The storyline is ok but they could have left Stella out of Balto three. It was interesting to see Kodi with his dog sled team so it wasn't all that bad.I do agree however that the animation Is getting better, but I hate it when they used 2d instead of regular hand drawings like they used to do in Balto one*sighs* can't get that good animation anymore.

I was like Woah.

I just saw it yesterday.

One thing i didnt get...

When they were trying to survive going down the river... trying not to die... The music... Didnt even MATCH what was happening.

A serious scene, with music like they were having FUN? that was odd.

Silly music does NOT go with a serious scene. that was a major flaw with the movie.

Seriously, i could do without stella too... she was freaking ODD. SHe kind of ruined the movie a bit.

Balto 2 was a better sequal than Balto 3.

I remember i was very curious to watch it, because i had seen some Kody's pictures on the web and i found him absolutely awesome. But, when i had the opportunity to watch the movie on tv it nearly disgusted me. My first thought was "Is that a Balto movie or what?". I remember how faschinated i was when i saw Balto on vhs on a Christmas days so many years ago and the sequels couldn't convey me the same emoctions. The plot is extremely "flat" and doesn't mean anything. It could have been more interesting, you know, the story of a new mail delivering sistem instead of "slow" sleds and so on. The impression i got is that WoC's producers just cared about time (doing it in a rush) and didn't pay so much attention to the animation and the characters. Yeah, i like Kody but has he got the same charisma of Balto or Steel in the first movie?

Was it as good as the original, no. But overall I liked the movie not one of my all time favorites but deffinatley something I would watch again. I did think it was better than WQ. I really would've liked it if they would have made a reference to Aleu or if she actually had a part in the movie. Not a main part maybe a part like Jenna, who you know who she is but doesn't get to indepth. But I did think the stroyline was pretty godd. And I also liked the ending Balto got to live his dream of being able to fly.

On a scale of 1-10 I give it 7, thought it was good not great, would and will watch it again.

Pretty much what I was gonna say, I really liked Kodi when I first saw him,but afterwards I kinda lost interest in the movie.

I think that it was good, I just liked the other Balto movies more.

If you want a more intriguing plot you may want to watch Balto 2: Wolf Quest if you haven't already (and from what you just said I guess you have not). Tecnically speaking it's not as good as WoC (animation, characters, soundtrack etc), but I liked it better than the third movie because of its awesome ending. On the countrary the producer of Balto 3 (which is the same of Balto 2) decided to build a simple and clean story without the ambition of creating an award-winning story, and I think that the film is enjoyable because of this.


Oh I've watched Balto 2 when i was younger and more than once. And yeah, i remember i liked it very much. But maybe it's because now i've become a bit sceptical about sequels in general so this behaviour has influenced my movie's opinion.
When i was younger i pratically dindn't care about the animation's process and the production that is behind movies, so i used to apreciate the plot even if it was simple. Well maybe i could not understand the difference between a complicated plot and a simple one, but i loved Wolf Quest because it deals with wolves and dogs at the same time. I remember i used to bother my younger brother because i always wanted to rent this film while he couldn't stand it :P

I literally just got done watching this movie, so my initial reaction is still very fresh in my mind. ;D

My thoughts? "Well, it was decent, and mildly entertaining." I think the story had potential to be greater than it was, but I think the main problem in this movie resulted from Stella and her subplot romance with Boris. She was an annoying character that didn't really serve much purpose at all in the film, and if she had been cut out, then there would've been more time to develop Kodi (something that I think this movie REALLY needed to work on).
The animation was pretty good, but the music could've been much better.

So all in all... WoC wasn't a bad movie, but it was nowhere near being a great one either. I haven't seen Wolf Quest since I was a kid, so I'm not sure if I can compare the two fairly, but I think this one wasn't as good as WQ.

My first reaction was when the other sled dogs refused to help balto find duke.

I thought i weas pretty good. It was more close to the first one. I aslo like that we got to meet new charecters like Dusty. God is she beautiful. The only real problem I saw with this movie was Stella (Duh!).

I remember that I pretty much enjoeyed it, mostly because I liked the fact that another Balto's son was shown but I was disgusted by Stella, I remember that I've skipped the part where she was signing, and I still do when I watch the movie, plus I don't liked the way that Muk and Luk were made, like two whiny pups...

I was disappointed :x I was boring and as with WQ it was only about one pup, I was expecting to know more about the others.

Stella was fun tho, but people don't seem to like her because she either got a lot of movie attention or because she is not a canine 83 or both XD

Interested, but it took me five years after the movie was released to get it, sit down and watch the movie and not just clips.
