Well, my INTENT is to purchase a copy of "Balto: Endurance Fidelity & Intelligence". I know some of pics I posted of Balto came from screen caps of that documentary. As well as some of the movies on Fluke's Ice Cave.

I must admit, I don't own much material stuff about the real history, and NOTHING about the cartoons (other than the three cartoons on DVD themselves). I'm not a collector, however. I mean, I'd like to own the documentary...and, WHEN I get to Nome, I plan to bring home some keepsakes (including a bottle of Norton Beach sand, and a few flakes of gold, since they allow visitors to pan on the beach and in the surrounding area). But collecting stills, plush figures, lunchboxes, action figures, posters, stand-ups, etc.? Not my thing.

really? They're mine! i would love to have all that stuff from Balto! but anyway, the Balto DVD has a documentery. haven't you got it?

I've got it. The problem is that the DVD copy I have doesn't seem to have the documentary you mentioned. Here is the menu of "bonus features" from mine (the standard Universal packaged DVD):

Where’s The Dog Sled Team? Game
Theatrical Trailer
DVD-ROM Features
DVD Newsletter
Recommendations

What's odd is that I cannot access the DVD-ROM features. And I have Windows XP, and a maxed-out memory on my computer. And a DVD-Rom player. So I don't know. If it's on the DVD-Rom features, then I guess I'm out of luck.

really? thats so cool! i have the trailer and the documentary, thats it. too bad you can't watch it, actully, i think you can download it somewhere on BS, not sure.

I read another post where Steet mentioned the non-U.S. packages (the DVDs). Apparently, the U.S. releases fall short of the non-U.S. releases in terms of their extra features. Which is kind of ironic...considering that Universal Pictures is a U.S.-based company. In any case, no matter WHERE it was released, the material included should have been the same.

Yes the US DVD was very short on all the good stuff that was on other region's DVDs... I'm working on finding a Brazilian copy to purchase that has all that cool stuff on it and it's Widescreen... I can't wait for that... but anyways if you want the documentary shoot me an email at [email protected] and I'll reply back to you with the documentary video for your computer... I got it frome somewhere just can't remember where.

and yes I just found the line in the video we were looking for. I thought it was in there as well just never bothered to look it up ... It was diptheria that the eskimo child had caught too.
