Product Description

As if becoming a new father isn't enough, Balto the half-wolf is puzzled by a recurring nightmare involving a treacherous journey, some threatening characters, and plenty of unanswered questions. Chalk it up to parenthood: nightmare turns into reality when the last of his litter, whom no human will adopt, learns the devastating truth about her mixed heritage and embarks on a dangerous Wolf Quest, with papa Balto hot on her trail. The result is 75 minutes of engrossing action, beautifully integrated songs, well-timed humor, polished animation, and a refreshing tendency to surprise rather than shock. As thoughtfully composed as the original Balto (based on the true story of a heroic Alaskan sled dog), this made-for-video sequel promises to be a deeply satisfying selection for families with 3- to 8-year-olds. --Liane Thomas

I like my purchase. I receive it in no time (about three or four days). It is a good movie. Thanks.

Why do these companies insist on copying Disney's stupid idea to make OVA sequals to all of their best(and worst) movies. The original Balto was a great and wonderful feature that told a true story and held its self well enough on its own. What I don't understand is why they felt they had to tarnish the film's reputation with cheesy animation, bad voice acting, rediculous diologue, and bad musical numbers. That's right, Universal went and added one song sequence after another with this mess of a film. If you like cheaply made sequels to great films then you'll enjoy this one. But if you want to see a better movie, watch anything else.

If you liked the first movie (or even if you didn't) then you'll hate this one. The script, plot, and music are all terrible. About the only thing you'll enjoy is Disney's classic animation.
It looks like the storywriters were trying to write the "New Age Gospel" for kids and decided to use Balto and his daughter as the missionaries. If you're gonna do that at least give it a decent plot. Example: That little mouse that sings a song -- and a poorly-written song at that. It's entirely new-age-ish and doesn't really help the plot along at all.
Where the first movie was based on a true story, this one doesn't contain one scrap of truth. While that's okay for a film, it sure is a disappointment to those of us expecting a true extension to the story.
If your local library has a copy, maybe that's worth looking it, but don't waste your money. Buy the first movie instead.

disappointing sequel
The original Balto was a great film and is very worth seeing - a great story making for a superb family film. The sequel is anything but worth the time or money. Read more
