It is a black bolt!

We watched the animation film 'Bolt' last night. I know it's for kids but the animation work is incredible and a joy to watch. In fact, everything about it is so well done - the plot - characterisation etc etc. I wonder how many people realise where the idea for Bolt's "super bark" came from? I may be wrong but it seems an amazing coincidence that there was this character called 'Black Bolt' in the early Fantastic Four comics, the leader of the Inhumans, whose voice was so devastating that he had to remain silent. If he so much as whispered there was an earthquake. i find it hard to believe that the creators of Bolt had never heard of Black Bolt. Good job Black Bolt is fictional character or he might be pretty peed off at being turned into a dog :-)
