Hey guys, just wanted to know your favorite scenes from Balto, not gonna say anything about he second 'cause I haven't see it.
Anyways I think my favorite scene is the whole whitewolf part, or maybe it's the search scene, y'know, when he's looking for the lost team. What's your favorite parts?
65-106196052908 Apr 2003, 04:44 UTC
The whole thing, except for the live-action parts.
116-106196084608 Apr 2003, 18:14 UTC
lol, typical AG ^.^
well, we all love the whole movie, but it i had to pick, i'd say the scene starting on the boat where Balto is checking out Jenna and ending as he looks at his reflection, and walks up to jenna...
but that's a pretty hard decision, in fact, i haven't seen the movie in quite a while, so this may be my *current* favorite cause i don't remember many other scenes

heh, the whole thing, both Balto and WQ

I really loved the whole movie, but I still find myself able to pick out the scenes I really loved. The first would be The Ice Cave scene (no surprise there), and second would be the White Wolf Scene.

White Wolf Scene

and when Balto brings back the medecine.
78-106196066509 Apr 2003, 22:38 UTC
Definitely the White Wolf scene, but only if the music counts as part of the scene (without the wonderful composition, the White Wolf scene would certainly not be so mystifyingly dramatic). Placing the premier combination of audio and visual aside, I think that the scene with Balto & Jenna under the hospital was really emotional - the part when Balto shows Jenna how the light refracted through the bottles becomes "the northern lights." Eh, maybe I'm too romantic? LOL.

hmmmmmmmm.............. i have 2 say it was the boiler room part ( u no, the part with steele and jenna in the boiler room, and steele burns his rear), Hahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!:biggrin:
116-106196084510 Apr 2003, 19:35 UTC
Yep, scenes include the music
Yeah, I like the whole movie, but I like those two parts of it the most.
76-106196064319 Apr 2003, 06:14 UTC
My favorite scene is when Balto accepts his wolf side. Or noun to us all as the white wolf scene. It is my favorite part for reasons only knoun to my friends or people who know me.
76-106196063727 Apr 2003, 22:33 UTC
...Oh!..I think like Lone Wolf^^...Um..I think ,I like every scene!(Oh! I like the scene that is Balto get the cap to Rosie too! He is very smart ^^..
83-106196074628 Apr 2003, 18:15 UTC
Definately the White Wolf scene.
The emotion is simply mystifying. Movie scores are constantly pouring through my head..and the composition is one of the best I've ever heard. As the scene wouldn't be nearly as powerful without the score, the score also isn't quite as riveting alone, without the wolf howls. As I've said many times before: James Horner is a genius.
But not just the White Wolf scene; within the same score, before that scene, when Jenna spreads the broken bottles and recreates Balto's 'Northern Lights'. How emotional that is, that she retains hope for the Dogsled Team when the rest of Nome thinks that all is lost.
(I must be a sucker for movie scores..lol)
65-106196052901 May 2003, 00:57 UTC
Alright, so you want a good answer, huh?
I pick the white wolf scene (and the bit with Jenna leading up to it), too.
It's true that, without the score, the scene isn't as powerful, but it's not just the score. The wonderful shot of Balto silhouetted in front of the sun is the single most memorable frame in the entire movie for me. The colors during the entire wolf sequence and the swirling snow give it a sense of urgency. And that first howl... the other howls in the scene are good, but that first one sends shivers down my spine.
It isn't just the power of the scene itself, either. The entire movie builds up to that moment. It's still great afterwards, but the main tension is gone; the white wolf scene is the climax, everything after it is resolution. It's the little things earlier in the movie that build it up so well, like Balto's encounter with the wolf pack early on. Also, remember the scene where Balto is sitting on his boat, watching Steele and the team leave Nome? At the end of the scene, Balto sort of looks up for a moment, but then drops his head and ears and looks all sad. It's always seemed to me that Balto really *wants* to howl there, but tells himself that he shouldn't. The white wolf scene is both the climax of the movie and the final release of everything Balto has been storing up for who knows how long.

Very well put Ag, ;)
Thats how I feel too, definitely the White Wolf scene with me. ^^
And also the part in which Balto bursts out from behind the snow near the end of the movie; thats just an all-around happy, happy moment.

