"It's like his face has ten different personalities and they all eat children" - The best line ever spoken by nostalgia critic ever
Agree.
Dak Lamerbusch He was only written like that because he was of a rival team.
Not as good as "They make me catch the gay!"
If it's funny Rob probably wrote it
8bitplay you forgot about sparkle sparkle sparkle
“Not a wolf, not a dog - All he knows is what he’s not.” Damn, that line IS good.
I feel that shit bro as someone who is half black and white I feel that
@Seth Belfort Dude, it's just a good line to relate too, and in context it makes sense. Being mixed with two different things and feeling as though you can't fit in either way. Let people just relate dude. As long as they're not being racist, leave them alone.
@OMG Thesechocodiles I know right. People are just too sensitive these days. "Oh no, he mentioned his heritage!" Yeah, so tf what? What do you want us to do, pretend we're all the color grey?
I'm glad this thread didnt go where I thought it would
@@lupin5489 Same, but I wasn't trying to argue with anybody.
Balto should be bigger than the other dogs. Seriously, Steel looks more like a wolf hybrid than Balto.
Steel is not only a purebred Alaskan Malamute, a very large breed by any standards, but he's a working dog, not a pet; his diet would consist of the best available raw meat in large quantities several times a day. Balto, by contrast, is a wolfdog (he appears to be half Husky, a breed that is noticeably smaller than the Malamute) and a stray whose diet is limited to what he can hunt or scavenge. It would make less sense if Balto was larger than Steele.
*S T E E L E*
Always thought this... Half-Wolf hybrids (I've lived in places where this actually happens accidentally) are HUGE. They're huge as puppies with massive paws and teeth and yellow eyes and they grow to be (usually) near double the size of the non-wolf breed parent. They can be great companions in the care of trained rescue/rehab specialists or people who have knowledge and huge acerages for them to roam/wander on, but 100% not a pet animal. Ever. Balto really should have been double that size. He should have been repped somewhere between the wolves and Steele in size - bigger than the sled dogs, smaller than the full wolves.
Then again, the actual Balto doesn't look different so... :|
He looks more like a coyote
@@2wingo full blooded wolves are huge. They're more slender but way taller than a dog, even a malamute
The white wolf was symbolism of balto’s wolf side. When he howled back it meant he accepted what he was which gave him strength

This is teds talk
Nyet camarad that was her mother
Man wolves are such amazing animal that why their my favorite animal there can do lots of stuff to survive
Wrong
Steele is basically what happens when you mash Scar and Gaston together.
Belinda Cornell
And with the mentality of Wolverine and Dark Knight Batman.
And the voice of negaduck and Winnie the pooh
I would have a lot more to say about Steel if I was one to curse. Like really, this dog is a psycho!
And the body of 1 of those wolves from Beauty and the Beast.
danucciguzman fang is the best sonic character
The goose actually made it a point to tell Balto that "a dog can't find that team, but maybe a wolf can." when he left town, telling Balto he needed to accept all of himself to succeed. The whole white wolf sequence was Balto finally accepting that part of
himself. That's why he's stronger and able to actually get back to Nome using just his nose.
AlleElizabeth That makes a bit more sense.
AlleElizabeth thanks for pointing it out UwU
Notices wolf UwU what's this?
Actually it's indicated that the White Wolf is actually Balto's mother though I do agree with you on that other thing as well.
I agree, I think the wolf is real and probably one of his parents. There's a real paw print in the snow for him to stick his own in to. It does come across as kinda mystical, too, but that's not exactly new with wolves. I just meant the narrative point of the sequence and the changes afterwards were due to the whole identity acceptance thing.
Balto: Does not speak for the last 25 minutes of the film
Spirit: Not bad, kid
True that
Kylo Ren in TROS:
"Hold my blue milk"
Even as a kid, I thought that was kinda weird! I'm so glad he drew attention to that in the review/
Same thing happened in Sleeping Beauty. Philip and Aurora don't speak a word in the third act
That is not true. He did speak
Oh, come on! White Wolf accepted Balto as his kin. The scene was about Balto accepting the wolf part of himself, and finding second breath to commit a heroic feat.
The white wolf is actually Balto's mom
Both of you are totally right! It aggravated me the Critic never did his research on that scene....or used common sense
@Joshua Walker its a kids movie for crying out loud.
This isn’t Teds talk
@@jenw6009 I can hold suspension of disbelief for a kids movie long enough... but when I watched the movie, that scene was straight up ridiculous.
Funny enough, out of all the liberties taken, the real Balto was often seen playing with a goose in town.
Ceekur is that true?
Bryant Fontenot can confirm. The GOOSE is one of the more accurate bits somehow.
@@nikolai60 that's awesome
Is that true ?
The fuck?
Here's the saddest part about the coffins: those kids are already dead. From what I can remember (my sister was obsessed with the history of Balto and did know about Togo), I think one adult and four children did die before the medicine got there. So the coffins, one large and three small (I dunno why there isn't a fourth, maybe the dude's in the middle of making it), represent the victims of those who didn't make it. Makes this children's movie a little more painful, huh?
Here's another historical fact: although the sequels feature Balto with his kids, Balto was neutered.
Well at least now there won't be any videos about how to fix Balto.
damn, so Balto was cucked?
Pretty much.
This movie had little to do with the actual events, it based very, very loosely on them. So, obviously, THIS Balto wasn't neutered if he's producing (1/4 wolf) puppies with his lady dog.
Well yeah, the review itself does say that. I was just pointing out a historical fact, is all.
Its not kinda true that Balto didnt have as much struggle as Togo maybe had.
Yes, Togo and his team mastered the longest and maybe more dangerous route, but don't forget, there was a snowstorm which actually really made Baltos team get lost. Balto was supposed to lead the second last team, but they didn't make it to the checkpoint, passed it and ran back all the way to Nome, through the worst storm imaginable. And it was Balto, who found the way back home, not his musher. He told that he had lost orientation during the blizzard and let the dogs do the work.
It was a miracle that they made it out of there so fast and for that, Balto definitely deserves the credit, BUT I hate how they put his name above all of the others that helped. Its not Baltos fault, if anything, it's the musher who just took the credit without standing up for his fellow teams.
What an ego....
I heard they did reach the checkpoint, but they couldn't wake the other musher up so they went on ahead.

