Lemmie give ya an example, and dont hog tie me and roast me over a fire for this…

Now from the first movie, heres a 'headshot' screenie. It looks like its done by a pro yes? And it is, now lemmie find a link to the Balto 2 headshot screenie I found...

Alright, here it is. Usually, if this picture was done correctly, we'd have some sort of ground in there, and their shoulders/backs and or legs would be in this screenie. However we just get necks and strange heads I might add.

Ok, now in this screenie from Balto 2... we've got the same exact poses for both Balto and Aleu. That just don't work. Now Aleu looks like her chin and chest fur are like, trying to merge together...

On top of that, what the heck is she looking at? AND Nava's eye isn't completely.. y'know formed really. His eyebrow looks like its only half of one. And take a good look at the paws. It looks like some person just squiggled somthing in there to show the toes.

Now this is from Balto, the poses are different, nobodys missing an eye or the chin isn't completely dissolved or anything. Sure Star looks a little deformed but he somtimes does. I don't blame them for that, he's got a wacky head anyways.

Thing is, compairing those two..

Balto two looks like some amatures did it, and Balto looks like some pros really put some hard work into their film.

The reason that the sequels sucked was because they didnt have enough(or want to pay) money to hire a good cast.

The first will always be the best, hands down. Many articles have been written about the poor quality of WQ and WOC, and really, all we can do about it is just hope for another sequel or perhaps do a project like Greykitty, Cat, and the others are doing for a Balto micro serise. BTW, I never noticed how badly drawn that pic of Nava was. Good catch!

out of all three films i think the first one was best animated

no one worked really hard on WQ which is a shame since a lot of people complain about the animation and that it could be better etc.

I don't like your language. it's not that mine is perfect. but I spend too much time on figuring out what you're trying to say 'cause English isn't my mother tounge. but that's besides the point. the point is, the sequels are crappy because they have low budget. OR they have budget but don't want to pay. they thought all animated movies are for kids and ONLY for kids, which isn't true. and they thought that kids won't pay attention to some mistakes, which isn't true, either.

Well that's because the B1 animators actually studied real huskies and malamutes etc. etc. to get a good grasp of canine anatomy. ...and the B2 animators couldn't give squat about how it looked.

Kaspar, November 13, 2007 at 20: 56 Member

It's probably because B2 -was- made my amatures -.-

not being mean OK: But WHY make a crappy sequeal for a movie THAT DIDNT attract much attention at the time ANYWAY! Cause nobodies gonna watch a sequeal, to a movie they didnt watch! Thats why they didnt make it was good, because t was for money, and they thought no-one would watch it,but by the time it was relased,the balto fans were a reather large number!

Fifi, November 30, 2007 at 21: 31 Member

So true it hurts. I never noticed that in the "screenie" of Nava, Balto and Aleu. That is sooo icky!( OW MY EYES! I'VE BEEN SCARRED FOR LIFE! ) I wish the same animators worked on Balto 2, and 3 for that matter. You make a great point majalo.

The reason for this Balto was a an old movie so it looks pretty good so people well get you interested. The others I don't think they care.

okay, this article was hard to understand and follow. But the pic with Nava in it is just the.....wow. The artists in that movie sucked! really bad!!!! WQ and WoC TOTALLY ruined Balto. Totally. Ruined. Him.
