Well, you've probably already assumed it's Balto, considering the location of this forum post.

Either way, I was really surprised to see this in a shop. I've never seen it out in the wild before.

It made me want to download the film when I got home, but I settled for 'My Girl' instead (yeah, I'm one of those people that go to the third largest shopping centre in Europe to look for movies to download when I get home).

Anyway, if you don't believe me...

Now, if you inspect closely, you may see two boxes to the right of the DVD that looks suspiciously like either WolfQuest and Wings of Change, or just WolfQuest. I'm not sure, I only noticed it when making this post (I would go back to Bluewater on Friday/Saturday, but I have a Coldplay concert and then all the Jubilee stuff).

Whoa, nice catch! The other two DVD's are clearly WOC and WQ.

That is a good find, Conay! Shoot, I haven't seen a copy of any of the movies by themselves in a few years; the only Balto-related DVD I've seen is the "Family Favorites" 3 movie set with Balto, LBT and An American Tail. Argh...




Dear Universal Studios:

What is taking you so long to just release all of the Balto movies in a three-movie set? It would be so awesome if you guys did that - seriously.

Sincerely,
ALL BALTO FANS EVERYWHERE





...yeah, I think that's enough.

Saw that once a while ago, but I didn't buy it.


Last night, though, I saw not only ADGTH but We're Back: A Dinosaur's Story on sale. Part of me wanted to buy them, but I didn't.

Orig: I've seen that 3 movie set all the time at Walmart - I think they sell it for 10$? - as well as We're Back!, an ADGTH/2 movie set, SON/2 movie set and even a couple of the American Tail sequels [not the good ones; it's the DTV ones that basically retconned "Fievel Goes West"] for 5$ each.

Shoot, when I got all of my Balto movies, they were in Walmart... for 5$ each... and that was about 7 years ago. I've never seen them there ever again... or in any place, save for websites online like eBay or Amazon.

It's ridiculous, honestly.

Kind of amused Balto is going for £7 while Alvin & the Chipmunks 2 is at £4. :P

I saw WQ & WoC in Fopp about a year ago, and in HMV. xD
At least they're still in distribution amirite? :D

Even funnier, they are offering '2 for £10', when it's £4 each :lol:

Lucky....
o_O

Last time I saw any Balto movies in any store anywhere was back in 2003 (such a good year) at Walmart.
Balto 3 for about 10 or so dollars, I couldnt get it....and the next time I was at Walmart it was gone.

That's really weird, because very recently I was in HMV and found all 3 Balto movies as well! Exact same covers and everything. So I bought the first one since I had lost my current copy - which was bought online. It must be a current UK trend - finding the Balto movies in-store. xD That's seriously cool.

St. James Shopping Centre in Edinburgh, more specifically just at the edge of Prince's Street. I'm not very good at directions. xD
