This movie is NOT part of the Disney Revival

While Bolt did get some acclaim, as time went on people realized this was a Truman Show/Homeward Bound knock off and forgettable. What makes a film memorable in a "Strong" period of filmmaking is what is presented. The Disney Revival has unique films that have stood out. An African American princess, a CGI princess, video game characters, 2 sister princesses, superhero flick and 2 animal heroes becoming cops. All stood out for a reason. Bolt....well let's just it is no different than what Dreamworks or Blue Sky was releasing during that period (and even Dreamworks was stepping up with Kung Fu Panda that same year). So WHY is Bolt considered by some part of the revival when that honor clearly goes to Princess and the Frog and Tangled?

You post sounds like an opinion. I feel that Bolt is so much better of a movie than Meet the Robinson's that Bolt is the obvious choice as the beginning of a revival.

I mean why not some of the movies that they might be good before this but will they lived up to the classic

I consider it as good as much as Disney's other second Renaissance films. In fact, I like to think Bolt was a start to it.
