Description
the 5st and the last fanart of my portrait gallery from balto I begin in juny 2013painted with acrylics and liner for some details (sorry for the pic, it's about 3 am and the light isn't very good to take fotos)
as I say for balto 2, I think balto 3 interessant but not as good as the first one, the team isn't very experienced and they don't have as many budjet as balto 1

The 3rd sequel not suck that much, but the budget was too cheap, so charadesign, music and animation quality are not the same as Balto the first, even if tell a story about Balto's Childrens was a good idea !
In the 2nd sequel, the senario "Aleu's rite of passage" is very predictable but not bad (as for Balto 3), but whereas "wings of change", it didn't manage to be a "not so bad" movie, the wolves characters are quite ugly, the story goes to quickly to the outcome, there miss a lot of things (we doesn't see anything about the mother-daughter relationship between Jenna and Aleu for instance) ... that's really sad sequels rarely have the same quality than the first movie (exepted for ice age 2 & 3) !

Firstly, I love both Maurice LaMarche and Jodi Benson and their work in other things, but they just did not cut it. Same for Charles Fleischer as Boris, as much as I like him I just think he could not pull off that edge that the late Bob Hoskins put into the character from the first movie. Kevin Schon also did not sound as comedic as Phil Collins.Did yoy know Balto's design changed throughout the sequels? Also, the first was just made to cash in on Lion King 2 with the whole main character's daughter going on a advanture to discover who they are to the world around them and where they fit into it. The second one was like Lady and the Tramp 2 with the son doing the same thing. Another thing, both were musicals! Because that's what we needed in the original! F***ing music numbers! I hate when they make musical sequels to things that weren't musicals to begin with (like Balto, The Secret of NIMH, and the Land Before Time), do you?
The only thing the sequels did right was providing the names and ideas for Balto and Jenna's children (especially Aleu and Kodi, voiced by Lacey Chabert and Sean Astin who admittedly did good performances, despite how lame the movies were). There is also how they gave Balto's mother a name, Aniu (which means 'snow' in Inuit, a fiting name since Balto said she "was white as snow" and had a warm voice that always made him feel safe, and her voice from Monnae Michaell was well casted and matching said description). I also admit the characters of Nava and Duke were interesting too (voiced respectively by the late David Carradine and his still active younger brother Keith Carradine) who people have made better use of in fan works with Nava being Aniu's twin brother (making him Balto's uncle) and Duke being a mail runner for the town. I also admit to liking Kodi's friends (Kirby, voiced by Carl Weathers; Ralph, voiced by Bill Fagerbakke; Dusty, voiced by Charity James), especially Dusty who serves as his love interest while Kirby and Ralph can serve as love interests for Aleu.
I also did not get why no one would want to adopt Aleu when the people had already accepted Balto for who and what he was (he even says he is still made fun of for being part wolf despite being a hero now! WTF!? I know both were on lower budgets than the first, but they cannot keep up with basic continuity?!). Second, Luk and Muk can't swim even though they found they could in the first!? CONTINUITY ALARM RINGING!!! Thirdly, since when has Balto yearned for flying? NEVER!!! Fourthly, I would have prefered Balto's children staying with Balto and forming a family sled team, doesn't that sound cooler and more appropriate?
Sorry, I went on kind of a rant there. I just cannot stand what the sequels did, and prefer what others have done with the fan-material they provided.

