What are you thinking RIGHT NOW?

I wonder why Balto 4 wasn't given the green light. Hmm.

Probably because 2 and 3 sucked.

Braveheart- True! Think I was member on Balto source a long time ago...don't know if that's still running.

Crystal- Hope you're ok hun .

I didn't mind 2, personally, and I haven't seen 3 but I can tell it's probably awful. The first one has always been enjoyable though I used to get scared when Balto got stuck under the ice.

Come to think of it, I've only watched it start to finish about twice But it's still a good movie, and KEVIN FREAKING BACON IS BALTO. I had no idea of that until recently

[Tsuki]

Yeh I didn't mind the second one but of course nothing beats the original. Anyone seen the Balto statue in NYC? I was fortunate enough to find it on my first visit to NYC

[Ninaroja]

Sadly no, but that being said the last time I was in New York city it was pre-9/11

[Tsuki]

Forum field trip anyone?

[Ninaroja]

^PLZ xD

I have no money to go but screw it!

[Tsuki]

Well if I save now I might be able to do it. I can live off noodles for a while

I actually kinda like Balto 2. Didn't like the third one, though. Original is my favorite, too.

And the only time I was in NYC was just for two hours, didn't leave the airport, so I didn't see the statue, either. Oh well.

I actually never had seen Balto at all until about a year or two ago. But my friend and her younger sisters loved it as kids so she was sure to share with me, lol.

The first one is good but we kind of agreed that the sequels were... well, not so good.

As far as the second one, well, it could've been worse. It could've been like some of the Disney sequels out there... but it still wasn't very good. It wasn't as good as, say, TLK II; in other words, it was a mediocre sequel and poor as a standalone. I mean, I guess it focused on Balto and his daughter, so that was nice, but overall the story didn't make much sense and the animation was very patchy at times (the 3D CGI sequences were especially ugly, sorry, IDK why they thought that was a good idea).

The third Balto movie, though, doesn't even focus on Balto. Or any of the canines, really. They're just kinda shoehorned in while the actual focus of the movie is on Boris and his suddenly-appearing, creepily-sexual-for-a-kids'-movie girlfriend (God only knows why...). They kind of pulled a TLK III, so... yeah, that was annoying. Not to mention that, in usual trying-to-be-Disney sequel fashion, the parent/kid relationships, from what I can remember, were all weirdly bipolar. Like, one moment Balto is getting along with his family, and then in the next they all hate him basically for no reason.

Now I will admit, I was really only half-paying attention to the two sequels... not to mention, I've only seen Balto two or three times, max, and only seen the sequels once each (maybe once and half for the first sequel because I'm pretty sure I was completely distracted while watching it the first time, and we didn't make it through the movie lol). But regardless, the sequels aren't really good movies. My friend told me that her and her sisters didn't like them that much even when they were young kids, so I don't think it was just a matter of me being too old to enjoy them, either. xD

EDIT: I was just ninja'd like five times, lol... but I've never been to New York. So... forum field trip everyone! Let's go!!
