Movie Reviews of Balto

Movie Review: Adorable Movie!
Summary: 5 Stars

After visiting Alaska I bought this movie to watch with my granddaughters. It has become a favorite! My girls love it and have named their little plastic dogs after these characters and play out the story themselves.

Summary of Balto

The film follows the heroic journey of balto half husky/half wolf. The town outcast balto courageously battles the forces of nature and his own self-doubt in a race to save the children of nome. Balto combines spectacular action and adventure with the heartfelt emotion. Studio: Uni Dist Corp. (mca) Release Date: 08/22/2006 Starring: Kevin Bacon Phil Collins Run time: 74 minutes Rating: G Director: Simon Wells
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