MY favorite Scenes are the White Wolf scene and the one where Balto is in the Boiler room whith Jenna. This scenes are great!
84-106196076018 Feb 2004, 16:13 UTC
I love Star's ET impression in the ice cave. It always makes me smile. 
103-107040115405 Mar 2004, 22:26 UTC
I agree with TurtleGirl Stars ET impression always puts a smile on my face, and the White wolf scene it gives me confidence, and the scene where Balto is coming back to Nome.

I must say I liked all of the scenes because they were all the right length so one scene doesn't go on for too long.
I really liked when Balto was leading them home... You can see his herotic actions.65-107815589707 Mar 2004, 14:43 UTC
Hmmm...interesting question. I'd have to say that the white wolf scene is my favorite 'cause Balto finnally accepts who he is and I also really love the music for that scene.

Oooh, I like that bit too! I like that music too...72-106196060910 Mar 2004, 20:16 UTC
Ack, such a hard choice! Hmmm, i'd have to say that the scene where Jenna warms Balto up after he fell into the ice and the white wolf scene are my favorites, though I do love that one scene where everyone figures out how messed up steele is and they all walk out on him. XD The look on his face when they do is priceless. >:]
65-107836033803 Apr 2004, 14:47 UTC
The boiler scene comes in first followed by the White Wolf scene.
98-109132677005 Aug 2004, 00:54 UTC
I also liked when Jenna recreated the Northern Lights and how she was able to see through Steele's lie. Good for you, Jenna! Include that with when Balto gets his determination back and accepts his wolf heritage, and you get my favorite part of the movie.
However, one thing I was wondering was when the northern lights became the shape of a wolf and then turned to Blaze, what did that symbolize, anyway? Maybe that all canines have some wolf spirit inside?

Sounds good to Me
My favorite scene would also have to be The White Wolf Scene66-109077823005 Aug 2004, 16:38 UTC
my favorite part is a tie between the first broken bottles scene underneath the hospital and the usual heritage of the wolf scene (who doesn't enjoy that part?)
68-108707261906 Aug 2004, 15:43 UTC
All of it! I love the whitewolf scene more than any other part.
I love to howl with Balto and the whitewolf. I'm nuts when it comes to that. I sound a bit like the whitewolf. Balto's TOO high for me
80-109198451808 Aug 2004, 17:41 UTC
For me the best part its all the scene with the song called "Heritage of The Wolf", incluiding the WWS (White Wolf Scene).
The WWS For me its like the "climax" in the movie, when Balto Howls I always feel shivers through my spine and I feel like the world stops for a moment.
Also, when jenna used the Northern Lights effect to leave a signal for balto its a great part.
And I agree that the part where Star acts like ET makes me smile always.
98-108879604717 Aug 2004, 03:40 UTC
Well of coarse I loved the whole movie but the part I would have to pick out is when Balto and Jenna go nose to nose at the very end and my 2nd would be the ever popular White Wolf scene because it's when Balto gets his strength to go on.
Also I have to agree with Policho in the part where balto howls the whole world stops. I really love that part too!
68-109293093520 Aug 2004, 02:50 UTC
mine would probably be
Steele were going in circles,
the ice cave,
and, it is hard to choose; I like the movie in its entierey
90-106196079720 Aug 2004, 16:32 UTC
The White Wolf scene and the ending.
79-109362624028 Aug 2004, 01:31 UTC
i don't have to think hard. my all time fave part starts after jenna makes the northern lights to guide the team home and balto gets confronted by the white wolf and remember's boris' words.
116-109430913211 Sep 2004, 14:40 UTC
I saw that lots of you love the White Wolf Scene, so I agree.
105-109891735828 Oct 2004, 03:53 UTC
i loved the white wolf scene too, and heritage of the wolf, the music playing in that scene. i also loved boris' quote: "Let me tell you something Balto. A dog cannot make this journey alone. But maybe, a wolf can."
i also loved the northern lights scene, and all the other scenes where balto and jenna bond. their relationship is so adorable. 
p.s: i'm so renting the sequel this weekend. haven't seen it yet. lol. 83-108302525628 Oct 2004, 04:29 UTC

I agree with most of you guys, I really love the White Wolf scene. Actually because of the music, I can't get enough from it
. 82-109880657029 Oct 2004, 12:07 UTC
I liked the White Wolf scene because Balto accepts himself.
