Balto is an animated film, released in 1995 and produced by the Universal / Amblimation studios.
The film follows such films as An American Tail or Land Before Time from the same studio, which share common points with the Disney animated films, and were released during the golden age of traditional western animation.
The story of Balto deals with wolves and dog sledding, and is based on true facts that happened in 1925 in Nome, Alaska, where diphteria, a fatal disease, occured.

Two low-budget sequels to Balto have been released to date, being direct-to-video sequels unlike the original.
This site aims to give the growing Balto fan community everything to share their passion!

After 15 years since the end of the show, and nothing new since then (save for the DVD release), Darkwing Duck comes back TODAY!!!
Not as a TV series, mind, you, but as a comic book. This is published by Boom Studios!, and these are all-new stories involving that crazy superhero duck of Disney. Darkwing Duck will be an ongoing monthly release, and the quality seems high level. Judge by yourself :
And as a good news never

11 commentsGood day Balto source, I am here this week to give you the next chosen creations bassed on one character. This is to show that other members have great skills and to show their art work off! So far this has been a great idea and hopefully will get many of you drawing the Balto characters!
For this update I have chosen a character that most people seem to dislike, but though he is a villian within the film, he is an interesting draw. This week I have chosen Steele!
To start of with the great creations of Steele I would like to say a good well done to Gemini1983 for her wonderful hand
