Just a thought (or more)...
I know when Balto came out in '95 nobody ever thought it would have a sequel, or at least most didn't. Wolf Quest came as a real surpise to me (I was a little disapointed, actually- I thought we had established from the 1st movie that Balto had the heart of a wolf- it grew on me, though, in fact now I LOVE it! ). After that I didn't figure on any more Balto movies, and now look.
Some people are worried that Balto will become 'the next LAND BEFORE TIME.' Anybody else think this? I say, as long as they keep them up to standards, bring 'em on!
So... I guess what this all boils down to is this: what do you think? Anymore on the way?
84-106196075231 Jan 2005, 04:19 UTC
I really hope not...ugh
76-106196064531 Jan 2005, 06:01 UTC
Well, lets hope that doesnt happen and Balto rises from the grave and haunt the people at Universal o_O
74-108043194731 Jan 2005, 06:08 UTC
Balto: the TV series! Yeah, that's the solution!
30 minutes every day of Balto goodness! What could be better?
(A cable channel dedicated to Balto? I think not.)

Same Here 
I think They could successfuly do One more "Balto' Movie(As Long As The Story Is Great! Like You said )66-109650395331 Jan 2005, 09:15 UTC
I don't think they will make another Balto movie, but you never know I guess. If they did I really would'nt care for it is a Balto movie and I will see it and own it 
But what I really think is that Universal should work on some other canine related movies that would be cool 
83-106196071131 Jan 2005, 09:22 UTC
I hope for a TV serie.

A Balto 4 is nearly official...No, I'm not kidding. But since I'm too lazy to explain everything again, here's the link to my forum :

-is remembering the Balto sequels thread from a long long time ago- 
83-106196071631 Jan 2005, 16:01 UTC
Considering how I didn't like the ADGTH TV series, I don't think I could stomach a Balto one too well. I'm trying to imagine it, but it doesn't work for me.
And yeah Long, I remember that thread. ^_^; Too bad we don't have it anymore.
78-110711749731 Jan 2005, 16:07 UTC
Whoa- I never even thought of a Balto TV series. I imagine with 30-or-so minutes to fill every episode that would get really old, really fast.
75-109926563831 Jan 2005, 20:54 UTC
They are already planning a BAlto 4? *nearly faints*
78-110711749731 Jan 2005, 22:19 UTC
Balto four... geez. Mixed feelings..... Anymore info on it??? Do we have a title yet? I haven't seen the 3rd yet, but I sure hope it's better than WQ. WQ was okay, and looking at it as a movie seperate from Balto, I love it, but it (to me) it really didn't make a good sequel for the original. I hear the 3rd has some of the original writers, will the fourth?
69-110464574401 Feb 2005, 02:49 UTC
Balto 4... Hmmm...
Well, B3 was better than B2, so if there was a B4, I just hope the upward swing continues, because if the idea was approved and B4 turns out to be crap, then it proves that Universal doesn't care about Balto anymore and they only care about making money, not satisfying customers.
83-108302525601 Feb 2005, 08:20 UTC
We'll have to wait and see. If a "Balto" 4 is made I hope Universal Is kind and releases it At The same Time Everywhere. It would be great have The Original Writers come back a Third Time 115-108568278501 Feb 2005, 10:40 UTC

Mmm, to tell the truth, I really think that Universal (as any other big company) only cares about making money... It's not surprising that they would make a Balto 4 if their only interest is the sales. They also said that they would continue to make LBT sequels as long as they make money out of it.
BUT, this is not the case of the people who are actually working on the films. The film makers only care about making the film, contrary to the directors which are only interested in making money. Even if they have limitations because of that, they still can make efforts to make good films (and I believe this is the case of Balto 3 : they had a small budget, and still were able to make a good sequel) That's why even if they make a lot of sequels, as long as they make efforts for creating good films, it's not such a problem.
I think the big problem of LBT was that they didn't took much care making sequels starting with the first one, hopefully it's not the case of the Balto sequels since B3 was better than B2 (for nearly everyone)74-108043194702 Feb 2005, 04:18 UTC

Agreed.
Same time release: I would like to see this again! Or at least pretty close to the same dates (not with months in between like for WoC release dates).
Original writers: PLEASE! This is a must! After the success of WoC, they have got to be back for the next movie (or perhaps the remainder of the Balto saga franchise at least). I hope the people at Universal can read this . . . . (I wish . . .) 
Balto 4 ideas: What's left to do? Maybe searching through Balto's past perhaps. . . . answering all of the hard questions like "Who was his father like?", "How did he fall for Aniu (revealed in WQ to be Balto's wolf mother)?", "Balto siblings, if any?", "How Balto met Boris?", and so on . . . I can picture this.118-110644348702 Feb 2005, 04:46 UTC
You make it sound like it's a bad thing for Universal to use something just to make money. If something is a success, why not build off of it? I don't think any company truly releases a movie just because. There might be a few that aren't too big on money but making money is most likely on their mind. I'm not trying to sound like a jerk but you really shouldn't get on a company's case for doing something just for the money.
As for a Balto TV series.. I second Silver Huskey. And with them already coming up with a forth Balto, that scares the #### out of me.

