Everything is wrong with Balto movies!

Written by Troll Berserker :



 

Our own Skulblaka_Shur'tugal is working on a video, and he needs your help. Some of you may be familiar with the YouTube series "Everything Wrong With...." by CinemaSins. In case you're not, here's a sample video:

Skul has been working on parodies of this series for a long time as part of his Pokemon channel, and now he wants to create a very special video: "Everything Wrong With Balto. " To do this, he is asking for help from all members of Balto Source.

What is a "sin"? Typically, we're not talking about what a movie got wrong. We mean, specifically , a place in the movie where logic is thrown out the window. In Balto, for example, it would be a sin for how Steele could beat the sled dog team back to Nome, but not a sin for the historical inaccuracy that Steele didn' t even exist. (Other small errors the film made, such as continuity errors and the like, are still considered sins.) If you are not sure whether something is a sin or not, write it in anyway, and Skul will decide.

Remember, he will keep his video profanity-free (unilke CinemaSins), so don't suggest anything that includes profanity. We want to keep this site as kid-friendly as possible, even in videos made by fans. Aside from this, make sure to write all your "sins" in the comments below! Please read past comments to make sure your "sin" hasn't already been submitted. Skul may or may not use all these sins, but he will use as many as he can.

And if you are not sure that he is able to do this, here's one final video. Compare this video to the top video, and you'll see they're very similar. Everything Wrong With Balto will look like the bottom video, so what are you waiting for? Leave your comments on the film's sins!

@ DragonTamer- I'm not saying that he is, I'm just saying something from the mind, just having a little fun with it, that's all. I'm not stating that Balto is trying to win Jenna over by doing those things, I'm only giving out a "what if", if you must. I like to think crazy, yet different things sometimes. I thought I would just put it in for fun, not that I was expecting Skul to actually put that up on the video.

If you have doubts then look at my other videos. I've finished EWWs for the first six Pokemon films (with the seventh coming out tonight), so it's hard to judge what my EWW Balto video will be based on just one sample.

Prism --> The assumption that Balto only did what he did to win Jenna is not even remotely well-founded. Technically it's conceivable, but as far as I've encountered (and believe me, I've seen it a hundred times), any and every argument in favor of it twists the evidence to suit the conclusion and ignores some evidence point-blank. Both are directly against the fundamentals of interpreting any element of any story.

Skul --> To be honest, I'm surprised at how overstated some of your gripes with Pokemon Heroes are - enough that my expectations of "Everything Wrong with Balto" are greatly diminished. I was looking forward to a reasonable assemblage of plot holes like the Hunger Games video, but to be honest I think you went a little overboard.

Charlie -- This refers to what's wrong with the /movies/, not Balto himself.

And with the movies... plenty wrong, there is.

(Sorry, comment was to large to fit the last two in.)

~ When Steele fell from a high cliff, he came back up RIGHT when his sled team were leaving. AND, with no cuts, scars, sprains, or broken bones.
~ When Balto fell from a high cliff, tumbling with him with ice, snow, and some rocks, he came up to to long without ANY cuts, scars, sprains, or broken bones.

In the movie, where Jenna and Balto hear about the medicine incident, that there is not any left for Rosie, Jenna is surprised and shocked to hear, and it looks as if Balto is just doing the same (when Jenna gives a shocked look), only to show that he "cares" about Rosie too. Only, it looks like he is really giving that face not to heart Jenna. Did he really care about getting the medicine? Or was it just for Jenna, to get the girl (at-least it look of so in the movie). When Muk and Luk came running into town to meet Balto after getting the medicine successfully back to Nome Alaska, they came and gave hugs, yet the people all around acted like it was nothing, like they weren't even there. Jenna chose Balto over a deviling handsome, strong husky malamute dog. Yet she chose the mutt that lived with a goose and was often visited by some dumb pair of polar bears. Why?! (really Jenna, that's kinda sad...) Out of all the dogs, they (humans) hadn't noticed that Star was NOT at ALL a fast runner, yet he is on the biggest sled team of all Nome Alaska. And put right behind Steele. In the beginning, where Steele had cheated on the race. Wouldn't the Musher that had his team cheated on reported on what the dog (Steele) had done? yet he didn't. When Steele stepped on Balto's paw, no-one new who Balto was, and no-one wanted to come close to Balto after he "freaked out", but when he returned, people were petting him and knew his name. Jenna was scared about spider webs in the boiler room, but not about the bear. After Jenna "hurt" (sure) her paw from the bear (And yet she had not felt the pain before?!), she returned to Nome with her paw like it was never hurt. (was she to scared to continue?) Jenna's build (poor in my opinion for a husky). Nobody (humans) noticed that Steele was gone when Balto took his place instead.~ and how fast Steel's team (with Balto at the time) came back to Nome so fast!! What?!

