The petition time has come !!

And with it, the need for help. Please read what follows.

You know that I wanted at least 1.000 signatures before sending it to Universal. (I must say I'm a bit disappointed that it took so much time, considering that there are 1.000 visitors on the site each day...But, well.)
But anyway, now it will be time to send it.
And for this reason, I would need some help.

I could just send it in an email. But I think it would get easily lost and an email has less importance than a real mail.
I had wished that from the time we would get 1000 sigs, we would know someone from Universal who would be able to help us, but unfortunately it's not the case.
So, I believe that the best would be to print the petition and send it by regular mail. This is the only possibility for the petition to look serious and to get an answer. And besides, I have the exact address of the Universal department in charge of making the direct-to-video sequels. (I'll give it when everything will be planned)

Now, the question is : who here would be able to do that? I fear that I can't myself, because I'm a bit far from the USA...
I also know that printing it would make into a big letter, and it will consume a lot of paper.
But, does someone here would be kind enough to help me (us)?

I'm very far away from US as well, so I can't help you sorry... I suggest to contact a Balto fan from Balto.de, because in germany universal usualy repies the emails.

No... Universal Germany is only a secondary pole, they mostly only distribute films. The ones I want to contact are the ones who WORK on the DTV films. The ones who take the decisions. (more precisely : Universal Studios Home Entertainment Family Productions)

There was once a fellow who worked for Universal's DTV department that visited the Icy Boards from time to time. You might try contacting him about it.

Really? If you mean David W King, then no, he has never answered my emails, and he only worked for the Balto sequels. He's not attached to Universal. Besides I don't think he still works for them, if you look at the resumé on his site.

Ah, ok then. I thought he was still working for them.

The only thing I want is that they take it into consideration for their future projects (even if they don't make any future Balto plans, at least they could think of it as a possibility), and that they give a clear answer.

So, still no one interested?

I'm in the USA . . . I could see what I could do to help! *not sure how to print all of them out, but I sure could try!*

Ok, as for printing the petition, I will copy/paste all the signatures in a Word file, and in a good format for printing (without the useless things you can find on the site, and without the background colors)

EDIT : I have done that, it took some time but it's ok. But it's huge : 40 pages, and I can't reduce more than this or it would become unreadable...
Well that's also the reason why it gives more importance than in an email : we really have no idea how many signatures there are by just going on the site :lol:

I'm located in Arizona, and I'd be honoured to do whatever I can to help. Steet, can you put the printer-friendly version of the petition on your website, so I can get it, please?

Yes, the same? Maybe we in the US canprint out like 5 pages then send it to another person who will print out 5 more pages and so on? So we don't have to print like 40 pages? Or Steet could print it then give it to someone on the east coast?

I dshouldn't have a problem printing it all out if I can get the printer-friendly version.