You seems to be well informed on the subjet !
Yes, just like you I appreciate Balto the first because there were NO musical number and I was very disapointed by the sequels for that (by the way, I didn't saw the secret of nimh 2, is it worth it ?)
For the voices, I saw the movie in german, english and french but honnestly I mainly remember french version, so I can't judge the original voices.
For the design, yes Balto change a bit (and Jenna on Balto II doesn't have the same face as for the first, and I find her new design cheap :/) and they even forgot to color his eyes, how is it possible nobody noticed it on the studio ?
For Aleu's adoption it's different, Balto is only accepted because he is a hero, and despite this, he's not adopted by anyone and lives like a paria in his wreckage on the shore (for my own, if a dog saved my daughter from desease and mated with my bitch, I would take him with me in my house !)
For Muk & Luk swimming capacity that's a big fail, I agree ! I don't like at all these kind of oblivion because I like logic and above all being immersed on a movie when I watch it ! by the way I found them a bit "boring" on Balto II (sorry I don't know how to translate "relou" in english).
There are some good fanfic but there are a lot of crapy things too
To finish, the sequels show some interessant things like Balto children and some great idea, but cheap design, hard lake & huge omission made its far to be unforgotable but deserve to be credited just for existin, that's not the best sequels I saw but far to be the worse ... did you see the sequels of Alph & Omega ? the first wasn't a masterpiece but it was watchable but the sequels were so ugly & uninteresting
PS : sorry for bad english !

Thank you.
Secret of NIMH 2 sucks:Β www.youtube.com/watch?v=JknHQlβ¦
At the end of the first movie, Balto should have been taken in by Rosie's family to be with Jenna. So what happened in the sequels makes NO sense!
The sequels are only good for providing fans with ideas to use better then they ever could. I love the first Alpha & Omega movie, but the sequels are all utter s***
Your English is alright here.

Oh no !! grand ma Brisby with grey fur and glasses ! how did they dare ?
Yes, that was heavily suggested at the end of the first movie, like for 'the lady and the trump" and all movie with stray dogs hero, so what's happened ?
The first alpha & omega was a good surprise because it's fun and it's the only animated movie mainly about wolves ! but the animation is a bad point : backgrounds are not detailed enough, textures of ground/fur/grass are cheap and charadesign are wrong (Kate and her sister look fine but most of the other wolves are awful ! I use to have Kate as wallpaper and some friends believed it was a horse or a fox, I'm dead serious !) : A&O has been released 2 years after Bolt and Bolt is visually far nicer !
But excepted the lack of technique that's a good movie, pleasant to watch like a "ice age" !
But the sequels are the worse I ever saw on my whole life ! the 3rd one is only 45 min long, I though it was a 2 parts video but no, that was the end, just like this, at the middle of the scenario, first time I saw something like this !

draggane In reply to Fail-Seeker [2017-12-13 12:34:28 +0000 UTC]
Yes, for instance "secret of nimh" was a one shot, no sequels were needed !
But for Alpha & Omega, a good sequel was very possible, like ice age but they failed (they manage to make a 3rd one whereas the 2nd was soo bad, i don't understand)

Interesting. Β You try a little more on Kodi's facial and you'd have him down. Β Balto could use some improvement, but you did good for a first try.

thanx^^ ! I like the title, the atmosphere, the story of "wings of change" but drawing are not as perfect as in the first one, for instance balto and jenna's design are different, and I dislike musical song moments (boris with stella) but despite this, I like this movie !
I have made 4 others balto's character fanart in the same style, the first things I published on DA

ElbonNoble In reply to draggane [2014-01-16 10:38:17 +0000 UTC]
No problem! And yes, the story is a good one, but I feel they could have done something... A little more you know? It just felt too fast. And yes! Ugh, the little musical scenes just about killed it for me! Not every cartoon has to have a musical score! I get they were trying to fit in with the era, but really?
And I've seen your paintings of Aleu, they're very great!
I'll have to check out your other ones though, thanks for telling me!

I agree, a little more "deepness" and work on the new characters like dusty or kodi would be pretty fineΒ but they waste their time with musical scene (just the last one isΒ ok because thats makes a ending) or other things like this instead of developing the scenario...

ElbonNoble In reply to draggane [2014-01-16 11:00:08 +0000 UTC]
I'd have loved to get to have seen more of Kodi, I never really cared too much for Dusty, but now that you mention it...
Going a little off topic now, but why the change from yellow to white in Balto's eyes? That's one thing that always got me.
