Hey,

Are there any people who remind you of "Balto" characters? How do you know said people, and why do they remind you of certain characters from "Balto"?

I don't know anyone in real life who truly reminds me of Balto characters, though other movie characters most certainly. For example, Kiara from Lion King II reminds me of Aleu. Spirit from Spirit: SotC reminds me of Balto. Real-life movies, I would say Boris reminds me /somewhat/ of Alfred from Batman (in the Christian Bale series). Dunno. In real life, the only person I can think of would be my ex-best friend. She reminded me of Jenna but only because she took an interest in her when I showed her the movie. Not really for any other particular reason.

This should have been locked.

This particular one isn't so bad, Mighty. I think it's worth a shot...

I have a friend who reminds me of Niju. He's not evil, but he's like him in one way. He's not afraid to die, but he's afraid to change.

And Niju is not evil, FYI.

I agree with Mighty; Niju wasn't exactly "Evil" he had justifiable reasonings for being the way he was. He was pretty much just scared of change. < Alot of people are that way.
Niju kinda reminds me of my husband in a way or vise versa. He doesn't like change and he's a little bit of the "Take Charge" kind'a personality. Still has good intensions but sorta goes about them the wrong way at times.

My father in law reminds me of steele (Now steele was evil in a sense). He's a "Glory hound" per say...likes to be right about everything. Feels that he's the most important person in the world and loves himself more than he loves others.

But thats about it though.

Hey,

My father's stepfather and my father's mother have a daughter, and her husband reminds me of Steele! He's sort of a selfish, "I love livin' large!" kind of a guy, and he and my step-aunt, AND my grandparents, all live in a cold climate state.

Of course, what's really strange is the fact that I've been secretly crushing on him for YEARS (He's totally charming, and he's always been nice to ME!)! I don't feel badly about crushing on him, because he married into the family; he's not really related to me! I was sooo bummed about not being able to see him when I last visited my grandparents!

I could think of a few people who very much remind me of Steele: self-centered, concerned chiefly with their own gain and having no regard for how their actions impact others. Frankly I think the world has a surplus of them.

As for other characters, at the risk of sounding self-praising I'll say that I sometimes feel like Boris when I watch my mom struggle to make ends meet, in as much as I find myself trying, however ineptly, to make things easier on her. The similarity is especially distinct in my mind when she keeps encouraging me to go back to college and "spread my wings;" consistently bringing to mind the part where Balto asked Boris, "You ever think about going back?" I even went so far as to tell her once, point-blank, that I'm not going anywhere until I know she's set to manage for herself. Even used Boris' own words.

Not to sound self consumed or centered, but my brother and parents have called me Balto so often that I've become to believe that I remind MYSELF of Balto

Are you suuuure that's not because they perhaps see you watching the Balto movies all the time, and doing fannish things because of it? And that it's not some sort of tease (playful or otherwise)?

to everyone at school , I'm considered an outcast , so i guess that means I'm a lot like balto. :p

I'm deciding this topic is going to be brought- back to life.

Well, I feel like I, myself, am a lot like Aleu.
Why?

Well, first off, may I say I, too, had runaway once?
It wasn't too long ago, but, I had runaway due to the fact that my parents were having a discussion- about me.
Though the discussion wasn't only about me, I don't think I should go too deep into the details, so, I'm going to leave it at that.
I also had felt- different; and very much to my dismay, I am an outcast.
I'm bullied because I have epilepsy; and I also have other symptoms, though mainly epilepsy is the biggest "difference" I have.
The students even took pictures of me having a seizure, because the teacher had pulled me out of class telling me everything; and that I need to stand up for myself. Of course, a lot like Aleu, I realized, in the end, you'll learn to love yourself for your"differences" and also learn that you are who you are.
(I also learned to love my parents xD.

I'm also told by my parents, that she really thinks, that if Aleu was a human or my dog, that I'd probably never let her go.
(Because I'm so much like Aleu to every single friend and relative of mine.)

Guys, this topic is about WHO reminds you of Balto characters, not what character you personally relate to the best. There is a topic for that here: how-can-you-relate-to-balto-t34348.html

Same difference, Mighty. The word "people" in the topic subject line can also be referred to as people you know or yourself.
