Thanks. Yes, I know about it. Seriously, thanks him (Karlamon) very much. I just wrote what I exactly wanted to ask in this question. And I know that interview is over and it never will.

The interview is done and over, Marroah. Karl won't be sending anymore questions to Simon anytime soon. Any further questions you may have about the film should be asked on the questions page. You won't get a definite answer, but fellow fans can share their opinions with you.

Wild Joe, possibly named after (which is just my idea) the musher " Wild Bill Shannon", may have been a character that was scrapped early on in the development process. He also could have been a earlier version of an existing character.

The wolves that Balto saw were probably only added to introduce Balto's feelings towards his wolf heritage. I doubt that they have any relation to Balto.

(In this question) I wanted to ask about:

1. Some deleted characters (for example, a dog named Wild Joe)

2. Wolf pack on the hill in the begining of the movie (what are they? who are they? their possible relation to Balto) http://www.animationsource.org [...] balto/img_screenshot/80150.jpg

3. One male dog (it's most likely Balto's old design - http://www.animationsource.org [...] balto/img_screenshot/79989.jpg) and 3 females (I think, they're Jenna's old designs - http://www.animationsource.org [...] balto/img_screenshot/80025.jpg)

My information there is incorrect. "Snowballs" was code name for Balto when it was in preproduction

Guys, the interview is over. Karlamon has yet to e-mail (he's waiting for a response from the last batch that was sent yesterday, August 3rd) the remainder of the questions asked to Simon. I'm sure he can squeeze your questions in the final round, but please be mindful of the deadline date, which was July 25th.

I'm not sure if "Wild Joe" is related to Balto or not. Apparently there was another film being worked on called "Snowballs" at the time, but it was cancelled.
