Balto description 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 |

| ♥♥♥♥♥ | It's Nome, Alaska |
| First of all, the name of the town was Nome, Alaska. Not Normal, Alaska. Okay? I'd know this, because I reside in Alaska.
Now, for my review. I used to watch the crap out of this movie when I was little. Then at about nine years old, it went on the movie shelf and never came back off. Then, this morning, at age thirteen, I popped it into the VCR and watched, expecting to hate it. Boy, was I wrong. It wa slike being eight years old again. I found myself cheering Balto on with all of my might not caring about how cheesy or childish it was. I loved it. So, I went back and watched The Aristocats, Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid, and I'm about to watch The Fox and the Hound. For one day, I got to remember why being a young child was so fantastic and innocent. But I'm not going to tell my friends about it. It's a bit embarrassing. And, I want to keep it to myself for a while. |