@@charisalexander9480sure you are
What I never understood was why do people act like Balto got all the fame and Togo just fell into obscurity?
He didn't. Togo was celebrated, at stadiums, at stores, he got medals. They made appearances at the Madison Square Garden (Togo and HIS team) shit he even was in ads for cigarettes.
"Togo couldn't sled anymore more after the run" well it's expected he was already 12 when he ran.
Even so he still was healthy and in good conditions.
Yes Balto got fame but so did Togo. And at least Togo got to live a nice life after the run.
Balto ended up chained in a freak show (sorry kids) so.
*AND* stuffed thereafter.
Maybe THAT'S why this movie is based around him ONLY. The creators probably felt really sorry for Balto being stuffed
who is Togo?
Jackalope Togo was one of the lead dogs in the journey
You did see the end of te review right?
it's not that they "don't speak dog", that dog grew up with a guy who wold communicate in morse code all day every day so his barks are morse coded

I watched this movie,and realized Steel tried to seduce Jenna with his sausages....
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Sloan m when? Could you please give me the time in the video?

Right before he got his 'meat' cooked :3
Did you ALSO realise the dialogue Steel used to seduce Jenna with the sausage, was EXACTLY the way Tramp seduced Lady with spaghetti?
"I'm just assuming the other coffins are for Tiny Tim, Little Match Girl, and Full *Metal Alchemist spoiler*!"

