Trailer for balto 3 !

Started by steetboris on 10 Sep 2004, 13:16 UTC · 150 preserved posts

I just found it today, on the official japanese Universal site! To watch it, just go to my site! Warning, DON'T watch it if you don't want to be spoiled, as it contains HEAVY SPOILERS! (The only thing I will say is : Wow!!! :D )
ooooh!!! Awesome.. Looks really promising, and better animated than WQ.

I�m PRETTY sure I saw Kaltag in the sled team, so.. The trio may be back! YAY!

WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

Actuallyu in the japanese page its seems that there is a VHS VERSION!!!!
That does look promising. The animation still doesn't look as good as the original, better than wolfquest but it is still lacking something. I know the original had a much higher budget but tecnology has changed in 9 years so you could easily acheive that feel.

But it looks interesting.. I am definately gonna buy it and yeah I thought I saw  Kaltag too.. and heard Nikki. Fingers crossed.
After watching it, I felt a bit strange lol! Not that it isn't what I expected (because it IS), but after so much speculations, it was as if a bomb exploded! :D
Yes, the only thing which disapoints me a bit is the drawings, because it still has a "Wolf Quest" look and I think LBT 10 looked better. But IMO the animation itself is much better and I don't see major flaws as it was the case in the animation of Wolf Quest. At the same time, I don't think they could do really better if Universal decided to put a low budget on it. They used 3D to make lower costs, but the drawings are still what costs the most, and new technology has its limits...Well, it's still better than WQ, and that's the most important.
I'm also glad that "some major characters here" (I'm sure you know who I mean...) seem to not be as annoying as they were in WQ, and more useful !...:)
I don't think the old trio is in...I've watched it several times, made screenshots, but I don't see any of them. In fact, I think they believed they were "old" and didn't fit well in the movie, so they decided to replace them with other characters who have more or less the same role (ie the female dog who looks like Sylvie) Well, perhaps they were right to do that, we will have to watch it for real.
By the way, where's Kodi? When I said he would not be at the center of the story, do you believe me now? ^^ In fact, I think he is on one passage, but he clearly hasn't a major role in it. (at first I thought it was Jenna in this passage lol :p )
OMG! That was horrible! I can't believe it was just about balto and the stupid planes!! Where is his son? Argh! The animation was ok but IMO the plot stinks!! Evil Universal!
Nice! :D Looking forward to see the movie even more than I used to.
I think I can honestly say I'm still not really interested in buying it. The trailer did look somewhat promising but I don't really want to waste my money on something that isn't good.

God, why are they adding in a female goose to the picture? It's bad enough they have those two stupid polar bears and boris in this one.
now just how cool is that! I looked everywhere for this..I will defintly be checking this out when it's avalible!
Thank You steetboris. The movie looks great! I also don't think The trailer spoiled anything
I also don't see it as spoiler-rific.  In fact, it actually peaked my interest in the movie.  I'm actively looking forward to it now.  Sure, there looks like there might be a few new (maybe somewhat annoying) characters, but the story seems to be solid.  At least they're returning to dog sledding.  And there could be some nice potiental for a history lesson as well. ;)

Am I the only one not surprised by the animation style?  I mean the same animators worked on the film.  I didn't expect a change of style at all.  I just hope they learned a few lessons from Wolf Quest.

And thanks a lot for sharing the clip, Boris.
Cool! I'm more looking forward to seeing the movie now. Thanks for showing us the clip.
I thought the animation looked good. not as good as the original, But the only DTV movie that can make that claim is Lion King 1 1/2, And Balto's eye's are Yellow again(I know that was said before, But it's nice to have visual proof :D )

Uh...as far as I know, I never said the contrary...Universal has always released their movies on both.

Yes, only TLK 1 1/2 had an animation on pair with the original, but TLK is also the most popular Disney, so they could put a big budget on it.

I also don't see it as spoiler-rific.

Well, even with the *spoiler* warning I put, it seems everyone has rushed to watch it  :p

Well, I think I said it before, but I think LBT 10 is better drawn and has undergone a major improve in 2 years. Maybe it's just the trailer who gives me this feeling, but anyway I'm still satisfied with the animation in B3.  :)
Mmmm, I will see it because I love balto but I dont think I will buy it, unless its really good. Yeah, whats up with the female goose, I suppose they thought it was time to pair up Boris!
I didnt see a sign of Baltos son!?
Actually, Kodi is in the trailer, in one or two passages. He looks a lot like Jenna, so you may have confused him with her, but he is one of the dogs under the crate in the boiler room, and also the red dog just behind Balto in the sled. But, the fact he is on the cover makes me think he still has a greater role in the movie, and the trailer just don't show it.

