I was thinking Alue returning to Nome, put the rest of Balto's kids in one movie, and make a happy ending for Balto, Jenna, their kids, Boris, Muk and Luk.

Err, Balto wasn't alive by then, and I think that would make horrible movie.

I still say Aleu will return to Nome and put the rest of Balto's kids in the move. Balto still needs a good happy ending. Come on, how's with me?

You don't need to say your opinion more than once.

I like it but didn't she find her place with the wolfpack. She can't abandon them?

The time setting would take place a year after Balto 3. (1929) The setting would mainly be in Soviet Russia.
Aleu and her pack traveled there by ice in Balto 2.

Plot: Balto and his friends (I'm still thinking who would come) would try to rescue Aleu and as much wolf members of her pack and safely move back to Alaska.

Why?

Because Aleu had to step down for another wolf (native to Russia) who is power hungry. Soon, many members of the pack are poisoned by the lures of the benefits of his speeches. Soon, the Russian wolf has added many new wolves to the pack to be used as undercover informers to inform the Russian wolf of anyone who may be a likely "enemy" to the pack. Aleu was betrayed by the Russian wolf because he was found by Aleu's pack as a beaten up wolf. The Russian wolf quickly gained Aleu's favor and "stabbed her in the back", sending Aleu into exile. Balto's job would be to rescue Aleu and many members of the pack who aren't loyal to the wolf and help them go back to Alaska, where they start over. But, the journey back would be difficult for Balto and the wolves because there is a vast space of ocean between Russia and Alaska.
This movie would be a suspence/action type movie.

Title: (I'm still working on this) Balto 4. The Betrayal.

So what do you guys think?

(Absolutely NO offence NOR controversy is intended from this post.)

And how would Balto know Aleu was in trouble? And where to find her?



Political content should not enter a movie, it has no place in a Balto movie. This idea also sounds rather violent.




F

I kill communism with fire, axes, riffles and tanks. Answer yourself.

Oh, great. Russophobes everywhere. You forget add what Bad Russian Wolf works in KGB and his hobby is play on Balalaika. Even if forget for a moment about patriotism you story still bad. Animals apolitical, even speaking.

Well, if i made Balto 4.... Hmm, Aleu's back, i guess. Maybe it would be meanless, but i want this. Also would be worth to introduce other children of Balto. And... 4th should be last. With happy end of course.

Instead of a communist style thing. FORGET that the word communism ever NEVER mentioned.
How about a plot where Aleu and her pack finds a beat up lone wolf and takes care of him because she wants to expand her pack. The wolf turns out to be very nice and tried to contribute as much as he could to the pack. As time passes on, the wolf gains power and grows higher in rank. Soon, the wolf is at the highest rank possible, but is one rank short of the leader (Aleu's rank). The wolf tried to find a fault in Aleu that would throw Aleu off the leader rank. When he did, Aleu is held as a prisoner. The wolf just wanted power all this time and to lead the pack by finding a fault in Aleu. The wolf starved the pack, and he only fed food to the wolves that are loyal to him. Aleu managed to have a secret messenger. Aleu told the messenger to go to Balto and tell him to send help.The messenger is very loyal to Aleu, and managed to escape unharmed. After the messenger successfully completed the long journey, he tells Balto everything Aleu had told him. Balto and his friends (I still haven't figured out who would go) go to where Aleu's pack is and gathered up as much wolves that are still loyal to Aleu. There would be a conflict between the Aleu loyalists and the loyalists of the new wolf as Balto tries to help Aleu escape. After Balto's team wins, they return back to Alaska because all the game migrated there because the wolf drove them out in order to starve the pack. Overall, it has a happy ending.

Now, is that better than my last plot?

Um... you don't have to "say" communism to "suggest" communism. Your idea is boring for a kid's film. Oh. And this is a BALTO 4 movie idea. Not an Aleu 2 movie idea. Besides, we already have a movie like that. It's called fricken ANIMAL FARM.

I say that if my intergalactic god gave me the dangerous assignment of "making" a Balto 4, including animate it, voice it, sound effects, music, writing and storyboarding, then I would make a wonderfully chilling tale about Balto who wakes up in a dark castle. He doesn't remember anything, but he left himself notes all around the castle, telling himself that something is after him and that he cannot defend himself. Wait, that's Amnesia.

How about this, Balto gets recognized for his awesome singing voice, and when he gets popular, he ends up rejecting his friends and then in the end learn he's-- wait, that's Fox and the Hound 2.

A few things I'm sick of seeing in peoples' "ideas" for a fourth Balto movie. "Aleu returning" is stupid. Her story is done. She's gone. MOVE. ON.

Another thing I'm sick of seeing is "STEELE'S REVENGE" does an ENTIRE MOVIE need to focus on the fact that you don't like Steele? Or, sorry, that Steele doesn't like Balto? It'd be a good subplot, but THE ENTIRE plot of the movie? Please. We all know you hate Steele. Shut up.

One more thing I'm sick of seeing is basically any plot that doesn't have Balto as a main character. Examples: Kodi's relationship progressing with Dusty, Aleu coming back, or unnamed pup number 2 is given something to do. A compelling idea for a sequel is NOT Balto 2, just without Aleu and starring one of Balto's other kids. No one cares about your fan characters more than the movie's namesake.

But no, in reality, I'd probably combine the "Finish this freaking mess and let Balto movies die" with answering some questions. Balto's other kids are shown having very fulfilling lives with their humans, all the while Balto showing how proud he is of all of them. The rest of his pups (now grown) show up and bring up the question of Balto's past. Balto struggles to remember it, but embarks on a quest by himself, along the way seeing images that flash back to his parents and Balto's childhood until reaching Nome and meeting Boris. Eventually Balto will return to his family feeling a little more complete.

Not to sound mean, if I were assigned to the project I would either do what catwhohas14tails came up with (removing the part about him struggling to remember) or cancel it alltogether. Balto doesn't need another sequel, honestly.

The thought of another sequel makes me sick.

Don't think that I expect a Balto 4 movie to come up. Balto is SO esoteric that I seriously have NO hope of a Balto movie to come up anytime soon. What I just wrote back there was a mere suggestion of what may never never happen; Another sequel to Balto. This topic is about using your imagination to come up with a make-believe plot of a Balto 4 that will never happen. Even though I doubt there would be a Balto 4, it doesn't hurt to try to guess what the plot might be.

I agree with Cat. I know you all like Aleu, but "Aleu's return" ideas are boring for a sequel idea. Like she said, the movie is called "Balto", not "Aleu".

The most interesting would be a prequel of Balto's past. It would answer many, many questions. Who were his parents? What happened to them? How he was "adopted" by Boris? How he get to Nome? Now that would be interesting!
