Wikipedia article
'Super Rhino' is a 2009 American computer animated comedy direct-to-video short film, produced by Walt Disney Animation Studios and starring the characters from feature film 'Bolt'. Directed by Nathan Greno, the short film picks up sometime after the conclusion of 'Bolt'. The excitable and TV obsessed hamster Rhino finds out his friends Penny and Bolt have been kidnapped. Rhino has to save them from the evil Dr. Calico. The short inspires 'Bolt: The Video Game' and is a spin-off to the fictional TV show featuring Bolt.
'Super Rhino' was included in the 2009 DVD and Blu-Ray release of 'Bolt'.
Plot
Penny and Bolt have been captured by the evil Dr. Calico, suspended above a pool of lava, inside a heavily guarded warehouse on an island in the middle of nowhere - a base which is impenetrable to both people 'and' dogs. Penny's father watches the events from his lab through a secret camera imbedded in Bolt's collar and worries that he cannot save her. Discovering that no man or dog can break into Dr. Calico's base, he turns to Rhino, who is watching TV in the background. In order to save Penny and Bolt, Rhino is put through the same procedure as Bolt to give him super-powers.
Rhino uses his newly found powers to fly across the sea and crash land outside the armed base encased in his ball. Rhino's battle with the guard is witnessed by Penny, Bolt and Dr. Calico from the inside, with helicopters and cars crashing into the side of the building. Rhino uses his heat-vision to create an opening in the wall.
Once inside, Rhino uses his eye-beams to defeat the armed guards and commandeers a flying missile, riding it like a surfboard to aim at Dr. Calico, though the missile misses. Instead, Rhino uses his "super squeak" (similar to Bolts "super bark") ability to finish the villain off. With Penny and Bolt saved, Rhino walks away.
Rhino is next seen on stage performing "The Best of Both Worlds"; the theme song from 'Hannah Montana' (by co-star Miley Cyrus), where it is revealed that Rhino has been dreaming his adventures all along. Mittens wakes him up, telling him that she's not a fan of his singing. The short ends with another dream sequence, this time about Rhino being selected by the President to defeat Calico once again.
