Animation Source

Comme j'ai pu l'expliquer sur la boite de chat, on essaie d'organiser une pétition visant Universal à bouger un peu les choses concernant sa license Balto, et à leur exprimer ce que les fans voudraient reellement. J'ai donc écrit le texte de la pétition, en anglais; il y aura sans doute des modifs, donc j'en ferais une traduction quand il sera fini et en ligne.
Je poste ici la pétition en anglais :

Title :

Balto : A call from the fans


Text in front page :

Balto is an animated film that never got the recognition it should have had.
From year to year, the Balto community of fans has grown up and up, at the speed of people get to know of its existence.

We (Balto fans) feel that Universal never got to realize the potential of this license. We would want a better future for the Balto license than just making sequels after sequels in a "Land Before Time" way.
We have to let Universal know that there are a lot of Balto fans out there, especially in comparison of the (still small) number of people who got the chance to see it.

And as such, this animated film should be recognized the way it should be : as a great classic, which had great potential and yet never got to be well known because of a lack of advertising, weak efforts and wrong marketing choices (releasing the film at the same time as Toy Story was probably the biggest error possible...)
But, we feel that it's not too late, and there are a few things Universal should do to exploit their license in a good way.

A list of things Universal Pictures should do includes :

- release a special edition of the Balto DVD, with widescreen, deleted scenes, commentaries,...and the same for the sequels,
- making a Balto video game,
- restart making Balto merchandises (plushies, books, t-shirts...),
- release the soundtracks of the sequels on a CD,
- a TV series,
- reshow the original film in theaters,
- build a Balto ride in one of Universal theme parks
- make a box-set with the three Balto films,
- better distribution (for example, Wings of Change was difficult to find at its release, even in the USA,
and the original Balto is still difficult to find...)

We would already be glad if Universal would realize one of these "fan wishes", because it would say that even big companies like Universal can understand the fans. We also think that both Universal and us (fans and customers) would win if such things were to happen.


So, if you like Balto and think that it deserves to be more popular,
sign the petition!


And the additional questions asked in the form :

Would you buy the products previously listed if they were released? Yes/No
What are your feelings about the Balto films?
Any other comments?


Tell me what do you think of it, and if there are things to add/change. I want that everyone agree with the petition, so that's why I don't want to make everything myself...I think there are also a lot of spelling and grammatical errors that need to be corrected...

ha oui ça a l'air bien mais j'ai rien compris

J'ai pas tout compris mais elle est pas mal.
Moi je dit je c'est pas ce que je fais si le marché de Balto repart

Dans ce cas la j'aurais qu'un truc à dire: TROP DE LA BALLE!!!

Je doute que ca fasse vraiment un quelconque effet chez universal...
Mais bon, ca ne coute rien d'essayer.
A mon avis, le mieux qu'ils vont faire, ce serait de sortir un pack avec les trois films (le truc le plus simple de toute la liste que j'ai écrite )
J'en ferais une traduction plus tard, evidemment...

Tout dépendra du nombre de signatures.
Ou si ils résistent un petit mail bomber?lol

Ce qu'il y a, c'est qu'il faudrait que ce soit quelqu'un travaillant à universal qui le montre, plutot que de l'envoyer par simple mail. Je pense que ca aurait plus de poids...Enfin, on en est pas là.

Mais les petitions sont pas mal non plus enfin universal doit surment y preter attention, non?
