I cannot comprehend how any of you would think that Maurice LaMarche did a bad job with Balto (those of you who said as much, or implied it). He's a veteran of cartoon voicing, and is able to express a full range of emotion and personality with his voice. And I thought he did an excellent job as Balto...MUCH better than Kevin Bacon (who sounded little better than Kevin Costner in ANY role...dry, monotone, and boring). LaMarche brought some real feeling to Balto...gentle wisdom, kindness, tenderness, and benevolent authority. He made me feel like THAT Balto could be real!
I also don't see how LaMarche's rendering of Balto could be viewed as "younger-sounding" than Kevin Bacon's...or higher-pitched. LaMarche clearly added a gravely quality to Balto's voice, presumably to demonstrate the fact that he had aged.
Maurice LaMarche...hands down.
Yup, I agree with you 100% BS ^_^ Isee no point in saying what has already been said
