Good    And unlike Wolf Quest, I believe it's a good thing, because I think that most people who didn't plan to buy it, will buy it after having seen it.    What is your source?

Heres a pic of CN's airing schedule...

115-108568278521 Jan 2005, 16:51 UTC

Ok, so you got to click on "see all showings" to see further  
They are also playing the original just behind, that's good news  
But I think they should have showed the third AFTER the original, but well...

Nice find Lowes. While my anticipation is extremely high, I think I'll pass on it. I'd rather wait a few extra days and see it commercial-free. Of course, that's what I say now. I will most likely change my mind by the time the 30th rolls around.

Wow. Such great news!

I might have to see whether I can look at it on someone's TV here at college . . . . . but I might watch it. If I miss it, there's always buying the DVD two days later!

Oh finally, and yes, its gonna be be clearer than the VCD

74-108043194722 Jan 2005, 06:04 UTC

Fortunately, we get to see it a couple of hours before the YTV showing of it . . . .

(No offense to the Canadian Balto fans out there! )

Do you have a VCR, Tala?  You can always tape it, or you can just wait until the 1st. ^_^;

It'll give me something to do next Sunday.  I'm looking forward to a good quality version of the movie, but I can do without the commericals.  So, I'll probably end up watching it on Sunday, then buying it on Tuesday.

Oh good I was hoping they would do that too. I can now tape it and not worry about buying it. Even though fast forwarding through comercials gets annoying after a while.

I just hope everyone won't react the same way, or Universal will not care anymore about that license. (they already don't care much...) But seeing that Wolf Quest had strong sales (which surprise me because it was a major disapointment at the time), this will probably the same with WoC. And I would also say that I'm expecting some people who wouldn't have bought it if they haven't seen it before  
So, they are showing adverts during the films? Even cartoons? Wow, that's even worse than in France...

My bad...I thought it said thurs Jan 30th

83-108302525623 Jan 2005, 08:04 UTC

I'll watch It Sunday ,And buy It, Tusday

65-106196054224 Jan 2005, 18:41 UTC

I'll be waiting to see it on the 1st: no commercials, and DVD quality.

68-108707261930 Jan 2005, 18:44 UTC

I saw it just now.  It was interesting.  I like Kodiak.  Even though, he was so pocessed with the fact of being a hero.  In the end, it was awesome.  Right during those credits, they start the first movie.  During!  But, that's okay!

76-106196064530 Jan 2005, 18:45 UTC

heheh, not to worry, i had to go to Church this morning, but, i had a fresh VHS tape recordin' in my VCR, i have my own copy of B3 now

68-108707261930 Jan 2005, 19:00 UTC

The only thing that erased my interest in the movie is Stella.  She's such an annoying character.  Sometimes, I wonder why they created a character like her.  Disgusting like Fluke had to comment.  (I think it was Fluke.)  I didn't like Stella at all.  But, otherwise, great movie for little kids.  

74-108043194730 Jan 2005, 19:12 UTC

I think I'll wait on a big review for when I watch my copy of WoC (probably on Friday; I'll try to buy it on Tuesday, but with my schedule for classes, I'll be too busy to watch it . . . maybe Thursday night perhaps) . . .

Weird, Stella didn't seem to bad in the end. I just couldn't tolerate her entrance and the song . . . *shudders* And in a kid's movie too!

90-110494945730 Jan 2005, 20:56 UTC

I didn't get to see the whole movie, since it was half way over when I turned it on at 12:00. I might get it on DVD this week. Hopefully on Tuseday.

78-110711749731 Jan 2005, 02:10 UTC

Oh, dangit! I was planning on watching it (I knew that had the premier of WOLF QUEST and I figured they'd have WINGS OF CHANGE, too) but I missed it.

Actually, I had a chance to watch at least one-third of it, but I had to tend to my horse- she has this weird eye infection. Trust me, though, I'd rather have her okay than watch B3 right at that moment- I'll just buy it on Feb. 3

I'm real sorry I missed it, though.

I can definately see room for a Balto 4 . . . . Anyone else?

Yes I'd love to see another Balto Movie!(If It is well maide of  Course) I loved Jenna's song To Lowes4803: Cartoon Network May have Edited Balto 3. That makes Me feel good I thought The movie went by Very fast.

83-106196071631 Jan 2005, 16:12 UTC

There were commericals about every 10 minutes.  It was fairly annoying in that respect and one reason why I don't care too much for movies on TV.  Whenever advertisements are involved something always gets lost.

