Animation Source Forums

Ok, I'm sorry. Swords of wolves i'm sorry about my earlyer post. BaltoSeppala i'm sorry aswell all I was doing was speaking my opinion and I wasnt trying to be rude to Swords of wolves. So I will say it in a more kind matter.

Swords of wolves, In B2 they said Jenna was a pure bred husky so I dont think she's mixed with anything. At the time they wanted to make Jenna look daintey so the made her legs and paws really small and skinny. If you look you'll notice that through out the sequals she gets more bulkey so to say.

Right now, I'm just glad this didn't turn into the flame war of BaltoSeppala and wolfhound. But enough of that.

Yes, wolfhound, I do realize that the Balto movies are cartoons. It's just that I saw a husky when I was out and about, and I thought, "Wow, after seeing that husky, how could Jenna's legs be so skinny?" Of course I was aware that the animators were just doing that to make Jenna look feminine, that's why I mentioned that in my first post. Apparently, I guess I thought that mabye there were some huskies that did look like that. I can safely assume now that they probably don't.

Glad that's over. I know it's a cartoon, just saying.. The purebred husky I seen looked alot like Jenna in body wise. Maybe bigger legs, but then again.. it's a cartoon. Can't expect it to look perfect, and plus, Jenna looks so pretty with skinny legs and little tiny paws.

You'd be amazed there are some huskies that are very simular in color its just on balto they blew it out of proportion. Bet here's a husky with some pretty skinny legs.

Skinny legged Huskies.


They made Jenna's paws wayy too small but here's a photo of a kinda small pawed husky.

I'm sure most of you know that the Jenna animator based his designs on Audrey Hepburn.




And since in animation they stylize the characters (usually), they made Jenna's overall size, and paws smaller to be more lady-like, delicate. It is also quite obvious that all paws drawn in the movie do NOT work in real life, just an artistic decision. (This is why I have never questioned how Jenna broke her paw in the middle of the movie)

Yes, Wikipedia's a wonderful site, is it not?

...Altough, I, personally, don't see any correlation.

Balto Wolfdog,then I'd prefer not to be a part of the Jenna a husky dispute,or start another one.

Precisely, which is why I'm sure everyone should know it, if it is on Wikipedia.

Meh, I think her eye and eyebrows show some similirarities.

Yeah, I kinda see a resemblance there.

Jenna is a husky. Some huskys can be pretty small. I've seen then compaired to my husky alot smaller.

well, isnt she a pure siberian husky?

yes she is and although ive never seen a husky except for some pictures i agree that jenna is a normal husky im done with this topic now.
