Q&A With Rhino from “BOLT”

Last week, I had the chance to participate in a Q&A session with the director (Nathan Greno) of the Disney short “Super Rhino”, we well as Mark Walton who voices Rhino.

If you purchased the “BOLT” combo pack on March 22nd, then most likely you have had the chance to watch “Super Rhino”. The standard BOLT DVD also goes on sale today, March 24th.

I thought the short was done really well and it was so funny! If you have seen it, I would love to hear your thoughts on it.

In celebration of the standard DVD release today, I’ll have a few posts highlighting some of the characters. You can already see an interview with Penny and Bolt, as well as Miley Cyrus talking about the movie.

Later, we’ll hear from the pigeons, Mittens and 10 fun facts about BOLT. Right now, it’s Super Rhino’s turn! See below for an interview with Rhino, clips from the movies, as well as some stills from the Disney short “Super Rhino”. As always, Rhino is keeping it real.

Hi Rhino! What are you up to?

Nothing much. Just rolling around.

Are you a hamster?

Excuse me? Of course I’m a hamster! Except I’m not just any hamster. I’m one-sixteenth wolf with a little wolverine in there, too. I’m not to be messed with!

We’ve heard you’re a big fan of television?

Television? What’s that? Wait a minute… Are you talking about the magic box that people stare at? It’s got moving pictures on it – and Bolt’s pictures are the best. I love the magic box. It’s fully awesome!

Are you a fan of Bolt, too?

Of course I am! Bolt the super dog is the most awesome thing in my life. He can outrun speeding missiles and he can burn through solid metal with his heat vision. And best of all, he can obliterate large structures with his super bark. Bolt is my hero.

You got the chance to meet Bolt recently, didn’t you?

I did – and it was awesome. Every minute I spent in Bolt’s company became the new greatest minute of my life. I couldn’t believe it when I saw him standing outside my RV.

What did you think when you first spotted him?

I said to myself, “Do my eyes deceive me? Is this some apparition I see before me – or do I really see my hero standing there?”

And it was really Bolt?

It was! Standing in front of me was the dog who singlehandedly destroyed the green-eyed man’s undersea labs, the hero who foiled Calico’s evil plans to infiltrate the Olympics with cyborgs. Bolt the super dog was standing right there. It was fully awesome!

Did Bolt teach you anything?

If Bolt taught me one thing, it’s about how you never abandon a friend in a time of need. When your teammate is in trouble, you go. Whether you know if you’ll return or not, you go. You go and you help. That’s what heroes do.

Sounds like you’re a big admirer of Bolt the super dog…

Oh, I am. Everyone needs a hero. Everyone needs someone who can show them that impossible is possible. Bolt is that hero. He’s awesome. He’s legendary. You know what? I’ve got my very own Bolt birthmark, too. It’s like we’re twins.

What was Bolt up to when you first met him?

He was wandering around our RV Park with a cat called Mittens. I thought Mittens was an agent of the green-eyed man, but I was wrong. Bolt was looking for Penny, who is the most wonderful person ever. She loves Bolt.

So you all went on a bit of an adventure together?

That’s right! I said to Bolt, “I have a ball and I can roll with the punches.” I told him that I had razor-sharp reflexes and how I was a master of stealth. I eat danger for breakfast – and I was starving!

Where was the most fun place you visited on your travels?

I’ve been to a lot of cities, but I love the bright lights of Las Vegas. The trashcans outside the buffet restaurants are amazing in Vegas. They’re full of awesome treats. They throw out entire cakes and huge slices of meat lover’s pizza!

Are you a fan of pizza?

Mmm…Don’t get me started on food! Pizza is my favorite. Especially meat lover’s pizza. I can’t recommend it enough. Seriously, try it. It’s fully awesome. Nearly as awesome as my good friend, Bolt.