EDIT: not related to the subject, but I've found that the IMDb.com database has added a page for Balto 3. And guess where they got the few info they have?... On my site...LOL !  :D
Balto the Aviation Enthusiast?  Cute!

Trailer looks very good.  Definitely can't wait to see it.  Why does it have to be released outside the U.S. first!!   :angry:

Only one problem, though.  Mr. Trailer Voice didn't say, "Share the adventure!"  WTF?  I WANNA SHARE THE ADVENTURE DAMMIT!   ;)
*Jmps up and down in chair* Ooo that was good I cant wait to see it :p
:0 WOW!!It's very interesting^^...I think,Balto3 look strange.. lol,However I will waiing to see it:) .
Finally a trailer!
When will the American trailer be shown?

[QUOTE]
Pinned ya again!
I think the american trailer will be the same, without the japanese subtitles...And you probably won't see a trailer soon, since there is still absolutely no news on the american release. (nor on the UK one, which is even more strange...)
AHHH!
*faints from excitement*
This sounds very  interesting!?
I just watched the trailer like 20 times and I have to say I'm really excited now!! I just wished I knew when it was coming out in Canada....because then I wouldn't always have to look for it and I would just know when to expect it.....oh well...

But thanks Steetboris did you do this all for Balto 2 WQ as well or just Balto 3. Because you must be a pro at this!!

~baltolover99
That was very interesting! You are the bomb, steetboris! I didn't see Kodi either. I definately saw Jenna (with her bandanna again . . .) but I never saw Kodi. Maybe I should watch the trailer again . . . for the tenth time or so . . .
I didn't see any spoilers (even though I've read steetboris' spoilers, and that not that bad. Just very obvious), but I'm still interested in buying it!
I hope it'll be released by Christmas 2004 (Thankgiving holiday would be nice too! ) in the US and other countries that haven't received a release date yet!

Spend your Christmas with Balto! whee!

:laugh:

hmmm.. I guess you shouldn't judge a dog's color by it's DVD cover..  *wonders if we'll see any Balto 3 merch* *hopes*

heh, must be a rule that the sidekicks have to have a girlfriend. :p
I got to see it in TBL chat. It looks very promising; much more so than WQ. I feel very good about the next (and hopefully last) installment of Balto.  ;)
Actually, I just downloaded the trailer from steetboris' site, and I finally saw Kodi! You're right, he is in the crate scene, but I was surprised by one thing: He looks like Aleu! His color, his markings, everything! You look for yourself and pause the trailer at that part! You'll see that Kodi is not a Jenna-clone as once thought, but actually an Aleu-clone! That's scary!

:Oo: Except for the wolf part, Kodi is very similar to Aleu. And the fact that he's a guy . . . . . dog . . . . . yeah . . . .

Did anyone else notice this?

BTW: During the ending part of the trailer, why is it just Balto and crew? Where's Kodi? I think that he's just on the cover because his "daddy's" in the movie. Plus I hope this movie is the last, because these things are still in the series:
- Boris (please kill off the goose . . . he's annoying)
- Muk and Luk (still as cubs . . . grow up already! leave the nest and be wild! )
- Jenna (seems by the looks of things, she won't have a big part in the movie. that's sad . . . where did the spunky Jenna go?)

Strange, ne?

That's true, But that was because I have Yet to see a Trailer that spoiled the movie. Thank You again :D  The Female goose could be Boris's Sister(though GirlFriend is My first Choice Too)
OH WOW!!!!
I can't play it. >.< It won't let me and it ought to.:/

But I do have to say, it's annoying they haven't said a UK/US date yet.:( We always seem to be getting the releases last!
Hhmmm. Yeah that is annoying that they haven't givin it a US date. BUT I don't think I'm gonna rent it or buy it. I thought it was gonna be mostly about his son- like in WQ. IMO that would be more interesting.
Looks pretty good, and it looks a lot better than WQ.  I was hoping to see the trio, but I don't think we will.  :(  I wish the four annoying characters weren't in there, but oh well.  The way the female goose talks, it's almost like she's Boris' relative or something.  I just hope the movie is as good as it looks in the trailer, if not better.
I wouldn't really considering Kodi to be an "Alue Clone," more less a Balto clone.
Er, cool, but could someone give me the link for the trailer? Thanks.

