I think that would be good for a fan fic, but not a movie. It would be a really slow movie I think. Plus it wouldn't really be a "Balto" movie.

Well I mean a Balto 4 but only show snips of Aleu and her pack, or Balto's puppyhood.

Well, that's what my fanfic's about. Oh, and I decided to cut part two and just go with Aleu's story until the time comes to change. So Part three is now part two.

The same for me. I really don't want an Aleu film...I'm not against seeing her reappear in some passages, but not a whole film. She already got too much screentime in WQ IMO.

i didnt like it much, it was ok

I didn't like it much myself. They (universal) repeated the same mistake they made in the first Balto.
In the first one, they came up with Jenna, who looks (at first glance) like a bit of a goody girl, someone who you might picture saying "I broke a nail" or something, with her perfect grooming and whatnot, but then she attacks a bear. Atacks a Bear! something that shows how strong of a character she is. showing she can hold her own with Balto, in dertermination and heart at the end of the movie, I pictured Balto and Jenna running off on some adventure together.
Then in wolf quest she get's like five minutes of screen time.
Essentially they ditched her character.
In WQ they set up this awesome character (Aleu) who has an obvious problem, that needs a resolution. The whole "Leader of a wolf pack" thing was good, something that fit her character, she was a bit... uh... freespirited.
Anyway at the end she just goes away.
Univerasal just threw this awesome character, who they spent an entire movie getting you to love and care for, in the trash.
Well the first thing I did when I wrote Jenna's Journey (to give Jenna the adventure I always thought she should have, injecting a little bit more of the "fight a bear" mentalilty into her and [draining is not the word] but... well talking a little bit of the "innocent bystander" out of her.) was establish the fact that the following year, the ice bridge showed up again, and the elk or carribou or whatever the heck they were (I can't remember) ran back across the ice, and guess who followed?
ALEU! She still leads a pack in my stories, she gets a mate has kids, defends her pack loses it and gets it back again. I made Aleu a workable character, yet she still answered her calling and is quite independant of her parents. My question?
WHY COULDN'T UNIVERSAL HAVE DONE SOMETHING LIKE THIS!!!!
I don't understand.
Oh well, I guess it's just a movie, and (at least in my Balto Universe) I fixed it so.... I'll let it go... for now.


P.S. What did Balto tell Jenna?
Here's a situation for ya!

Jenna: Oh hey Balto, glad to see you made it back, where's Aleu?
Balto: Oh, I found her, but it was her destiny.... I let her float away on a piece of ice with a pack which I really know not the slightest about.
Jenna: (Beats Balto up and goes to find someone smarter)

No that last part wouldn't happen.
Jenna's too good a character to do something like that, but really, what was going through Balto's head! What would Jenna think?

That would have been so funny. Balto's awkward moment.

i think the ending shoul dhave been better along with some of the story line like maybe hooking her up witha handsome wolf that helps her and balto and in the end goes with alue to lead the pack to safety and have pups making balot a grand daddy^^

kodi

I would like a different ending because in my opinion Aleu did not diserve those vitions besides it was confusing! because you don't even know why Aleu's eyes shine (now I know why)but at the first time I watched it thought it was because she ate mad cow meat! they did not introduce the other pups I don't even know why they made the other pups if they were not even going to introduce them.................these movie had the craapiest ending

I must agree with that

Well, about the other things you said Rotramel, don't forget that it's still an animated film for everyone, including children. So they can't show too much violence or blood or things like that...
BTW, I (finally!) finished to read your first fan fic! I'll post some comments in the fan section.

I would have liked it better if Aleu got a mate in WQ. The ending could have been much better too but I still like WQ...

The ending is good,i can image many things after seeing that.And about bears,you can find the same scence in many movies:Fox And Hound,White Fang and so on.(I wonder why there always have bear attacking sences)
About Aleu,for ma she has never got enough screentime and I want to see her all the time,at least two years.

The ending was O.K., but now it just leaves a unquestionable gap for everyone to try to figure out on what happens next after Aleu drifts away on that piece of ice with the pack and what happens to Niju after he's abandoned.

I would want to add on to the ending, balto is just left the way home. but the ending was good as a surprise and a lot of emotion