Nothing is wrong with That, But there is a very fine line Between Building off success and Milking a Property for all it's worth. I think that is what everyone is worried about. Oh and I don't think You sound like a jerk at all To Juuchan17: In addition to what You said I would like to see Balto's first meeting with Jenna as for a sequel even though Everyone thinks this is a bad Idea I would like to see Steele return and get the beating from Balto He should have goten in the first movie.

That would be a bit interesting, but could it take up over an hour? I think not.
Besides, I think almost everyone here would like to see Balto's mysterious past finally revealed. I know I would!
But the TV series . . . . God, I wanna see that too! 78-110711749702 Feb 2005, 17:46 UTC
I would love to see Steel come back! I was never a big Steel fan, but it seems like, I dunno, a gap or something. We all know he was shunned at the end of the first movie, but what happened to him after that? Wow, that alone would make a good plot for Balto 4. You know, he and Balto could meet up, maybe he would need Balto's help and have to learn to accept him.... it may have been done before, but I think that would be awesome.
80-109198451803 Feb 2005, 06:11 UTC
If they make a new Balto Movie... I hope that this new movie has part of the production of the first one... (At least Elena lesser and Cliff Ruby) Because in the third movie some of them returned and they made a GREAT movie.
But well thats my opinion, we will have to see what is about

What I was getting at was Showing how Balto met Jenna would Be inclued in The Prequel I didn't Think it could be a whole movie plot I agree with You. I would love to know Who Balto's Father is, And How Aniu a Wolf considerd to be Great by all other Wolves could fall In Love with a Husky. To Nashoba: Your Idea would Be interesting too. Hopefully Balto will Kick Steele's tail Before He teams Up with Him 78-110731266003 Feb 2005, 13:12 UTC
Well, I guess I better actually find time to watch WoC before I express my feelings about a fourth movie, but that would be logical, and I'm not a logical person. LOL
I have mixed opinions about a fourth movie. It can be a good thing...who knows, it could even be better than the original! But then again, it could be worse than WQ (I think that equal to WQ would be a disappointment...no offense to anyone who really likes WQ).
And, of course, it would have to feature Dingo.
Nick 66-109676690303 Feb 2005, 22:19 UTC
I would love to have more Balto movies! I would also love the series. I acctualy e-mailed Universal and told them that they should make a series! Heh. I also love Balto3. It was very funny, though it was for people younger then me, like for 5 year old's and what not. So yeah.
78-110711749703 Feb 2005, 23:54 UTC
Isn't it funny how some movies just appeal to everybody even though they were made for the younger crowd??? I can't help but love Balto.

Very Well said. When I'm waching "Balto 3" I never feel as if I'm too old for it. Unlike when I wach One of The Land Before Time Sequels. As for a Balto T.V. Series. I just doint know where They could go with One.74-108043194704 Feb 2005, 17:33 UTC

I know the feeling . . . The LBT sequels are more targeted to little children, while Balto is more grown-up (IMO) and has much better quality.
I wrote on Steet's forum about my opinion about future Balto sequels. I think we would only be able to tolerate up to a Balto 5, (even though all fans would want more Balto anyway) and any farther would destroy the series indefinitely. Of course, this is just my opinion on the subject.

You're Welcome I share Your opinion on Balto's quality. I'm not the first to mention This But They could spin-off and do An Aleu or Kodi movie If They Stop at "Balto" 4(If They even go That far)That would Be O.K. too70-109096490505 Feb 2005, 16:41 UTC
I can't think of anything they would do for the Balto 4, if they're doing it?
68-108707261905 Feb 2005, 17:06 UTC
Yeah... They should start thinking about what the fans have to say. I wouldn't mind seeing the original writers coming back and doing a B4 about the hero's past. I want a behind that friendly face, how it all started. I want to see him as a puppy once, see if he'll be a cutie. But, it could be fun to see that happen. 74-108043194705 Feb 2005, 19:49 UTC

