Well, I think it would be better. I don't think there is any Disney movie that is unpopular.

Jenna would've hade blue eyes, and Steele green. Cuz Disney does that xD

I agree owned, the characters would look different yet again .

But even worse, Disney hates wolves,(see my examples below) so there would probably be a whole lot lot of "big bad wolves"in it.


Wolves Attacked Belle in Beauty and the Beast " and in the animated Robin Hood with animals the Solders were wolves, and the evil sheriff was a wolf. Also fairy tails like Peter and the wolf,the three little pigs etc.

To be fair though, Disney may have 'good' wolves in some movies but I haven't seen any.

I agree with Sheba

If Disney created Balto:

-Everyone will burst into song randomly.
-Steele and Balto will have a big showdown for Jenna's heart!
-Steele will die after falling off the cliff, and he will not show any other emotion other than hate and arrogance.
-The wolves would be bad guys, and probably ally themselves with Steele.
-No children would die.

Okay, maybe I was being a bit OTT, but I'm rather glad that Balto is the way it is now. I feel that even though it is not historically accurate, it still handles its subject matter with respect. It ends up being deeper and more serious than your average kids film, thanks to the lack of sing-along numbers and wise-cracking scene-stealing sidekicks. It doesn't underestimate children's intelligence, which is more than I can say for some kids programs these days.

Alot of good pints thereCanis lupus iagree with everthing, especally thewolves being bad guys like imentioned above

I totally agree. Disney did this is in Pocahontas (true story) and Mulan (a legend). All of a sudden, the characters started to sing like it's a musical. It's NOT supposed to be a musical. It's supposed to be an honor of showing history to the young ones out there. To be a musical, I find it disrespectful, for that it never happened in the real event (probably, because I can't see full grown men traveling to North America singing a song on a ship). I'm so glad that Balto is made as Balto from Universal! Also, I don't agree that Disney would made better sequels than Universal, because the songs would be princessy and Steele would come back again, and Jenna would sing about true love. Gack. I'm thankful, thankful, thankful, and very thankful that Universal made Balto and the sequels.

Well its more of a Disagree and Agree probably even if Disney made Balto the same or what ever changes they make. Their BRAND NAME is stronger then any thing else and people would be attracted to it as it's known World Wide. Due to its musical and other interests added. That's why the original's are called Disney's Classics. Here's an Example Disney, Little Mermaid And All Dogs Go To Heaven released pretty much in the same year both in 1989. Due to Disney's brand name quality and wide popularity. All Dogs Go To heaven wasn't even Given the popularity it deserved. It doesn't even come on T.v now a days. Even though it had a way better story line then Disney's little Mermaid. So mainly If Disney made Balto Yes it would gain more popularity and yes will be better known and there would be people liking Balto even more, but the feeling and emotion possibly made from the original movie will not be seen and the Disney Version will stray more then the original about the real story, but hears one thing Disney has its good and bad music as well. "Why should i Worry" from Oliver and Company was a really good one even "Streets of Gold." So depending on what the songs and rhythm of the music they choose that decides whether it makes it Lame or good.

welll maybe will be better because Disney have a lot more of publicity for their movies, but in an animated way, univerlsal and Steven Spilberg´s amblimation it´s better.

50/50 chance. It`s hard to decide, but I want to see if they can pull it off.

well there's two sides to this.
A (the good side): There might be "Better" voice actors, stick a little bit more to the story,and maybe have a catchy song or to
B (the bad side): There could be "Very bad" voice actors, the plot maybe all screwy, Alue maybe more annoying than usual, The squeals maybe horrible, and what's worse of all is that the movie maybe a MUSICAL!! DD8
