LMAO!  You should go to the German Ebay site, the majority of the "Balto" DVD's there are like those.  I'm going to Germany this summer with my father, so maybe I should buy one, just to see what the heck it is XD .

OMG what the hell is that?  

83-106196071605 May 2004, 12:52 UTC

Er, no that is not the German cover.  The German one looks like the British one, except for the lettering not being in English. http://www.theicecave.org/balto/extras.shtml Scroll down to the bottom of the page and you'll see a picture of them.

I think I'm one of the few who found that cover to be funny.  My breakfast almost when down the wrong way when I saw it.  I find it sad and amusing at the same time.  Like those movie rip-offs you often see in the dollar stores here.

Ha HA! Could be

72-106196060912 May 2004, 16:12 UTC

LMAO! Thats amusing for sure.  It looks so cheap....I think I value toilet paper more than this DVD.  Wait, an idea just struck me. What if this is what the cover for Balto 3 looks like?! (Even though they don't have the #3 on it, but still...) Could this be an early sign of what B3 is going to hold for us? The horror...*shudders*

83-106196071613 May 2004, 04:38 UTC

Doubtful Hybrid, Universal isn't THAT bad.  Thank goodness for that.  

76-106196064513 May 2004, 19:30 UTC

Hey, that thing looks so bad it would make a great skeet target     "PULL!!!"... -BANG!-

65-107815589713 May 2004, 21:00 UTC

*snickers evilly* PULL! *whips out Stinger Missile launcher from back pocket-BANG!* Ha! I got it! lol!

72-106196060914 May 2004, 02:18 UTC

I don't know, Silver, I wouldn't put it past Universal to do such a thing.  Though I hope your correct in thinking that they have better tack than to smear the name of Balto in such a way.

Heh, skeet can be fun..."Pull!" *Fires off several shots from his M-50 at the skeet but "accidentally" ends up shooting the producer/creator for the Balto blasphemy* Oops..., my bad.  Mwaha, all is now right with the world...

83-108302525614 May 2004, 03:51 UTC

Good shootin Hybrid, And Universal wouldn't want a cover that would scare off potential buyers, After all more sales more money

72-106196060914 May 2004, 14:27 UTC

Ah, thank you. Heh, to be honest I don't think Universal plans on making a vast amount of money from B3. I think they are hoping to just make at least double what they have put into it. Your right though, that cover could scare off a Sith Hound.

Not to go off topic Hybrid, But I've never seen a Sith Hound were They in any of the star Wars movies?

72-106196060917 May 2004, 16:37 UTC

Nein, they aren't in any of the movies as far as I am aware of. A Sith Hound is a fierce beast that resides on the ancient Sith world of Korriban (Home of the legendary Sith Academy). They guard the many tombs and crypts of the fallen Sith and all of their treasures. Many a fool has never been seen again after going to Korriban in the false hope of looting a tomb or two. >:}

The Sith Hounds themselves are fairly large w/ deadly claws and teeth that can cut through even the toughest armor. Both Jedi  and Sith alike have a healthy amount of respect for these creatures, for many force wielders have fallen victim to the Sith Hounds...

Your welcome.  

65-107815589717 May 2004, 22:20 UTC

Wow. #2? I never knew that. I find that to be amazing!  

83-108302525617 May 2004, 22:27 UTC

I don't remember if that list was for all movies or just derect to video movies. But thats still amazing

65-108225821019 May 2004, 15:31 UTC

Yes, that is amazing, but... that DVD is disgusting!  Kinda makes me not want them to make a Balto 3, which, they probrably shouldn't.

67-106196056028 Jul 2004, 22:29 UTC

Oh my dog!! �
I have seen those Cheap copies before in Denmark. They sell the videos really really cheap.
In fact.. I think i remember something about The Lion King. It also got "faked" They just called it Simba or someting like that! Heh.

What!?!  Now that is just WRONG    

83-108302525629 Jul 2004, 02:27 UTC

That cover is not as bad as the low budget Balto ones. In fact The Adult Lion looks alot Like Mufasa. of course That is still WRONG

68-108173602529 Jul 2004, 02:56 UTC

Me too      The Simba Covers You showed are way worse than the one CL showed. I saw that Balto cover before(IN another Thred on This Board I think?) I don't like that either

71-109168036911 Aug 2004, 15:46 UTC

Lol those are so stupid looking that they are funny.  Personally I don't know why anyone would buy something that looked that bad.  

112-109184433011 Aug 2004, 16:17 UTC

Approximately  �1.00

lol figures it's that cheap.

Yeah, it's cheap, but it's not even worth $1.88.  I'd rather spend that money on gas for my car.

Wow thats cheap.that less then gas money by me.{2.30 i think}

Well, where I live, it's about a gallon worth or gas.  Gas is 2.30/gallon over where you live?  Gosh, pricey.

115-108568278515 Aug 2004, 08:55 UTC

In fact, I'm sure the ones who made the cover didn't even watched this crap before making it  
Proof is, Balto looks completly different on the pictures of this film lol

98-109132677016 Aug 2004, 03:00 UTC

One thing that surprises me about the first picture is that so many Ebay users like the DVD, if you click on "Read Feedback Comments."  There is only one user that hates it.

No, the feedback comments are for the seller of the item, not for the movie (hopefully!   )
