Balto Special Edition DVD Petition

Baltoowner · **Posted:** Sat Dec 02, 2006 7:47 am

I say we try to get the population of balto higher. I think that people only balto was made up like ferngully. They should know that balto is a real hero. My other guess is that why we are getting mad. They are thinking real hard for another movie. Maybe if we think of a good movie, we can send a message about it you know. I have a friend named bobby. His uncle works for universal I will tell you. If you want I will create a topic for what he says. That is if you want. It's your choice steet.

They should put the movie of the real Balto as an extra on the DVD.

I'm somewhat with Togo, but mostly I tihnk it's a good idea, you can't ever give up on something you love...And we all love Balto. I'd definately sign.

I´m in I like another the petition. And we can ask them to collect all the languages that Balto was given out in and put it on the dvd. Like the Icelandic balto came only out in VHS and then you never saw it again. I have been trying to get one ever since but no one has on.
I think we also need to say how much it would mean to all the Balto fans if they gave out the dvd and how gradeful we would be and maybe they put some more effort into advertising it then it could get really popular.

So do think I should make a topic (see first comment)?

Well, yes, I think that being able to contact "directly" one of the persons in Universal's staff would be the best thing. I don't know if you're saying the truth though. But I don't see the point of making a topic specifically for that, this one should be enough.
In any case, if anyone of you can speak with one person working at Universal home video, then just show them the site, or the article I posted some time ago :

You said it some time ago, another petition would make them thing that we are an annoying fan group, so I don't think another petition would work

Well, only idiots don't change their opinion...Now that I've seen many cases for which the fans succeeded getting what they wanted by insisting a lot (for many different things : video games, TV series...) I think we should do the same. Staying quiet is not the solution.

At the very least, the petition will have one effect : to remind them of Balto.
Because I seriously think that now, they don't even think about it, and we could miss an opportunity.

I mean, yes we could annoy them (not with another petition, but if we would send them lots of letters for example) But since they aren't planning to do anything, what could be worse?

So, another solution would be to organize a letter campaign. I've seen this done many times in other fan communities. Sending them letters regularly, by many different people, to show them they have a big fan base.

Another thing to consider is that with Blue-Ray And HDDVD's coming out now It might be wise to see what format wins this war before We ask anything of Universal regarding Balto.

Absolutely not : these formats won't be widely used before at least 3 years, and much more for animated films. (if you consider that, for animated films, VHS cassettes were still selling more than DVDs even 5 years after the release of DVD...) Blue-Ray and HD Dvd may even not work at all. If you take the example of audio CDs, other better formats never succeeded to take its place...

Good point Steet. :wink:

so are you saying gather up a bunch of letters people from the site has made and send them?

If there's any way to directly promote Balto to Universal, do it. A petition is easier to cast aside and ignore than a real person or evidence to promote it.
Besides, it's been two years. Universal's probably forgotten all about our petition. How could we annoy them with another one?
And asking for only one thing has a chance of better results. I think we sounded a little too desperate in our last petition. Only asking for one simple thing might reap better results.

I'm there. Count me in if a petition comes up...I'll gladly sign it. In fact, a special edition boxed set of the three, with special features, interviews, production stills (and info), and other stuff (and also the documentary "Balto: Endurance, Fidelity, Intelligence") would rock!
