Iron Will (1994)

Well, I've been a member here for some time now, and *gasp* to my horror, there is nothing stated about the '94 Walt Disney Studios film Iron Will. Like Balto, it is loosely based on a true story. It's about a young man, Will Stoneman. His father dies suddenly, and they need money to maintain the family farm. Thus, his father's dogs - including the white Siberian who doesn't care too much for Will and the feeling is mutual - and Will are suddenly caught up in a dogsled race to St. Paul. During the race, Will's and his team's lives are placed into constant danger.

I saw that movie, and I must say it was most impressive!

It is a good film, it just gets overlooked *sigh*

On my White Fang VHS (it was recorded from TV at around 1994) there's multiple ads for Iron Will. I haven't seen it anywhere here, though.

I found the copy I watched at the library. You check there? Even if you can't find it at yours, some states have a network so you can borrow materials from other libraries through your own. Hope this helps.

I really want to see that movie. And I too wonder why there wasnt a topic of Iron Will yet, it has a Husky in it, and this site is totally crazy about thta breed. Makes me wonder why.. :lol:

Well me thinks it's because it was made in 94, and isn't animated. But come on, the plots are pretty similar. Long time ago, my sister got Balto for Christmas, and I got Iron Will - so it was like 97 or 98 >>.

There's also Malamutes in there

They're the super fluffy ones.

It's a no go. Sucks.

No inter-library loans either, huh? Well, you could always try Blockbuster, I guess.

They do have inter-library loans, but they don't have Iron Will. Ugh.

I see. But did you try to find out? Another library might have it in your state, and you could borrow theirs for your library. Or did you mean that they couldn't find it with any of their associates either?

No associates whatsoever. The libraries are run by the local council for the area, and they don't exchange with libraries from different council areas.