Kirk: you obviously didn't read the news very well. Historical inaccuracies, for the most part, aren't counted as "sins". ONLY within the context of the movie itself.

Skul: Balto has 100s of historical inaccuracy.

Balto:
- Balto and Steele fell from high cliffs, bumping into everything and they get up almost imeditely, being perfectly fine.
- Steele climbed up almost vertical cliff in no time right after falling down.
- Nobody (humans) noticed that Steele is back.
- Kids are okay right after getting the medicine.

Balto 2:
- Niju had so many followers to choose, but his three most faithful sidekicks are the most stupid wolves in the pack.

Something that always confused me:

Rosie in the animated part of the movie is most certainly supposed to be a young Alaskan child (voiced by Juliette Brewer), however in the live action scene she is played by Miriam Margolyes...a British-Australian actress who most certainly isn't from Alaska.

WQ > Balto > WoC
[Oh no, there's more of these...!]
- Live-action scenes in an animated movie.

- Star is referencing a better movie [E.T. the Extraterrestial].

- Sin for every time Star is the movie's butt-monkey. [aka whenever he's hit by Kaltag, responded by Steele [usually in ignorance], is the butt of all jokes, etc.; the last animated scene of the movie doesn't count obviously]

- So how can people and other dogs tell that Balto is a wolf-dog when he looks similar to many other sledding dogs? Balto is more shaggy than the others, but color-wise and build-wise [even in the sequels], he could easily pass for a husky... just a shaggier one.

- Also, how did Steele know that Balto's mom was a wolf? I mean, it's not like he knows Balto personally - the guy can't even pronounce his name correctly - so never explained how he knows that piece of info.

- So tell me again, how is it possible for one team to travel the estimated 674 miles from Nome to Nenana and then back again...? I mean, sure, we don't know how long it took in movie-time to travel that distance, but if it took 5 1/2 days in real-life for 20 teams of sled dogs to relay the antitoxin to Nome, how in the heck did Steele and his team of lackeys make it almost all the way back to Nome without decent rest? I get that it was a mission of mercy, but come on!

- Potato chips weren't usually stored in boxes back then, Boris.

More to come soon!

Balto 3:
- out of all puppies they had to make a movie about Jenna-looking one
- Balto is still not adopted
- There were delivery planes in the first Balto. Why is everyone freaking out?
- Boris fear of flight
- Owner doesn't care if Kodi wanders around right after the run (after the opening scene when other dogs gather around mr. Simpson and Kodi just wanders off with Balto and Jenna)
- Overly sexualized Stella
- crappy dog sled CGI

June 06, 2014

Balto 2 and 3:
- Balto is still homeless. Wouldn't anyone adopt him? Not even Rosie's familly?!
- Balto's dream in the first movie was to be a sled dog. Has he given up his biggest dream in the other two movies by still being a homeless mutt living in the boat?

Balto 2:
- Aleu's changing markings (3 times in total. Jenna's markings as newborn, brushy eyebows as pup, and ears changing to dark brown in the middle of the movie)
- Boris saying Aleu looks more wolf than Balto. She doesn't.
- Red faced pup looks nothing like Balto or Jenna
- Puppy error (jenna-like pup was adopted first, then we see it again instead of red-aleu pup)
- too many odd dream scenes
- Balto looks nothing like a husky. Aleu doesn't get a hint.
- How the HELL she doesn't know she and Balto are part wolf. Didn't she go to Nome? Didn't she play with pups there? Didn't ANYONE tell her?
- Aleu's husky shadow
- animation, animation, animation
- Jenna takes no interests about her pups
- songs
- Aleu's howling
- this girl is an individualist who probably knows nothing about living in the wild and leading a pack. let's make her a leader.

and I suggest looking at Dim Witted Aleu memes here for more xD

Maybe we can co narrate. Or something. lol I love most of your suggestions; you obviously know how these videos work.

