The latter plays the role of the dog Volt, the biggest spotlight Canine All-Hollywood, which will have greatly need the help of his friends to return to California, who was dropped by mistake in New York City.

“It is true that a fee because Rhino really blossoming. It explodes easily and me, it was my business because I am able to gueuler studio. Let’s say I do not mind that too.

While many American stars to vote in such films, this is none other than John Travolta who personifies Volt in the English version, it can not be said of Quebec adjustments. “This is the first time that Disney does with players in Quebec. It must be said that we have great actors for dubbing home. But for Volt, they wanted to try with well-known and loved young people. As Claude and I have the same agent, we have heard both, “said he, stressing that he had also auditioned for the lead role.

One thing is certain that if we rely on the success generated by this type of movie in the past, Volt would normally allow Disney to make new full coffers during the holidays.
