In General; The movie was OK - a great film for kids - no doubt about it, and it was heartwarming.

What I didn't like In General : While parts of this film IS based on a true story, I didn't like how they made Balto part wolf (Which FYI in real life he WASN'T) to make him seem more of an outsider, I'd rather of had the film where he was disliked because he wasn't as fast or something. (Though I guess it did give window for that awful sequal...)

Animation: The animation was OK. Nothing amazing to me. Wasn't bad, but not great.

Characters: I thought the characters were great in this film, needs some work on Balto here and there, but I really enjoyed Steele.  Balto was a Ok character, Jenna I felt was uneeded, I loved Steele, and my favorite character, Rosey. The live-action parts of the statue and "Old Rosey" really made the film better for me, and were my favorite parts.

Plot; I like the main plot - (Balto saves kids.) As for the romance, -gag- could of done without it, though I guess it was OK. I just didn't like it.

Overall; The film was OK- not great, but just ok. I've already bought my copy of Balto 5 years ago, and I plan to keep it.
