This article is about the city of New York. For the state of New York, see New York.
The City of New York, often called New York City, is the most populous city in the United States. It is located in the northeastern seaboard. It consists of five boroughs: Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island, and is a global mecca for commerce, politics, art, culture and entertainment. It has served as a recurring backdrop for film and media since the beginning, including those produced by Disney.
From the mid-1990s until 2009, the Disney Store, later re-themed as a World of Disney, had a location on Fifth Avenue. It reopened in Times Square one year later near the Palace Theatre. Disney Theatrical Productions has been a mainstay in the Theatre District since 1993 with the opening of Beauty and the Beast.

Bolt: New York City is where Bolt is accidentally being shipped to, and it is the first real-life scenery that the titular character experiences outside the studio. New York was one of the most notable locations depicted in the film, as this is the place where Bolt meets various other characters for the first time, most importantly the abandoned street cat, Mittens. All the scenes from the movie take place in real life New York locations. Bolt escapes from a shipping box, and runs aimlessly down the streets, looking for Penny. When he is accidentally caught with his head between the bars of an iron fence, Bolt must listen to the instructions of three pigeons to break free, all of whom speaks with a heavy Brooklyn accent. When hearing about Bolt’s irrational anti-cat sentiment, the three pigeons lead the dog to Mittens, whom he immediately captures. The cat tells Bolt that he must get to a place called Hollywood. Bolt seems confused at first, but recognizes the Hollywood logo he remembers from a certain map, written on the side of a U-Haul truck. Assuming that the truck must be heading where he wants to go, Bolt sneaks into to it, taking Mittens with him. They leave, heading down the interstate of Ohio.
