Entertainment Reviews:
The goose and bears, in particular, don't add much to the proceedings, while Balto himself proves rather blandly heroic.

Rating: 3.5/5 --
Unassuming and enjoyable animated adventure.

Rating: 3/5 --
With no cheesy songs to slow proceedings down and some barnstorming chase sequences, this is enchanting, highly enjoyable and impressively crafted (not least for its adventurous "camera work") and would have made a pretty fair live action film.

...This is a kids' movie, simply told, with lots of excitement and characters you can care about...
Chicago Sun-Times
The makers of this half-hearted animated feature let the story ramble on with a minimum of second-hand plotting and characterisation.

Product Description:
Based on the true adventure of an Alaskan sled dog named Balto who trekked across the frozen tundra to deliver a serum to a remote village in 1925, BALTO is a heartwarming animated film that features the voices of Kevin Bacon and Bridget Fonda. Balto, who is half wolf and half dog and therefore an outcast among the other dogs, must endure the treacherous attacks of the evil Steele as he tries to lead the precious cargo of serum through the dangerous Alaskan winter to save the village of Nome from diphtheria as well as win the love of Jenna, a female dog with whom he has fallen in love.
