Editorial Review:
Buried like a bone in a snowdrift, Balto never achieved the theatrical success it should have, but it's worth digging up. The film is structured on the true tale of a lead sled dog, Balto, that brought a diphtheria antitoxin to the small town of Nome, Alaska. The film balances comedy, villany, and drama very well and the voice work is above average. Safe family viewing, as even the villain's comeuppance manages a civilized resolution. The only problem is that the film never explains why these events in Alaska inspired New Yorkers to build a statue to the dog in Central Park. Maybe Balto eventually got mugged there. --Keith Simanton

Balto [Region 2] Reviews:
Great movie! An animated classic!
2009-11-29 - This is a wonderful movie that I think people of all ages can enjoy. The story is great and has a heartwarming ending. Main characters are unforgettable and are very well acted for the kind of movie this is. The movie overall has a little of everything in it that makes for a great adventure. One of the BEST things that I liked about the movie was NO SINGING!!!!! Just a wonderful story with superb animation for its day. Would recommend this movie to just about anyone!

Why isn't this much more popular than it is now?
2009-10-06 - This isn't your average animated film. Balto is just as great as The Lion King, Fantasia, and The Land Before Time. It has a solid story (which is based on true events), a brilliant script (even for a family film), impressive voice acting, and some beautiful animation. Sure, Boris the goose is a bit annoying at times, but that's probably the only thing that's bad about this animated classic. I still don't understand why this isn't as recognizable as The Lion King or An American Tail. Maybe it's because of marketing limitations or something. Whatever the reasons, let's hope that people get to see this film and let's definitely hope that this will turn out to be one of their favorites.

Grade: A

Balto is Great
2009-09-10 - My 18 year old daughter loves Balto ever since she was little and wanted to introduce it to her 5 year old sister. They both enjoy watching it together.

The Legend of a Hero
2009-09-05 - Based on a true story just like Anastia Balto is the story of an heroic husky who risks his life to save the children of Nome by going to the cold depts in order to bring back the vaccine that can cure them. Ever sense I saw this movie it inspired me to be a husky fan and a fan of the legendary Balto. overall great cartoon.
