UPDATE : I have added a higher resolution cover for the italian DVD, and the japanese DVD which looks a bit different, and also the german one.

Yes, that's it, it's not very clear but that's probably the best thing I have discovered while looking for information on B3:


or click here for the full article (the same as before)

This looks MUCH better than I hoped! (well, better than previous Balto dvd covers) I suppose the character next to Balto is his son (I didn't imagine him yellow! surprising...), I think there is Boris in the foreground, and a bird or something like that in the sky. Is it just me or is his son really smaller than Balto?

It was on the same site as the italian article, I had to register to the site to access to the pdf file, where it was.

Well done! Very resourceful. I'm a bit hesitatant to say: yes, the son looks smaller, but it's hard to know if this is an illsuion. How far behind Balto is the other �dog, exactly? �Plus, on the American cover of Wolf Quest, Aleu is shown as much smaller than Balto, despite the fact that at no point in the movie is she actually that sort of size. Yes, we can safely assume Boris is back, and that probably means Muk and Luk (I think I'm going to find those two very wearying a third time around) I don't think we can assume anything much else: a character not being on the cover doesn't mean anything. I'm still almost positive Jenna will be in it, because Jodi Benson is back (unfortunately)* Also a relief, though perhaps a premature one, to see no sign of those awful looking dogs from the early artwork. Yes, from what you can make out, this looks like a better drawn cover than B2. �Of course, this will probably �be the European/Australian cover. The US version will probably be entirely different anyway. *I only mean unfortunately it's Jodi Benson voicing her. Loop

I like this cover! IMO: it looks better than I had imagined it would! It would be nice if this one was the US cover (cross your fingers and paws!, but I do have one problem with it. It probably is the answer to why Balto is much bigger than his son (or daughter, from B2) on the cover and yet in the movie (mainly B2) they are the same size. I think the cover designer probably did this to still show that although it's his son/daughter that the story revolves around, it's still HIS story too (That's why his name is on the front cover, duh!. He's still the main reason why this whole story is here anyway!

Ok . . ..  rant over!

steetboris: I hope that maybe you can get a "back" cover picture too! Maybe translations too (since it'll be in a different language anyway)! Post them here!

One more thing: I clicked the link, but it said I was "Forbidden" to enter the page.

~oh well! . . . . .  

115-108568278525 Jul 2004, 14:50 UTC

Yes, you're probably both right about Balto's son size. Like I said, I  find this cover much more beautiful than the previous ones, but I'm just afraid of one thing: it's a bit too WQ-like, I wanted something different. I really hope the story will not be WQ with Aleu replaced with Balto's son...and by seeing this cover, I can't help but thinking it will be that.
Another thing, we are know sure that this son is not from the same litter...
I don't know, but I guess it will be the same cover for all countries. A strange thing though, the title for WQ was "Balto 2", however this time the title is not "Balto 3" but "Balto III". Yes, that's just a detail
Hum...if I had the back cover or more things, be sure I would already have posted them here!  
And for the link, my site is currently unavailable, not my fault but my host is having big problems (multimania...). I hope it will not last too long...

While there's every chance you're right, I wouldn't take it to the bank.

Consider: I don't know what the US cover of Lady and the Tramp 2 was like, but the Australian one has Scamp smack in the middle, filling up nearly the whole cover. His mother and father are there in the background, along with the other new characters, but there was no attempt to disguise the fact that this was Scamp's film.

Athough it probably won't happen , there is no reason why Balto's son can't have a significant part in the movie without stealing center stage from Balto. Balto could have the clear lead role. In Wolf Quest, until the halfway point, I think you could say Balto was the lead. It was only in the second half that the film became more and more about Aleu. Perhaps this time they'll give us a film about Balto, featuring his son, rather than a film about Balto's son, with Balto in it.

But, unfortunately, you're probably right.  *sigh*

ot: yay, Robbie McEwan!

This is really odd. �Everyone is assuming the smaller "wolf" behind Balto is his son. �Wasn't Aleu the only pup of the litter that looked like a wolf? �Or have Balto and Jenna been busy again? �

And the background looks very much like Balto is still in the area where he said goodbye to Aleu...

I think that's the most obvious scenario. All of the other pups from the first litter had been adopted anyway. Not that that prevents them from being involved in the story I suppose.

Consider: we know Balto's son has a speaking part in the film, we know that animated sequels are almost invariably about offspring (no, not the band, though that would be interesting I suppose), and there's a juvenile looking canine in the pic. I think we're jumping to the most likely conclusion.

