This made Bolt think that Penny was really in danger. Dr. Calico also had two cats that used to tease him after the show from the van roof and on that day, when they came Bolt was all ready as he wanted to save penny.
Bolt on the rescue:
He left the shooting point and ran from there. He went at an unknown point where he was unable to use his super powers as he thought all of them were real. A Styrofoam piece was stick to his body so he thought that this was the reason for his power getting weaker. He asked some pigeons on the way about Penny but they used him to release themselves from a cat that forced them to get them food.
Bolt met mittens:
The cat looked exactly like Calico’s cat. He thought that this cat would know Calico’s location. He wanted to get to Penny so he blackmailed her and mitten for her own life, lied that she knew his location.

Character Profile (bolt (2008) movie):
Mitten and Rhino:
Mitten was a cat and Bolt misunderstood her as Dr. Calico’s cat so he forced her to take him to penny as he thought that Penny was kidnapped but as soon as she realized that Bolt was a part of a TV show and his whole life was used for that purpose and Bolt thought the real world as TV show. He was never introduced to the real world. She helped him face the reality. Rhino was a hamster who saw bolt in a TV show and always wanted to be like Bolt. He helped Bolt from getting free from the animal rescue van.

Villain’s Profile (bolt (2008) movie):
Dr. Calico and Movie makers:
There is no specific villain in the movie but Dr. Calico was playing the role of Villain in the shots and kidnapped penny’s father for his own benefit. He even kidnapped penny for this purpose. But as in the movie, it was all part of a TV show shooting. The real hero in my opinion are the movie makers that used an animal’s feeling for their TV show and never let him enjoy the outside world. They wanted Bolt think that he had some sort of super powers and his whole life became a TV show but after he went in the real world, he faced the bitter reality that messed his whole life.
