Bolt Games Inspired by Upcoming Animated Feature Film To Arrive on Multiple Platforms This Holiday

BURBANK, Calif., Jun 19, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Disney Interactive Studios announced today the November 2008
release of video games inspired by the upcoming, original feature
animation film "Bolt" from Walt Disney Pictures. Bolt will be
available for the Wii home game system, Xbox 360(R) video game and
entertainment system from Microsoft, PLAYSTATION(R)3 computer
entertainment system, PlayStation(R)2 computer entertainment system,
Nintendo DS(TM) and Windows-based PC.

The latest computer animated film from Walt Disney Animation
Studios, "Bolt" tells the story of a canine TV star that is
inadvertently shipped from Hollywood to New York City, where he begins
a cross-country adventure home and makes the surprising discovery that
the super powers he thought he had don't work in the real world. The
Bolt video game, which is being developed by Avalanche Software,
Disney's Interactive Studios' family games development studio, takes
place in the world of the action-packed television show and offers the
opportunity for Bolt and Penny to travel throughout five international
locations, including Russia and Italy.

In the game, players take on the heroic personas of the TV star
dog, Bolt, and his owner, Penny, from the high-action television
series featured within the film. As Bolt, players can use his
superpowers, including laser vision and his superbark, which sends out
a sonic blast to devastate opponents, and as Penny, players utilize
stealth, hacking skills and a wheelbar, inspired by her scooter seen
in the movie, to outwit enemies.

"Bolt uses the film as a springboard, expanding upon the action
and dynamic story elements, to provide a fun, challenging experience
for gamers," said Craig Relyea, senior vice president of global
marketing, Disney Interactive Studios. "With Bolt, Avalanche Software
looks to further its reputation as a premier developer of compelling
animated games for a broad audience."

The Nintendo DS version of the game will include competitive and
co-op multiplayer, mini games as well as DGamer, Disney Interactive
Studios' innovative new technology that provides a fun, connected game
community for Disney video game fans. With DGamer, players earn
content, interact and chat with others on Nintendo DS through the
Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection or on a computer through the Disney.com
website. The Nintendo DS game is being developed by Altron.

About the "Bolt" film

For super-dog Bolt (voice of John Travolta), every day is filled
with adventure, danger and intrigue -- at least until the cameras stop
rolling. When the star of a hit TV show is accidentally shipped from
his Hollywood soundstage to New York City, he begins his biggest
adventure yet -- a cross-country journey through the real world to get
back to his owner and co-star, Penny (voice of Miley Cyrus). Armed
only with the delusions that all his amazing feats and powers are
real, and with the help of two unlikely traveling companions: a jaded,
abandoned housecat named Mittens (voice of Susie Essman) and a
TV-obsessed hamster in a plastic ball named Rhino, Bolt discovers he
doesn't need superpowers to be a hero.
