Title: A real disappointment compared with the first Balto movie
Review: My daughter adores the first Balto movie, and I'll admit that I never tire of it either; in my opinion, it's one of the best children's animated films around. If you feel the same way, you'll probably be disappointed with Balto II: Wolf Quest. The animation is different and not quite as good, and the voices are different, and even the characters are depicted with less finesse, so none of the characters look, act, or sound quite "right", compared with the first movie. Even the premise of the movie seems inconsistent with the first movie; Balto is portrayed as a self-loathing outcast, whereas one of the strengths of the first movie is the subtle, natural way it shows Balto coming to accept the positive aspects of being half wolf. Balto II lays out its morals with a much heavier hand, as well; you can practically hear the clunking of the plot as it unfolds. I don't think I'd even recommend renting this video, let alone buying it.
