If think the sadist part of the movie was the hole thing. I Did not like this movie at all.

I geuss the saddest part is the end...

to me, the sadest part is when noone picks aleu. when i was like seven years old when the movie came out. i was on the verge of crying because it was so sad seeing all the others get picked and her left all by herself. especially when to waves to the last red and white puppy to leave.

Why do you WQ haters bother to post anything? You should know that mature WQ lovers won't listen to you. Anyway, the saddest part to me was during Taking you home. Can you ever picture yourself in a box all on your own not knowing that no one is coming to pick you up? It saddens me that they would judge her by her appearance.

Plus, why can't you WQ just make a rewrite of the film in fanfic form? Do it the way the want to, you know?

The saddest part was when Aleu wasn't adopted. I don't think it would have been as sad if the song wasn't included though.
But I also think that the end part where Balto watches Aleu floating away on the iceberg then has to say goodbye to his mum straight after was sad as well.

Although Cat does have her point (and some of us have our own opinions about it), I think that there were a few 'sad' moments in WQ.

1): "Taking You Home" AKA the adoption scene: Although it's terribly animated, you really feel the emotions of the characters in this scene: Jenna's tears of watching her children being let go from her grips, Balto's worries of his only wolf-like daughter possibly to never be chosen by a child, and the puppies' excitement to be set free to begin the rest of their journey called 'Life'. The most touching moment is the ending of the scene when the song ends and Aleu is happily waving to her sibling and playmate since birth, not knowing that she is destined to never feel what that puppy is feeling at that moment.

I swear, when I first watched the film on VHS (yes, I have both copies of the film. I luv it.), I was in tears. I knew that Aleu wasn't going to be chosen, although she never doubted that one day someone would love her as much as those other five humans loved her siblings. Ultimate tearjerker.

2): The Ending AKA Balto lets go: I think almost everyone (with exception of the WQ haters and those that think WQ was a waste of time) would believe me when I say that the ending was unexpected. I was actually hoping that Aleu would join her father with the wolf pack and they would lead together (crazy? Yes, I know.); unfortunately, the studios surprised me by allowing Aleu to stand up for herself and follow her wild, untamed heart that was leading her to the wolf pack in the first place. That final dialogue between Father and Daughter was so . . . *eek* so emotional . . . I still wasn't expecting that to happen, but somehow, I'm glad it did. Balto learned an important lesson: "If you love something (or in this case, someone), let it go."

I actually did cry after watching this the first time. It was so uncalled for, and I liked it. Still, I would have loved to see Jenna's reaction once Balto came back empty-pawed. XD

And that was it. Although the film wasn't flawless (please don't argue about that, ok? We all know the animation wasn't at best. You don't have to repeat it again. Thanks.), the story did have its share of emotionally sad moments.

Yeah, the ending is for me the saddest part of whole the film. But what you think? Aleu can maby return in the fourth film if there one shoul be!!!!!

Yeah, I think thats sad. Brings tears to my eyes.

Most definately agreed XD

I was on the egde of crying when i saw the ending for the first time, but now that i've seen it mutiple times it isn't that sad anymore.

For me the WQ was the most emotional one of the Balto movies.

For me too, it's so sad when Aleu leaves Balto, it's good for her finding her destiny but they must leave each other and Balto cries

I have to entirely concur with Juuchan17's answers. Although I'm not a big fan of WQ, I certainly don't hate it, and I'd find it hard to deny that the adoption scene & the ending were very sad and emotional.

are you saying you don't like balto 2?
