you can't always believe everything will fall into Balance if you try to make Balto 4, i'm for it but i don't think it'll happen anytime soon

You said "anytime soon" so that means there's possibilities?

It's just their opinion, nothing official. It pretty much has been summed up that Balto 4 will never happen.

By anytime soon, I think Echo meant either in the near or distant future. Or both. Either way, it will not happen. If ever.

So B4 if it will never happen was it the stock market from B3 is because B3 didn't make it to their goal to make B4?

But I think still but there will be possibilities.

Dude, its been said by "Glen" Or whomever is the head-hauncho at Universal that it will NEVER happen, "Balto" has been forgotten.

If they DID ever for some weird reason actually make a "Balto 4" , Good luck getting me to ever watch it.

But as I stated before, its came from "Steets" Mouth also, that Universal has closed their animation studio, thus meaning that there is little to no possiblilies of such a thing happening.

I'm once again, not trying to make anyone all butthurt, its just facts man. When Something doesn't make money, they don't continue it, what would be the point?

In business (I run My own business so I'd know a thing or two about it) you want to make Profit. In other words if it cost them, lets say 3 million (not saying that is what it cost I'm just making an example) to make Balto 3, and they only made 500,000 In profit, then they are LOSSING money... if it cost them 3 mil to make, then you want to make more than that to get profit, if your profit doesn't exceed at least more than Half of what you put into it, then theres not reason for you to want to loose more money by making another... it'd be a lost cause.

Sadly Universal didn't care about the "Balto" Franchise because it didn't make them any money, which is why they DID however continue to produce "The Land Before Time" Movies, why else would they make 13 sequels, and a Television Series?...I'll tell you why, it made them money, thats WHY!

Not that I'm complaining, once again I loved all 14 Movies and all those cute little TV Series episodes.

Another thing, since I saw it mentioned, Balto Tv Series? Please for the love of all things good..NO.
There'd be nothing educational about it... at least not in a historical sense, maybe it'd be educational for children, like in a "Be Nice and don't judge others" Sorta way. But in a Historical sense the show would clearly have to be called "Togo"...Whole nother argument right there folks...

Yes i have to agree with dunkin.Their not going to make balto 4 because there is no profit.

It's a fact, Lakota. As many have told you in the past, including me, Balto 4 will never happen. Read Dunkin's post.

There are SEVERAL people, actually, who have said it will pretty much never happen. The head of Universal is one of the more important ones, but also included are Glenn Ross and several others. Most recently, during an interview with Phil Weinstein, he said he's pitched ideas to Universal several times but they have said they are not interested in making more movies.

Steet in late 2007 sent a petition to Universal, but they replied saying that there will be no future Balto movies.

Sorry, but they've been saying that for the past 7 years, and I doubt it's going to change anytime soon. Believe me, I wish they would make a Balto IV--heck, even the people who made the Balto films wish they would make a Balto IV. But it's just not going to happen.

@ Lakota: Calm down. Your starting to start up arguments which will end up in the topic being locked.
