Well on 8th may (the day before i joined the forum) i was at the renting store where yo urent/buy games/movies (Blockbusters)

I was looking for a game to buy preowned and came across a few, when dad had to go get somethnig out the car and i was already bored of looking at the games i went to the animation section as i was becoming a fan (my first watch was lionking then i was hooked on animation) and i saw alot of other disney and was bored and need of a new movie to watch. i looked about but only found some to kiddy or i already seen or weird ones i doubt id like. then i saw o n this cover a dog and when i picked it up it was called Balto. I read it and looked for abit and got quite interested and thought might aswel give it a try. so rented it, brought it home. then i hesitated cause i always feel lil odd watching movies i aint heard of. so i looked on google for quick thing, Found this lil info thing. then i found the forum. seeing so many fans i decided to watch. I loved the movie like any other. but it wasnt till two scenes that made me Snap and fall in love with the movie ( like i did for lion king ) Next day. i joined! so thats basicly how i got to the forum and watched balto.

was on Dvd at the rent store and also when i taken it back i bought it ^^ worth it i think

I guess you can say I rediscovered this wonderful movie. I was searching for an All Dogs Go To Heaven fansite and found one and it was this one and they had an area for Balto too. As I just read the name Balto I remember watching this movie when I was younger and absolutley loving it just like what happened to me with the All Dogs movie. So I know I needed to go buy so I went everywhere. I even went to Woodfield mall to the FYE which is like an hour from where I live. When I was driving home from Woodfied, I passed a local video store that had a giant sign that read, "GOING OUT OF BUSINESS, EVERYTHING MUST GO!" I went in to see if they had the movie. I didn't see it on the shelf so I asked the cashier if they have Balto in stock and she said we do. She brought me over to the same area I was at before and it wasn't there and I overheard some people talking and they basically said I found the movie Balto. The cashier at that moment had to help another customer, I didn't leave and when I was walking throgh the store I saw the same couple that said I found the movie Balto carrying nothing and walking out. When I was walking down the isle I look up and there it was like it was meant to be. As soon as I got home I popped the movie into the DVD player and watched and absolutley fell in love with it. Can't wait to see the others!!!

Too bad the Balto DVD is very rare in normal stores, and your story confirms it. However, if you want to see Balto 2 and 3, you can easily buy them on Amazon, e-bay and other online shops.

Too bad you guys don't have an Wal*Mart like mine then, my local one has Balto individually and in a DVD trilogy pack!
I already had the third on DVD when it first came out, but the first two I have are on VHS, so I kinda recently got them on DVD now too ^^

I played game WolfQuest and when I tried to find how to get a mate in google, I randomly saw Balto. I downloaded the movie (torrents) and watched it, and then got the second and third.

Oh man haha, my mom took me to see Balto in theatres when I was around 6 or 7 years old. For years I forgot about it then stumbled upon it one day in an old TV guide. I decided to rent It a day or 2 after looking in the guide. Made me feel like a kid again when I watched it. :mrgreen:

How I got interested in Balto was from a dream where Aleu and Jenna were in. :)

My dad took me to see Balto the first day it was released in theaters, so I've been hooked ever since then.