""DON'T ACT LIKE THAT CAN'T HAPPEN!! There's dogs in this world!"
;-; every time.
OseiBayard3h Ed.....ward
I always assumed that the scene with the white wolf was actually just in his mind and was supposed to be him accepting that he's both wolf and dog. Or that it was like the spirit of his wolf parent.
if I remember correctly, at the very end of the sequel, it is revealed that the white wolf was balto's mother... but that apparently wasn't the plan of the creators of the first film
The sequel (if you want to accept it as a sequel...) actually hints at the white wolf being his mother. Balto tells his daughter about her, saying that she had pure white fur. And a white wolf spirit follows them throughout their entire journey, until Balto acknowledges her near the end and literally says, "Thank you, mother". So, yeah... If you acknowledge the sequel as an actual sequel for this movie, then the White Wolf is, in fact, Balto's mother in spirit form, returning to him in his time of need, and encouraging him to accept all of himself and continue on his journey, instead of giving up. It's actually kind of heart warming... :')
I think the white wolf scene was for him to embrace his wolf culture and know its not a bad thing (since he would only use his dog abilities in the movie and try to ignore he was part wolf)
So basically everyone except the Critic picked up on that.
i always thought that as well. like he was unconscious from the fall and dreamt it or something. then it turns out to be his mom...i think.
Doug Waker: "I Never seen a bad guy where every second he is moving it's some sort of obviously diabolical manner"
Cruella De-vil: *Where are the puppies!*
Some dogs do forget to use their nose. Believe me, my dog would take about ten minutes looking for the ball before he finally starts sniffing around.
"Are you gonna shut up or are you gonna keep being little miss TH-cam comments?"
The actual greatest thing
Yes it is, and sadly it's true
Is it all really true?
Yep.
So true 😂
"His face has ten personalities and they all eat children." 😂
AvatarOdin basically the guy from Split
I reached this comment when he said it.😂
So he's basically a split personality.
Fun Fact: this film is made by Amblimation, the same studio that gives us movies such as Fievel Goes West and We're Back a Dinosaur's Story. This was the last film before the studio closed down in 1997 and many of the artists had moved over to DreamWorks animation to work on many of that company's first animated features such as Antz, The Prince of Egypt, Road to El Dorado, Joseph King of Dreams and even Shrek.
The film always felt to me as a bit of a "Don Bluth meets 2D Dreamworks" thing. Makes perfect sense now why.
"And Fullmetal Alchemist spoiler!"
"DON'T ACT LIKE THAT CAN'T HAPPEN- THERE'S DOGS IN THIS UNIVERSE"
That's the best line ever.
Dogs... and kids.
This movie solidified my love for wolves when I was a kid. And the animation was just gorgeous.
That love for wolves better not be what I think it is...
The storytelling, though, was just awkward. Face it, as much as this film is nostalgic, it is pretty cheesy.
"And now I'm a furry!.... aint that some shit"

I for one really liked this movie. In fact it's one of my favorite non-Disney animated films. And in case some of you didn't know Steele was voiced by the amazing veteran Jim Cummings who voiced so many awesome characters such as Negaduck; which may explain why Steele looks evil 90% of the time.
Doesn't explain why this movie's villain is the voice actor of Winnie the Pooh
Wait until you see Togo.
didnt he also voice/sing the last third of be prepared after jeremy irons lost his voice?
@@fallingasleepaswespeak He did.
Doesn’t seem like Non Disney animated films do very well…. Ferngully, Anastasia, Quest for Camelot, Road to El Derado etc. all of those were animated movies that weren’t by Disney and they were all forgotten about 😕

Though to be fair, Phil Collins has proved he can make really stupid songs

misu vittupää though to be fair, using the same words that use against the primary commenter makes you an uncreative turd.
Also, Phil Collins won an Oscar for one of his songs so you’re in the minority.
@@misuvittupaa8068 Though to be fair, you probably haven't even seen Tarzan, or Miami Vice, or anything else that has benefited greatly from the addition of Phil Collins on the soundtrack. You probably also didn't know that he also sang his songs for the Tarzan soundtrack in German, Spanish, French, and Italian for the respective language dubs, which shows some serious dedication to his craft and to what he believed to be the quality of his work.