He has Balto's color but Aleu's markings . . . . But in the trailer he resembles Aleu in more ways than one . . . he has a slight "wolfish" look.
I think I'm getting this whole clone business.. If the kids look like their parents, they're clones. But in a few cases, like with Kodi, he's a clone of his sister.. I didn't even know siblings could be clones of each other.
Well there are identical twins, so maybe that's what they're going for.   ???  :Oo:

There's no way that Aleu and Kodi are "identical" if they are from the same litter. (According to what steetboris says, Kodi is one of Aleu's litteremates, but that seems impossible if he looks so much like her! *see one of the Balto 3 threads (I think it's the Balto 3 cover thread) for my explanation on why I believe Kodi is not one of Aleu's littermates . . long story!*)

It's weird. First everyone says that Kodi is a Jenna-clone and now it appears that those people were probably wrong! I knew it! The previous covers were pretty much on the money for Kodi's colors!

Has anyone else seen this?

And Greykitty: Aleu and Kodi are no way identical twins. Identical, yes. Twins, . . . . no. (see "Balto 3 cover" thread for rant on this)

EDIT: Actually, my rant is on the "Balto 3 info" thread, not the cover thread! Oopsies!
:Oo: ?...Kodi is one of Jenna's clone. I really don't see anything Aleu or wolfish when I look at him. (even less a Balto clone...) And I think it's the case for most people, because we all confused him with Jenna...


Do you honestly thinks he looks more like Aleu than Jenna here??
One thing I just noticed is the music. It sounds really similar to the original, listen to the original trailor (on my site under the movie clip section) and then listen to the music that kicks in about 13 seconds into the B3 trailor. Pretty close! I don't know if thye have copied it or have just stayed close to the original but it sounds quite nice.
Yes, I noticed this too, and it's quite nice. But the music used in the trailer for the first isn't the actual music from the movie, and it was the same for WQ, so this mustn't be the music from the third. The thing I would like though, is that they used the music themes from the first one to make the soundtrack for the third.  :)

Like a remixed soundtrack for the third movie?  If it was well done, I wouldn't mind hearing it either.  My last few experiences with remixes from the original of something were quite pleasant. ;)

That's not Kodi . . . .
Kodi has Aleu's markings . . �see the Balto 3 cover . . . .
I think Kodi is the one in the lower right corner. He looks more like the cover that way . . . .

EDIT: (peeks at the newest Balto 3 cover)*shudders*
Ok . . . I'll admit it. I was wrong. That one IS Kodi. The cover changes suck! The one in the lower corner is like a version of the "Old Kodi" from the first few covers that where shown. But the Jenna-clone is Kodi, alright.
Are you happy, steetboris? You were right! Does everyone hear this?

Kodi is a freakin' Jenna-clone!!!!
*faints . . . . .*

So, does that mean that the blue-eyed Jenna-clone pup (from Wolf Quest) was Kodi? I can't tell from the darkness of the trailer and the old covers have him as a blue-eyed pup. The new ones are too dark to tell.
But I thought all of the pups got adopted! If the Jenna-clone is Kodi, where's his collar? The "Aleu-clone" has a collar, as do the other dogs in the scene. Hmm . . . . .
Oh well! We'll all know the truth when the movie is officially released, I guess!
No, I'm not happy, I just thought you headed the wrong way. But I would have prefer him to be from another litter or being adopted. But I guess that's not really important now that we know he hasn't a major role in the movie. (which sounds still strange to me, since he's on the cover...oh, well...)
Another thing I still don't really understand (this pic made me think), is why they did have to make new characters instead of getting back the old ones, especially the sled dogs. Well, at least they won't suffer character/voices changes, this way...Maybe that was to give some work to various drawers?  :D (as one of them told me, Universal hire several drawers for making the concept art, instead of hiring only one like Disney does)
At least Kodi has Balto's paws, As for His collar Maybe He just dosen't like to ware one(Yes I know that answer is lame, But it's the only one i can think of) Edit by SimbasGuard Sept. 14,2004 10:26PM Or Maybe Kodi dosen't become a sled dog untill Balto talks Him into It(Yeah this one is lame too)

Maybe. Or else Kodi discovers stuff about Balto that Aleu and the others never found out: he was a sled dog (not an official one, of course) and a hero that saved their town a few years back before they were born. Then he is inspired by his dad to follow in his pawprints to become a sled dog hero too . . . .
Maybe . . . .

