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

Rating:  - An epic cartoon!
Balto is one of the most emotive, epic and interesting cartoons movies I have ever seen in years.

I see there are some quality complaints about this DVD. Ummm...this DVD version is the same exact quality that the VHS version ... Read More

Rating: - Inspiring
I first watched this when it came out when my kids were young and decided to get it for myself. This is a great story with some historical significance. Teaches kids who watch the movie about courage, overcomming the odds, handling bullies and gives a little history. Great addition to the library.
