Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
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

Rating:  - My 3 yr old loves it; I like it too
We like Balto 2 a lot -- even without having seen Balto 1. Our local library only has Balto 2. But we have watched it probably about 8 times by now, and it holds her attention every time. I find it a lot less annoying than most kids animated movies (such as most Disney). It does have some pretty scary scenes, which young kids will definitely need some kind of adult guidance to work through -- for instance, a bear with red eyes suddenly appears and attacks Alue; and there are some fierce wolves, ...

Rating: - Not as good as the first
Same Balto- different voices. I dislike it when they change the actors who give life to the characters. Oh well... This struck me as a production done on a lower budget with the story line. This episode has longer than necessary drama scenes of Balto's dreams of who he is and it struck me as odd that the relational development with his daughter was introduced and exited abruptly toward the last 1/4 or the movie. It was good but did not measure up to the first one.
Rating:  - Stopped watching...
I rented this movie from the video store after my 4 year old son saw the original Balto movie and we enjoyed it. But this movie was awful. Balto kept having frightening, creepy dreams throughout the movie (my son doesn't scare easily, but he was scared), Aleu (Balto's daughter) was awful to her parents, but the spiritism/animism was too much and we just turned it off. I won't let this kind of trash influence my child's beliefs.
NOT recommended.
Rating: - Beautiful
Balto II is even more underrated than the first film. Many people say that the first and third films are the best and this one is trash but I disagree, Wolf Quest is the best of the series. The music is beautiful and doesn't detract from the plot whatsoever. The animation is not that great (but you shouldn't judge it JUST by the animation). Unlike the first film, CGI is used and the effect? Stunning, simply stunning, and I mean it in a good way.
As for the story itself? It's about Balto's daughter ... Read More
Rating: - Not Like the Real Balto
Balto was the wolf-husky who led the last leg of a husky-malamute team some 53 miles in 1925 during the Diptheria Epidemic. The beautiful Eskimo dog has been immortalized in statue as a testament to his bravery in getting the team through so the medicine could be provided to the people needing it.
Although this fictionalized account of Balto's life off duty is just that, it does have some appealing qualities. The animation of Balto's mate, the beautiful husky Jenna; Balto's lineage revealing ... Read More
