Moviecut—Balto

Well, this movie was released when Toy Story was released in 1995. It was very overlooked. I really remember the time in 2000 when I discovered this movie. 5 years had past without notice of the release date of '95. I fell in love with this movie. The acting is good, and plot is okay. Really recommended for a family night. So grab some popcorn, and coke, and get ready for some doggy action, romance, and style. I really can't believe this movie was a hit and miss. A 6.5 rating? Why? That really sucks. Balto will always be my favorite animated movie ever! 10/10

I love this movie so much! I've watched it about 24 million times over and when I was a child, I used to act out my favorite scenes and howl along with Balto! I know every quote of this movie and my computer desktop background is a collage of scenes from Balto. Boris made me laugh and I still cry when I watch this movie. Balto is my hero. I recommend this movie to everyone, no matter what age. There are so many valuable lessons that are taught throughout this movie and who doesn't love an underdog? I visit the statute of Balto in Central Park all the time. He is the perfect wolf-dog. I wish I could have met him. Oh, and I love the name "Steele" (which is Toby Keith's son's name as well). This is such a beautiful tale that has all the highlights of an amazing story such as forbidden love, heroes in disguise, adventure, humor, suspense, and tears. This is my favorite movie and I am going to go watch it right now.

My Take: Good family entertainment with pleasant animation yet familiar plot elements. Universal may have released THE LAND BEFORE TIME which was a terrific family animated adventure and, in my opinion, a worthy Disney contender in the 80's (not exactly the best time for Disney until THE LITTLE MERMAID came along), but they're still not Disney. With reaping one mighty triumph after another, classic after classic, Disney has proved to be at the top of their game (a game which they themselves started by the way). Universal, with former Disney animator Don Bluth working alongside them, is one of Disney's first business rival, a studio challenging Disney with their own animated efforts. Besides THE LAND BEFORE TIME (certainly the best of the bunch), there's AN American TAIL and its sequel, both of which doesn't match Disney's regal highness. By 1995, Universal released another contender to the Disney throne. It's BALTO, an animated adventure supposedly based on true events of a courageous sled dog mellowed down to kids movie material (talking animals, wild antics, mild fictional perils). For an animated film, BALTO fulfills all the requirements: a pristine animated environment filled with interactive characters, a stylish voice cast, fast pacing and all the essential trappings to drag both adults and kids to purchase. But while it fulfills being an animated adventure, it rarely succeeds on being a brilliant one. It's appealing for kids, with maybe a few tidbits to attract adult attention, but it's still miles away from Disney territory. The film is less a true story as mere fairy tale, as Balto (voiced by Kevin Bacon), an Ugly Duckling of a half-wolf (half-husky, half-wolf) usually tormented and embarrassed by the other sled dogs, including the cream-of-the-crop town "hero" Steel (voiced by Jim Cummings). His only real friends in the world is a talkative goose named Boris (voiced by Bob Hoskins) and a pair of twin polar bear cubs (voiced by Phil Collins). Pretty soon, a dangerous epidemic plagues the small Nome town, and after the sled team sent to pick up the antitoxins have failed, Balto seeks a chance to play hero as he sets of on his own to find the team, bring the medicine back to the ill-stricken town and have a monument inscribed before him (Okay, that last one wasn't exactly part of his plans!). Along the way, the film manages to provide a few good moments, including a battle against a giant Grizzly bear (why it isn't hibernating at this time of the year I don't know) which might scare the kids a little, but is no doubt some of the film's more exciting moments. There's also an avalanche (two actually, one on a cave). The voice cast is adequate, as is the animation, but BALTO can't help but fall short. The characters, story and everything else, while good, are not Disney caliber and definitely feel more like a forced imitation. But as pure family entertainment, I didn't mind taking BALTO out for a spin. Therefore, I suggest a worthy rental would do just fine. Rating: *** out of 5.

It was a cute, forgettable film. The animation is not even close to par with Disney, the script delivers a few notable one liners and nothing else, and the voice talents adequate. Still it has its "touching moments" and the audience it was intended for(small children) will adore it.

I come from Alaska, and I really hated this movie. It was much too difficult for me to get past all the inaccuracies and wild plot holes in the movie to enjoy it in any sense of the word. The story is based on the true story of the beginnings of the Iditarod, a dog sled race to and from Nome, Alaska. The original story is that Nome had an outbreak of diphtheria, so a dog sled was sent out to get medicine from Anchorage. It's a great story and an amazing race to watch. Here are the problems; and there are quite a few that I will miss. To begin with, using a dog sled to get around was *not* unusual. It wasn't a pasttime in Nome. It was a way of life. It was the only way to efficiently get anywhere in that day and age. Using a dog sled to get to Anchorage wasn't some kind of last resort. Wolf/husky mixes were not only *not* outcast back then, but they were desirable. Domesticated dogs were bred with wolves specifically for their strength and endurance. Even now people are proud to say they have a wolf mix, even though I believe they are illegal in Anchorage. Then we have all the little inconsistencies. A sunset in Nome, Alaska? In winter? You don't even get sunsets in Anchorage, let alone in Nome. There was the portrayal of polar bears as cute, cuddly, hamster-looking things; this especially irritated me because a polar bear in the Alaska Zoo, Binky, mauled several people who were under the impression that polar bears are just that - cute and cuddly. Then they show people, even little kids, traipsing about outside wearing simple coats. This in a town that averages 0 degrees Fahrenheit from December to March. Then they show fat, hairless, sharpei-looking mutts pulling sleds, and not the gorgeous huskies and malamutes and wolf breeds that are really used. It's not only insulting to reality, but it's absolutely ridiculous to believe that a short-haired fat dog would even survive up there, let alone pull a sled. Etc, etc, etc. A cartoon is a cartoon and is meant to be enjoyed, and not be true to reality. After all, the dogs do talk, and kiss, and fall in love, and ave social humanesque cliques and so on. But for crying out loud, couldn't the director have even made an *effort* at showing Nome for what it really was?

A excellent movie, it is up there with The Secret of NIMH. The animation also is amazing, and the characters really really nice. Also the voices are the best I heard in the animations movie I seen and they really characterize the personage. I couldn't not notice the sweet voice of Jenna and the looks. Very complex and very cute. Also the voice of Boris, one of a kind. The single voice that I remember being so sweet was of Ms. Brisby from the movie, The Secret of NIMH, again a movie with excellent animation and voices. I enjoyed it very much and most surely will watch it again. It just marvelous. -"Its amazing, fantastic, uber, extraordinary, magnificent, marvelous" -"IT ROCKS!" *BAM* :)
