...Thanks to conniving from the usual slimy coven of agents and network execs - and a tumble of coincidences nearly as endearing as they are preposterous - Bolt is shipped to New York City, where he strikes up a quick animosity with a sassy cat named Mittens (Curb Your Enthusiasm's Susie Essman). Their itinerary will be no secret to the youngest of viewers: cat and dog, joined by Rhino (Disney animator Mark Walton), a hamster who travels in a Plexiglas ball.

...friend, Jane, explained it to me. We were talking at a special convening-coven?-of the BLOHARDS (Benevolent Loyal Order of Honorable and Ancient Red Sox Diehard Sufferers of New York), which is a 40-year-old behind-enemy-lines fraternity with a suddenly burgeoning membership. The conclave had been organized in a rush by club founder and grand poobah Jim Powers, and publicized on our website by Jim Shea. Powers had been contacted, in the aftermath of the glorious occasion, by the Boston brass to see if the BLOHARDS would like to gaze upon, and pose with, the championship...

...hero of Little Children, to the extent that it has one, is Sarah, a woman with a master's degree who finds herself at the age of thirtysomething watching her 3 year-old daughter frolic in a manicured playground, surrounded by a coven of fellow mothers who are capable of discussing only "the eating, sleeping, and defecating habits of their offspring, the merits of certain local nursery schools, and the difficulty of sticking to an exercise routine."
