Ok this is a question ive often asked balto fans and several think it's balto's mother. But in the 1st movie she is in there but we never find out if its a female, or male. In WQ we see another White wolf or is it the same? Is the mysterious white wolf in Balto 1 Aniu?
I think it is. They may not look alike but you have to consider that the artists have changed. There was a new drawer and everything. If you notice the fur on her nose is the same on both movies. The ears are the same. Well shape wise anyway. The fur has changed and is less thick but again i think this is becouse the artist wasn't quite talented enough to get her looking exactly as in the 1st film.
I know the movie came out years after the first movie but the writers could have taken the white wolf and made up the plot that it was balto's mother.
When steele says "ive got a message for you mother" then howls i think this also ties in with this subject.
look at these to screen shots. They look alike in many ways but different is some.
