Interesting idea. But truth to tell, I can't see Jenna as a solo heroine, especially under such circumstances. In the first place, Kodi would probably go with his team whether or not the humans decided to do anything about it (which they probably would). And second, Jenna really seems like the type of lady to stay at home. She's not exactly seasoned enough to do something like that (implicitly when she did so in the first movie, it wasn't that far back to Nome).
Balto 4 coud still be a prequel based on Jenna's past... But nah, I don't like the idea, I have the feeling it would be a boring movie. Assuming that an ipotetical Balto 4 would be a DTV like the other two sequels, I'd like to see something like WoC: a simple and nice movie; and why not, about another Balto's son. A prequel about Balto's past would be great, but I'm afraid that a DTV would ruin his mysterious past...
Honestly, I'd love to see a film about Jenna . . . but I think she just wouldn't be as interesting as Balto. Female-wise, the best she-dog was Aleu. I'd also like to see more Rosy though . . . maybe an adventure of Rosy and Balto? Ooh.
Again, I'd also like to see the other pups (Dingo, Saba, and the unnamed ones) get some spotlight time. Personally, I'd like to see one of Balto's husky children follow Aleu's path and become a wolf. (unlikely? - YES. possible? - MEH.) Having them turn out to be sled dogs like Kodi and Balto already are would be predictable and boring. What else could happen to a husky that is actually 1/4 wild?
As for the story being about Balto's past, I fear that if they did make a film about it, it really would take away the mystery of who Balto's parents (Aniu and some other husky) were and a lot of other stuff, just like Togo said. We'd have a face to the mysterious father-figure in Balto's life . . . Where's the fun in that? I'm not sure how they'd mix in Aniu's whole "I'm a Great Spirit" into the mix without ending up becoming something controversial, but I hope it doesn't happen . . . although I yearn for some closure to this.
And of course, if that happened (We doubt it), then it would then be CANON, which means fanfictions just wouldn't be the same anymore.
