Animation Source Forums

There are millions of of animated movies out there, so out of all those millions of movies, why did you choose Balto or/and it's sequals?

These are my reasons:

Balto
-The animation is beautiful and I would classify it as a form of art
-It's based on a true story which makes it even more amazing because there are some people in the world today who wouldn't have been alive if it hadn't been for that dog
-Balto is another reason for liking the Balto movies; I like the fact that he is part wolf because I have a mini obsession with wolves and I like his bravery (plus I think he's cute)
-I like Jenna because I think she's a good role model and a very strong character
-Steel may not be the most evil villain and he's probably not the most interesting that I've come across in animated movies, but he works and I don't think that anyone could do better

Balto Wolf Quest
-Interesting father/daughter relationship which I can relate to
-More spiritual than the other Balto movies
-Fantastic music
-Aleu is a character who I think we can all relate to in some way
-I like the theme of growing up and going a seprate way to your parents which is something that most people have to face at some point in their life

Balto Wings of Change
-The animation is beautiful and much closer to the origonal
-Balto and Jenna had a more of an important role in this movie
-I like the whole sled racing theme (though I have never seen a real sled race)
-The father/son relationship was interesting
-The music was great
-I liked the way there was no real enemy because it made it different and more interesting

Your thoughts are the exact same is mine Clever topic!

I don't really know to be honest. The fact that it's a true story, and I could really connect with the characters. I know why in my mind. I just can't put it into words.

I connect with it too. It's strange because I have no connections with it, I have never been to Nome (or Alaska for that matter), I haven't seen the statue because I haven't been to New York, I don't know anyone who was saved by Balto and the other dogs in the Dipheria scare and yet I like it for an invisble connection as well as all the reasons listed above.

You mean we need a reason?

My thoughts exactly.

The reasons I like all the Balto movies are..........

1.The relationship between Balto,and Jenna.

2.The father/daughter relationship,until the end of Balto 2.

3.The father/son relationship of Balto/Kodi.

The reason I like Balto? Probally because it left me with such an impactful message as a child. What I got out of it is that no matter where you come from, as long as you're doing the right thing you will always succeed. Plus the animation is beautiful and the characters are classic.

The resaon I like Wolf Quest And Wings Of Change? Probally because I simply loved Balto so much. When you really love a movie you end up liking the sequels, no matter what quality they are. Luckily I think Wolf Quest and Wings of Change are pretty good movies, but if they had been terrible I probally still would have liked them because I love Balto so much.

Topic moved to Balto 1.

Well first off I LOVE BALTO and I won a muk plush toy from balto. . . so excited

The real question is why wouldn't someone like Balto?

The reason I love Balto is that he saved thousands of lives.

Well I can list many reasons, but the biggest ones to me are the soundtrack and the animation.