Note: Aleu is probably the only one in the litter that knows about the "part-wolf" stuff, remember? If only the others knew . . . . .

Oh well!
Your Theory is much better than mine Juchan 17, and I bet Your right about only Aleu knowing of Her Wolf Heritage :D

The music is actually from Iron Will.
Sorry for not posting in a while.. I just sorta forgot my password a long while ago.  But, this is great news about Balto!  I can hardly wait for it to come out!  

Is that red husky in the boiler room Kodi or whom?
Yeah, or at least most of us think so.
I'm not sure what to believe at the moment. If the trailer introduced Kodi (almost how Balto 2 showed Aleu), then I would be happy that this situation of a lost identity crisis would be over. But since we are all unsure of which dog is Kodi, the situation still lingers onward . . .

At least until the release! Whee . . . .

Maybe some other country that is getting the movie soon (as in a few weeks from now) will help us by solving this mystery for us!

Or we can continue to guess and wait until we watch the movie for ourselves!

Which do you guys prefer?

I want to see the movie for Myself. I am certain that the red Husky is Kodi. He looks to much like Jenna not to be ome of Her(And Balto's)Pups
Well, Kodi has huge paws like Balto.  He does look like Jenna.  Just a huge mixture... But, I just don't understand that the cover gave a terrible appearance of him.  Gosh!
I'd suggest a nice simmering down.  It's not worth breaking a blood vessel trying to over analyze the movie plot. ;)  And rarely does cover art do a Universal movie justice.  well, not Balto and not since 1996, anyway. ^^;
Heh! Nice! I like it. I don't think that there's as many spoilers in it as people say though...
Spoilers? I dunno, maybe there's more to Balto than what we think *winks*
I agree with Silver...The analysing and working out animated dog genetics and trying to figure out what a movie is going to be about before it ever COMES out is getting a bit over the top. I don't think people do this with the vast majority of films...I certainly don't. I see a trailer, I think *hmmm I might like to see that* and I wait till I see it to find out more about it. Just wait and see.
Yeah . . . . wait until everyone else finds out what happens only because there's no release date for the US yet!

This whole conversation is probably keeping us fans busy until the movie finally is released here.

Besides, I think it's getting interesting! Ahh, mixing genetics with Balto . . . education is fun with movies!

:p

I also don't think us trying to figure out which dog Kodi is is spoiling anything. It's fun! It's like a guessing game of some sort! Whee!
Especailly, when it's animated. �Now, that is educationally fun to see what the animators did in the course of the movie goes. �:)

A comment about movie covers: �

But, yet, lately, Disney, Universal and other filming companies haven't had a good movie cover for anything, anymore. �I liked the old covers of the 90's. �Those were interesting. �Now, they really suck a paw or two. �I'm sick of crappy covers. :angry:
A female goose would suggest, to me, that they've run out of a plot and had to throw another relationship into the story in an attempt to make it interesting. I have great fear kindling inside me. However, the animation does seems a little more promising than WQ. ;)
Maybe a little bit. but not much.... When you say female goose yo8u eman boris gionna get a gurlfriend? Thsi I gotta see? It'll be corny but I gatta see it anyway. Ain't boris old? :???:
As I said before the Female Goose could be Boris's Sister. Now that I think about it Wo)lf May be on to something She dose seem to Young to be a love interest for Boris

I thought she might be a relative, just by the way she talks to all of them in the trailer.
When I first knew that there is a female version of Boris in the film (and that was even before we got the trailer...), I thought it was a really bad idea. But now that I've seen the trailer, I'm a bit less sure, and I think it can be interesting. Guess we'll have to wait to see the film, cause it will all depends on how she fits in the plot, how she's acting etc...
I don't see any pourpose she could possibly serve other than acting as a lover for boris. Im jsut being real... What other use isw there for a female goose hanging around a wolf and two bears.
Comic relief maybe?  Like the polar bears, even though they aren't funny.
I don't usually say this, but : Wait & See... :)
Only a week left to the release in the netherlands (which is the first country to have it), and 2 months for the french one. Still no US date, sorry  :(
That's okay, Steetboris...

As long as the Balto release date will come sooner OR later.  I don't care if it comes to video and DVD in February or March of next year.  I understand my friend, DSW is wetting her fur every time she talks about the whole thing.  *sighs*  I'm not saying I want it, I'm just saying a possible date for movie.  I'm not a director or producer.  But, I can help with the reasearching if you want me to, Steetboris.  I can really be a huge help to you...

