Now everyone was happy when balto 1 came out, then when balto 2 came out everyone was dissapointed. balto 3 no one really liked, but it was a tad popular. So now everyone wants a balto 4, what is that going to mean, we BEG AND BEG AND BEG. it will not succed, however back on the rant: if the other two movies were dissapointments, what gives balto 4 a chance that it wont be? if we beg and get what we want, and it turns out TO BE a dissapointment, what are we going to do? diss the balto movies as be always do? make bloopers and find it funny?
And then what? Are we going to BEG for a BALTO 5?

what do you think?

Well, I did like B3 and many people did. You just have to consider these sequels for what they are (low budget DTV sequel), and stop comparing them to the original one because they obviously can't reach the same level.
You have never seen me complaining about the fact they made sequels. Complaining that they didn't put a higher budget, yes, but not that they made sequels.
As I often say, they shouldn't give numbers to these DTV sequels. This way, I'm sure they would be much better considered, because they would see them as stories to extend the original one, just like the fans do with the fanfics for example.

Technically they did'nt, they were called Balto: Wolf Quest and Balto: Wings of Change, we fans call them Balto 2 and Balto 3.

Universal are'nt gonna waste money making a Balto 4 no matter how much we beg, only way they will is if they think they can gain a profit in doing so and the sequels were low-budget and they did'nt have the same animation teams working on them so it's not much of a surprise they looked different to Balto 1 and as cheap sequels go I've seen much worse and the stories were'nt all that bad considering they were kinda just a way of making some quick, easy money.

I'm pretty sure that on the US versions of the covers I saw they said Balto: Wolf Quest and Balto: Wings of Change...

They say II and III. I have them both. xD They just aren't as good as other versions of it. (Full-screen only and stuff like that. >.>)

They did add numbers on the covers, and everytime they talk about the films. Maybe WE should stop calling them with the numbers too, this could change your opinion...


Other versions of what? The sequels are only in full screen, everywhere. No widescreen version has ever been released for these two.


They did make a good profit with Wolf Quest, otherwise they wouldn't have made another sequel. And I'm sure that they made a profit with Wings of change, but probably not as much as expected. Considering the low budget and no marketing campaign, they can only have made benefits, even small.
