About this movie

Based on an incredible true story, Balto is a dazzling animated adventure about one of the most courageous canines of all time. Part husky and part wolf, Balto isn't sure where he belongs in the wilds of Alaska. But when a serious diphtheria epidemic spreads fast among the children of Nome, it's up to the brave Balto and his friends to rescue a team of sled dogs lost in a blinding Arctic storm and carrying the much-needed anti-toxin. Starring the incredible voice talents of Kevin Bacon, Bridget Fonda, Bob Hoskins and Phil Collins, it's a remarkable tale of a hero who inspired a nation and became a legend! (Original Title - Balto)

Decent. Many problems! All the characters except Balto are fictional. Balto wasn't a wolfdog, he was a husky. There wasn't just ONE team in the race, there were 21. And Balto didn't do the WHOLE journey, Togo did. Balto ran 53 miles while Togo ran 260 miles. If you think I'm lying about Togo look him up they're actual real pictures of him. Balto gets ALL the credit for practically doing NOTHING while Togo HARDLY gets any of the credit for practically doing EVERYTHING! Balto the fraud

This is a fake movie based on a,"true story". Here is the actual story... Nome, Alaska during 1925 has an outbreak in diphtheria. A man leads his sled of dogs led by Togo, a fast and awardwinning dog, through a blizzard to get the curing serum. Along the way, he runs into somebody and learns that the government arranged a relay. Togo was 12 years old and ran 265 miles. Most of the other dogs only ran 31 ms. Balto just happened to run the finalstretch and earned the fame.Just watch the movie Togo

This movie is utter crap!! Flaws: Steele, Jenna, Uncle Boris, Muk, Luck, Kountax, Star and Rosy NEVER existed in the true event, the ONLY character that actually existed was Balto and he was NEVER half Wolf, the plot only contains little bits of the true story but the rest of the plot contains NONSENSE that NEVER happened!! The love story is OLD and heard LOTS of times before this!! DON'T buy this cheap rip-off of Lady and The Tramp and The Lion King or rent it, UGH!!