BTW Juuchan17: What has been read, cannot be unread. Thank you so very very little for making me aware of the innuendos. Some things are better left unsaid.

Skul: I would love to narrate this one!

Let's see if I can avoid already mentioned ones. I'll try to do them in order, but that can be fixed later.

Balto 1:
Sin #xxxx: Jeans left in sub-zero temperatures to dry.
Sin #xxxx+2: Goose with fingers.
Sin #xxxx+3: All dogs have free run of the town.
Sin #xxxx+4: Purple Pomeranian!
Sin #xxxx+5: Overly ventilated hospital. (How does anyone get better with all that cold air coming in?)
Sin #xxxx+6: Rats under overly ventilated hospital. (Obviously, people go there to catch Raibes)
Sin #xxxx+7: Malmute poses like a pointer.
Sin #xxxx+8: Dogs gather in random boiler room. Humans aren't curious.
Sin #xxxx+9: Telegraph man turns off signal lantern, telling townsfolk they're screwed and making it harder for the team to see the town. (Seriously, what if they got lost?)
Sin #xxxx+10: Sneezing dog sets of avalance. (Seriously, have you ever heard a dog sneeze? Nothing like humans)
Sin #xxxx+11: People who fear Balto suddenly start petting him when he leads the team back to Nome.
Sin #xxxx+12: No humans wonder where Steele is.

Verdict: Kick in the head with a frozen mukluk. (Jail)

WQ > Balto > WoC
- How exactly did the people of Nome know Balto's name? I mean, dogs and humans can't talk to each other in the same language [unless you're Anne-Marie or something], so how does that work? Did the people just give him the name Balto or was it something else? Still, never explained.

- Sin count for all lines that could be [and probably are] double-entredres and innuendos in a G-rated movie. This includes animated actions by characters towards characters. [Examples: Jenna - "I like my meat cooked", Steele - "I know where all the bones are buried"; actions: Jenna lying on top of Balto, the "bedroom eyes", etc.]

- How in the world did Steele's musher survive the whole trip from Nenana to Nome? Think about it: he was knocked out when the team fell down the mountain, hurled off the sled TWICE, and in the freezing cold for probably days on end. He should be dead by the time the Balto-led team brought him to Nome, but he was clearly still ALIVE. Impossible!

More to come soon!

I'm seeing some good points here (though to be honest, I never would have imagined Skul spearheading something like this). However, the branch is not a very good one, and here's why: it wasn't just the branch holding them; all the dogs were doing their darndest as well. Simply put, they needed just a tiny bit more traction to stop their backward slide; once they had cancelled out that momentum, they could generate enough forward momentum to get going again (simple physics: it's easier to go from 0 to 1 than from -1 to +1). The branch just gave them that tiny bit more.

In other respects, though, there's some decent points here about plot holes and such.

June 05, 2014

A part where Boris said"Oh dear boy." It was near the beginning of the movie when saw Muk and Luk for the first time ever. Boris lips didn't move at all.

June 05, 2014

When Balto was approaching Nome with the Medicine and he howled to signal he was coming by leaping while he was running. Laws of physics say.........no!

Why didn't anyone get Rosie's hat when it blew onto the path Steele's team was on? There were lot of people around, at least one of them must have seen it happen.

When the ice bridge collapsed and Balto grabbed on to a branch to keep the team from falling. I'm pretty sure a small branch like that couldn't support a whole sled team.

June 05, 2014

- If the story is told by Rosie, how did she know what happened when she was in the hospital?
- At the end, Muk and Luk are greeting Balto in town. How nobody get scared of two polar bears running around in the crowd?
- Fat dogs in sled teams
- And not sure if it's a sin but Muk and Luk are fairly small. Villain bear is HUGE. Way too big.

WQ > Balto > WoC
So basically, a typical sin is every scene that Steele does something that no human really picks up on or gets in trouble for [spooking the other lead dog during the intro race, him obviously using Stomp on Balto and having it be Super-Effective to not get him leading the serum team, etc.] that a normal dog [or Balto, for that matter] would be punished for.

And there's plenty more where that came from! I'm excited about this, honestly.
