Bolt: Absolutely ridonculous.
Mittens: You can say that again.
- Miley Cyrus was not the first choice for Penny. Chloë Grace Moretz voiced the entire film before Miley was placed on the project.
- The studio lot shown in Bolt is a recreation of the Riverside Dr entrance to the Disney Studio lot in Burbank, California.
- The guard's weapons are of a bull-pup design, placing the trigger before the magazine.
- Since the word "bolt" can be used as a vulgar word meaning a male organ in Russian, the film was released as "Volt" in Russia, with the hero called Volt. The film is also called "Volt" in Hungary, France and for the French-language release in Canada. Besides, the name of the film is "Lightning" in Croatia, Slovakia, Estonia and Poland and "Thunder" in Bulgaria.
- When the animals arrive at the Hollywood studio, a car pulls up and the security guard is distracted by the driver who has an appointment with "Joe Mateo". Joseph Mateo is one of the studio artists listed in the movie's credits.
