Balto overview
Overview
Balto is an animated film, released in 1995 and produced by the Universal / Amblimation studios.
The film follows such films as An American Tail or Land Before Time from the same studio, which share common points with the Disney animated films, and were released during the golden age of traditional western animation.
The story of Balto deals with wolves and dog sledding, and is based on true facts that happened in 1925 in Nome, Alaska, where diphteria, a fatal disease, occured.
Two low-budget sequels to Balto have been released to date, being direct-to-video sequels unlike the original.

And there Santa-Cruz has said most of my opinions there. Balto 1 was
far better, and the animation, a LOT better than the sequels. The
singing in the sequels were indeed very annoying. And yes, there were
indeed a lot of unnecessary characters. But, Santa Cruz has pretty much said it all. |

I prefer the first Balto movie out of three. I don't know...the other
two sequals were poor quality, lack of character design, and just
downright annoying...Balto 1 had the best movie quality and with
detailed character design. The first movie had invited me in and was
more passionate and serious torwards it's story but the other two
sequels were cheesy with their singing and unnecessary characters. The
first Balto movie was the BEST of all in my opinion. |
