A Terrible Movie - Do Not Waste Your Time / Money!
I rarely give a bad review, but this is honestly one of the worst movies I've ever watched. The engaging characters from the first Balto movie (ie, Kevin Bacon and crew) are all different no-namers here... but what's worse is there is no story of any conceivable kind, only social agenda narratives infused into the mindless plot. Also disturbing was the very inappropriate reference to suicidal ideations, where the goose character "Borris" refers to needing something "like a hole in the head"... totally inappropriate for young kids to hear such things. The animation is of such low quality many of the characters are not even shaded or have more than one color. It has no discernable ties to the first movie and leaves you wondering at the end why you just wasted 2 hours of your life for no reason. The entire production was
done in 'Chxxa' as made clear in the credits, so that may explain a lot about why it seems like a big cultural disconnect. This was a painful movie for me and my family to get through, not very entertaining for the kids and leaving them a bit confused overall. Do not waste a cent or a second of your life on this movie in thinking it is anything like the first one... it is not.
Everything about this movie was amazing. It really reminds me of the time when I first watch this as a kid. I like it even better now that I'm an adult. Would recommend this to anyone who has kids or just like animated wolves.
