Yes,I think you are right steet,Ive always thought Balto and Tramp look similar and most likley Balto was inspired by Lady and the Tramp.

Well maybe their looks are the stereotypical "wilder than a simple dog should be" and bit of an outcast.

Yes you may be right.

Except them both being gray, physical appearances are compltely different IMO. Balto style animation is more realistic than the animation in the Lady and the Tramp. The plot has similarites but aren't alot of movies featuring a hero whos an outcast, goes on the journey and gets the girl? What your seeing is basic and widely used plot design. THey may have been influenced byt The lady and the Tramp, but Balto doesnt really look like Tramp to me, not at all. And Balto had alot more magic to me than the latter movie, just me saying. Actually after looking at a few pictures and comparing i noticed that Tramp does look kinda like Balto, marking wise, and the eybrows, but face shape, body shade, eye shape and color, ear shape,and nose shape are different.

ugh...I dont nkow what to say,im brain dead but what I can say is that I never said the story plots are similar I just said Balto and Tramps design are related if you look at their markings on the cheek area the both have..umm well how do you say..they both have the same hair design on their cheeks.Its hard to notice unless youre like me who is an animation freak and stops the movie every five seconds.

Its not something hard to notice, its common, i think alot of animated animal characters have fur on their cheeks that way >_<

No,I didnt mean that i mean that the fur on their cheeks are the same..thats hard to notice.

I did notice it, but like its not something i would consider contraversial, just like a tiny tidbit of info.

he he he he

Well, I think it may have just been a bit of a coincidence that Tramp and Balto look a bit similar. Because they're both street dogs, they both went for the scruffy look, and that tan brown colour is good for a street-dog look. Who knows.

Its possible,but in my opinion Balto looks to much like Tramp.

I know it seems a bit off-topic,but the only similarity I see between Balto and Tramp are the pups they have,Scamp and three daughters(Tramp and Lady)Kodi,Aleu,and the other siblings(Balto and Jenna)This time I'm agreeing with you,KK.

Films are similar to others all the time! It's not that they're copying in most cases, it's just that it's a popular kind of tale I guess!

Oh, and to the Tramp thing ... I guess the eyes are similiar, but really it's so minor the look in my opinion!

I still perfer Balto because of wolf,and I just wonder why there are more and more people have a comparation between there two movies.
