I think this might be an obsessive compulsive kind of thing. I don't think that putting his name everywhere is normal.

^ That was a little confusing... not sure if it's off topic or what, but in future posts, please make them on topic and clear to what you're saying.

Well, I don't mean to brag, but I have Balto as my background on BOTH computers, I have a fan made bookmark, I MADE my own Balto music CD with the soundtrack I bought on iTunes, I have 2 folders full of Balto Fanart, I wrote his name for the cover of my constitution cards, I am in the middle of making a Balto Poster, Balto is my screen saver, I always take out the Balto movies from the library (including Books!), When I'm not at school, I'm on Balto Source, or feeling bad because I have NO merchandise other than the 1st movie on DVD and VHS. That's how I am with Balto. I also watch the movie when my mom says to get off the internet. Either that or drawing Balto. Another thing, when we get freetime in class, Balto here I come!!!!! I also listen to the soundtrack almost every single day, and listen to Heritage of the Wolf for extra emotional support! I can write the name the way it is on the movie cover without looking at it!
I like Balto!

Am I a real Balto fan? You bettya! :3

Why am a real Balto fan if you may ask? Well I first had wanted to watch Balto in 2010, However I could not find it anywhere to watch. I remember seeing my sister watch the first one on youtube, but I was so obsessed with The Lion King at that time I did not Know that she was watching Balto. I did however, watch Balto 3 when it was on Netflix for the short time. I was board with it though, and went in the Kitchen and ate cereal instead. xD I found Balto when I first joined Lion king Source in 2011. In September of 2012, I printed one of the Books off of Ac's site. I read it and got to learn more Snipets of the story. It sounded interesting to me, so I wanted to see the movie very badly. I found a site called letmewatchthisnow.com, It had all three Balto movies on it, but I didn't even get 5 minutes in on the first movie. I was upset until the next week I had found that someone had the whole First movie on youtube. Me and my sister watched it and I fell in love with it. My parents tried to find Balto for me while I was at school, They didn't find it. On October, 27, 2012, She found the movie for me in a Three pack DVD. Not long after, I won a Sitting Balto plush off of Ebay on October, 28th, 2012. Balto helped me through hard times.

How I'm a real fan :

- Balto helped me through Bullying when I was in the 8th grade.Wh
- Balto helped me Through My Crush not Noticing me.
Balto helped me through the Breakup with my Ex Boyfriend.
- I always drew Balto when I was in school.
I started to collect Merchandise from the movies.
It is my Official movie that I watch for Months in the Fall through the Winter.
I plan on Making my Own Balto stuff.
I know that I have more reasons, But I'm Brain fried at the moment.

In fact, I have a Picture of my Collection. (Still adding more, so it's small.)


I've been a Fan of Balto since 2012, And proud of it.

Balto has helped me through a lot of things too. He helped me when my Tourette's Syndrome got too painful to bear. If you don't know what tourette's is, click here --> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tourette_syndrome
There's more to it, you can read about it in my review on "Balto" once it gets activated.

Seen a trailer of the movie in 1995 and I was fascinated by the animation. Firstly seen the movie around 2000 and loved it! It's my absolute favorite-movie. It also sparked my interest in wolves and alaska. And the interest in wolves instigate my love to Balto. Then, the two sequels came and I love them also, because they are really good dtv-sequels (except for the animation of Wolfquest, but the story reimburses enough).

This obsession peaked into BaltosDream.com - my Balto-fansite. Created originally as a german fan-project, because there haven't been good german balto-sites at this time.

But it's not only the Balto-movies. I also found the whole Serum Run fascinating. Especially after reading "The cruelest miles" and I still wonder why there isn't a movie, based on that great book (Balto is fantastic, but very simplified).

So yeah, I would say, I'm a real fan And not even that, I would say, Balto changed my life in a way, no movie did ever before or after.

- I first fell in love with the movie when it was first released in '95 when I was 4/5 years old
- To this day it is still one of my favorites
- When I was younger I wrote 4 fan fiction sequels to the first film
- I can entertain myself by researching the true history of the story by reading articles and watching videos
- The dedication and bravery that all of the mushers and dogs displayed when risking their own lives through that blizzard to save the lives of children literally moves me to tears
- I would love to have a black and white husky or a wolf dog named Balto (or Steele, Nikki, Kaltag, Star, you get the idea)
- I would also love to take some photos of me with his statue in NYC...
- ...And his display in Cleveland
- I have been a member of this site since I was 15/16 years old and I'm now 23
