Balto 2 : Wolf Quest

3 / 10 3 / 10


Greatly Expectations, Low Approval,

When I first saw this trailor after watching NCIS, I was astounded.  "They're making a sequal?" I asked myself over and over. I checked Balto Source multiple times to make sure I hadn't been dreaming.   Sure enough it was there and in the making, greatly anticipated by many Balto fans around the world.

When I saw it...I was puzzled.  Yes, puzzled.  Within the first ten minutes of the film, I spotted several mistakes on the producer's part and the animators.  Balto's eyes were white, Balto's Hero status seemingly gone, the strong self-confident wolf/dog was replaced by an over-worried mutt who couldn't let his daughter, a half-grown wolf (nearly 18-20 years in human years) know about her heiritage until a hunter shot at her.  Seriously, it is something as simple and obvious as that that needs to be explained when a pup is a pup.  Alue thought a hunter, who was aiming at her, would adopt her!  

Now lets move on to the main character's interactions with their human counterparts.  My human, his human, human, human, human, human.  That is what the characters referred to their masters and owners.  What happened to the dogs knowing their owner's names?  In Balto, Jenna referred to her owner as Rosie.  In Balto II, she referred to Rosie as "My Human".  When Dingo was taken to a new home she said, "I know that human, she will be a great owner for Dingo."  Right, if she knew that human she would've at least said the name of said human.

The trouble-maker trio.  It is obvious the probucers tried to remake Nikki, Kaltag, and Star but in their wolf form.  However they failed.  Cowards to the core (afraid of a raven), can't speak clearly at all (had a hard time understanding a single word in some dialogue exchanged between the trio themselves), just poor representation of the trouble trio.  

As much as I like Mark Hamill's acting in Star Wars series and in the Airbender series, I think he may have done a better job in Balto II.  In his song, it was hardly a song but....talking with the chours. 

I could go on and on about what was wrong and how bad the represenation of Balto II compared to its predocessor but I think most readers have the main point down.

It was a great idea continuing Balto's story but the story itself could've been written, animated, and acted/sung better.
