We all have our favorite scenes from Balto. But like all movies, there's bound to be at least 1 flaw or scene we didn't like.

And since everyone always talks about how much WQ or WoC sucked, I started to wonder if the fans had a particular scene from the first movie in mind that they weren't really fond of.

So I want to know if there were any scenes from the first movie you didn't like. Mine would have to be the aurora wolf ending, I just felt it was too abrupt of an ending and it bugs me that we don't get to see what Balto's life is like after that. Yea we have the sequels, but they don't do that great of a job of telling what his new life is like.

I gotta be honest one of my least favorite parts of Balto one would of had to be the grizzly bear part, I find it hard to watch but still manage to!

Wish I could really say there was anything from the original Balto film, I disliked or a specific scene, to be exact. Just loved the movie that much.

There weren't any scenes I didn't like, but if I had to choose it would probably be this one:

How Balto managed to hold himseld and all the sled on this little branch? o_O

I think it was just a very deep root; they were climbing up what was nearly a 90 degree cliff, and those often times hang out like it did there and more often than not are very durable.

I didn't really not like a scene. The scenes all worked better here and were much more fluid and connected than in the sequels. That was probably due to higher production value and such.

However I will admit that the beginning of Balto and company's journey into the wild was slow. The only thing I did like about that scene was the scenery of Alaskan wilderness around them... oh, it was GORGEOUS~!

And maybe the avalanche and ice cave scenes... back to back. They were close to the end but I never really liked them. The only point I saw was to show Balto's quick leadership in times of danger [which we'd seen PLENTY already] and adding some humorous antics by Star. It was just... too much, but to think that the next scene was the climax of the animated sequence of the film, before returning to the actual statue itself. I feel that had this scene been near the middle, it may have been out-of-place and more... awkward with the comedy.

The cheesy happy ending.
Star: they should build a statue of him!
Kaltsg: you said it!
HAPPY END: not so happy to me
