Review of Balto (1995) by John S — 26 Mar 2013
In my opinion, Balto is one of Steven Spielberg's Amblin Entertainment's last great classically animated children's movies. This movie has a quite serious under tone with the plot loosely based on the events of the Nome blight of the 1920's. The plot has some witty and cute humor input from the Boris the goose and the other supporting characters like the stuttering husky.
Very underrated film! Great voice acting cast including Kevin Bacon (Balto), Bob Hoskins (Boris the goose), and Jim Cummings (Steele the husky).
There is a solid and intelligent enough plot that children and parents shouldn't become bored. The live action intro and ending has subtle references towards the characters may not be easy for the kids to spot, but definitely provides closure to the plot for and older audience (parents).
