the only time when i shed a tear was the ending

The ending scene almost made me cry because i knew that the movie was coming to a close....(why did the film have to be so quick!?)

I thought it would be a combinarion of the strings and the scene that would activate the tear ducts.

I have no recollection of ever having cried during a movie. But I do love the endings of both Balto 1 and WQ. The first one is mainly because of just the simplicity of the scene, combined with the realization that the old woman actually is Rosy and the beautiful opening chords of "Reach For The Light."

I liked the ending of Wolf Quest for a very similar reason: the music, again, was amazing. My favorite part of he entire score was the string melody that was played when Aleu was floating away on the ice floe.

The beginning of "Reach for the Light" makes me cry, as does the ending of WQ......BUT I really liked the ending of WoC, the postcard credits were a nice touch.

not really

The ending of Wolf Quest, man.

The whole flashback with all the scenes from Aleu's life...
It's the most powerful thing out of all the films I think, if second only to Balto howling with Aniu in the first film.

When things really come together, like when you realize the old woman is Rosie in Balto 1 and when Aniu is Balto's mother in Wolf Quest, those make you go "that's awesome" and appreciate the film more but they shouldn't make you cry.

I cried with the flashbacks scene too, that whole scene of the ''good-bye'' thing made me cry like a baby. In the third, i cried with the ''You don't have to be a hero'' song, it have really touching lyrics, along with the Heritage of the Wolf scene in the first movie, i not cried at all, i only have very intense emotions during them.

Yes I did cry at the end of Balto 2 when balto was saying goodbye to Aleu.And when they put in the flashback it was more touching.Saying goodbye is hard,but I still say it was a good movie.

i actually don't want to see the first and second movies simply because they make me feel so much emotions inside. the way balto gets mistreated, the balto and jenna scenes, the howling scene, the ending, grandma rosie, balto 2's beginning with the newborn puppies, aleu and balto bonding, middle where aleu hating on her father and running away, the songs, and end,where aleu saying goodbye to her father, the flashbacks, the short lived moment between aniu and balto, then, everyone has left. you the viewer are left alone as the camera zooms up to the pane and darken into the credits, to soak in what you just saw, to question how balto's gonna tell jenna the sad news. Balto's role as a father now done. the probability that II could have been a lot better, then the indian chant like song in the credits. X( all of the feels.

I'm not sure if I actually cried during any scene from any movie, but I was certainly emotionally moved, particularly during the animated climax of the original. I have a 'thing' where I don't re-watch my favourite movies... at least not for years, because I always want them to surprise me; to present me with something which is fresh like the first time.

What I remember, for some reason, is other people crying.

I watched Balto in Tasmania at the cinema in I guess 1996. What I remember from that first viewing was the guy in the row behind me. He was about early to mid 30's and had two young kids - both girls about 5-8 I think. What I remember is that he was crying like a kid in the last scene, and at the same time trying to be a guy and not cry in front of his kids, who WEREN'T crying.

In 2001 I was staying with a friend in San Diego and played the movie to him on laser disc. He was generally very withdrawn emotionally, but I could tell he was choking back tears in the same scene. He later told me he considered the movie a 10/10 (we were renting movies on alternate nights for about 2 months, and that was the only one which scored a ten)

Loop

I cried in Wolf Quest, when Balto said, "Goodbye to you, too, Mother."

May i say something?
A couple of hours ago, B3 was broadcasted here in Mexico. I've watched it with my brother, when the You Don't Have to be a Hero song was played, we cried so strong that my mother needed to calm us down.

Seriously

I cried a little when Grandma Rosie said, "Thank you Balto. I'd be lost without you." and when "Reach For the Light" played at the end of the first movie.
Also, when I first saw Wolf Quest, I cried at the end when Balto said good-bye to Aleu and had the flashbacks of the previous years.

I don't remember crying while watching any Balto movie, although I think I came pretty close when I watched the ending of WQ for the first time. To this day, that ending always gets to me the most out of all the movies.