This.
I just love the art style an colours of this movie ! the background is almost like a Bob Ross painting and flows with the amazing animation style so well (especially with Steel's facial expressions). one of the smaller things I liked was the colour lining of the black bear, it gave me so many good memories of watching the old Spiderman show with Venom (my favourite anti-hero of Marvel) and his red & blue lining.
The movie was made for people to look up to an icon. Balto the character represented all the dogs who made the journey. Remember it said based off a true story. They chose Balto because of his unique half dog half wolf which made the movie interesting. Think about it. To me Balto is a hero because of the movie but also what he represents.
Actually, he was pure husky.
@@swordslashgaming5759 That's true, but the breeder decided that he didn't meet the standards of a Husky, so he rented him to the musher for super cheap so he could keep the ones that he thought were "breeding material".
So, yeah, he was technically a purebred, but he was still kind of a...mutt? Or at least got labeled as one?
@@StarSatin He was probably a Seppala Siberian Sleddog. A rare breed that doesnt meet the standards of a Siberian Husky and is only bred for working ability.
For this matter, other breeds were bred in to form a dog with both, speed and endurance.
It is said that Balto was from this bloodline. He also was neutered because he didn't seem like breeding material to his owner.
@@SAMMYTASTISCH As far as I know, he was a purebred husky, he just didn't meet the standards of the breeder. He might be related to what the Seppala Siberian Sleddog eventually became, but the Seppalas didn't become what they are today until around 1950.
So, Balto was still a purebred Husky, he just was just not a "breed standard" Husky.
Well also to be fair to Balto when a movie says "based on a true story", they only have to a minimum 10% of the facts be actually true. So having Balto (fact one) a half dog (2) in Alaska (3) run a sled team (4) to get medicine (5) for a town (6) dying of dyptheria (7) in 1925 (8) because a blizzard stopped the train (9) eliminating his outcast status (10) would technically fill the qualifications
At least it wasn't Randy Newman.
"Balto....he's a dog......And also a wolf. You pay Randy now."
Kaleigh Anderson Don't forget to add the bark bark, woof woof in there. lol
Also what if Randy Newman did a song for Alien or Star Wars. That'd be really funny.

"He's so black his blood is coffee."
And yet they are all so beautiful you wonder how you have never heard them before.
Fav quotes this episode. X'D
Apparently Rob wrote most of the script for this episode, so that explains the sudden injection of anime nerdiness.
"DON'T ACT LIKE THAT CAN'T HAPPEN!! There's dogs in this world!"
Who's here because of that *Togo* Trailer?
Finally that Dog is now on the *REAL* Spotlight
Balto is a great film. Love the story, music, characters, and everything.
And yet somehow it flunked the box office.
I feel like the white wolf scene was explained well enough. It had Boris' line play as it was happening "A dog cannot make this journey alone. But maybe a wolf can." and one of Balto's arcs was trying to find his identity as a part dog, part wolf... thing. The scene was placed there to finish Balto's character arc and to motivate him to complete the journey.
it's *satire* for *entertainment* purposes.
A legitimate criticism? FUCK YOU!
the thing is, real life Balto wasn't a hybrid. he was just a dog...
it's not THE issue, but it's hammering the "*based* on a true story" point
The real life Balto also couldn't speak. Nor was he accompanied by a goose and two baby polar bears. I fail to see how that's a good point.
Hmmm, maybe THAT'S why he hardly talks during the final act. He embraces his wolf self, thus distancing himself from his fellow dogs.
...Or maybe I'm giving the movie too much credit.
Why is nobody commenting about the little animation with the badguy being president? That was pretty slick looking actually.
There was far more effort than it needed to have.
Nipples O' Tungsten Steele was actually parodying Sean Spicer.
Sean Spicer?
Don05 Yeah.
what animation? you mean that clip of trump during a press conference?

@@kmac291Smile Dog is a creepypasta character.
"She's all yours Chester"
"OMG! I'M A MOTHER!"
In the sequel it hints that the White Wolf was the ghost of Balto's mother, because his father was the husky
And the scene was probably meant to represent Balto accepting himself as a wolfdog instead of suppressing who he was
*makes a coming out of the closet joke*
The Best At Not Much h
Balto's father must have had some balls to go after a wolf.
Elder Rusty
Both Metaphorically and Literally
Yeah but, i thought Balto was hallucinating that part but no, that White Wolf left marks in the snow.
Why is there Balto-Move Universe Lore?
Never understood the hatred Balto got. It's not the dog himself said anything or claimed anything. The musher did all that crap. Hate the musher not the dog. And the fact that the musher sold off his team after they ran their usefulness is even more bullshit. Seriously. Yea Togo deserves credit but that doesn't mean people have any right for hating a dog that just happen to have fame thrown at him. I loved the Balto movie and while I understand it barely follows the real story it's still a fun watch.
Actually, the dogs were sold with out the Gunnar's permission by the sponsor of the race. Balto and team were sold to a freak show and abused for years before someone who recognized them worked to get them out.
Money/corporate taints everything
No one should hate on any dog. All the dogs involved helped. That's why the plaque that even if it is in the likeness of Balto says that it's dedicated to all the sled dogs that participated and helped save lives.
Vixx Celacea yeah, wasn’t the statue supposed to display the standard Siberian Husky, which Balto was??
Vixx Celacea ouch. That ruined my day... (not mad at you, mad at the people responsible)

