Now there is a movie of Togo!

Balto is a marvel, but Leonhard Seppala and his dog Togo took the serum over the most dangerous part of the trail (the shortcut over the ice that was mentioned). They shouldn't be forgotten either :)

Yeah, it's sad to know that there were other leading dogs covered other parts of the journey who didn't get so acknowledged. But I guess it's the blizzard that got him the statue, since at that point, the man couldn't see through the snow and it all relayed on the leading dog.

You're absolutely right, I remember reading that exact thing years ago. Yes, Togo (There was another dog named Fritz as well) and his team did take the serum over the most dangerous part of the run, but everyone only saw Balto and his team after the antitoxin was handed off at the last checkpoint. That doesn't diminish Balto and his team's effort, but I think credit should be given to everyone who's earned it.

Interesting to think that probably the most difficult challenge Balto ever faced wasn't perilous danger in the Alaskan wilderness, but living in climates he wasn't used to, doing work he wasn't bred for, surrounded by people he didn't know or trust while being paraded around like a show dog. He lived and breathed the frigid Alaskan air, and was clearly at his best when given the opportunity to put his skills to work in the sled dog teams.

Getting the diptheria serum to Nome, was NE VER about competition, or, 2 competing huskies. UNTIL, Humans made it that way. Togo was chosen to play his role, Balto was chosen to play his part. BOTH dogs deserve credit, WHERE credit is due. IF it was not for ToGo and Balto, well, WHO really knows how events could have, would have, might have went? Give credit, WHERE credit IS due. ToGo. Balto.

All credit is due to all dogs. But balto was one of two leads. The other Fox. And Togo did 240 miles of that 600 himself. 19 other mushers did about 19 miles on average for the rest. Barely 10% of Togo. Ironically, Togo, Balto, Fox and their entire teams were both owned and trained by the same musher. Seppala, who ran the longest route with Togo as his lead. The part that they really don't tell you is the nature of the storm. Negative 40 degrees. 60 mph winds and snow. Mushers couldn't see, frostbite set in even among the 19 miles. Mushers hands were frozen to their sleds and they were blind.

I've always been fascinated by the true story, and I've always loved the film. I wouldn't change anything about it. I think it does a good job of capturing both that fear, sadness, and also suspense that the families of the children had been feeling at that time. The film did stay true to many aspects of the true story, just in different ways that were made more dramatic for the film. Balto actually was sort of an outcast, not viewed as being valuable or experienced. He really was an underdog who proved himself against the odds. It's so inspirational. It's just a shame that the timing of the film's release caused it to be overshadowed and underrated (Toy Story).

For all that Balto and the other dogs did in saving those children in Nome, he and the other dogs should have been left there to continue to do the work they were bred for. They were working dogs who had a purpose and deserved to continue that work instead of being sent to climates ill suited for their breeds, exploited for profit and sent to spend their lives confined in a cage at the zoo.

I partially agree with this, but in fact these dogs would eventually have to retire in alaska, and many of retired dogs at the time were either abandoned or put down since they could not work anymore. If Balto could not have a family or be someone's companion at his retirement as it'd be the best fit, then spending the rest of his life in the zoo ends up being one of the best alternatives for him when we look back at how dogs were treated back then.

Maybe you could take him up with the guy that bred him. He also bred and owned Togo, and considered Balto an inferior animal. He was so vexed when Balto got all the attention that he sold him to the museum, even though Gunner Kassan loved the dog.

Imagine that 5 and a half day, these dog are all heroes.

My big thrill is seeing footage of Garnet Bielfelt, who tells of the kids gathering pennies. In 1970 she was a clerk, I was a stockboy, age 13, at Upson Pharmacy in Euclid OH. She would drive me in her car as I delivered prescriptions, and she was an amazing grown-up full of fascinating stories. Balto is great, but what a joy to see and hear an adult who made an impression on me.

Funny how no one mentions the other lead dog "Fox" who was with Balto in the same husky run.

I'm not at all surprised that we have Balto, Togo, the whole team, as well as the other dog teams save the children, and then children give all their money to save Balto. That's what is special about children; they want to help animals; the adults want fame from these dogs. They wanted to parade them round and have a show and put them up in a zoo for profit, get paid for a sneak peek at the dogs in a dim area. That's all it was; money.

However, how do we know balto wasn't wolf? I guarantee there's not a single drop of husky in him. From his tongue, I would say part chow, his coat..part malamute, his nose is wolf, and his shoulder breadth maybe Akita or going back again to malamute. Color and brains? Border collie...what else?

Yes. Togo can outran any working dogs in that time. Balto’s team can only run 50 miles. Togo ran almost 300 miles. If not for Togo there will be no serum to be brought by Balto. Check the facts.

A few things wrong. Leonhard Seppala turned the serum over to Charlie Olson who went through the worst of the storm. Olson turned the serum over to Gunnar Kaasen. When Kaasen took the serum the storm was mostly over and it was an easy trip into Nome where he arrived at 5:30 am. It was dark and the town was under strict quarantine and no one saw Kaasen arrive. The film and photos of Balto leading the team up to Dr. Welch's office were all staged the next day. It's a disgrace what happened to Balto and his teammates. Togo had a very good ending, thanks to Leonhard Seppala and Peg Ricker. The Iditarod Sled Dog Race IS NOT done to commemorate the serum run. That is done to revive dog mushing.

He many others got together and recreated the gold rush trail and runs. Many associate the iditarod with the serum run but that is not the case!

It’s a beautiful animation that’s for sure but Balto was not the only hero. Many more dogs and mushers deserve the honor specially Togo cause his breeder/owner thought he was not qualified as sled dog bc he was the runt and never grew that big. And he was quid of age when he took the journey to bring the medicine.

Balto was the last animated film to be produced by Amblimation. The studio closed in 1997 after only eight years of operation and its office building became a self-storage facility called Access Self-Storage. All 250 of Amblimation's crew members went on to join DreamWorks Animation, which was later acquired in 2016 by Universal's parent company NBCUniversal for $3.8 billion. Balto was a major financial disappointment (it was overshadowed by the success of Pixar's Toy Story),

Togo traveled 262 miles while Balto was 20+ miles. Just imagine the struggle of Togo and Seppala just to deliver the medicine to the children.

Why wasn't this a special feature on the dvd?!?!

Knowing Balto was neutered puts into question the whole Jenna subplot. Now if it had been Togo as the main character they might not have needed to include those insufferable polar bears.

balto is my favorite

Book The Cruelest Miles tells the story of the Serum run. As a musher enthusiast and Siberian owner the real dog hero was Togo and his team who traveled twice as many miles than the other teams. Although all the teams deserve a great honor and I believe the mushers who did transport the serum received honors. The time that it took the mushers to do the run has never been broken

Jesus Christ. Give the dogs some dignity. Bury them with proper ceremonies, not parade them around stuffed.

I can't believed this guy did this to balto

Am I the only one who just breaks down and balls like a baby when I hear this story? Planes, boats, trains, nothing. But dogs. Dogs.

Balto was a true american hero to us and to all wolves and dogs everywhere god bless him the bravest dog ever