Yours,

I don't hold You resposible for that either steetboris  :) Edit by SimbasGuard Sept. 23,2004 3:06AM I just realised that the Female Goose dose not have an accent. so She must not be Boris's Sister
i swear, if the next sequel is called goose quest.....
lol!   i cant get the trailer to work can anyone help me?

Lol, I don't think Universal would be THAT dumb! I'm sure even the children would still prefer a Balto film with dogs/wolves.

What's exactly your problem? Do you have a PC with Windows Media Player?
Why do they have to keep adding the stupid geese and polar bears. Grrr. I suppose they want to have a wider span of different characters, but still, I only really care about the dog and wolf characters! The bears just get in the way and idiotise everything. (sorry if anyone is a Muk & Luk fan!;)
I thought they were ok in the first one, but they really don't serve a purpose.  They just keep getting dumber too.
lol well, they served some purpose in the first movie (the part where Balto is trapped underwater), but after that...yeah, they were pretty much useless except for moping around hoping Balto comes back...

Can it really be worse than in WQ? I don't see how lol  :p
what i think is odd thou is that in the trailer, you didn't see kodi at all. if he's not that important than why would he be on the cover.
but good news for the sled trio fans, i think they are in it. during the trailer i heard kaltag and or nikki's voice.

anyways, this one looks a little more promising. i want to know what the deal is with our new female goose.
Quote (Ookami @ Sep. 25 2004,6:25, pm)

Kodi is in the trailer. In five scenes, But only for a split second each time :) I think It's odd that Kodi dosen't say anything. I didn't hear Nikki or Kaltag's voice(though I'd love to see them)
Yes, Kodi's in there, and he looks like Jenna without her ribbon.
He don't say anything, but a stranger thing to me, is that Balto don't say more than 3 words in all the trailer! And, I think that everyone who believe they heard Nikki or Kaltag's voices are confusing with the musher's voice. But I'm 99% sure now that they didn't return. They replaced them with new characters who looks the same. At least, it's better than seeing them "flawed" with new voices, like some other characters in WQ (who said Jenna?)
BTW, there's the german trailer : here
(click on Trailer on the right menu) It's the same, with german voices, but it's a bit clearer. I think the animation is even better than what we've seen in the japanese trailer  :)
lol i guess i have to watch it again. and i thought i heard one of them when they were running with the sled in one sceen.
oh well, i guess you're right. we don't really want to hear them with "new" voices.
This is coolio research!  Keep going, Steetboris... I like everything you give us for info about this Balto 3... I can't wait anymorea!
It's kinda strange that when we write "new", it is written in red  :Oo: It will be out in less 5 days in the netherlands. And 2 months left for me  :)
EDIT : the red on "new" has disappeared, so I guess it was my computer...
and we don't have any confirmation on when it'll be out in the US huh?

I noticed that Kodi is the sled dog/ Jenna-clone that's behind Balto on his right side . . . . �You can see this during the sled part of the trailer . . . I thought it was Kodi talking during that scene . . . �maybe I'm wrong!

It would have been nice if Kodi really did say something so that we know what he sounds like . . . .
I guess he really is the mix of both Balto and Jenna . . �Jenna's appearance (very obvious) and Balto's . . . . male-ness?
j/k . . . . . :laugh:
I'll have to agree with you, steetboris . . . the German trailer does look better than the Japanese one . . . even though they are mainly similar . . .

Lol I agree with you on that one.   :cool:
Well, I noticed something.  Steetboris, guess what?  The Balto 3 movie's coming out on my cousin's b-day for your country!  Happy birthday present for him if he was french... :laugh:
the 1st movie came out in theaters on my birthday, talk about good birthday present, huh?
Not related to the trailer but...according to IMDB.com, Balto 3 is scheduled for a 2005 release in the USA. It seems rather logical, since there is still no site talking about the american version for now. I still think it will be this winter, I would say : february. We'll see if I'm right or not in a few months...
here's the page: balto 3 page
awww....well just as long as it comes out sometime in the near future.
That sucks . . . . . I was hoping for a holiday release . . . . . .

But that 2005 release isn't official yet, is it, steetboris?

I mean, hopefully it will be released in the winter at least . . . since WOC takes place in the wintertime . . . . right? Right??

I wanna see it so bad now! The trailer just doesn't cut it! Must see more! MORE! . . . . .

