Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Mehdi Hoffman There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

patricialafferty_1819 I love Balto as shows.I give balto all 3 shows a 9 or 10 we watch balto a lot in my house. My husband and I think it would be great if something happened to balto not dead missing and Boris is telling his kids how he met balto how he got separated from his mom who his dad is and his kids have to go find him that would be great. Have balto hurt and can't get home have his kids come together where ever they are even aloo, Kodiak, and what ever the others name is have it where they have to find their father and get him home, maybe they have to go through some things to get there. But first have all the children there and Boris telling them how balto came to be with him and learn all about their father and what they learned will help them find balto. The show could show aloo out in the wild with the wolf pack and all of a sudden have a vision of something happening to her father. Then she goes home and gathers up her brothers and sisters to help her in finding her father and bringing him back home safely. It may be something that happened to him while he was out in the plane with Duke or some other way he gets injured and cannot make it back home. I am not submitting this to have it posted I am submitting it to be able to have another balto cartoon or movie to watch. The first three are great and one that explains how balto ended up in Nome Alaska would just tie everything together.

DesertDogMedia Title: Balto Directed by: Simon Wells Storyline: At first we have an old lady telling her granddaughter the story about the cold winter of 1925, this is where the live action segment finally stops and the animation begins. We're firstly introduced to the antagonist Steele, he is shown to be less than good by cheating in the sled race to get first place. Around the same time we are introduced to Balto. We're also introduced to the only 3 bitches in the whole of Nome that you'll get to see minus the cameo of 3 others. You also hear the photographer saying to musher "Look's like any dog can outrun Steele" this is wrong on many levels, dog races can go on for hundreds to a thousand miles, Balto just jumped in at the last 100 meters or so and didn't even cross the line. So I cant see how he is even remotely as good as Steele. You can see the tension between Steele and Jenna when he says "Well, maybe your taste runs more towards wolf?" this is after she turns him down for going to dig up bones (Not sure if innuendo or not) you can see the possible jealousy and resentment Steele would now hold as he's been turned down by Jenna and made to look bad by Balto. So depending on the perspective you look at it through is if you think Steele is justified in his aggression and loathing against Balto. You will see him dealing with discrimination up until the point where he has to rescue the other sled dogs, but it does give good insight into his predicament about not fitting in with the dogs and not fitting in with the wolves either. But then all of the children are sick with diphtheria so the sled dogs how to go and collect the shipment of anti-toxin because all other methods of transport are grounded due to weather. But the sled dogs get lost and Balto has to go into the wildlands and find them before it is too late. He finds them and tries to lead them back, but Steele isn't having any of it and starts a fight with him, needless to say Balto wins and starts to lead the sled team back. But Steele goes ahead and sabotages his only way of getting back to Nome, risking the lives of the sled team along with all of the dying children all to keep his own pride in place. Steele arrives back at Nome to try and make everyone believe that Balto tried to take the medicine from the team and got them all killed in the process with only Steele's tale to tell. But needless to say Balto finds his way back and shows that Steele has been lying to them, so needless to say Steele goes from hero to zero, whereas Balto does the exact opposite and wins the girl and the town soon loves him for it. Acting: Kevin Bacon who is known for Apollo 13 and Footloose does the voice of Balto, he adds character to him. But I have to say I did not recognize his voice until I looked up who the voice actor was. Jim Cummings the voice of Shocker from Spiderman TAS and other background character from other movies plays Steele, and boy does he do a good job of it. You can really feel the vanity at some parts along with the ego. Bridget Fonda from the Godfather 3 places Jenna, the husky which falls for the wolfdog and is primarily the only reason Balto goes to find the sled dog team. I'm sure she is a good actor, but you could replace her with any other female and I wouldn't really miss anything. Characters: Balto is the main character who discriminated against because he is half wolf, although this fact doesn't get him down all the time so it is good he isn't constantly moping. Even if for the main part he is only saving the children to get Jenna to like him. Jenna feels like a female character who is just there to get Balto to do good things for people, impressive to see her try and take on the bear though so that earns her more credibility. Steele is the top dog who does not take lightly to not getting his own way. He's vain, arrogant and is willing to sacrifice all to get what he wants. He isn't really a bad guy until he sabotages Balto's chance of getting the medicine back and spreads lies about him.Animation: The animation is quite enjoyable, not Disney standard. But the best next thing you can get to it. No noticeable flaws in it, the lip syncing isn't a masterpiece, but you can't really expect them to perfectly sync it up when the main characters have muzzles not lips. Length: 80 minutes, long enough to establish the main protagonist, antagonist, secondary characters and story. But apart from that not long enough to make me care about the children. But in saying that, focus too much on the children and I would be wishing them dead sooner. Overall Feel: Extremely loosely based on a true story, chances are if it was based on a true story it would only be 10/15 minutes long compared to 80 minutes long. But regardless of that fact it is a very nice movie, it also comes from the same people who brought you 'An American Tail' and 'The Land Before Time'. Perfect film to get a child or even an adult who likes wolves/dogs but doesn't want them to die in the movie. But sadly the cast of this movie is going to get changed after the 1st movie, you may or may not notice. Doesn't really add or subtract anything from the viewing, it is just the fact that is bothers some.

