At the end of Balto: Wolf Quest, Aleu became the Alpha of a wolf pack and lead them to more fertil hunting grounds across a large body of water in a distant land, presumebly Russia. Now, this leaves a big question for those who liked WQ and Aleu: What the heck happened after they made landfall?!
My personal thoughts are rather dull most likly to most, but I think Aleu met a Russian lone wolf, fell in love and has since had pups. Predictable? Yes. Obvious? Deffinatly. Only possibiliy? No. I'd like to hear the thoughts of you all, and if you wish, we could made an RPG out of this in the RPG section and see what develops.
..................Okay so this topic may be pointless. If it is, or no one cares about it, I don't care if administration deletes this topic if it just takes up space.

I agree with You K9, for the most part. I think however that Aleu's pack Met a Pack of Russian Wolves, And Aleu and the other packs Alpha Male(Who had not chosen a Mate) fell in Love, And got married. Unifying the Two packs. What can I say I like hapy endings

If your gonna examine the evidence then Aleu did not go to Russia. That is because to do that she would have had to cross the Berring Strait when it freezes and that is right next to Nome. Also there are no trees round Nome, none at all, I think the nearest is 80 miles away something that Wolf Quest made a mistake on in the first place, it is more likely she went South as Russia or Siberia in this case is more like Nome with no trees and not fertile grounds as say Southern Alaska. In Wolf Quest Aleu is surrounded by trees and some wolves are very silly with trees like trying to become one..

I totaly agree with the part "its silly that wolves try to become trees" didnt like that mombo-jombo thing, beter the japanese part "watching the stone grow"(not in Balto in real life).
Dont have any idea if she got to Siberia (isnt in the movie), but i presume that she did get there.
And Fluke in Siberia there are trees, actualy there are huge forests round there, especialy northwards.
In the center and south of Siberia are plains, but northwards (including the Bering Strait area) is a heavly forested region.

About the Russia part:
When I first got and saw the movie, the only body of water obvious enough to me was the Baring Strait and thus to Russia was the land they went to. But for all we know, the Ice Bridge could've lead to another part of Alaska. *shrugs* Either way, it's doubtful Aleu will be attending any family reunions for a good long while.

I wasn't talking about the Russia side, I was talking about the Alaska side, but why would the caribou go North when they would migrate South for the winter?
Also there is another place where the sea freezes like the Berring Strait does and it is actually where dog teams in the Iditarod cross too which is the bay between "Elim" and "Shaktoollk" and to me that would make more sense..
In so far as what happens to her, I hope she falls down a mine shaft and never makes another movie :P Kodi is cooler lol75-111045797916 Mar 2005, 22:47 UTC

I asked This same Question some time last Year on The White Wolf's Forum. I got this awnser: [I'm pretty sure they went over to Siberia, across the Bering Strait, which ices over in the winter. You can cross it by foot, or by sled. Polar bears and wolves can migrate between America and Russia using it. I think that's where the idea for the ice bridge came from, where the drifting ice between Siberia and Alaska clumps together and forms a landmass across the Bering Strait. I do know that they hunt and farm caribou in Siberia, there'd probably be plenty of herds there, so it'd make sense for migration back and forth between the two countries to take place.] Now being I'm an Idiot, I thought Siberia was part of Russia so thanks for the geography lesson Fluke, AND SHAME ON YOU! for wanting harm to befall Aleu 87-110773702017 Mar 2005, 02:08 UTC
I'm not sure if Aleu's pack could have crossed the Bering Strait. And I'm not sure the bering Strait ices over in the winter. Remember, the only reason why scientists belive the Bering Starit was a frozen ice bridge was during an ice age. It would be impossible for Aleu to go to Russia from Alaska because the Bering Strait does not freeze over. It was only during the ice age when the Bering Strai froze. It is only on year rare years when icebergs form over the Bering Strait. In my opinoin Universal used the idea of the formation of icebergs on the Bering Strait as the great ice bridge. From there Aleu's pack either went to Siberia (as mentioned before) or Russia. But most likely, I think it would be Russia.

I seem to remember Alue heading south out of Nome. Considering that the closest point between Siberia (which is a part of Russia) and Alaska's Seward Pennisula is north of Nome That pretty much rules out a crossing of the Bering Straight. I agree with Fluke on Norton Sound. It seems to fit the sitiution the best. It may not completely seperate Alue from her family as they can be reached by land. Going around Norton Sound does add days to trip.
83-108302525617 Mar 2005, 05:13 UTC
But If the place where Aleu went could be reached by land,Why did the pack have to cross the Ice Bridge? To Coasterfreak: Thanks for letting Me know I'm not such an idiot

Well I remember a montage shot of Aleu running to screen right with the setting sun behind her, meaning she IS running north. But then again it's been a couple of years since I've seen the movie so I can't be sure.116-109430913217 Mar 2005, 14:08 UTC
I'm sure the Bering strait is frozen in winter, so Aleu could go in Siberia. I think now she is there.

