Review of Balto (1995) by Carrotcake1994 A — 26 Jun 2013

Based loosely on the true story of the serum run of Nome, Alaska 1925, Balto is a sweet animated classic with the voices of Kevin Bacon and Bob Hoskins.

Balto is a wolf husky mix who is bullied by his canine peers. when the towns' children fall sick with diptheria, a dog team, led by bad dog, Steele, is sent to fetch the lifesaving medicine. when the team gets lost, the shy, kindly Balto takes it on himself to find the team and bring home the medicine.

Well animated with beautiful music, Balto will warm the coldest of hearts. the characters are likable and the voice acting fantastic. the message is good, teaching children not to isolate others and to believe in themselves.
