"Super Rhino" is an animated short film from 2009, so this one will have its 10th anniversary two years from now. It was directed by Nathan Greno, his first directorial effort and he went on to make Tangled afterward. It is a spin-off to the Disney animated Oscar nominee Bolt and runs for slightly over 4 minutes. Girl (Miley Cyrus) and dog (Scooby Doo Frank Welker) got caught by the evil scientist (Malcolm McDowell), but luckily for them a hamster with insane dodging skills and laser beams coming out of his eyes is out there for the rescue. That's it and for four minutes it is okay I guess. Eventually, there is a decent Miley Cyrus references when the hamster performs one of her greatest hits in a(n intentional) cringeworthy fashion. Still i must say this short film did not get me curious about Bolt that I still haven't seen and also there was nothing really memorable about this very short film. Like I wrote in the title, I think it is really only worth checking out if you are a huge Bolt fanboy/-girl. Otherwise you can skip it. loving animation is not enough I am afraid because I do and it's not enough to enjoy this one. Admittedly, at this runtime you cannot really do much wrong. But I still give it a thumbs-down. Definitely needed more Miley Cyrus, one of the most talented artists of our generation when she relies on her skills and not on her (admittedly massive) sex appeal. Thumbs down overall for Rhino.
