It was amazing when I first saw this scene as a child, somehow you just KNEW that was his mother, although there was no evidence for or against that claim, you just knew a mother's love when you saw it. It's very hard to explain through words, especially after so long, but somehow, you just knew.
I think the howls should have been put into the final track of "Heritage of the Wolf".At least the first one. The first one is the most bone-chilling howl I have ever heard.
I was reading an article about why the song "Someone Like You" causes such a strong response in people. The only song I could think of that still gives me goosebumps after 15 years was the score at this part of the movie. Definitely excellent.
When i was little,i found a pure bred husky pup that looked just like balto.Before we were able to buy him,he passed in the pound.RIP Balto,the dog i never had...
I love this scene! Well to be honest, I love the music during this scene lol. The slowly increasing orchestration, the constant modulation, and finally that epic crescendo! seriously though, this one bit changes key 4 times O.o
I actually have this bookmarked so I can keep coming back to watch it. It just never gets old. I always wait in anticipation for the part of the scene where both of them howl. That part always gets me.
@WinddanceGirl hehe that would be the brass section kicking it at the crescendo ^^ I really should make a piano arrangement of this section of the cue O.o
Most animated movies that are based on historical events aren't anywhere near the truth anyways. Take Pocahontas for example... The Disney version make it seem as I her and John Smith were in love, when in reality, John Smith was in his 50's when he came to America and Pocahontas was only 9. Kinda gross if it would have actually happened... But Pocahontas did save John's life. And Balto did save many people's lives with the medicine he helped to deliver. Either way you cannot change how beautif
As cool as the movie was in my childhood it is historically inacurate as others have pointed out. Balto wasn't part wolf, the animators added that part in to provide an extra lesson for the kids like us who grew up watching it, you know to be yourself and not be a shamed of your heritage. This scene is still an awesome one for people who like to go on nostalgia trips every so often.
@mermaidmelody161 Aniu is most likely a spirit. In the second movie when Balto has his first litter, Aniu appears to him on his journey to find Elu. I believe it was directly after he said his goodbyes to Elu. It's been a while since I've seen the second movie. Then she promptly disappears. So, I assume that she is watching over Balto as a spirit; only appearing to him in his time of great need or emotion trauma.
@WinddanceGirl Never cared much for the sequels but that was definitely my belief even as a kid. That it was sort of implied the White Wolf was a spirit.
@WinddanceGirl Yeah, they were obvious cash ins just as bad as Disney direct-to-video nonsense. The first movie is a staple of my childhood though. I loved the art direction, setting and scenery. The characters were good, and their were no dumb musical numbers.
Maybe so. But the second one still had some pretty good moments in my opinion.
Who you really are kinda hit me because then, I was struggling to figure out just what the hell I wanted to do with my life and "the grand design" while a little silly seemed pretty good at the time too.
But yes, the third one definately is just a cash in. Even if it is about surviving in changing times.
Hate advertising on other peoples videos, so I'll make this short.
Midnight Haze Productions is finally underway. We will be making the Balto into a animated Youtube series, to honor it's endless timeline. Some fans may not like the idea of this, as it may slightly drift away from the original 3 movies. Though we plan to bring back all the characters, and add new ones. If you would like to become a viewer, or even have a character submited for possible selection, then visit our channel and PM us
This movie is very misleading.. Balto was a siberian husky, NOT part wolf. Also, Balto's team often gets the most credit for the delivery of the medicine, when it was Leonard Seppala's team that ran the longest by FAR.
And if you seriously think Balto's real mounted body looks remotely part wolf, I'm going to lose my faith in the human race. Search 'balto' on wikipedia and you can see the picture of it.
I'm going to have to agree with AgentSparklePony. Balto was a Siberian Husky. I highly doubt a Wolf hybrid would have been put on a team for a mission as important as that one. However, his breeding doesnt change the fact that he was a hero.
Also, cap locking like mad doesnt make your position appear any better. It just makes you look mad and less likely to be taken seriously in my opinion.
@KAR5AVATARGT Google 'balto mounted' and click on the first site that comes up. It contains a picture of the real Balto, and facts about him. It's a .org website, so it's actually reliable. Also, are you really that stupid to think that a part wolf would be put on a sled dog team at all, let alone on a mission that important? Huskies are bred for the job over several generations, wolves are not. A part wolf wouldn't be nearly tame enough to train. Do some research.
@BrennaG03 Yeah. Y'know the music in this reminds me an awful lot of Enemy At The Gates? If you listen to the background in that movie (it seems particularly in the slow parts), it matches this almost exactly.
I once underwent an experience rather like this, with a wolf... but who cares about that. This is wonderfully directed and conceived animation which just puts the two DTVs to shame (though neither were bad). Someone should make a fourth Balto movie. It should take this scene as its central premise, and it should just be called 'Balto 2' (or 'Balto: Two')
Apologies. The sequels had much to recommend them - well, Wolf Quest, at least had somevirtues.. 'The other one was pretty lame.
Asperger's Syndrome is part of the ASD spectrum, AKA autism. It's a milder form of the more severe type, so it makes people that have it seem like a "half-breed" of autistic and "normal." That's why I can relate to Balto so much. :)
