Sounds like a good movie to me!   I wonder what the game will be about then?  Maybe one where you rescue the pilot??

74-107034150012 Aug 2004, 19:51 UTC

So THAT'S what that weird thing in the background was!  

Putting Balto in a hero's role again... nice.  Might even tie up some loose ends that folks around here have been complaining about, like what happened to Steele.  Maybe Steele's on the rescue team, but he's all the way at the back.  

This has got me thinking... what if Balto's son is really just a secondary role?

It seems that Australia is really enthuastic about B3.    Here's another website that is accepting pre-orders.

That would be fine with Me. If Steele was in the movie don't You Think Jim Cummings would be on The Voice list? But it's only 78 mimutes long  Oh well as long as its good(wich It sounds like it is)

I've been wondering this for a long time, but if Steele isn't the villian in this film, then who is???

Good question. I have no idea as to the answer  Could They pull the movie off without a Villian?(I know It's a dumb question)

I didn't have the time to give my opinion, but this scenario seems much more accurate for a sequel to Balto to me

Shall I remind you that Balto 1 & 2 were 74 & 72 minutes long?  

And, we don't know about the villains. We still don't know Balto's son name, either! Maybe some humans will take the role of the villains. But Steele's return seems unlikely.

It's not really more accurate but a lot different...

Probably... �Maybe Balto and his son have to fight against the weather... � �

74-107034150014 Aug 2004, 20:59 UTC

I'll bet a free commission that the beginning of the movie is the end of Balto 2, and then suddenly Balto wakes up, rubs his eyes, shaking his head, saying, "Wooh, what a dream. �Glad I'm not a father!" �Then Boris runs up to him and says, "Balto! �Great news! �You're a father!"

"Aww crap!"

And then the movie goes from there. �

Villain? �The elements, or even time could make a good villain of sorts. �Or the Bear could come back to get her arse kicked a third time... �

Or there's super secret mail on board that plane that tells the government of a super-secret conspiracy involving lesbian soon-to-be-Nazi hookers hell-bent on taking over the world, and that mail has to get to Anchorage as quickly as possible, but the plane has now crashed, and Balto must save the United States by recovering the mail, stopping this horrifying underground organization from realizing its nefarious schemes!!

*gasps for breath* �

Of course, this line leads me to believe that there will be a betrayal from within:

You know what would make Balto 3 interesting? If the made Balto into the villan.    Which would make a good fourth movie, Balto decides to kill all the children he saved in the first movie.

"Kill the people he once saved"

By the way Balto's son is called "Kodi"

Ooh! Interesting! How'd ya find this out, Fluke?

That's an interesting name . . . . Kodi . . . . . reminds me of "Koda" from "Brother Bear" . . . . . . . .

I wonder, does his name have anything to do with Alaska? My only reason for asking is, for example: Aleu was probably named after the group of islands in Alaska. Can you back this one up?

 So far, so good!

IMO: I think the villian will most likely be a human. I mean, humans hated Balto at first because of his wolf-like appearance and such. What if one/some of them still have a grudge on him?

I didn't remember how long the first Two "Balto" movies were. I just thought They were to short(Wich is a complament to how good They were) Knowing that "Balto 3'" is longer than either "Balto 1 or 2" makes Me feel better  So Thank You. To Juuchan 17: Kodi could be named after Kodiack(SP?) Island. To Fluke: Thanks for letting us know His name

The storyline seems interesting, and I find myself feeling optimistic.  Maybe this will be the movie that Balto 2 should have been?  Either way, I'm getting my paws on a DVD as soon as it's avalible.

While I don't think Steele's returning, it'd be a bit weird to see him as villian again.  I mean with the exception of TV shows, animation doesn't usually recycle such things.  And considering the first Balto and Wolf Quest, I don't think it'd be a wolf either.  It would pretty much undo all that first two films did.  

I find the idea of a villian being a human to be much more creative.  The weather could work, but it's hard to give that a really good personality.  Then again, Jack London did it.  Hmm....

84-108767392015 Aug 2004, 21:18 UTC

A lot of exciting info, a lot to look forward too. �Come to think of it, I'm not really sure what to expect as far as the antagonist goes for this story. �From what I could make out on the cover, I didn't see anyone in the background that was "evil" looking. �I remember that Steel, and Niju were both on the covers of the prequels (at least on the U.S. covers). �I doubt Steel will return, which is dissapointing, as�I would like to see him make a comeback. �I don't like the idea of them creating yet another villian in this series. �And Balto vs. the elements sounds kinda weak to me. �But, I guess it could work.

Heh. �That would be really funny. �It would basically be the original writers shooting down the creators of WQ, saying that that storyline wasn't good enough to be real.

