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

After visiting Alaska I bought this movie to watch with my granddaughters. It has become a favorite! My girls love it and have named their little plastic dogs after these characters and play out the story themselves.

When I was 6, when I got diabetes back in '98, I watch this movie. I loved this movie. I just watched it recently since I didn't it for a couple of years. I forgot of how much I loved this movie. I recommend this movie to those people that like adventure, love, friendship, & bravery.
Rating: - I LOVE BALTO ! ! !
I just LOVE this Movie it is Awsome.Balto is so sweet even though he is part wolf.I love Jenna she is just Beautiful and smart.Balto and Jenna make a GREAT couple. Steele is a very rude husky that thinks of no one but himself. Boris is a hilarious goose that has a wonderful Russian accent. This is the best movie about a dog that is part wolf I recommend it to anyone that is a dog lover.