Ive seen this movie when i was 5 AND IVE ALWAYS WANTED TO KNOW WHAT IS THE SONG IN THE BACKROUND im 20 years old now and i still havnt found it SOME ONE PLEASE HELP !!
I've seen this movie over 10 times, and I see everyone's reactions...I'm afraid I still don't know what this scene meant...And to the one top comment, what's Asperger's Syndrome?
@NinjaFox97 A large white wolf appears to him and he turns away in shame. However, as the wolf walks away, Balto notices the intact crate nearby. He realizes that Boris' advice meant that being part wolf is a strength, not a weakness, and embraces that heritage with a howl, joined by the white wolf.
@blinkaloo Oh I can relate alright. Not going to get into it (it'd take hours lmao), but let's just say I'm a little something called a therian...mkay?
Balto is soooo much better than Teh Lyin' King. Why? Well, both films are epic and awesome, but TLK takes that epic awesomeness and mixes it in with TOILET HUMOR! FART jokes and ZEBRA POOP jokes?! REALLY?!
@outrayjess When this movie was made, there was no planning for sequels. So the white wolf here is not Balto's mother, or not regarded as such during production; the wolf represents Balto embracing his wolf nature and using it to rise above.
Balto wanted so much to be a normal dog (since people treated him like shit because he was part wolf) that he never realized how much stronger than the others he was because of the part of him that was a wild animal.
The best fucking scene to ever exist in my childhood. No movies or TV shows nowadays could never make a scene the Great. This is beyond brilliant. back in the day writers and producers knew what the people liked. Now they put on anything that has a cool but not well-thought out action sequence
@Dragonmaster74123 It was a true wolf. Some say is Balto's mother (who appears in the second movie) but I don't know if they had this idea when the first movie was made (that the wolf is his mother). I think is just a normal wolf, like the ones who appeared in the beginning of the movie and howled to him. I don't see WHY the wolf HAS to be related to Balto (It IS a cool idea thought).
@AnaShadowWolf Yes it is a cool Idea. It also could be a symbolic reference to Jesus. Balto was lost and did not know what to do till this white wolf came and showed him the path and what he must do. In the same way, when we are lost, God will show us the way; we just have to be the ones who go down Gods path like Balto did with the White Wolf.
I mean it's plausible when you consider that all of the original characters are not drawn or animated anywhere near as well as the first movie and they far exaggerated the size of everyone's paws, especially Balto's. (Not to mention the fact that Balto's eyes have changed from a dark yellowish-orange to completely white and instead of being brownish gray, he's just gray.) So, I think it's possible they just tried to re-animate the white wolf and fucked it up like all the other characters.
Actually, to fix my statement from before... I think that "Aniu" from movie two is fine as Balto's mother, but I don't think that Aniu and the original "white wolf" are the same. Then again, the animation in Balto 2 was ridiculously terrible compared to the original Balto, where every character was hand-drawn and all the backgrounds were hand painted. So it could be that the Balto 2 animators wanted the original white wolf to be his mother and just botched it's features.
No one has to know what the white wolf is. I think the creators made the white wolf a mystery for the viewers' individual interpretation of what the white wolf is. In my opinion, I think it is Balto's mother, but no one has to agree with it. :)
There was this one time in my life where I was ashamed of having Asperger's Syndrome. My peers at school would make fun of me, and the teachers would ignore me or be scared of me. But when I listened to Michael Jackson's songs and his message, he ws like the white wolf. Ever since, I became proud for being different, and I made a howl when I accepted it also. Thank you creators of Balto, for making a story about being a hero is a journey from the inside, not on the out.
@BaltoLoneWoolf I know how that feels. I have Asperger's as well. Although I didn't know I had it until two years ago. Once you accept your differences and use them to your advantage, you can move mountains.
@ LadyAmalthia15 You see, I don't like the Aniu from Wolf Quest being Balto's mother, because I feel they just animated a random white wolf and made it take on the role of the white wolf from the first Balto. But the original wolf is most likely related to Balto in some way. It may have howled at Balto like the other wolves, but it did act as though it remembered him from somewhere and was disappointed in the fact that he gave up so easily. A mother would most likely feel that way.
I agree with kamelai, they messed up by adding it in Balto II... to me, I always thought the White Wolf was his lost and forgotten brother from when they were pups, reason being that this wolf and the one in II have different eye colors and this wolf was much bigger than the II counterpart and the dogs mention "wolves"... then again it could also mean that the White Wolf represents his inner wolf, especially since Boris says that line "a dog cannot make this journey alone, but maybe a wolf can"
''let me tell you something balto, a dog, can not to make this journey a lone...but may be it...a wolf can'' me encata esta linea, y esta película es impresionante, i love this film
This movie is just amazing! It brings back a ridiculous amount of memories, and, I mean, Kevin Bacon! I'm surprised I haven't completely worn out my VHS copy.
It didn't really ruin it for me that they made a white wolf character in the second movie. What really ruined it was the way everything was animated in the second film. The epic-ness and spirit of the first movie was completely was completely trampled on with the making of the second.
I do think the white wolf being Balto's mother is a feasible option. There's nothing wrong with Balto having her as a kind of spirit guide. The concept isn't completely ridiculous.
@MsSbolin excatly, it makes perfect sense that Balto's Mother is his spirit guide, the Native American's looked to the eldest women in the tribe for guidance

