I printed the script out so I can read it. I noticed that first Nikki, Katlag, and Star are with Steele and making fun of Balto.

Steele: Didn't make the team, Bingo?

Boris: Dont listen to him...don't look at him.

Balto: My name is Balto.

Steele: Balto, Balto the half breed (The gang appears laughing)

Nikki: Good word play dere boss.

Katlag: You are the witties, the qiuckest, the most haliraoius-

Star: You crack me up! Ha ha ha ha ha!

Then when Balto leaves, and when Steele leaves,

They also say;

Nikki: Dat son of a...

Katlag: He was the most malicoius, the most disgusting, the most obnoxius, the most revolting, the most repulsing...

Star: He's no lap dog!

I think that most cronies are like that. They are afraid of the cool dude so they suck up to him when he's around and then they whine about him behind his back.

You just don't get do ya'

yeah, they don't like Steele, but then again that doesn't mean they really liked Balto totally at that point in the movie. they're just against the way Steele treats others and his overally attitude. they're just afraid of what he'll do if they say anything contradicting.

I dissagree with that, in a deleted scene Star rips off Steele's collar. So that means that he's not afraid of him anymore.

I never got Stars "He's no lap dog!".....I guess that's why Kaltag pounds him in the head...

I think they are with steele because they don't want to be bullied by him.

they remind me of two faced backstabbers in that part

Well, the trio didn't really like Balto, so they never minded making fun of him. They prtended to like Steele though, because he was the "cool" dog, and hanging around with him would get them respect and make them cool too.

I always thought Nikki Kaltag and Star really supported Balto, and truely hated Steele

That proves that villains don't deserve loyalty!

I think that they are frighting by Steele's wit and higharchery position. They are the typical cronies. Not smart enough to do something, so they hang out with the better guy.

Kaltag and Nikki were definitely on Steele's side. Steele wasn't watching/nearby when Nikki insulted Balto's heritage and when Nikki kicked Balto off the racetrack and when he and Kaltag tried blocking Balto in the race. Not to mention Kaltag and Nikki were laughing and encouraging Steele when Steele beat up Balto when he found the sledteam. In other words, they're two faced backstabbers like someone said previously And IF the trio was afraid of Stele then why didn't they just avoid him?! They weren't afraid, they were just jerks.