^__^;;
:D
My bad!
Man this is going to take forever. How do we even know if it goign to be realesed in the us at all.
well if these other places are gonna get it, the US will surely get it.
Yeah, we'll get it soon enough! I think Universal is trying to torture us by making us wait for this beloved sequel! For shame!

LOL . . . . :laugh:

Just kidding. Maybe it will be shown on TV before it's released. Wolf Quest was, am I right? (I'm not sure on this, but that's what I heard . . . God, I need cable . . . .) Maybe they were surpised on how well (?) WQ did that they might do it again for WoC! who knows?

Yes You are. "Balto 2" was shown on Cartoon Network before it was released on DVD and VHS. (I think) it was a week and a half before. Oh and Juchan 17 if "Balto 3" comes out in January 2005 that's still a Winter month :D
Well, actually if you think about it, that's a good move to delay it for the US until Feb. 2005 . It's the 10 year anniversary for the movie AND the 80 year anniversary of the syrum run. And to mention that the syrunm run was in February
thats awsome! then i guess it would mean more to release it then huh?
It's possible Beo, that would explain why they didn't wait to release it everywhere else. But I still think it's a marketing thing, because there are already too much animated movies coming out on DVD this christmas in the USA, and so Balto 3 wouldn't have a place and have poor sales. Anyway, the original was released in dec 1995, so it wouldn't really be the 10th anniversary for the movie...
Oh, and I believe that WQ did pretty well in sales terms, so it's highly possible that they will show it a few days earlier on Cartoon Network as they did for WQ.

And I don't think we want to wait until Dec. 2005 for this, do we?
I mean, that would be cool for the 10 year anniversary of the original movie in which WoC is based on, but other countries would already have had the same movie for at least a year . . . .

Hopefully, it'll be released in January/ February 2005. That sounds nice! Just in time to commemorate the serum run! Hoorah for Balto!

:laugh:

Hey, steetboris: What other animated movies are being released this holiday season? I know of Shrek 2 (November-ish . .), but what others?
Hum, I'm not really aware of the US release dates, but I think there will be Shrek 2, the collector edition for Aladdin, the same for  Mulan, the sequels to Aladdin, Mulan 2, Mickey twice upon a christmas, LBT 11, maybe Home on the range? And the incredibles in theaters. I think I still forget some.

Edit : I forgot to say that Balto 3 is out today in the netherlands. I know you're jealous, and I am too  :D
Edit 2 : While searching for a release date for B3 on the american Universal Pictures site, I didn't find any but found the LBT11 release date : 11/01/05. So, that's another proof it won't be coming before 2005.
Mulan 2. *shudders* �And in theaters you'll have the Incredibles, Shark Tale, and Polar Express.  Home on the Range and the 2nd tlk is out already too.


*edit sorry about that, I wasn't looking at the pages I was on and didn't see all those were already posted.

*shudders* Oh God! *faints*
Make it stop! The LBT series is not as important and cool as the Balto series! (with exception of two certain polar bears in Balto . . . but anyway . .)
Please, Universal! Kill off the LBT dinos and their weird sequels! Long live Balto and his amazing adventures! w00t!

:Oo: What was that?! . . . . .

Good point! I hadn't thought of that. Uh steetboris do You know what the subtitle of Land Before Time 11 is? I hope it's The Extinction :laugh:
If only it was The extinction, it would make things much more interesting lol, but no, it's The Invasion of the Tinysauruses. (much original...) And I read somewhere that a LBT 12 is in production, lol. I just wonder if in 10 years, they will have stopped, and if Disney will rejoin them by making 10 Lion king, Aladdin etc...
In fact, the only difference between Disney and Universal, is that Universal hasn't got many cartoon licenses, so they're exploiting them as much as they can...(Balto 4 in the near future? seems highly possible to me...if they don't change their marketing policy)

EDIT : there's a thing that ticked me when looking at the trailer...
Look at this : could this be STEELE on the left ?!?



Compare with a screen from the original :



I'm not really sure 'cause he looks rather small, and I still believe it's a dog looking like Steele because the trio isn't there (at least, we have no proof of the contrary), but...what do you think?
EDIT 2 : In fact, it must be Kodi...He has the same markings, he's at the same position in the team, and the constrast may make him more black than red.
when looking at the tail in the top pic, i can see hints of red. i think we are done with steele since he was a bad guy and bad guys usualy don't make a comeback...at least i don't think they do.

argah! more lbt! for crying out loud...but hey maybe that one will tell us the american release for woc
I agree with Ookami, it looks more like Kodi since he's smaller and there are hints of red in there.
and plus, steele is alot more trimmer.
Yes, this is Kodi. Mea culpa. I still think he looks like Steele on this screenshot, though. It would have been strange that Steele would be in the same team as Balto. Poor Balto, his son looks like Steele... :D  lol !!!