The Bering Strait does indeed freeze in winter time, infact the people of Nome are known to play golf on it!
In regards to Aleu, my words are harsh but fair! Bad character, bad voice actress and just plain annoying all the way.
78-110711749717 Mar 2005, 20:25 UTC
Ok, the whole Russia-Alaska-Tree-Thing... I seriously doubt that the people who made Balto 2 really went through all that research. However, with that said, I'm willing to say that I think they went through the Bering Straight, trees or no. 
83-108302525617 Mar 2005, 21:30 UTC
One other thing that gives The Russia Theory some credit(If Your willing to ignor the geography)is that Yak has a Russian accent
70-109096490517 Mar 2005, 22:04 UTC
Aleu? She fell off the face of the earth... end of story! lol.
87-110773702017 Mar 2005, 23:03 UTC
To Fluke- I actuall enjoyed the voice acting of Aleu, and the character style. She is like one of my favorite characters. I think she probably made her own pack.
Anyways, I also noticed that Yak has a Russian accent. How about Boris?
Wolfen
70-106196059217 Mar 2005, 23:12 UTC
Boris is a Russian snow goose so of course he had a Russian accent.. except in Balto 2 when he sounded more Jewish but nevermind.
I thought that Aleu's VC was very wooden to be honest, had no feeling or anything in it.
87-110773702017 Mar 2005, 23:19 UTC
To Fluke- Boris has always been jewish. Remember in the first balto where he did the Jewish version of the can can JK . Anyways, did you really feel nothing when you heard Aleu's voice. I think her voice sound cute. .

*to Wolfen* That's actually a Russian dance of somesort.70-106196059217 Mar 2005, 23:23 UTC
Umm that's a Russian dance plus is full name is Russian
78-110711749718 Mar 2005, 03:07 UTC
I have to agree with Fluke. I won't say Aleu's VC was -terrible- but it was very wooden. I think she made it to wherever they were going, found a mate, you know, the usual. Probably had a series of adventures of her own... hmm... good oppritunity for a fanfic there.
67-106196056518 Mar 2005, 04:13 UTC
I have just watched the scene in which Alue departs. To be honest, I cannot tell which direction Alue went. Nome runs east-west along the ocean shoreline. I was wrong about her going south, since that leads into the ocean. North is also ruled out since Alue did not go through town. Of the two other cardinal directions, the position of the setting sun does not seem right for either direction. If she headed west, she should be heading towards the sun. If she headed east, the sun should be behind her.
83-108302525618 Mar 2005, 06:59 UTC
I thought Lacey Chabert was a good voice for Aleu. Now how about this because We know the geography in "Balto 2' can't be trusted. Lets look at it this way, I've heard in T.V. adss on Cartoon Network that "Balto 2" is set in the Pacific Northwest so let's assume Aleu went that way. In wich case the nearest land mass is Russia(I looked on a Globe)
87-110773702021 Mar 2005, 01:19 UTC
Really!!!!!!!! cartoonetwork said the Balto 2 took place on the Pacific Northwest. Well in that case, I would have to agree that Aleu went to Russia. Also, Lacey Chabert played an excellent voice character for Aleu!!!!!!!!!!
Wolfen
69-110464574421 Mar 2005, 03:05 UTC
Well, I don't think it would have happened in the Pacific Northwest. There were too many things that said that WQ took place in Nome, and nothing from Cartoon Network will make me change my mind. About Aleu going to the Pacific Northwest... I'd have to disagree. Nome is on the western coast of Alaska, and unless she traveled all the way across Alaska and end up on the southern or southeastern coast... Wait, it might be possible, but I'd highly doubt it.
75-111045797921 Mar 2005, 03:17 UTC
I'll agree with ya there. I think she went due-East a ways, then turned North and traveled a tad more, then went West till she hit coast.
83-108302525621 Mar 2005, 04:24 UTC
It's just that the nearest land mass to Alaska seperated by the Ocen is Russia. So to Me it makes sence that Aleu and Her Pack would go There.
70-106196059221 Mar 2005, 10:55 UTC
I didn't mean there are no trees in Siberia, but I don't think there are any on the coast line due to harsh winter winds.
Secondly considering America'a history with Russia, why would they have a story of the child of a "true American hero" escaping the repression of her birth land only to go to (what would be communist at this time) Russia??
83-106196071121 Mar 2005, 11:38 UTC
I'm sure they went to Siberia too.
83-106196074821 Mar 2005, 11:48 UTC
I have to say I like Kodi better than Aleu, but thats my opinion and Im not saying that everyone here who likes her is wrong. Also lets hope she does go to russia or siberia. That way she can get torn to shreds and eaten by a siberian tiger!!!!Lol just kiddin 75-111045797921 Mar 2005, 13:00 UTC