He embraces his wolf half at the end man. He wasn't ashamed anymore so it removed the mental blocks and limits he was imposing on himself! Otherwise spot on, Steel is essentially Gaston without the limits of society.
Wait, so Balto was basically dog/wolf Superman?
I definitely agree. Even when I was a kid I thought the wolf was more metaphorical than physical.
At least Disney+ gave Togo the credit he deserved. If you haven’t seen it, it’s pretty touching

travisiswin That was the main reason it didn't get any a lot press or showings. I rather watch this than Toy Story sometimes because I like movies that we're really at animation but were not made by Disney or Pixar. They tend to have more feeling and the music is always great.
travisiswin Oooor,maybe because it could also easily be named:Overused 2Danimted Cliche Tropes:The Movie
@@legendaryscarletlunala7927 I agree. Most animated films by Disney and Pixar aren't that good anymore. I'm not saying ALL of them of course, I'm just saying that maybe they should try different styles more often. Nowadays all animated films are 3D. And let's be honest; everyone has their favorite 2D movie.
I'm glad it found a following later on though.
I actually really love that steel is animated so 'evil'. it makes him INCREDIBLY fun to watch.
Plus Steel is voiced by Jim Cummings, who is honestly one of the most legendary voice actors ever in my opinion. He also sang the last third of Scar’s villain song in The Lion King when the actual voice actor couldn’t hit the notes. He brings a real life and depth to the character.
@@buckduane1991 Celebrities are usually not very good at singing compared to actual singers.
@@buckduane1991plus he also sang Rasputin’s song in Anastasia :)
Upon rewatching as an adult my first thought in Steeles scenes was how cool the framing, direction, and animation was, always such extreme angles and perspectives to show Steele dominating the frame. Storytelling through visuals.
*"OH MY GOD I'M A MOTHER!"*
Originally, Steele was supposed to die near the end of the movie (hanging by his collar, falling into a coal shaft, and getting buried alive), but producers that was too dark for children so Steele was abandoned & hated by everyone instead.
Well if you think about it, Steele trying to stop Balto and the others from bringing back the medicine and putting death on the town was pretty dark. If Steele’s death did happen in the movie, it would have been karma.

Steel may be an over the top obvious villain, but you can't deny how you wish you had that voice! It's like Michael Ironside had a kid with Vin Diesel!!
I heard his voice before but I can't put my finger on who the exact person is I mean it will show in the credits but that exact person that has done Steel I can't remember what show he played the voice as some character that I haven't seen in years.