I hope it's The Exstinction(SP?) :laugh:

Well, I can only hope that 11 is the last one!!  And Invasion of the Tinysauruses?  What now?  Have the next generation of dinosaurs come?  I wonder what Universal sees in LBT?  Potential?  If it does, Universal needs a new marketing strategy.
that name alone makes me NOT want to see it
Quote (steetboris @ Oct. 01 2004,2:06, am)
The Invasion of the Tinysauruses

This sounds like they are getting smarter, there is in reallity that Medium size bones of dinosaurs. Take the T-Rex for example, They have found bones of Medium size T-Rex in Different areas around world. So if there is a Regular size T-Rex and Medium version, The medium one is pretty scared lol. But I'm going off the subject.
The title is awful.   :Oo:
very very awful. it sounds sci-fi to me :0
Yeah, I can see it now:
The LBT gang encounters a mutant group of "tinysaurs" that eventually destroy the LBT dinos and then they get killed by the "astroid" that ends the era of all dinos. The end!

:Oo:

BTW, steetboris: Love the pic of Kodi from the trailer! Which one was it from? I do agree with Kodi's resemblance to Steele . . . that's a funny one!  :laugh:
Guess I'm not the only one who hates the title, which IMO is the worst yet!! �One thing I don't understand with Universal is how they are dragging their feet in releasing B3, but they are rushing all the LBT sequels like they think people will flock to the stores just to buy it!!

As for Balto's son looking like Steele, that would be really strange,  yet ironic...  Your son looks like your former nemesis...  *shudders*
I don't think it will ever end, as I said there will be a LBT 12. They stopped making DTV sequels for An american tail though (they made two), so they can also stop making sequels to Balto too. Only the future will tell. But it still annoys me that they are giving more attention to these LBT sequels than the Balto ones...

Well Land Before Time 10 was good so maybe Land Before Time 11 will be good too(I however doubt it). I think We all can agree  that the only reason Kodi looks like Steel is because of the lighting in that scene. As for "Balto 4" it could happen(Wich I'd Love if the Story was great),But An American Tail only had  Two Direct to Vidieo sequels so it's a toss up
O_o Fieval goes west was a DTV sequel? lol wow, didn't look like one at all, from what i remember :laugh: . Anyway, a Balto 4 movie could be possible. It just depends, as always, on how much material they have left to use. Maybe something especially involving Muk and Luk (hopefully to get rid of them)? I dunno...
How old are these dino's in this LBT Movies, Shouldn't they be teen's by now with lower voices!!!!!!! ???
who knows...and shouldn't littlefoots grandparents be dead by now? i know his grandpa almost died in one.
Shouldn't they all be dead by now?

Yes . . . . .

Balto 4? Hmm . . . . sounds tempting . . .  but no. That's way too much! Unless it eventually involves Muk and Luk going bye-bye . . .  :laugh: Then I'll love it. Otherwise, leave the Balto series at three: Balto, Wolf Quest and Wings of Change. If you guys want more, write fanfictions . . . . those always work!

;)

No that one was Theatrical :D  The DTV sequels I speek of are The Treasure of Manhattan Island and The Mystery Of The Night Monster. I reinterate My Original stance on "Balto 4" If the story is Great go for it
Alright lol thanks for clearing that up. I never heard of the night monster one, but after seeing the mystery of manhattan island....i don't plan to see it >_<
Yes, Fievel goes west was a true theatrical one, with maybe an even higher budget than the first one. And from what I've seen of the two DTV sequels, those were really bad DTV sequels. It conforts me to the fact that they are getting better and better at these sequels, maybe one day they will get close to the theatrical originals...
lol yeah. Then they'd become basically the same thing, so the companies will mke yet another branch to make cheapquels for. At least that's what i think may happen. Everything will repeat itself over again...
Me didn't really like fivel.

I saw Mystery of Manhattan Island, too.  Forgettable songs, rather weak plot, mediocre characters, but the bright spot is that it's kinda historically correct  :D .  But Universal actually did something right by not making any more after the Night Monster one!! :D   Unlike another series that we all know too well...
Some new B3 screenshots :





ack.....can't....zoom....in.... lol. Is there anyway to enlarge these? *squints*
Awesome screens, steetboris! Where did you get them? Unless you have the movie yet . . . I wish I could zoom in or see it bigger too . . . Looks good to me!

