Balto III: Wings of Change (2004)

Best movie of this year hands down!

Crappy film

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

The acting in this movie is really good.

This is an awful film! I have seen the whole Balto trilogy and I can't understand why they wanted to try and squeeze blood from a turnip. The first Balto was so-so. Wolfquest was a decent sequel, but this? Today I watched about five minutes into this film on YouTube and remembered why I hated it.I would write a spoiler but I can't even remember what exactly this film is about except that it contains a story about one of Balto and Jenna's pups who is involved with aviation. Oops, I guess that is a spoiler. I guess I'll have to check the box.Just how bad is this crap? Boris gets a girlfriend if that says anything.Do yourself a favor and watch the other two instead. You'll be better off.

First off, Even though I rated it 3/10, I still love Balto so that's one reason why I did not rate it 1/10.I've been a fan of Balto ever since 2012. I fell in love with the first movie, and I just saw and liked Balto 2, but this film is just terrible! I know that they aimed it towards children, but I felt they made it a little too much kiddish. I first watched this movie back in 2011, and I was 12 years old at the time. Even then, I never seemed to show interest in this movie. Within the first 10 minutes of the movie, I thought that it was so boring, that I went in the kitchen to eat a bowl of cereal instead. Balto seemed strange... since when do you want to fly? Jenna looked strange, and I hated Balto and Jenna's son. He was such a jerk! Many of the characters were not likable, I tried watching it the other day, and It was 30 minutes into the movie, and it was so boring! I don't recommend this movie! If you love Balto, stick to the first and second one. This movie would be great for young children. The animation may be better then the second Balto, but it lacks good plot and story like the first two movies. Overall, I rate this movie 3/10, And I only got the movie for my Balto collection.

It is not as good as the first film, which I just love. But it is a notch above the second film, which I personally didn't think was that bad, just the weakest of the three. There are some things that were lacking. The animation is rather rough-around-the-edges, more in the character designs than in the backgrounds and graphics. There are some scenes also detailed in another review that do feel a little random and feel little more than filler. And I really disliked the character of Stella, she was annoying and served no real purpose to the story. However, apart from Stella's song, which I have always found ear-gratingly-bad, the songs are really quite nice especially the credits song. The soundtrack has that mysterious whimsy that fits wonderfully, and the dialogue is thought-provoking and means well. There are also improvements over Wolf Quest, there is a much more coherent story, there is more of the first movie's feel here and Kodi is a much more likable character than Aleu. Other than Stella the characters are great. The voice acting, while not as good as any of that of the first film, is decent. Sean Astin is great as Kodi, and as Balto, while not sounding entirely like Kevin Bacon, Maurice LaMarche again shows what a superb voice actor he is. Jodi Benson is appropriately sympathetic as Jenna, and Keith Carradine brings a certain gruffness to Duke. All in all, not a bad sequel if not on the same level as the original Balto. 7/10 Bethany Cox

OK, the plot is a bit cheesy and predictable. Most of all, it is so simple that it needs a secondary story to back it up, that being a love story for the goose. But it's way better than Wolf Quest and it approaches the quality of the original Balto. The animation is also better, a slight change in the way things and people are drawn is obvious. All in all a good sequel, but enough with Balto. Leave the poor dog alone. Let us see, in the first movie he fought the lead dog and won. In the second Balto he fought a lead wolf and won. Now he takes on a plane, and he wins. Balto does rime with Rambo, doesn't it? :)In conclusion, I would rather watch Balto I and then Balto III. Balto II is not worth watching and the third part is best connected with the first like Highlander...