Yes! Thank you!
That's what I'd like to see (I think everyone knows that by now)! Give us a young Balto! Maybe they could have the story of his father meeting Aniu, they have pups, something happens to split them apart, then we have puppy Balto and the rest of the litter (if there was any others) with their father, and the story continues from there.
That would be great to answer all of the unknown questions that we all have from Balto/WQ. 69-110464574406 Feb 2005, 04:30 UTC
Oh, yes, Universal should listen to what fans have to say, but based on their record ahem LBT ahem...
Universal hasn't listened to what the public has to say for years, otherwise we wouldn't have LBT. And yes, a prequel would be a great idea, as long as they make it with quality, and the original producers come back. And I've been wondering, if a prequel answers all the questions that we've been wondering about, then would it open up more questions?
78-110711749706 Feb 2005, 16:25 UTC
Good thought. It probably would, if they did it right.
Peronsally I would love to see the plot thicken (not that it's not good right now or anything, but wouldn't it be cool if we had a few more questions to ask- a few more secrets to uncover?) kind of like Harry Potter. It seems like the more you learn, the more there is to ask. Very intriguing (hope I spelled that right!
or like Lord of the Rings- have a whole history to it. That's one of the reasons I like LotR sooo much (I like it even more- a LOT more- than Harry Potter and that's saying something! so I tihnk that would be pretty darn cool. Wait- MUST CATCH SQUIRREL- ok I got him. phew!
Anyway, I would just LOVE to see Balto as a pup- he'd be so cute! And I know now I;m not the only one who wants to know what happened to his mother and father. After all, Aniu is dead (she's a spirit now, anyway) but who knows- maybe Balto's father is still alive? 68-108707261906 Feb 2005, 16:59 UTC
Yes, Aniu is dead. She was probably the white wolf, who must have been a spirit in the first movie as well. I want to see Aniu alive, with Balto's father. What was Balto's fathers' name anyway? I want answers that sound interesting to me and some other people. I really want to see what he looked like as well.
As far as I should put this, is that I don't think Universal will ever listen to the fans. I have written to them in 2002 about WQ's songs. So far, no reply from them. I hope that someone can contact with one of the writers and ask if they can be so kind to actually do a prequel. After that success, they should do something like that. I want to see a cuddly Balto.

The Only thing that might make a "Balto" Prequel hard to do is Whatever seperated Balto from Aniu may also be what Killed Her, And possiblly Baltos Father and Siblings as well. How could They show that and still get a G rating

They could make in a Bambi style . . . .
not show the mother (Aniu) dying (if she gets shot or something like that) . . . but then again, Balto never saw this, right? He never knew what happened to his mom . . ..68-108707261907 Feb 2005, 21:10 UTC
Oh... I thought of something in that. Maybe Balto and his siblings were sleeping one night. Aniu and the father was hunting and got shot by hunters. Oh, that's gonna be torture to little ones. But, I rather understand what exactly happened to them. Hmm... Is there any comedy in the movie if it's prequel? We don't have to answer that... Just a question I have in mind, that's all. 87-106196078707 Feb 2005, 22:22 UTC
Hrm, watching a goose try and raise a wolf/husky hybrid might be a bit comedic!
74-110782676108 Feb 2005, 04:00 UTC
I like Balto 3 better than the second, cuz it was drawn better. The second one they keep showing the stupid nitemare over and over @_@, i'm like quit it already! XD I was disappointed with Balto 2. I'm very impressed with Balto 3. I like Kodi better XD

I doubt it, but compared to today's rating system; it probably would. Watch The Secret of NIMH and All Dogs go to Heaven; they got a good amount of violence and strong language but they still have a G rating.

And Secret of NIMH had one curse word in it too . . . Strange . . .
Back On-Topic:
I think they could pull it off. Besides, no one really knows that back story so anything can happen (Let's hope that they make it a good one!. IMO I doubt that Balto's father is alive (because Boris took him in; Heck, in WoC, Balto said that Boris was like his "father") . . . . I wonder whether he had any siblings? That could start the whole thing! One of Balto's brothers/sisters could find him and it starts all of these flashbacks and whatnot. Wow. That might work. 75-110615482410 Feb 2005, 04:02 UTC
Balo is not quite as popular as Land Before Time so I doubt we will be seeing too many more, if any, sequals. All I can say is if there is, they better freakin' bring back Steele, even if its just a cameo appearence. It was like he just fell off the face of the earth after the first! 83-108302525610 Feb 2005, 07:57 UTC

Well, LBT sequels aren't made because they're popular. It's because they are cheap to make, and as a result, generate profits for Universal easily since they can just sell them to video rental stores and those who just want a cheap movie regardless of quality.
As for Steele, sure, I'd like to see him come back, but it's going to be hard explaining why he wasn't in B2 or B3. And if he came back, I'd guess that he'd be the villian again, more evil than in B1, probably seeking revenge rather than try and see his errors. But what's he going to do since he doesn't have the trio to back him up anymore? Unless they go back to him... 83-108302525611 Feb 2005, 06:18 UTC

It's the same thing I wrote in my fanfic.87-110773702011 Feb 2005, 21:40 UTC
Well fist of all i hope that Balto does not become the next "Land Before Time". I have enjoyed all the storylines of all the Balto movies so far, and i expect them to become better. I just hope the writers from the fist Balto come in and help out with Balto 4.
Second, i think they should really add songs that were simlilar ti the first Balto. I think they should get James Horner to create some of the instrumental songs.
And third, even if they created another Balto, i still think that the first Balto was the best. As long as the writers keep up with the exoectaions of the fans, then keep them coming.

I don't know if this has been brought up yet, but here goes. One thing I have noticed consistent throughout the Balto movies is the alluding to previous movies. In Balto there was Star alluding to "ET the ExtraTerestrial"(Universal). In Balto 2 there was the wolf that alluded to "All Dogs Go to Heaven"(I think this was MGM). In Balto 3 there was Boris alluding to "A Streetcar Named Desire"(Warner). I was wondering if anyone noticed any other references to movies people noticed within the Balto movies.
