Meanwhile the 2D feature The Princess & The Frog is having a bad time at the box office, Disney is showing the first official screenshot of Raiponce (slated for release late 2010)

My opinion? I like the style : it's much nicer than anything I have seen being created with computers, especially the characters. They made a great work on the eyes, so that they are very expressive, almost as much as if they were hand drawn.

Of course I don't think the style will affect anything on the animation side, and it still keeps the "roundish / Pixarish" style that I don't like, but it's still [...]

Balto On itunes Store! I was asked a request by iwolf123. If I was able to post his topic in this week's fan news, he would like to know what everyone would think if the Balto movie and soundtrack would be on the iTunes store?

I already know that Spirit Source and All Dogs Go To Heaven Source will be the two most popular sites here after Balto Source. Which is logical, these sites are made for attracting the current visitors while the others are there for "enlarging" the members base.

* UPDATED * See below!

The Princess And The Frog is now available widely (in the US!) and here's its first week end box office :

$24,208,916

My analysis? Disappointing. VERY disappointing.

This is below the expectations, below any 3D animated film being released over the past years. UP made 3 times that, other lesser efforts such as Cloudy With a Chance of Meatball or Disney's A Christmas Carol made much better.
Enchanted, a film with similar aspects but limited target, made 35M$. Heck, even Curious George, a 2D animated film that no one talked about when it was released in 2006 and [...]

G'day, Balto Source members! I apologize once more for the hiatus of my features; hopefully you will find these to your liking! 

As always, I will open this up with some reminders.

As it's apparent some members don't read the Fan Character rules, I have posted an elaboration on the forums, simply explaining what they mean. This topic has very important information; please be sure to read it!

There is a new The Jungle Book TV series to be broadcast soon, and this one is made in CGI.

It isn't from Disney, obviously. Although, I have to admit that it looks very nice (and that's a lot, coming from someone like me who dislikes almost anything CGI)!

Actually this looks very close to the Disney version, except for...

A serious Baloo with glasses?? *GASP*

Maybe they wanted to avoid getting sued by Disney

To see more, check the official website and this Youtube video.

I still think that making a new Talespin series in CGI would be a bad idea. (no-no)

In case you didn't already know...

The Princess & The Frog is opening today in theaters, in the USA!

So if you live there, well...what are you waiting in front of your computer??? Get out and see it! Now! It's an order!  

More seriously : for now the film has grossed $2,410,820 in only two theaters. (pre-release) which is an impressive amount (but was expected!) We should receive the "real" figures in a few days with its first wide-release week end.

Will it make an honest effort (10-20 M$) or become the highest-grossing 2D animated film of all time? (> 50 M$) We'll [...]

They're on fire! Yes, the Source websites are multiplying at light speed.

Today, I present you with a site dedicated to this film that, I'm pretty sure, everyone here already knows : All Dogs Go To Heaven, including information on the sequel, the series and the Christmas Carol.

This site has been one of the most requested during the lifetime of Balto Source, so I hope you'll be satisfied!

EDIT : Sorry about that, I'm very impolite. You can thank Silver Deni (graphics) and Mohammad891 (content/info) for all their work on the site!

Yes, there is a new Source site! Maybe not the one you expected (don't worry, the english version of Spirit Source is still on its way)
Nonetheless, this is an important one.

Why is Princess & The Frog important?

The main reason is simple : this upcoming film is Disney's comeback to traditional animation!

Let's remember : in 2003, Disney closed down their 2D animation department, deciding to stop making more "line drawn" animated films like their past glories from the 90's : The Lion King, Aladdin, Beauty & the Beast... That [...]

I have performed a lot of changes on the sites recently, in order to solve some trouble with webranking.

Especially, the forums URL have changed : but don't worry, if you bookmarked some pages, you will be redirected to the right page.

I have done some testing, but if you see experience some bugs, please report them!

Also, I have added some neat "Share" buttons on most site pages, so that you can now easily share your creations, the interesting articles you find, etc...on Facebook, Twitter and others!

Hello Balto sourcers! I hope you all had a great thanksgiving (If you celebrate it that is.) The months are getting colder now, and christmas is on its way! Happy holidays everyone!

I have done a little change on the way news are displayed.

In particular, the Animation Source news will appear on all the sites, so that everyone knows when I make changes that affect all the sites.

Also, only a part of the news will be displayed on the front page, in order to show more than a single news. The aim is to write news more often, so that you'll get updates more regularly! (instead of one big news every month or so, like I used to do)

I am sorry for the lack of Forum News to the site, it seems that now school is back, there has been little time for new topic's to be created that I would be be able to show you all. Due to this, the update will be a short one and I may of repeated a topic in one of my last updates.

If you are a new member and don't know what the forums are for or where it is, then here is the link to access it. Be aware that rules do apply here and must be read. For those who need more information about the forum, It is a place for discussion on all topic's of the 3 sites and new sites to come. If you [...]

Finally, I have added a new poll, concerning the Talespin Virtual Season. And if you still don't know what it is, check the Talespin VS section on the forums!

Goodday, Balto sourcers. I apologize for missing last weeks fan news, but I wasn't able to get online at a decent time to post a fan news without snoozing. But anyhow, enouph of that.

These are very busy days for Lion King Source, as the brand new moderators are slowly being chosen. Currently the sections of fan art, fan images, fan characters and shout box are moderated by dedicated Lion King Source mods!

The "Fan characters" section has suffered a lot since its creation, and that's partly due to the fact that when I first added it on the site, I didn't finish it entirely.

So now, just like the other sections, the fan characters have rules and must be validated by moderators before they are added on the site. They will also have "must see"s.

Here are the rules :

Related to Balto : Fan characters should be connected to the Balto characters / universe. For example, you can invent the son of a character, a friend, a foe, etc...Or a character connected for other reasons (places, universe, [...]

As you may have noticed, the staff page on Lion King Source is now empty, and all the moderators have been removed. This is because we think that this site now deserves a dedicated staff, which won't be the same of Balto Source anymore.

All of you can join, as long as you are not a moderator on Balto Source and you are a Lion King fan.

So, if you think you would be a good moderator, please email me at the following address: Then we will choose the best [...]

He can change the mods list and permissions himself, so that the staff will be more efficient. (in particular when it comes to inactive mods)