Okay now what?
Who knew 2 years later they’d make a movie on Togo for Disney+
20:50, I knew it. I saw a trailer for Togo & I thought "was he the dog from Balto?"
I don't people should get so hooked up with who deserves the credit for saving those kids. I think the real point is "a bunch of kids didn't die."
ElvenRaptor acctully they did
how?
Disingenuous fame has to be called out, especially when it’s intentionally sought out, which Balto and his owner/Musher did.
The point is an entire group came together to save those little kids, and it relied on them all sacrificing for success.
This story is exactly the same as the US independence war story of the riders who warned of the British coming. Only the very last guy(Paul Revere), who rode the shortest (and safest) Portion of the ride, got ALL the glory; which was intended for a group of +6 men. And then he tried parleying that fame into a lucrative political career post-war.
@@cjwrench07 Balto didn't seek out anything. He was a dog.
Doctor Cthulhu Ok a dog wanted fame I guess
Admit it, the Nostalgia Critic would let a dog drive.
Who wouldn't? :)
Steele's gotta be one of the few animated animals I've ever seen that wasn't anthropomorphic, and still immediately made me think of all the porn he was gonna get made out of him.
Simba
@@kookycoconut Kovu
@@cocolover1237 Oh it's unreal how many girls I see that had crushes on Kovu.
Maybe he was responsible in a way for furries after 1998? LOL
This is a year later but sadly I can't disagree. I think it's all the voice and powerful movements. 😂 Him and Buster from Lady and Tramp 2 man. Some your inner furry just knows.
Balto will always be one of my favorite movies. i grew up with it on VHS, recorded from cable by my granddad. I swear ive seen it atlest 100 times. And the white wolf scene is permanently engraved in my mind, its the best part of the movie
Jim fucking Cummings is so legendary. Even if his character is poorly written, his voice acting can do no wrong. One of my favorite voice actors, and one of the best villain voice actors of all time.
"Oh my god, I'm a mother!" XD
Maccy Ninja no YOU ARE THE FATHER
What?
Maccy Ninja XD have you ever seen jerry springer before
dylan pollack whatever
Maccy Ninja And I'm the 69th like on your comment. :3
don't play in the snow kids, it'll someday fight back😂
I never knew the "true story" of balto before. And now that I do... I still don't care.
You shouldn't, it's 'based' on a true story, though some people still take this too literally. This adaptation of Balto's story stands perfectly fine on its own merits.
Idea: Reviewing the Percy Jackson movie in a crossover with someone who read the Percy Jackson book. You'd be saving an entire fandom from despair
Connor Worley I'm calling it, a crossover review with the Nostalgia Critic and the Dom, this needs to happen if he reviews Percy Jackson or Harry Potter.
issac flores Yeah, I agreee. Do the Harry Potter movies need to be reveiwed? At least that fan base isn't ashamed to admit they have a movie, or deny that they do XD
Connor Worley alright maybe just Percy Jackson, I may like the first one ( don't judge me) but those movies need to pay for the injustice they did to Rick Riordon's work.
Someone call THE Dom
Cerin Just like there's never been a Eragon movie either.
Also fun fact, the actual Balto wasn't part wolf he was a purebred husky and only ran the last leg of the race. the dog who actually ran the longest, Togo, was owned by the owner of balto. But, Balto was being used as a lead on another sled team. Togo never got the recognition he deserved while Balto did only because the team passed by the other sled team who had fallen asleep. I grew up on this movie and read the book about Balto but when I really looked up the true tale, I was quite upset at the fact they ignored the Fact Togo who was 12 years old at the time of the trek ran longer than the much younger Balto.
Togo deserves more recognition... But, sadly only the locals recognized him for his hard work.
Actually, Their owner made an uproar about the whole thing and sold him to a freak show where he spend almost the entire remains of his life. He was discredited and not allowed to the ceremony where Togo and the owner were receiving awards.
Also, Balto ran in conditions described by his musher as so bad that he could not see the end of his hands, and ran the *second* longest track (measly 54 miles compared to Togo's over 300, however Balto's track was still _two times longer_ than some of the other teams').
togo was lucky though he didnt end up chained for a freak show like balto and the rest of his team did
allison sharkey also did you know this comment was pointless cause this info was in the video
Actually Togo was a girl
I have never owned a dog, but would love to someday. It's an absolute to have a Samoyed named Togo.
Oh, wow. I haven't seen tone problems this bad since my printer went on the fritz.
Gosh, that scene under the hospital is so beautiful. The lights, the look of worry on their faces, the cobwebs add a wonderful flavor to the scene
I am starting a petition here in the comments for Doug Walker and his team to make the dog Steel into Devil Boner's dog in upcoming appearances. To sign this petition, simply reply or thumbs up for your support and hopefully the wonderful team behind the NC will see this.

Isaac_Skye do it
Petition Noises!
Yes
fuck yes.
Wow...never noticed Balto stops talking for the last twenty minutes!
Best part of the video was the lipsyncing for Balto at 19:46
"I'm gonna see how many shots it takes to forget your name" lmao
The sketches in this video are probably the most ingeniously integrated, and the best though out in relation to the review. Good work boys.
"OH MY GOD IM A MOTHER!!!!"
I loved this movie as a kid. Nostalgia critic can't even wreck the memory of watching it with my grandparents lol
You know what Balto is still a hero of his story it’s just such a shame that Togo and all the other mushers didn’t get the credit. If they all got the credit together then they’d all be a hero of their own story. I mean I already read it and Balto worked very hard to get the medicine to the town just as well even if it wasn’t as long as Togo. It’s because Balto was the only one whom got all of the credit that all of the hatred began and it’s so unfortunate.😢
Tamara is actually a good actress
"Slo mo leapfrog with men" lmao
zedasilva3 agreed. She rocks. She's got an awesome voice to! She could totally be a voice actor. She's be especially great as like a kid character or something lol
Fun fact: when Balto died they had him stuffed.
If you're ever in Cleveland, you can go see him in a museum there.
Yeah, it broke my heart a little too. Loved this movie growing up.
Fredrik Wahlgren That's not a fun fact, that's a not-fun fact D=
CHILHOOD RU nah im just kidding i never liked this film to begin with
Fredrik Wahlgren that wasn't fun at all!
Time was not kind to Balto, I'm afraid. :( After the big serum run, he and the other dogs were sold to a sick, son-of-a-bitch who basically kept them chained in a small room and neglected them. You may all create plans to exhume him and toss his carcass in a sewer.
Honestly, at this point in American politics, I wouldn't be surprised if Steele did in fact became the next press secretary.