I personally could have done without the Boris/Stella parts of the movie.  Sometimes I found them slightly annoying or out of place, other times they amused me a little.  But like I said in the past, the movie was MUCH better than Wolf Quest to me, as it was more like the original.  I really enjoyed the little references they had here and there.  

I wouldn't have minded seeing more of Kodi and his fellow team mates.  They were fairly interesting and I would have liked to have known more about their characters.  I'm also not disappointed with the fact that Muk and Luk hardly got any air time.

The songs weren't that bad really.  Other than the strange bit with Stella, the other two were well placed.

I don't know if I like the idea of a Balto 4.  How much more can Universal do and still expect to Balto meaningful?

115-108568278531 Jan 2005, 18:07 UTC

Every 10 minutes...* dies * If it was the same in France, I wouldn't watch TV anymore, that's for sure... And it's not a free channel?! That's plain horrible...

I think I agree with all that

It's still not sure, and we don't know anything. So the best thing to do would be : wait & see...

74-108043194731 Jan 2005, 18:43 UTC

It did seem to go by fast. I was mainly surprised by the fact that it started exactly at noon! (Most movies might have a short trailer-like description before the movie actually starts) I agree, there was too many adverts. I really think that some bits were edited out (why edit? It's a short movie anyway), but at least we all (in the US) can watch it in its entirely tomorrow!

yay. let's celebrate for WoC! w00t.

69-110464574401 Feb 2005, 02:58 UTC

Yes, there were too many commercials.  The movie felt a lot choppier than it should have felt.

About Jenna howling..  Well, I kinda liked it, but I felt it was an attempt to bring back a bit of the spunky, go-get-em attitude from the Jenna in the original Balto.  While Jenna acted with more attitude than in B2, it still fell short of what she was in the original Balto.  But I also liked her song.

And yes, Kodi should have gotten more air time- I was under the assumption that the movie would be more focused on him, kinda like how they focused on Aleu in B2.

Muk and Luk don't get much air time? Good. Now there's a reason for me to buy it. Muk and Luk were fine in the first, but they had no point in the second and I really don't see the need in having them being in the third. As for a forth Balto.. *gags*

Well, at least they weren't as annoying as the commercials on CN . . . LOL.

I was happy that the WoC debut on CN was such a success for many of us Balto fans. With exceptions for the many unnecessary adverts, of course (and Stella's singing? ).

I still think Jenna's howl was weird. Kodi howls better than his mom! Ain't that funny?

Fourth Balto prediction: Muk and Luk grow up? I hope so! Live your life and go find a mate or something! (thinks about this happening and sees baby Muks and Luks dogpiling Boris) Oh yeah . . . that's scary! The Boris dogpile would be fun though (Didn't like him in WoC anyway . . .)

Cool, Lowes... I'll be getting the DVD of the movie. �That actually looks a lot cuter than I thought..

*~Edit: I'll copy and paste that and I'll be like drawing Balto and Kodi... I'll enjoy doing that... Or from the cover.. Could be very fun!~*

83-108302525602 Feb 2005, 07:20 UTC

I got It Yesterday It's even better without commercials  But It looks like Cartoon Network didn't cut Anything

83-106196071605 Feb 2005, 18:08 UTC

It's about $14.99 everywhere, cheers for quality entertainment mediums and lower prices.

Well, I'd have to say that as far Duke moving around, a lot of artistic license was used.  I believe it was near spring, so the temperatures weren't as deadly as in the winter time.  IE, that'd be a good reason for him not to freeze to death.  Although if left in a position like that for such a long time, I'm pretty certain that he'd have much more than a sprained ankle, he'd probably be numb all over.  But it's something I can easily overlook, especially when I think about the original Balto.  By all rights, Kaasen should have frozen to death whether the team got the medicine through or not.

Well, no one ever says that you can't find adult references in childrens' movies.  I have yet to see an animated film, or cartoon outside of somethinig like PBS that didn't have them.  And yeah, Stella seemed a bit male hungry at the start of the movie.  It turns out she's NOT that bad by the end, but her introduction certainly leaves a lasting impression.

83-108302525607 Feb 2005, 10:20 UTC

I thought the Adult jokes in "Balto 3" wrer less Noticeable than the Ones in "Balto 1". As much As I Love Aleu I like Kodi better Also
