As the year comes to a close, Balto/Lion King Sorce has been on for about three or four years now.

So with all this time that has gone by...who has made the greatest contribution to Balto/The Lion King in terms of spreading there merits to others, so far? (That goes for fans and especially non-fans)

And yes, there is the petition, YouTube, art and so on...but in the end, just how inspiring have the fans become from this point on?


So I want to hear from you and tell who you think is the most influential fan so far and why.


This post will also show how well fans know other fans.


For me, I would have to choose Metal Head For Christ AKA Peter Dunn. I'am surprised how he's not talked about alot, when someone like him has done so much. Just him having Jackets with Kodi and Star on them, is enough to spread the name of Balto without even saying a word and to make people wonder. Then add that with him having concerts with Balto images there & Making a 3...3! disk cd soundtracks about the films made by him, makes Peter, a person TO talk about for years. What the main idea that makes pete stand out is....socalising.

Now Steet has done good as well by keeping Balto/Lion king alive, but he has stayed with-in the fandom. The more social it is, the more will be a part of it & the bigger it will be.


When people look back on the legacy of Balto/Lion King, they will not be remembered for what they where, but for what they did.

For what it did for all the people who experience it and to see how these (more then films) changed lives.

I think that all the fans for Balto and The Lion King were all very(and equally) important to spreading the news of Balto whether it was by wearing jackets with the characters on them(I do think it's pretty cool though/where can I get one?) or making this site, or just by being here and asking people to check this place out; we all have helped make this to be successful in both big and small ways and that's why I everybody deserves a big round of applause for trying and putting in a great effort!!

I think out of the two films Balto has and will change the most lives even if it didn't have an awesome fan community because so many people can relate to the themes in it , and there are some people alive who probably did get help from the real Balto when the serum run took place so it actually has changed real people's lives which I think adds to it's success and popularity.

This is the best answer anyone could come up with, thank you whitewolf17

Really? That's so nice of ya to say. This is what I was talking about in my post: One of the reasons why I think this place is so influential is especially how nice the people like ya are on the forums here.

That's one way why everyone makes Balto more of a success is just by creating a welcoming atmosphere which helps bring people in and keep the ones already on here.
