Which movie do you like the most and why?

The original of course, I've never seen the third tough...But mostly the original movie is the best out of it's sequels.And why?? Just because it's the closest to the real story and for the animation being awesomly great

The first Balto. Because the story really happened & it is the orignal art work! ^^

Should this question even be asked? The first one obviously. Better animation and a much better story. The other thing I like about it is Muk and Luk actually had a reason to be in the movie.

The first!! the animation was top notch

The first movie, the animation was great and the story was really well done, incorporating the real life story and the made-up story, and the voice actors were the best out of all the movies and you really felt for the characters and could really relate to them, the original was the best by far!

Definetly the original, need I explain why?

My vote would go to the first movie. The first film, to me, really comprised the emotional and thematic core of the story, establishing the characters and their relationships, dealing with themes of acceptance, love and endurance against the odds. As enjoyable as the sequels were, to me they feel a lot more like extensions of what we already saw in the first film. Like running into a friend on the street after a long time apart, it feels good to see the characters again and to find out what their up to, but inevitably things have changed somewhat and it doesn't have quite the same resonance as the first time. That's not to say that the sequels were not good films, I enjoyed them a great deal and I look forward to more in the future, but it doesn't feel quite the same as the first time, and maybe thats just par for the course. Also in terms of quality of animation and music I'd go with the first film again, though of course that comes with the territory when dealing with a lower budget.

the first because the animation was much better than the other 2.

The original. Nothing can beat the originals cept for Harry Potter...

There's no question in my mind. I didn't really like the sequels at all, so I will always love Balto the original the best. Sometimes good, original stories are meant to be left alone, and in my opinion, Balto was one of them. As much as I loved the story and such, I thought it shoulda stopped there. But that's just me. So, back to the topic....I choose #1!

Balto and Balto 3,Balto 2 could have been better.

Nothing like the original is like my motto This is no acception.

I like Balto 1 most, plus it's much better drawn than the other ones.
