When was the last time this sucker was released on DVD...2003-ish? I sadly never got the chance to get any animated films from the '80s because of poor DVD release and my procrastination habit. among the films that have not been relesed was Balto, who many on Balto Source have been gunning for a Special edition DVD or even a re-release, since the last time Balto came out was in 2003. And now, prepare yourselves for this. On Balto Source, our admin, Steet, posted something for those in the US (and Australia, AKA my old neck o' the woods.) Universal is going to release a dvd pack with these three films : -Balto -An American Tail -The Land Before Time ![]() Now, for Balto fans, this is a HUGE step in the right direction, we have been fighting and singing a petition for near a year as well as letters, repeated e-mails, and just plain support. Now, the 3-pack is being release November 6th, 2007...so very very soon. It will be $20.00 for all three movies, which is a good buy. for those who don't know Balto, I highly recommend it! More people will get to know these animated films from the '80s and '90s...sadly, some people on Balto Source did not know what An American Tail is. Hopefully, this is a step to where you want to be too, getting people to know the original as well as the sequels, since the original is rather hard to find (i've been tracking for quite some time! <_< ) I see that some of you are gunning for a Land Before Time Special edition DVd...and while this may not be it...it IS a step in the right direction, getting more people to watch it and want to learn more about it. Hopefully, this DVD 3-pack will help you as well as us Balto fans! ~Teek |

The Cera image comes right from the original movie's cover. Cera's frill is in a wrong angle on that one. |

haha, look at Balto. He doesn't even have the right coloring. I do admit they do look a little...odd. haha. But at least it's the movies! ^^ |

Most cartoon DVD covers don't match with the movie. So it's not very surprising for me. But then again, I want that DVD. B) |

No offense to anyone, but Littlefoot looks kinda stoned. ^^; Maybe he ate a bad plant? Hmm. Interesting. I might look for this when it comes out. |

Balto is the wolf character on the middle banner. I saw part of it while my cousin was watching it, but I don't remember anything about it except for something that some weirdo bird said. Something about..."People Bumps"? Maybe I'm mistaken.

^ Boris was a snow goose I think and instead of goosebumps, he got people bumps. :lol: I guess we need to find out more about this release. I've yet not bought American Tail or Balto on DVD so it might prove worthwhile if the LBT film is better than the 1999 release I have. |

The real Balto was a part of the legendary 1925 Serum Run og Nome, where over 150 dogs and 20 musher relaying it from Nenana to Nome, Alaska. Serveral dogs used in the dled run include Fritz, Fox, Balto, Blackie, and proably the most remembered besides Balto, Togo. The temas ran over 674, in just 5 1/2 days (most of it in the dark) ~~~~ This movie, released in 1995, was based VERY loosly on the Serum Run. In the movie, Blato is a outcas half-dog, half-wolf who just wants to run. Bullied by the top sled dog, Steele and his team, Balto has very few friends including Boris the snow goose; Muk and Luk, two polor bears who cannot swim; and Jenna, the beuatiful husky. When the diptheria strikes Nome in the winter of 1925, Balto is left out of the Serum Run Team and watches as the dogs race out of a town to get the medicine Nome so desperatly needs. On the way back with the medicine, Steele leads his team past the second checkpoint, getting themselves seriously and totally lost. Balto goes after them with his gang of misfit creatures to bring the team home and save Nome from what could be the most terrifying enemy of all. ~~~~~~ Haha, I sound like a commerical. This is what I get for having a sister obsessed with Balto. Petrie, what do you want to know? I can ask Balto Source's admin, who might have a clue. |

Here is a little tidbit of Balto...everyone's favorite part, the White Wolf scene. Balto: White Wolf Scene Enjoy! Threehorn--> 20.00 is VERY good for all three of these classics, considering they'd proably cost 20.00 each seperatly. Go for it! |

Actually, the original LBT movie runs at $7.50 at my local Wal-Mart, and I'm sure An American Tail runs at a similar price. |

If LBT is from the same crummy source the other releases have been from then what's the point? I think Tail got a double disc or recent release not too long ago. |

Holy crap! The only reason I haven't gotten another copy of the original LBT dvd is because it's labeled as a "classic" and it is $25 at my walmart and $20 at costco.

Hmm, DVDs in my walmart (one-disc ones) are typically anywhere between $9-16, though some are around $20. But I never seen anything over $23 unless it came with more than one disc. |