You folks are mean. Anyway Fluke, to answer your question....*cracks knuckles and gets into 'Over-Analizer' mode* Just because the humans were being oppresive sons of a gun, doesn't mean all the animals are taking the same route, however I think Boris moved from Russia because of the uprising against the Czar and his family and the whole communist movment, who knows, maybe the Russian geese were getting simular ideas. *rolls eyes and chuckles* Also, in the dead of Siberian winter, or ANY time of year for that matter, it's GOTTA be freakin' cold and bearin. So I doubt that many humans(or communist animals) would be there at the time. Okay, I know a bunch of this sound pretty hocky, but I've not seen the movie in a year or two so I can't give a decent theory, whenever I see it again I'll refine this.69-110464574421 Mar 2005, 15:17 UTC
Well, about the Russia-Communist thing....
That was my old, old philosophy, then I ditched it (I just came up with it off the top of my head, and I still regret coming up with it (What was I thinking, I don't know)). But even if it was cold in Siberia, Aleu could survive it, because she's a wolf.
About Aleu escaping to a communist country... Yeah, that doesn't make sense either, especially in 1925, so I guess that makes another reason why Aleu might not have gone to Russia. Even if she went to Russia, it's separated by the Bering Strait, 55 miles wide, so unless you say she ran across it... 
I dunno. 115-110950221421 Mar 2005, 16:45 UTC
If she would have gotten to Siberia than i pity her because no one loves Siberia (2-4 milion germans and 400000 romanians had "fun" there).

yes right70-106196059221 Mar 2005, 17:29 UTC
No no no you have it all wrong. To think that animals would want to escape communist opression or anything human politics is silly! What I mean is why would human writers of the story of "A True American Hero" have the characters seeking a rich full life in the communist land mass of Russia?? I am not saying the animals made an active choice after watching CNN for a couple of hours!
The symbolism involved here would be too much for "Uncle Sam" to handle. Let's think about it assuming it is Russia. The last you see of America is a baron waste land, void of life etc. No one wants to live there right? There is no food, no opportunity etc, however on the other side of the pond is Russia, rich in life, food, opportunity for a young wolf.. surely you can see something is not right here? Last I heard America was meant to be that wonderful green land which people want to get into which is why so many "jump the fence", and yes Russia would be communist at this point in time, so what is this teaching the children who will watch? I thought communists were the enemy of all Americans and should be destroyed or shunned no matter what (I want a Cuban cigar damnit, they are better than American ones!. Again let me stress I am not saying the wolf has made an active choice! It can't as it is a photoshopped being on a screen that has no consciousness, what I am asking is what are the writers/artists saying?? Which then backs my argument up about southern Alaska being more likely as it can't upset anyone. 75-111045797921 Mar 2005, 18:31 UTC
True Fluke, I see your point. *gets out globe* The reason I went with the 'She-went-to-Russia' thing was because I was younger and stupider......more stupid.........whatever, then I am now, and Russia and Alaska were the only land-masses I could see as logical choices, not Alaska and another part of Alaska. However, now that I study this here globe more closely,*pats globe* I can see that she would've travled at LEAST 50 miles before even getting CLOSE to the Bering Strait. Of course see could have crossed the Norton Sound, or, across the Pacific Ocean to St. Lawrence. Now since these areas are due-South, the plot-point of an ice bridge may seem rather unlikely in the middle of Spring or Summer, but considering the the Magical element of the story, it's possible that Aniu and/or Miru and the other packmembers Spirit-Gaurdians (remember, Miru DID say that EVERYONE had a gaurdian) made the Ice bridge to these areas. But that brings up another interesting question: How did the ice bridge that had the Carabuu cross form? *Twilight Zone music plays*

83-108302525621 Mar 2005, 22:50 UTC
The reason The Wolves need to move is because Their food The Caribou moved. Like has been perviously mentioned Animals are not Political so the politics of moving from America to Russia would not even be a thought to the Caribou, And the Wolves like most Predators Followed the food. No politcs at all. It makes no since to Me to cross a dangerious Ice Bridge to go somewhere You could have goten to much safer by land. So that's why I don't think They went to southern Alaska.
