I made a video using clips from Balto, and "Stray", the theme song from Wolf's Rain. It seemed to fit Balto pretty perfectly.

Nice work. I tried to make a video to this song once, but the full song is just far too long.

Thanks. Yeah, the full one is like 5 and a half minutes. The shorter intro made me think of Balto and a lot of the parallels between the song's lyrics and Balto's story. I'm not real good at video editing, so I'm not sure it came out quite how I imagined it might, but the idea was to show how Balto was a stray, an outcast. But then he embraced his wolf side, and Jenna showed him that it wasn't so bad being a stray after all.

I sort of wish I had a little more time, 1:30 ended up being shorter than I wanted. I love the song though, and I think it fits Balto perfectly.

edit - Also, god, the animation in Balto is gorgeous. You forget after not watching it for a while how beautifully detailed it is. CGI movies just cannot capture the intrinsic beauty of hand animation, not even Pixar.