breakdownthatfilm-blogspot-com It's rare that one finds an animated movie that has so much heart that isn't connected to Disney. Off the top of my head, I can't think of any others that stand out than this movie. Balto (1995), was loosely based off the real life events of an actual husky dog of the same name. The only difference is that the story was changed slightly to give the character of Balto a little more background. That is why it's loosely based off the actual events. Kudos to the four writers because it made this movie very enjoyable.Here, Balto lives on the edge of a town because he's not a husky. Yet somehow, everyone in the town, including the humans know his name? How is this possible (this is really the only thing I didn't understand)? His ancestry comes from dog/wolf, which leaves him in a bad spot because no one wants to trust him and the snooty pure bread husky dogs don't want a mutt joining their dog team. What Balto dreams most of, is running with the husky dogs and pulling the sleds they pull. And little does he know, but his chance will come sooner than he thinks, when a virus breakout comes on the town and he decides to fetch the medicine for the sick.The cast in this film is horrendously good too. Kevin Bacon voices our hero, Balto. Bacon is able to make his role really sound courageous and emotional when it needs to be and that's good. Voicing his love interest is Bridget Fonda as a little girl's husky named Jenna. Even if this is Fonda's first time doing voice acting, she did a great job. She knows how to give Jenna the right tone of voice and emotion at the same time. And I got to admit, Jenna and Balto make an adorable dog couple. Thank you animation department! Let's also not forget our antagonist named Steele voiced by famous voice actor, Jim Cummings. Cummings, who can do this work in his sleep, also gives a convincing performance as the thickheaded, husky with way too much hubris.And along with Steele are always the knuckle head followers of the antagonist. All of which have their own quirkiness about them, which make them funny. But that's not all. Accompanying Balto on his travels are three other friends. Two are a duo of polar bears named Muk and Luk, which are both voiced by musician Phil Collins. Surprisingly, even Collins gives a memorable performance. But the character I found the most entertaining when it came to comic relief was Boris the goose (the other friend) played by Bob Hoskins. Boris is such a great character because of how well he knows Balto and the problems that he faces. It is because of that, that he does his best to make sure his closest friend is in good hands. If you don't fall for Boris, I don't know what will.The art department did a nice job at keeping the view big and broad. Since the setting was in Alaska, it is only respective that the picture be epic looking. Mainly because, Alaska is epic period. Also I like the sounds a lot. Cracking ice to crunching snow. The one sound that I got chills from was hearing the wolves howl. I couldn't stop from getting goosebumps. I have no clue why but it gave me the shivers and that made me like it more. Adding to that was the soundtrack provided by composer James Horner and boy did it work. Excluding a few previous works that Horner has made that were mishaps, Horner really knows how to evoke the right emotions at the right time. It made watching Balto fun and invigorating.The characters alone is what makes the cake in this movie. The icing to the cake is James Horner's music, the grand backgrounds and involving sound effects.

mervclan Well I have watched Balto and its sequels when I was young. I think that the first one is best Balto movie. its just an amazing movie based on a true story about a wolf that saved some very sick child. its no where near as good as Coraline or Babe but its amazing movie to watch. The story is about Balto a wolf and haft dog who is a stray dog to people and gets bullied a lot by a dog called Steele but when Steele and the gang got lost in the snow Balto came to help them But Steele did not needed help but Balto took the gang threw the snow and made it back in one piece and he became a hero to people. the movie is just great who has not seen this movie before should watch because its amazing movie so if love dog films like Marley and me or All dogs go to heaven then this is a movie you should watch because its amazing I give this movie 8.3 out of 10 very good.
