(comfort myself) It's just a nightmare, it's just a fanfic, which were allowed to appear on the screen by people... Why did they do that?! I never heard about him. And it would be better if I never seen it. I knew since childhood only the first movie and "WoC", and with this cheapquel met a couple of months ago, when well versed in the movies. And it just caused me injury, and embittered my attitude to the original cartoon.
Generally, there are rumors that Phil Weinstein, while working on this cheap, never seen the first film. And you know, I think it's true, because cartoon characters it does not look like the original characters. Seriously, only after reading the poster, I learned that it is Balto and the rest. In my opinion, he was given only model sheets from the original, which he, as a clumsy student, painted by an old computer program. Honestly, I can not believe that these were the same artists, to draw "The Lion King 2" (although it was a little too bad, but a good drawing), painted this delirium. Although, where it was written that he drew the Chinese (or residents from Taiwan, I do not remember). Damn, fans of "The Lion King" elegant, in perfect level and quality of animation (the characters was as in the original cartoon) drew a remarkable short film "The Madness of King Scar"! But these "professionals ", who draw WQ, if only from the street they came for lodging for the night.
But, this time by the rules, first say a sort of more or less significant dignity:
1. Music. Perhaps it is the only decent thing in this devastation. It is atmospheric, sometimes scary and creepy. And that's cool. If you listen to it separately from the film, enjoy. And though she sometimes "gets off", music I like. She is impetuous, as if strikes and says. Seriously, enjoy!
2. Ambience and backgrounds. Glare in the cave and the northern lights quite nice looking. Sometimes oppressive landscapes, sometimes mysterious. The colors really cold and fantastic, but all the spoils miserable computer graphics. Clearly, the budget is very small. All this do just to cut the dough.
In the story, if you look and if you think, had the potential, which, however, ruined the bad script, bad characters and the biggest holes in the plot. How many there are only illogical! Seriously, the idea of the totem ghosts really creative. However, there is one thing. It has nothing to do with the original! There was no mysticism! That was done horribly.
In addition, it is one of the biggest rip-off what I have ever seen. See for yourself:
1. The characters of the first film birth children. One of them is the so-called "black sheep" in the family who has a personality of clichéd annoying teenager with a nasty voice that "looking for himself" and runs the same way as the hero from original film, but in a new wrapper. The same story, but with a different character. Everything is done as if it were a bad fanfiction. This formula is verified all Disney cheapquels!
2. The main work that plagiarism here - a "White Fang 2: Myth of White Wolf." Let's say it's a bad film, but even here his ideas are not developed. Here you have elected that has mythical dreams with caribou, to help Native Americans (Indians), all the wolves.
3. The next film, which became the victim of this parody. The Secret of NIMH. The Secret of NIMH! Are you serious?! One of the best and most significant animated films of all time received not only cheapquel, but and talentless wannabe? Seriously, second backbone of the story completely copies this cartoon: the protagonists, with their own problems that can be solved only by factors outside, get on someone else's territory, whose residents also have deep problems and their intrigues. There is a wise leader, everyone wants to get away to a new location, but the main contender for the leader does not want to leave your home, then decides to kill the leader to gain power. Going poorly designed battle, where the villain loses the fight. And here comes a new leader! You know, I knew that the new leader will be the Aleu. No, not because of what I knew from my childhood "WoC", but because it is easy to predict it is. Why can not I write a normal plot with an adequate scenario?
4. The first "The Lion King". Own beautiful landscapes of Alaska, they are trying to hide the flaws of his imagination and show a sort of greatness, speaking about spirit teachers, mythology or supernatural significance. But "The Lion King" had a wonderful story, textbook heroes and exciting music. WQ trying to look widescale and deep, but exposes only confusion and stupidity. It seems to have something creative, but falls to the commonplace.
5. Any (whatever you like) "Call of the Wild". Again, it is simply disgusting submission. It was not disclosed, poorly prescribed at what really stretch and clichés. Okay, then I will not grovel. Since there is no study of the characters, the plot is unstable and is similar to the pilot episode of the animated series, which did not come out that changes and forgotten, I will not describe it.
We understood a plagiarism, now directly to critical review:
1.The quality of the animation. What are these scribbles? And a lot of mistakes. That hefty legs and body as thin needles, then vice versa. Cartoon characters, make faces no worse than the Looney Tunes. Constantly changing dimensions and proportions.
