Has anyone ever seen it ? it is such an awesome movie ! info on Balto can be found here : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balto_%28film%29

Yeah Balto is cool! Not as sure about the sequels, but the original I enjoyed. With The Bacon.

I was actually gonna call my new dog Balto at one point too. But there was never a new dog.

LOLZ Yeah. Balto is one of the best movies I have ever seen. :p I thought the second was good , but the third one was kinda boring. and aw.

I've watched the first movie of Balto several times before as a kid and really, really liked it. I wanted it on actual DVD so I could watch it whenever I wanted but we never had to money or time to get it. It's been a while since I watched it but I'm sure I'll still like it. I can remember watching the 2nd movie on YouTube once and not liking it so much and I'm not really sure if I've ever seen the 3rd one, but I doubt anything will surpass the first. ^^

Saw it once as a kid, it was good, I will probably watch it again soon.

Balto is a cool film that I wish was more known. And the sequals are bad , but Ok to watch. Well , the 3rd is anyway.

Huh. That's weird. Cos it seems like I've never met a person who doesn't know it. It was, and still is, a very popular movie in some circles. Then there's people who like it but aren't like fans, and I think that second category is where many of the people who've watched it are at.

Also, shouldn't this be in the Movies & TV section?

Moved to Movies & TV.

I loved this movie as a kid. Rewatched it a few months ago, and I still like it.

Yeah it's a good movie. But Universal seems not to care about it.

How are they supposed to show they care about it? It's almost 20 years old and had two sequels. There's not a lot they could do at this point; merchandise wouldn't sell very well and more sequels would probably not make much, if any, profit. There's only so much they can do before a movie's popularity dies down and becomes something that would cause them to lose money. It's a sad truth. Some movies will remain popular for a long time, others will not.

Balto is a great movie that deserves more attention, but for Universal to give it more attention at this juncture probably wouldn't benefit them.
