" Balto, a dog goes dangerous journey through out harsh Alaska wilderness in order to deliver medicine to a remote town, and save also a sick, dying girl. Of course, they make it back in time. Just barely. Based on a event, that occurred in 1925 with a diphtheria outbreak in Nome, Alaska. Granted, Balto is indeed a hero dog, and has a statue dedicated to his and other dogs, who saved the day, it’s worth noting that the real hero dog, is Togo. That doesn’t make Balto, any less of a hero. "

The film isn't laden with humour as much as something like The Lion King or Castle of Cagliostro, but with the characters Boris, Muk and Luk it is evident.The animation is surprisingly detailed. Critics complained of the animation quality being dull and tacky, and when I saw that I thought did we see the same movie. The colours were fine, maybe not the most vibrant colouring in the world like FernGully for instance, but the character animation and the backgrounds are immaculate. The music by James” read more

"Based on a true story, more or less.... The ending, is definitely a tear jerker."

"Movie: Netflix Instant Rating: Good!!! Summary: A wolf-dog hybrid dreams of racing in dogsled teams despite the prejudice he experiences from dogs and humans alike in this remote Alaskan town. When an epidemic spreads and a powerful winter storm prevents all aid from reaching the remote town, Balto not only has an opportunity to realize his dreams, but a responsibility to save the town who hates him. Cheering myself up after a few long days. Some of the writing is the tiniest bit silly in t"

"The general plot, of the movie. And it's based, on a true story too."