2. Characters. Minor characters do not play a role and look like a dumb extras (cut them). What happened to the main characters? Balto generally has a different character. He is conservative, cowardly cur, who does everything and imposes to everyone. This is similar to his alternate life, if he had not become a hero and was a loser, shied away from everyone. "Being different from other very painful. Some dogs still tease me because I'm half wolf." What?! You have built a monument to him, Balto met with the god of wolves and still present the "racism"?! Too difficult to understand. Jenna, Boris, Muk and Luk do not appear in the frame. I generally annoyed that no one at all if he had not noticed the little Aleu (when she was a puppy, she was pleasant beauty, and when it grew, it became cross-eyed scarecrow with a deformed body). Yes, she looked like a wolf cub, but from the whole brood Aleu was the cutest! Why no one wanted to take a small copy of a brave dog-wolf who saved the city? Compared with the same boring puppies...oh C'mon! Third, Aleu is goofy character. She runs away from home and did not hear herself. In my opinion, only a fool would not have guessed that if you howl and love nature and freedom, you are the wolf! We see an exact clone of the original: Nuk, Yak, Sumak and their boss - the wolf Niju. They did not even try! They do not even look like wolves. I still care about one question: why Niju can not try yourself as a leader? He is strong, tough and smart to drive a wolf pack, to protect pack and hunt on caribou. He could listen to Nava, and he could teach from him. And, or he has pride, or he is a fool, who just did not want to change their place of residence, but die of hunger on home soil he preferred.
3. I've always wanted to see more wolves in "Balto". in Vain. I love wolves, and therefore would like to have had more screen time. And what happened? Multicoloured wolves, as in the old anime, more like a mixture of dogs and coyotes. Nothing to do with the original design. And someone yells, does not understand why so many differences...
4. What killed me the most in this cartoon. Balto's mom is a wolf! And not just a wolf, and White Wolf! Although her voice is beautiful (who voiced her? really unearthly voice and appropriate for the goddess), and besides she is the patroness of wolves, which is a disembodied spirit guardian from totem, wolves call her "Great Aniu." And you know, how she may be someone's mother! She does not behave like a mother. There were those who said, "It's different characters, white wolf is not Aniu". Firstly, it is the only character who similar to itself (same huge size,eyes glow in the dark lilac color, in addition, it is copied from the model sheet). Second, the "mysterious character" remained. In the third (I appeal to those who still believe that Aniu is Balto's mother ), do you really think Balto was born from "holy spirit"?! Excuse me, but it is pure nonsense. The first cartoon not spoken what exactly the mother of the protagonist was a wolf. Moreover, such a union can not exist. By the way, have you noticed that Balto somehow intrusive and disingenuously says about his mother, but own father he calls simple "Husky"? There is not even any flashbacks in which we could see the appearance of the male dog and of the gray female wolf, it is unclear why to pair with him. If he does not know who his father is ... Wait a minute. So why is he so sure that his father was a dog if Balto never knew him (scarcely, mother said to him, given the fact, if it was a random passion)?! And what happened? Why and how Balto was in Nome, if born in the wild? The first film was not. Out there clearly shown that Balto from birth in the city, what is logical. Oh, in short, tired. It does not matter whether Aniu and white wolf with the same hero or different characters, none of them is the mother of Balto. For all the logical reasons. Сartoon that shows it, but only its creator says another thing.
6. A lot of plot holes. Why was supposed to lead pack is halfdreed? Aniu did not say anything about halfbreeds or Balto. It Nava already screwed up. A lot of plot holes. Why was supposed to lead pack is halfbreed? Aniu did not say anything about half-breeds or Balto. It Nava already screwed up. And do not you think it suspicious that he had sent a raven for them? Or that he and Aleu have a ability clairvoyant? Rake up there are a lot of things ... I'm tired. No explanation, no logic or hint.
7. Songs sometimes atmospheric and with a hint of goodness, but in fact banal, bored and visually strange. Pop ... Does not advance the plot, does not reveal the characters ...
Unknown direction of this film that the creators wanted to show: the origin of Balto (although not shown any parent, but I'm inclined to think that his father was a wolf Nava) or how hard to find a home.
If you want to see a true sequel (worthy as "Alien" and "Aliens"), where the wonderful characters, a fascinating story, intrigue, theme of friendship, nobility, faithfulness, communication, anger and forgiveness, this cheap fanfic is not for you. Avoid it.