Loop

115-108568278525 Jul 2004, 16:56 UTC

He looks more like a dog than a wolf, to me...And another litter, yes it seems to be that, I'm not surprised because all the puppies from the first looked the same except Aleu.
Isn't it supposed to take place in winter? Then why is there water instead of snow?
Another thing that make me think of WQ, is : I have the impression Balto is following this bird or whatever it is, he is looking at it like the raven in WQ. And I'm sure this is the "wings" from the title...
As for the covers, we will see if they change it for the US or not, but I don't really understand why they don't keep the same for all countries; there isn't a cultural gap between US and Europe/Australia, as much as between US and Japan. (uh...do you understand what I wrote there?   )

115-108568278525 Jul 2004, 21:21 UTC

My site has come back. But I'm thinking about changing to a new host without ads.
I'm still believing this is a bird and not a plane, even if it would be cool and original if it is really a plane; perhaps wa should make a poll on this  
I'm not sure, but I think there is another character in the background, at the right...or is it just a water effect? Well, there are a good amount of details in this cover, so this can only be a good sign for the movie. And another good sign is, nearly everybody here seems to like this cover  

Quote

The only thing I do have to say is Balto's son should be a bigger; unless the date/time the movie takes place in is before Alue ran off.

That's why I said he's probably from another litter. Besides, no puppies had this fur color.

Well, I'll tell you why I thought it was more likely a plane.  I assumed it was in the background, some distance behind them, and that Balto is just looking ahead, his gaze out of the picture, so to speak. In that case it looks to me like a bi-plane in the middle distance - which would be right considering this was the 1920's.

However, looking at it again, I can see how the object could be in the foreground, and Balto is looking right at it. In that case it's obviously something a lot smaller, so yes, probably a bird.

I hope he's not actually looking up at it. I much prefer the idea of him looking intrepidly ahead to the idea of him chasing after an arctic tern or something.


Loop - who doesn't think he's ever analyzed a fuzzy looking video cover in quite this much detail before.

Now that you say it...I also come to think it is really a plane. You have a really good point on this, I almost forgot Balto took place at this period (shame on me! ) That's becoming very interesting...
And, I don't think I have ever made so much speculation on a single thing, either...

83-108302525626 Jul 2004, 02:50 UTC

O.K. so Baltos' son in "Balto 3" isn't the Masked Pup from "Balto 2", But(Most likely)from a new litter. Not realy a problem. As for Him being Yellow, Well maybe One of Jenna's Parents was Yellow    I would say it's a Bi-Plane in the background. This is a cool cover  I hope the U.S. gets It. Jenna could be a strong Character. Jodie Benson can put more I'm not sure how to phrase this voice in Her voice(Though I too would have liked to have Bridget Fonda return). I'm trying not to get to worked up, But after seeing the cover I just can't wait for "Balto 3". So Thank You steelboris(And I mean that in a good way )

Very interesting! Looks better than I expected...

Perhaps someone already mentioned this, (To tired to read all of the comments here. @_@) but the 'pup' behind Balto looks more like it'd be Kaltag's son. � *Looks suspiciously @ Jenna* Hrmmm...

Wow!
� � Well done streetboris. �You've certainly done a great deal of commendable research on this new film. �This is by far the most exciting news I've heard about it to date!
� � After all these rumors and discussions, it's great to finally have something concrete to look at. �I can't wait for it to come out, now! *wags tail in excitement* �So, looks like the film is coming to Europe first. �Not too surprising, but I hope there won't be a big delay in bringing it to the U.S.
� � I think the cover looks great! �From what I can make out of the picture, the drawings look beautiful. �The characters seem to be much better looking than they did in WQ. �It's kinda' hard to make out some of the things that are there, but I'm most puzzled by the dog standing next to Balto. �It was mentioned before that Jenna did not have any yellow pups in the litter in WQ, or even anything remotely close to yellow. �So, it could be that they had another litter. �I could also believe any of the other theories that were mentioned before. �Heck, maybe the story is not about Balto's son at all! �Could it be another dog/wolf that somehow became associated with Balto in time? �Just a thought. �When I first saw that image over Balto's head, it struck me as an airplane in the distance. �I guess it could be a bird, but to me, it's general shape seems more like a plane from that time period. �It would be interesting if an airplane could have enough significance in the plot to be on the cover. �If you look at it closely, it almost looks like a mini-plane that is in the immediate foreground rather than in the distance. �If it really is that close up, I guess it would have to be a bird. �Guess we'll see.
� � The setting itself strikes me most as springtime, since there is a little snow in the picture, and quite a bit of water (i.e. snow melting). �A little dissapointing, as I was hoping for a more winter-like theme to be brought back. �It will probably be more like WQ. �Oh, well. �In any case, it looks really cool. �Can't wait!
� � Oh and, I'm glad I'm not the only one who can't stand Jodi Benson as the voice of Jenna.

