Now I don't really like it as much, and the VHS is all worn out from me playing it so much. Didnt do much for the soundtracks in this movie. Muru did MUCH better doing a single than Stella with musicals. Everything Flies wouldve done better with not just sopranos, maybe they shouldve taken a page from WQ. LOL. I did the same thing with the VHS, just except it was WQ. Now I have the DVD, so I dont haveta worry about it.

I enjoyed it. It's has a bit more of the real Balto feeling to it than WQ did. It didn't have magic and it didn't stray completely away from what the real life story is about. I really liked the new characters and thought they made it a fun movie to watch. Of course, the animation sucked just as bad as the 2nd one and it would have been better if they had gotten rid of Stella and the songs. I'd say it's a definite improvement. Honestly though, it would have been better if they had not created any sequals and just let Balto shine alone. The only good thing that has come from the sequals in my opinion are the puppies which have created a small basis for what fictional-Balto's life after the serum run was like which fans have incorporated into fanfictions.

Honestly, my first reaction was disappointment. There was too much goofy sidekicking and not enough good stuff. The stuff with Stella - especially the musical number she does - nearly made me puke. There were also problems with the score, like putting happy circus music on top of a scene that was supposed to be serious, i.e. getting sucked downstream and their lives are in danger. That being said though, I still think it's better than WQ. They each have their problems, but WoC at least seems to try to get back to what made Balto great, even if it doesn't succeed.
I've only watched this movie once all the way through. I couldn't stand to sit through it again. I've gone back and watched scenes from it and fast forwarded through the rest of them, but that's about it. Unfortunately, to me this movie isn't any better than any of the other DTV sequels like Land Before Time 3,725: Completely Out of Original Ideas. And that's why I was disappointed, because I expected better from a sequel to a truly great movie. It just sort of feels like it's an insult to the years of intense, back breaking work it took to make Balto.
But that's the entertainment industry for you I guess.

The first time I laid eyes on that movie I was like whoa, I got to see that movie. After that...eh...it was okay but it got boring during when I watched it the third time.

I though the animation in WoC was better but I liked WQ better because I found the storyline in WoC boring.

I was kinda disappointed, I was hoping it would pick up were WQ ended with Aleu but WoC was okay.
