Ok, I know this may sound like a stupid Question, but When Balto leaped on the Hunter who Tried to kill Aleu, Because Balto looks like a wolf also, Would'nt the Hunter Kill him also? I know that It Would'nt happen in the movie, I just mean Logically.

This isn't really a stupid question, so it's okay to ask it.

To be honest, the reason why the hunter didn't aim the gun at Balto was because his target was Aleu, and Balto managed to ruin his initial shot when he attacked him. For the rest of the struggle, the hunter isn't able to make a shot because either Balto or Boris had a hold of the gun and were trying to get it out of the hunter's hands. By the time it ends, he's in a daze and probably delirious, so there's no reason to say he's got time to make a clear and safe shot.

Also, I have a strange feeling that perhaps the hunter was actually under someone else's control, given his only line once he saw Balto and company gathering to leave the area ["The spirits must be trying to trick me."] and the obvious confusion in his eyes. Plus, how else would the story set up Aleu to learn about her heritage if she was meant to be in the wild by the time of the film's climax? There was no way Balto would ever tell her about it otherwise, unless her life was actually put in danger like this.

The inclusion of mist in this scene explains everything - rewatch the movie again and you'll catch it in all of the important and right spots.

I hope that helps!

He probably was too startled to finish it.

Balto was already known in Nome, right? And didn't Boris say something in that movie about how Aleu looks more like a wolf than her dad, or am I remembering that wrong?

The hunter was scared, because he thought that aleu would attack him too in that time they didn't hunt like today, today they have more protection than before (if i'm bot wrong)
