How old do you think Balto is? I think he is about maybe fourish.... What about Jenna and everyone else. I think Jenna is about three or four. We know that Aleu is about a little over one. And Steel is probably about maybe three to fiveish, due to his careless, self-obsessed personality. Kodiak is, like his sister, Aleu, about oneish. So tell me what you think.

I think he's about 4 or 5 years old.

I'd have to say that Balto is seven years old.

in the cartoon he looks not much older bu in the real life I think 7-8 years

Big dogs are considered middle-aged by 7 and 8 years old, so I doubt that was Balto's age the the movie.

This post is for how old YOU think he is, not who ever made him. You really think he's 7??! He is not that old, is he? We know he has pups, and he's been in that town for some now, so with all of the facts and stuff he's about 3-6 as Jersey Captain had pointed out. He looks about the age of a middle age father, he is at his prime. Prime for humans is about 40 and he has teenage pups at one time, so yeah, about 3-6 in wolf years, and about 30-50 in human years.

Balto I thought was three, along with Jenna. Steele was probably four, and Aleu was on the verge of turning two.

i think around 2-3 when the first movie aired but around the secound and thrid movies he's round 3-6. alue and kodi i'd say a year and half, jenna not much older then Balto, and steel because of the comment his owner (or who ever said it) i 4get what he says but i no he menions his age. I think steel's around 5 or 6

Maybe, he's 6 years old. Perhaps,...

Ok I gotta step in here, Jersey I can see the point on most of your posts, you do have this very big thing against personalising a movie. There's nothing wrong with leaving a movie as it is as it keeps what the writers gave you and the animators shown you clear and consice in their movie. However some people do enjoy questioning unseen parts to a movie or adding in their own thoughts about characters or even the aftermath of a movie or beforehand.

Yes you have clearly given your point on the REAL Balto's age and not of the cartoon Balto's as you deem it irrelevant. However please remember that to a lot of people these sorts of random questions, whilst holding little to no point or value to the story of the films are actually a lot of fun to people and they enjoy answering or discussing them. In all fairness a lot of these random question topics aren't very well thought up but some of them do actually make people go "Hmm, I wonder if..." when they are presented with a good question or idea.

So whilst you may deem the guessing of the cartoon Balto's age a great waste of time remember that to many others on this site (like me in some parts) we enjoy answering and have a good deal of fun giving our own points on the cartoon Balto out of the movie even though we know full well it matters little to the actual storyline.

And to add my thought, I like to think he's around 5-6 years old in WQ
