I haven't seen any movies in the trilogy on TV this entire year. Where can I find out when/if they're showing?

<EDIT> Yay, I made it to Balto Spirit!

The original Balto film usually airs around Christmas here in the UK, on either ITV or Channel five.

Internet! I'm sure that somewhere you can find out when they're going to show Balto again.

I've got no idea where to look. IMDB doesn't seem to show it.
<EDIT> Found it on TV Guide, but it only shows it for 14 days into the future.

I saw Balto 1 on one of my starz cable packages about a month ago or so.

It rarely airs in France, even on non-public channels. The last time it aired on the french public channels was in 2005.

Cartoon Network hasn't shown ANY animated movies for quite some time now though. One of the Disney channels showed Wings of Change in April or May I think.

Yes! It's almost always on the movie channels on Sky.

BBC Radio Times always give it a nice rating =]

Wow, a positive rating from a media source? It always gets like a C from every source.

And I can't really understand why. Sure, it isn't a perfect movie, but it deserves a lot more than a C. Maybe they base their mark on how well the movie went in cinemas?

Not perfect? Surely not, but I haven't seen a single movie that I'd rate higher than it. I think the media sources just judged it with an irrational criteria since it was a hand-animated that went up against Toy Story.

For exemple Paolo Mereghetti (the most important Italian reviewer) gave Balto 2.5 out of 4 (considering that he's VERY strict, it's a really good mark) saying that "it's better than most Disney cartoons in 90s, but it lacked of marketing that is necessary to make the movie famous".

They factor in marketing when they judge movies?
