If you could change anything from Balto 3 what would it be???

First, the animation : it is better than WQ, but still not at the level of the original, or even of the two last DTV sequels from Disney (Mulan 2 & TLK 1 1/2)
Second, remove at least Stella's song, and why not Stella herself.
Third, make it less for children. (for some scenes)
Fourth, a love story would have been a good addition and could have fit somewhere...(I'm not counting Boris & Stella of course)

Mmm, can't think of anything else...

Get rid of Stella and smooth out some of the rough spots in the animation. Oh and dump those two polar bears off a cliff or something. Change some of the jazz to more of a classical type music as it was in the first.

LOL, yeah, Muk & Luk can get annoying.
I would have Steele, Star, Kaltag, and Nikki be in it if I could change B3.

Well, you don't want to hurt the bears now, do ya? LOL Besides, without them, Balto wouldn't have known about the plane crashing and things could have really gotten tragic. But the bears weren't too bad, so I think I wouldn't change them.

Now, Stella . . . . her song has to go. She can stay though!

I agree with the animation and the jazz music during the whitewater scene (I actually thought it was kinda catchy, but it really didn't set the mood too much, just the speed of the scene).

I also think that a love story between two other characters (not Boris and Stella) would have better (possibly Kodi and Dusty? Oh yeah!).

Yeah! Kodi & Dusty! That would've been much, much better.

sliding down a glaicer and jazzy music DON'T go together!!!!! And 2 words!: BOOT STELLA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

- more scenes with Kodi and the father-son-relationship with Balto.
- more scenes with the sled dog trio and Kodi together.
- less Boris and Stella scenes (its a bit boring)
- cut Stella's song (I don't like it)

i would change boris's voice to more of which he had in b1 i'd add steele somewhere and include the other wolf quest six more just then kodi( even though i think he's cool )



edit: post 100!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah. And change Balto's voice more to what he sounded like in Balto 1.

Yes, his voice was odd!

Add a Steele cameo or somehing!

Steele's colors do rock!

I'd get rid of Stella (hate her!!! ) and send Muck and Luck to somewhere deep-deep in the forest, where they can find a good family of polar bear, at least.

Yeah well, I may not be able to do this too well, as I haven't seen B3 yet, they don't sell it on base, so I'm waiting until I graduate (March 15) and I get to go home, then I'll watch it.
I have however read most of the script provided by Steet's web site (THANKS KODI!)
Anyway I have to agree that Stella's song has GOT to go,
if not her entire character. I agree the story should have focused more on Balto and Kodi's relationship.
However, I'm sure Universal probably wanted to avoid a repeat of WQ. (which was kind of a father daughter thing.... [Actually you know I don't really know what WQ was really about, does anyone?])
Anyway the Kodi and Dusty thing is interesting.
They run on the same team, so they'd spend a lot of time together.
Maybe this is an idea for a future FAN FIC!
Hmmm? I'll have to get to work on that idea.
Kodi's character may be a little hard to write for, he's seems kind of... irritable. (Funny Aleu was kind of the same way huh? Maybe that's the wolf side of them lol!)
Anyway, I'll see what I can come up with, and let you know as soon as I get something.
Oh and on Balto and flying?
Enough said on that subject.
One other thing, the team somehow managed to be beating the plane BEFORE it crashed.
I know it's a kid's story and all, but I fly myself, and even with the slow planes they had back then....
I'm sorry Balto, but when the plane's going over mountains, and you're going through them, you're going to lose.
Not necessarily a bad thing. (though what would the dogs do if the mail was... what will they do when the mail IS taken over by the bush planes? Another FAN FIC idea maybe?)
Actually I'm not too worried about Balto and the gang, there will always be the races, you can't take that from them. I don't care how fast a plane goes, nothing compares to being on the back of one of those sleds racing through the wilderness.
The dogs will always be there, and people will always need them. Engines, Pistons and all man's other inventions sometimes break down, but (aside from getting sick that is) the dogs never do. Plus, is your expensive new Cessna (airplane) going to defend you from a bear if it attacks you out there?
Sorry, but I'm going to go off subject for a minute.
I once heard a story,(a True Story) pretty recently, about a sixteen-year-old boy who lived in Nenana. (Sound familiar?) He went out on his first hunting trip alone, with only his team of dogs (there were seven of them) out there with him.
When he returned that night, a bear attacked him.
He had a single shot .223 rifle, and he shot the bear, but, for those of you who don't know anything about guns, that just made the bear extremely mad.
The boy was about to get severely mauled, he probably would have been killed, were it not for his team.
He'd raised the dogs from pups, taken care of them, trained them, done everything he could for them, and now was their time to pay him back. The dogs attacked the bear, and allowed the boy to escape.
Unfortunately this story doesn't have a happy ending. (Well not really anyway) The dogs (all seven of them) died fighting that bear. Now tell me, is your airplane or snowmobile or whatever else Man invents going to do that?
Maybe, (if we get Artificial Intelligence or something) but until that day, the sled dogs will always rule.
(Raises a Mountain Dew) [Hey kids might read this you know lol]
Here's to you and your kin Balto.
You'll always have a place with me!