--Nostalgia Critic, 2017
Even though I still love Balto, I enjoyed this review. It feels like a fan poking fun at the movie. Sure NC made fun of a lot of things but he wasn't enraged or anything. I agree the villain's one-dimensional personality is pretty outdated but apart from that it's still a fun movie with some food for thought.
"If your dog can't do that, he's stupid." XD
Christina Kwon I love how obviously evil Steel is, he's named after a minor felony, he looks like a dog version of Scar from the Lion King, and in EVERY, SINGLE, SECOND, of his screentime, he looks like a satanic bastard.
"Fullmetal Alchemist spoiler" that had me laughing!
soupedupd what where?
It was at 9:10 when they were showing the small coffins.
Ed....Ward..
soupedupd lol me too!
Don't fuck around with Nina
I don't understand why they just didn't make the movie about Togo? And how Balto got the credit for it still sounds like it interesting story
Huge credit to Tamara for playing both the Aunt Despair and Little Girl characters against each other so well. Masterful actress.
WE DON'T MENTION THAT FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST SCENE.
PunkExMachina I don't watch Full Metal Alchemist but I presume that scene broke a lot of hearts?
PunkExMachina Y E S
Ezel Francisco
Yes, it sure the fuck did! Look up FMA Nina death on TH-cam.
Ezel Francisco It has to do with a psychotic father fusing his daughter with her pet dog....it's sick....
Her dog days are over now :P
"He's so black, his blood is coffee!"
I'ma save that for later...
"Barry! Take that out of context!"
"Wait, why can't I get it up?"
Isaiah He's so black that he can't swim.
Really, Date Masamune, just be glad a black person doesn't see this. Which by the way black people can swim just saying.
16:11
Sebastian Stan!
I know at least one of you got that.
16:28 I won't say you don't have a good point but I will say there is also a less literal way to interpret this scene.
The wolf was there as a manifestation of Balto's more "wild side" and how he learned to embrace that he is not just a dog, but a wolf-dog. Balto was able to find confidence in himself and use his more wolf-like qualities to overcome his challenges.
The white wolf, I always took it to be the spirit of his parent, even before the sequels. Second one hints that it's his mother (I remember she was a white as snow, etc). But I mean, some people apparently took offense to that, but then what was the white wolf supposed to be? I always took it as the spirit of his mother giving him the answer he needed: a dog can't make this journey alone, but maybe a wolf can. He kept neglecting that side of himself to fit in, but it was a part of him and could help him here. He didn't howl with the wolves earlier in the movie, but when the white wolf showed up howling, he did howl with it, accepting his wolf heritage and gaining the inner strength he needed to get back up the mountain with the medicine. (which, yeah, no dog could do because that's a mountain and you should be dead because you fell, but, hey, cartoon logic.) Then people were apparently angry about the spiritual elements/supernatural elements of the sequel? But like... it was already in the first one with the white wolf?
Thank you, that's how I always interpreted it
I think even when you look up info on the first film it confirms the white arctic wolf is his mother, whether she was physically there or not is another thing. But it clears up which parent was wolf and dog
Cool
This is the type of comment I’ve been look for because my siblings always told me that’s his mom, you just put so much depth into it.
Why did people take offense to the white wolf being Balto's mother?
Balto had puppies in the sequel, but his real-life counterpart was fixed. Hmm.
well its not like we could have put the probably years he was abused and neglected as a freak show attraction for the kids
The funny thing is... Balto originally wasn’t even a sled dog. Seppala, Balto’s and Togo’s owner, ended up castrating Balto because he considered him too slow to be a sled dog and to provide anything for the breed.
NCs Phil Collins song has to be on the soundtrack to my life's story
And for all of us in 2020.
I laugh too hard at Chester saying, "Oh my gawd, I'm a mother."