74-108043194727 Jul 2004, 02:07 UTC

You know . . . I just thought about something . . .

What if the "yellow dog" behind Balto isn't really his son? What if it is one of Aleu's children?
I mean, think about it: For one thing, the pup has Aleu's similarities, mainly in the looks department! For another thing, Aleu had a bit of a light-colored coat! So did Nava . . . . (So are you saying that Nava and Aleu . . . . . nope! That's just gross and wrong . . . There's no way that could happen since he stayed on land! But there may have been a new wolf or husky that may have a yellowish colored coat to help spread those yellowish-colored genes to this pup behind Balto . . . .

Hey, who knows? It might be the most sanest thing that anyone could think of to solve this mystery!

~just a thought . . .

I don't know how you do it steetboris, but keep it up.  

I am extremely happy with this cover (from what I can see anyway). I believe that the thing in the upper right-hand corner is a plane. If you look closely, there are two parallel lines that appear to be the wings of a biplane. Of course this is only speculation as the picture is very unclear, but that's what I presume it to be.

Well, it must really be a plane since it is what most people see at the first look. However it's not enough clear to see if it's in the foreground or background...

lol,
� � That's a pretty comical theory, Loop. �I could so picture an argument like that.
� � Okay, we're beginning to think a little too hard about this topic...bringing the idea of genetics into this. �I don't think that the creators would go to that extent to justify bringing a yellow pup into the mix when they could easily paint him another color. �All we really can conclude though is that this character was probably not from the original litter.
� � I like the idea of it maybe being Aleu's child. �Better than it being part of yet another litter. �Two animated personified animals having more than one set of children sounds a little too...I don't know. �Out there? �I don't ever remember that happening in any other cartoon film. �But, if the creators can make it work, all the power to them.

Actually, other breed of horse, the Lipizaner (spell check!, an Austrian breed of performance horse, is born either black or brownish colored and changes to white-grey when it grows older.

Anyway, I still think it may be one of Aleu's children, curious about his famous grandfather!

Maybe he wants to be more like a hybrid instead of more like a wolf (like his mom). Or maybe he wants to be a friggin' sled dog like his husky grandmother!

Who knows!

Just a thought . . . .

115-108568278528 Jul 2004, 13:15 UTC

After the son, the brother, now this is the father  
No, to my mind it can't be Aleu's son, since in the interview the writers said "Balto's son". And I really don't think the story writers would make such a mistake. So, the most logical would be Balto & Jenna having a litter...again.

83-108302525628 Jul 2004, 21:30 UTC

To Juuchan 17 and Loop: Balto and Aleu left Nome before They met the Pack so We don't know where in Alaska Alue and The Pack left from. So They could be in Russia. Besides They needed to go somewhere Alue could meet other Wolves(I don't think She would be able to find a Mate in Her Pack ). Are there Wolves on the Aleuten Islands? I doint know.

Thanks - I really needed that image!  

Seriously, I assumed there were some eligible looking wolves in that pack. I don't know how old they were, but you'd probably have thought Aleu was as old as the rest of them if you didn't know the background anyway. She was basically the new alpha, so she would pretty well have to hit on... err, pick someone I guess. Of course that means that pack is never going to be pure wolf anymore.

Loop

66-109077823029 Jul 2004, 00:05 UTC

Well, some of the wolves in that pack actually looked pretty cool to me, . On top of that, it's possible that the caribou might eventually migrate back to the old land if the place across the icebergs was an island *nods to himself in agreement*. Then that means the wolves coming back and possibly befriending more wolves into the pack...

just my two cents

This one looks a lot more promising than B2, shame they aren't using the original style of writing for the title though.

I disagree on this, I have compared the original style and the one on the cover and they look the same; not exactly the same but much more near than the old style on the previous Region 2 covers.

Yeah, that would be cool!

Balto finds a stray pup (probably a runt that no one wanted) and decides to raise him as his own.

That would be a nice story! It would probably remind him of his own past, when he was forgotten as a pup, and then raised by Boris.

It can also be Balto's natural son, which fur color is messed up. After all, they colored Jenna in brown on the Region 1 DVD...

Quote

One reason I don't like the 'new litter' thing is that every film is adding at least a year to Balto's age. I don't know how old he was supposed to be in the first movie, but I hope it was 2 or something, otherwise he's going to be getting rickety if they keep making sequels with a year between them.

If Universal really cared about that, then the dinosaurs from Land before time would be pretty old now...
Oh, and for the thing in the sky, it is really a plane...I can't tell you why, but there are clues leading to this...