*Eagerly awaiting US release date for B3 . . .*
Excellent screen-cuts, Steetboris.  Glad to see that Jenna wasn't cut out of the film, heh.  Ooh, they also decided to add humans in as well! What a concept for a town...;)
Looks nice. Thanks steetboris :D
I found that on a foreign language site, but I forgot to bookmark it...No, you can't enlarge them. By the way, I've updated my site with a few things, so you may check it  :)
Thanks for the Screenshots Streetboris.
I cannot wait to watch the Movie. I hope to get it tomorrow.
i forgot to mention this in my earlier post, and it's a little too late to edit it, but thanks for showing us those screens, steet ^_^
Ok Balto_1982. But please, try not to talk much about it...(or even, don't talk about it at all), especially here where only a very little percent of the people will be able to see it. Did you see commercials for it, though? On TV for example? I know there won't be much advertisement for this, but...
Awesome. It looks great!This is my dog, Shadow.
Cool drawing.  :D
Nice drawing wolfvane14 but I believe that belongs in the art section of TIB. ;)

Who cares if someone talks about it? If someone wants to know info, they can PM someone that's seen it. Nuff said . . .

Just as long as the other person keeps everything "hush hush" and crap . . .

To tell you the truth . . . I don't care! I've read the so-called "spoilers" on steetboris' site . . . and there are no real spoilers . . . trust me! Go ahead! It won't change my mind about buying it anyway!

Stupid Universal . . . not releasing B3 until 2005 . . . . . BAH! *bashes Universal peoples with a heavy mallet*

*Note: Please don't flame me or anything. Had to get that off my chest . .*
But Juchan17 now that You've bashed Them in the Head They may delay "Balto 3" even longer.......NOOOOOOOOOOO!:laugh:
Oopsie . . . . �:D

I think I actually made them lose their memory and they will release it now . . . ! :love:

But really, I think it would be nice to release it by the end of this year . . �for our own sake! We're going crazy! (Esp. me . . . with my ranting and crap)

They should at least put some good extras on the B3 DVD for the US, if they're making us wait this long!
It would be nice to have more extras on "Balto 3" especially sence I heard the extras on The "Balto" DVD didn't work Maybe it's taking so long because Their're going to put the extras that didn't work on "Balto" on "Balto 3". O.K. not likely, But it would be a nice  way for Universal to apologize to the People Who bought "Balto" on DVD
I do think the people responsible for the extras on the DVDs really don't care...the Balto 3 DVD has the same extras everywhere, and it's really poor (a trailer for LBT 10 and a game, that's all) They even didn't spent time on making subtitles. But at least, they used a 5.1 sound on all tracks this time...(yeah, I know you americans don't care, since B2 had a 5.1 sound for you) Except from the 5.1 thing, I don't really understand why they used a 9 Go disk to fit the film...
But, since the extras on the american versions for B1 & 2 were completely different, it's not impossible that B3 will have different extras when it will come out in the US.
I don't think they care about the extras because die hard Balto fans who do care are few and far between. These sequels are aimed at young children who wouldn't have the patience to watch the movie a second time let alone boring extras of how animation is made etc. I know we would all love to have stuff like that but it probably won't happen

I wouldn't be so sure of that...you just have to look at the number of Balto fan sites, compared to the number of fansites for other animated movies (even well known) to see that there is more Balto fans in proportion than most animated movies.
Well actually no, when you look at the number of sites against world population or possibly compare to a disney movie such as The Lion King.

Also out of those sites, how many are actually active and how many were quickly made after that person saw Balto once and thought wow best movie ever, until they saw another movie the next week and thought the same. The number of sites is then reduced to a very small number I could count on one, possible two hands
I think AC is right...most likely the population of *die hard Balto Fans* is right here in TIB and TBL. Thats roughly 460 people out of billions in the world. Very very very very small population. 460 people are not going to make a difference to a megacorporation like Universal. And it costs money to create those extras.  That'd cut into their profits if they had to spend a bit more to create extras that actually work. Having been around the community for going on 5 years now, I can agree with AC...people grow up, they lose interest in Balto websites and they find new things to entertain themselves. Very few stick around and keep their sites active, let alone interesting.
Aww . . . . how sad . . .

Die-hard Balto fansites = Endangered species