@Dragonmaster74123 It was a true wolf. Some say is Balto's mother (who appears in the second movie) but I don't know if they had this idea when the first movie was made (that the wolf is his mother). I think is just a normal wolf, like the ones who appeared in the beginning of the movie and howled to him. I don't see WHY the wolf HAS to be related to Balto (It IS a cool idea thought).

@AnaShadowWolf Yes it is a cool Idea. It also could be a symbolic reference to Jesus. Balto was lost and did not know what to do till this white wolf came and showed him the path and what he must do. In the same way, when we are lost, God will show us the way; we just have to be the ones who go down Gods path like Balto did with the White Wolf.

@Dragonmaster74123 Yeah, that too! It IS a cool way to look at it, haven't thought about it!
I really like those scenes we can analyze it in so many ways.
And that's true. God always help us, in ways we don't even notice.

I mean it's plausible when you consider that all of the original characters are not drawn or animated anywhere near as well as the first movie and they far exaggerated the size of everyone's paws, especially Balto's. (Not to mention the fact that Balto's eyes have changed from a dark yellowish-orange to completely white and instead of being brownish gray, he's just gray.) So, I think it's possible they just tried to re-animate the white wolf and fucked it up like all the other characters.

Actually, to fix my statement from before... I think that "Aniu" from movie two is fine as Balto's mother, but I don't think that Aniu and the original "white wolf" are the same. Then again, the animation in Balto 2 was ridiculously terrible compared to the original Balto, where every character was hand-drawn and all the backgrounds were hand painted. So it could be that the Balto 2 animators wanted the original white wolf to be his mother and just botched it's features.

Anyway you look at it, the idea of the white wolf is romantic. Be it his mother, or his inner wolf, or just a stranger.
And bravo to the score. This is a moment when music, art, and writing come together to create what we call art.

No one has to know what the white wolf is. I think the creators made the white wolf a mystery for the viewers' individual interpretation of what the white wolf is. In my opinion, I think it is Balto's mother, but no one has to agree with it. :)

@BaltoLoneWoolf I had read an interview where an animator said it was a symbol for his mother who was a wolf.

There was this one time in my life where I was ashamed of having Asperger's Syndrome. My peers at school would make fun of me, and the teachers would ignore me or be scared of me. But when I listened to Michael Jackson's songs and his message, he ws like the white wolf. Ever since, I became proud for being different, and I made a howl when I accepted it also. Thank you creators of Balto, for making a story about being a hero is a journey from the inside, not on the out.

@BaltoLoneWoolf I know how that feels. I have Asperger's as well. Although I didn't know I had it until two years ago. Once you accept your differences and use them to your advantage, you can move mountains.

I don't care who this wolf was in the second balto. No matter what, I still say Aniu is Balto's mom.
Taryn6733 3 months ago
@ LadyAmalthia15 You see, I don't like the Aniu from Wolf Quest being Balto's mother, because I feel they just animated a random white wolf and made it take on the role of the white wolf from the first Balto. But the original wolf is most likely related to Balto in some way. It may have howled at Balto like the other wolves, but it did act as though it remembered him from somewhere and was disappointed in the fact that he gave up so easily. A mother would most likely feel that way.

I agree with kamelai, they messed up by adding it in Balto II... to me, I always thought the White Wolf was his lost and forgotten brother from when they were pups, reason being that this wolf and the one in II have different eye colors and this wolf was much bigger than the II counterpart and the dogs mention "wolves"... then again it could also mean that the White Wolf represents his inner wolf, especially since Boris says that line "a dog cannot make this journey alone, but maybe a wolf can"

It didn't really ruin it for me that they made a white wolf character in the second movie. What really ruined it was the way everything was animated in the second film. The epic-ness and spirit of the first movie was completely was completely trampled on with the making of the second.
I do think the white wolf being Balto's mother is a feasible option. There's nothing wrong with Balto having her as a kind of spirit guide. The concept isn't completely ridiculous.

@MsSbolin excatly, it makes perfect sense that Balto's Mother is his spirit guide, the Native American's looked to the eldest women in the tribe for guidance