Good point steelboris. Oh and it is Because Those little Dinosaurs are stll little that The Land Before Time lost It's Magic(well O.K. It's part of the Reason ). To loop: The real Balto was 3 When He made The Serum Run. So I think it's safe to assume that the animated Balto was 3 in the first movie as well

I know obvious clues if you won't tell why:

1: Time period: Hello? If anyone still remembers that the first movie took place in 1925, then I think you know that this one is probably occurring in the late 1920s (my guess: 1929. Two words: Great Depression).
2: This is Alaska we're talking about! The only ways to travel is either: walk/dog-sled, boat, train, or . . . . you guessed it: PLANE!

'nuff said . . . . . . .

I think you're right, steetboris! It's most likely a friggin' plane!

About the whole "How-old-is-Balto-in-the-movies" question:
I think Balto was probably about 3 in the first one, but he looked a bit shaggier in the second (at least five or six by the end of the movie) and a bit older than usual. Note: In the second movie, a year passed during the movie when Aleu grew up. Boris said it himself that since Aleu was "more than one year old", she should have her own home by then.

It would be cool if Jenna gave birth to puppies while Balto was returning from the ending scene in Balto 2. Instant Daddy!

That would be cool You're right about the timeline too I had forgot that a Year had past during "Balto 2" so that would make Balto 5 when He said good-bye to Aleu. As long as We're guessing what Year "Balto 3" will be set I'll say 1928, Because I doin't think Universal would want more than a Year to pass between sequels. Dose Anyone think Muck and Luck will be older in "Balto 3"?

I doubt it . . . . . I mean, look at it this way:
In the first movie, Muk and Luk were polar bear cubs. In the scene in the sequel when they were playing with a now one-year old Aleu, they pretty much looked the same as they did in the original!
In conclusion: If Muk and Luk DID return for the third movie (which they probably will), they would be almost like the LBT dinos. Never aging, looking exactly the same for the past 3 years (in movie times of course!, almost like in the story "Tuck Everlasting" . . . . . . . .

If you haven't noticed yet, I have updated the topic with a higher resolution cover of B3 DVD. (see the first page of this topic) And it looks even nicer than I thought!  
Now we are sure this is a plane in the background, and I believe there are Muk & Luk on the right, covered by snow?
Another thing, the son looks cute, his eyes look a bit messed up though.
The only disappointing thing I can say about this cover, is that Balto has white eyes again, so it will probably the same in the film. He looked better with yellow eyes, I think. Oh well, after all that's just a detail.

Thank You steelboris  I hope This turns out to be the U.S. cover as well. I also wish Balto's Eyes were Yellow. It was one thing that bugged Me about "Balto 2", But oh well no big deal

115-108568278515 Aug 2004, 08:10 UTC

Mmm, in fact I'm sure he will have yellow eyes again in the film now, just don't ask me why lol  
TBL users, there's something for you in the photos sections  

115-108568278516 Aug 2004, 07:36 UTC

Jodi benson is back, so there is definately Jenna in it. But she'll probably won't have an important part in it either.
And actually, Balto's son is from the same litter as the one in WQ.
I also think the trio will be back, even if I can't really see them on the picture, but if it's more sledding oriented this time, they HAD to make them return...

I guess the animators did learn a few tricks this time around.  That's definitely good to know. *nods*

That, or perhaps Universal put a higher budget on it, since WQ exceeded their expectations...

Yes Balto's eyes are definately yellow

ALL RIGHT *Roars with excitement*  Uh steelboris how can Kodi be One of Aleu's Littermates? Alue was the only Gray/Brown Furred Pup. Is "Balto 2' going to be Ignored?

83-108302525616 Aug 2004, 09:28 UTC

Thank You steelboris That cover makes Kodi look more like One of the Jenna clones(And I mean that in a good way   )

Is there any information though, on when Balto 3 comes out? *can't wait*

Just read the Balto 3 page on The ice Cave or on my site    No US/Canada release date yet, but there are dates for a lot of european countries.
And Policho, I'm sure you'll be able to get it on emule before buying it for real

hehe....you are indeed correct, Alsatia....all the other countries seem to get the better looking covers than the US...I wonder why that is....

115-108568278524 Aug 2004, 07:21 UTC

Good finds, b12wq430! You were faster than me, this time  
So I think there is already two different covers for it : one where the son is yellow (italy, australia) and one where he looks more like the pups from the litter (japan, netherland)
I prefer the italy one, the colors are more beautiful even if they're not accurate to the film; I hope we'll get this one in france  

83-109112622924 Aug 2004, 10:27 UTC

Wow! Kool cover b12wq430. I can now see that the weird white thing in the background is Muk and Luk It doesn't look good for Jenna

Thanks, steetboris! �You do a lot of great work, too. �I see what you mean about the differences in the pup's color. �There are even more differences in the background- ie color of trees, the mountains, even Balto's fur color is different, not to mention the title, since one has the III and one doesn't!

