Review of Balto

Balto (1995)
7/10
Nice wolf cartoon, with almost no stupid music
9 September 2005
The story of this cartoon is almost identical to Snow Dogs, only with dogs. The main character is a "racially challenged" dog, meaning that he is part wolf, so neither dogs nor wolfs really consider him their own. In the end, he prevails against adversity.

The animation was nice, although clearly not worked very much. It was a low budget film and it showed. However, with that came some interesting story twists and animation techniques as well as almost no music, as we are used with American cartoons.

In the end, I guess it is the best of the series (why movies devolve in time is still a mystery to me) though I barely started watching Balto III. Balto II sucks and this last part is starting with a song. Not a good sign.
