Review of Balto (1995) by Bobo B — 10 May 2009
Overshadowed by the arrival of Pixar's technologically advanced Toy Story, there wasn't much room for Balto upon it's initial release. Since then it has gained steam on VHS. For the Christmas of 1995 I received many videos but between this and Toy Story, I have seen Balto many more times.
It's a simple story, but one with excellent characters and a wonderful story. Changed from the true story, this is a film built for drama and action. It gives both equal screentime which keeps a magnificent pace.
The animation is also still fantastic after 14 years, displayed by the very effective Bear fight. Balto is certainly a film I will be watching for the rest of my days.
