Balto: Based on a true story Balto will touch your heart. Part husky/part wolf Balto doesn't know where he belongs. He's an outcast in Alaska except to his true friends - Boris the Russian snow goose; polar bear cubs Muk and Luk; and the beautiful husky Jenna. Even though he's different all of Balto's friends recognise what he still can't see himself: his noble spirit. One day a serious diphtheria epidemic spreads fast among the children of Nome. When a fierce bizarre blizzard closes all routes of transport there's no way to obtain life-saving medicine... unless a team of sled dogs can race six-hundred miles through the blinding Arctic storm and bring back antitoxin. But the dogs are lost in the frozen wilderness. Now only Balto can rescue the team and save the children. Starring the voices of Kevin Bacon Bridget Fonda Bob Hoskins and Phil Collins Balto is the remarkable tale of a hero who inspired a nation - and became a legend! (Dir. Simon Wells 1995) Balto 2 - Wolf Quest: BALTO II picks up where the first ended. After settling down with Jenna and having 6 pups it soon becomes time for Balto to give his children up for adoption to human families. However no one wants Aleu his daughter because she looks so much like a wolf. When Aleu figures this out she runs away forcing Balto to go after her and sending her on a journey that reveals quite a bit about herself. (Dir. Phil Weinstein 2001)