But, whatever the case may be, I'm seriously thinking about ordering the movie from overseas when it comes out in October. �Because from what it sounds like, it may not be hitting the US until early 2005. �And I'm not gonna wait another 4 months+. �I can't wait to see it!

83-106196074115 Aug 2004, 23:33 UTC

this might have been mentioned.. but what if .. Balto 3 was Balto 1 1/2?  Wolf quest could've taken place after the first movie... bleh,probably not..

about the Balto 2 dream sequence.. heh, maybe not:)..  

I wonder if we can get a Codi plush or something.. I so wanted Balto 2 stuff back in the day ..

Cody is also the name of the boy from Rescuers Down Under

I leave for a few days and I end up missing 4 pages of valuable information. �

Anywho, I love speculate as much as the next guy, but in order to not crush my hopes and dreams, I'm just gonna wait it out and see what Universal has to offer. It's not that I don't think it'll be good; I just don't want to get all these ideas in my head and end up disappointed.

And to divert from my almost pessimistic attitude, I would like to state that I am really looking forward to this movie (as most of you probably are). �


And on a side note, I just made my 500th post. �

Thank you Baltolover, perhaps I should have named my site "Balto 3 source"

Actually, this is Kodi, not Cody. But I noticed the same thing, as well as Koda from Brother bear.
As for the netherlands site: in fact, on the russian site, it is written: "production site: netherlands" so perhaps it is not really the russian date but the netherlands date. If this release date is true, I might try import it from there too, since France seems to be (for now) far the last european country where it will be released, whereas Netherlands are only a few miles away...

EDIT : Here is a list of netherlands shops selling Balto 3, four of them are stating it with the same release date : September 30th, 2004, so the netherlands will surely be one of the first country to have it. (with russia)

98-109132677017 Aug 2004, 03:02 UTC

Yet another Austrailian site with Balto 3.  However, this site says that the release date is October 13, not October 27.  Is this an error, or is it a website giving phony information?   http://www.devoteddvd.com.au/shop....d=13691

83-106196071817 Aug 2004, 21:14 UTC

Hello

Wow, you leave for a month and look at what you miss!  I've read through this entire thread, and I am very optimistic and excited now for Balto 3.  Thank you so much steetboris for providing the information!

I'm with both of you I'm getting my paws on that DVD when it comes out and I'm getting excited already!!!

74-108043194718 Aug 2004, 13:41 UTC

I think I'm going to rent it first when it comes out. If I like it, I'll most likely buy it (on DVD this time! ). If not, I will probably still buy it anyway. I mean, we've waited this long for it, why not buy it!

I wish we knew more info about the movie though. Maybe new characters (besides Kodi), some of the challenges they have to go through, maybe some teasers . . . . .

Oh well! Bah!

It still sounds pretty interesting!

115-108568278522 Aug 2004, 21:40 UTC

I've updated the topic with the translation of a netherland site that provides a summary of the scenario for the film.
This is the complete translation:

Balto and his sled-dog friends are worried. The delivering of mail by airplane is a big success and they feel neglected. Until the mail delivery plane crashes and Balto and his companions get to show their true value.
This high quality animated movie is made by Steven Spielberg's Amblimation Studio. From the writers of "Barbie In: The Princess And The Pauper" and "Littlefoot And His Friends (Land Before Time)". The character of Balto is based on a true story. Balto is not just a story about a dog, it's a story about the value of nature, self-discovery and adventure.

A bit different from my interpretation of the japanese information. Pretty cool, don't you think?   I think this is a much better scenario to stick with the first! Too bad they mixed the information on B3 with things related to the first...
By "Balto and his sled-dog friends", do they mean the trio? Me want more info

if the trio is in it, i wonder who'd do the voices...

As far as I know the Trio's voices are all Voice Actors by trade. Nikki's voice(Jack Angel)has done many voices. so if the Trio returns(And I think they will because it dosen't make since to Me to introduse a new one)I think their original voices wll too. That would be cool

"Carl Weathers" will be a voice actor, is he famous?

The name sound famillure, But I can't place it. Could the artwork Characters been scraped In favor of the original Trio? Edit by SimbasGuard on August 23 ,2004 at 1:30 AM Carl Weathers played Apollo in the "Rocky" movies that's famous enough for Me

115-108568278524 Aug 2004, 12:20 UTC

Ah yes, Rocky...In fact, I never saw the movies, but as a coincidence, I got the video game on my gc for cheap a month ago    I wonder what type of character he would give his voice...Maybe a villan?

That could very well be. I like getting more info, But it makes it that much harder to wait