Well, don't give up hope yet, Silverfox, since Jenna wasn't on the cover for WQ either, but yet she was still in the movie. �I guess this is the same thing that they are doing for B3, since Jodi Benson is making a comeback.

80-107376962124 Aug 2004, 21:31 UTC

Argh, not Muk & Luk! I really hope they have Jenna in it!

Here's my opinion on Kodi:
I think he is either: 1) Balto and Jenna's son from a new litter; 2) one of the five "Jenna-clones" shown in B2; or 3) a stray wolf-dog pup that Balto and the gang adopt because nobody wants him.

Ookami: I like your idea about Kodi being a hybrid that's teaching Balto, but it seems pretty weird, dontcha think? I mean, Balto is an old timer, but Kodi could be showing him how to have a good time.

 no, not in THAT sense . . . .
*Yeah, Balto ditches Jenna for another dog that gives him pleasure in the winter . . . .
oy, bad thoughts!

Actually, Kodi couldn't be one of the pups from the first litter. His coat looks almost like Balto's and Aleu's. Even though he has Jenna's markings yet a wolf-like look.

I think the stray pup scenario is best!

Answer 2. Sorry if it disappoints you, but he is definately from the same litter as in B2. The colors of the italian cover are messed up, but if you look at the other cover (the japanase or netherland one, I've updated the first page    ) he looks really like Jenna or one of the pups from WQ.

So your spanish is different? Well, it shouldn't really surprise me...Then I can't see another solution than buying the argentinian (sp?) vhs or dvd...When B3 will come out in your country, perhaps not in a much long time, then I'm sure you will easily be able to find B1 and/or B2.

I can't see the resemblence in any of the Jenna-clones and Kodi. It must be a new pup of some sorts. If you can show me any proof (or at least a picture) of any similarities, that would be nice. That goes for anyone, including you, steetboris!

I mean, think about it, that summary of the basic scenario of B3 said nothing on the fact that Kodi is indeed one of the "Jenna-clones" from B2. As I stated before, the colors are mainly off if he is a Jenna-clone. He looks more of a mix of Balto and Aleu's colors to me! His markings are indeed typical for a Jenna-clone, but the colors don't match any of the original clones from the first sequel. But he does look as wolfish as his "dad" (note the quotes, he may not be his true son, or is he?)

I'd like this to be solved soon! Is Kodi one of the original Jenna-clones or is he a new pup in his own movie, like Aleu was in Wolf Quest?

(edit): Well, now that I see a picture with all of the pups from the litter, Kodi only has a slight resemblence to one of the pups. Just a slight one, mind you.
(I think the darkest pup is the best bet of Jenna's litter that could be Kodi. See the picture yourself on steetboris' site. Look on the picture of the pups dogpiling Boris. You can see all of them and from the looks of the darker cover (Dutch?), Kodi looks a bit reddish, so the darker pup in B2 could be the Kode-meister! Note I said "could" not "is".)

But it's not official yet, is it? So far, I haven't heard or seen any proof that Kodi is one of the original six pups (We only know of Aleu (duh), Dingo, and Saba, if you read the credits right). Nobody's said anything true about that yet, not even the summary!

In other words, no one knows the truth yet, not even you!

(sorry to say that, but it's the truth! I've heard both rumors, but nothing official is out yet (that I've read . . .))

BTW: who is "us?" I wasn't told anything! I'd just wait for the movie to be released first. Then the truth will be revealed!

I meant LBT 10, but the european release!  AND there is the trailer for LBT 10 on the B3 DVD, so why not the contrary?

Oh You're problably right then. Europe had to wait a Year for Land Before Time 10    That just seems wrong to Me. Considering that it was actualy good. I hope We  don't have to wait that long for "Balto 3"(God Forbid)

83-109112622930 Aug 2004, 10:35 UTC

I wondered why I haden't seen LBT 10 in the shops

EDIT: I just found out it comes out on the 6th of September here in the UK...If any ones intrested.

115-108568278530 Aug 2004, 22:03 UTC

I've added a german cover, which comes from Amazon.de , and it is the clearest cover I've ever found    (Save it to your disk, to see it bigger)
And, of course it will be in english in the UK...and on the DVD, there are always 3 or 4 different languages to choose from. (we were talking about the LBT 10 DVD here, in case you were wondering...)
