit!]]\
27	'''Agent''': [[AintTooProudToBeg No, wait! L-L-Let's not make any rash decisions! L-L-Let's put a pin in it!]]\
28	(''Penny's mom slams the ambulance door in the Agent's face'')
29	* The following scene where the TV show goes in a ridiculous direction ([[MakesSenseInContext face make-overs, alien abductions]]) may be PlayedForLaughs, but [[FanBoy Rhino]] [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness turning it off in disgust]] is an indication of how the show won't last long. In their [[{{Greed}} greedy]] (if [[FreudianExcuse desperate]]) attempt to get higher ratings, [[HoistByTheirOwnPetard their actions set off the domino effect]] where they've lost their best stars ''and'' their most faithful audience.
