Balto is a Dingo Pictures movie that was released in 1997.
Summary[]
Winter 1925 in Alaska. Nome, a small place situated almost at the north pole, is cut off from the external world. But the children and their friends, the clumsy polar bear, the clever seal and of course the huskies keep on playing anyhow. But then one child after another gets sick. "Diphtheria ", says the doctor, " we don't have enough medicine." There is only one chance to save the children. Balto and Kemo, the two fastest sled dogs of the village are chosen to get the medicine from the city. But this City is more than 400 miles away from Nome...

Trivia[]
- Despite being released in 1997, the tracks from Griechische Sagen: Perseus that are reused in this film use the same speed and pitch as their 1992 incarnations.
- In some dubs, the music is briefly muted when Robby pushes Timbu into the water for the third time.
- The Swedish dub of the scene where Komo falls off a cliff has become an internet meme, partly due to Felix Nordh's review of it.
References[]
- Matt at one point says "What's up, Doc?", the catchphrase of Bugs Bunny.
Goofs[]
- In the English dub, Balto says his own name when talking to Komo at one point. He says "Balto, you're just jealous".
- In the French dub, when Komo falls, two different screams come out at the same time. This is due to Komo's French actor's scream being played over the German one (which in most dubs is left alone).
- The Danish dub strangely mutes Komo's scream.
- On non-German prints of the movie (as well as the print of the German dub used on the WG DVD), the music briefly warps during the credits.
- Matt has three arms when he uses his gun.
