- Customers will be more interested in buying the sequels if they own the first Balto. So, releasing the first Balto on DVD will boost the sequels sales, too.
- All of the animated classics films now have a special edition DVD, even less popular films- why not Balto?
- Balto has always made good sales on videos, the same would be sure to happen with a new DVD release.
- The current DVD release does not respect the film in any way : the cover is not appealing at all (such a cheap cover can even turn out people by thinking it's not the "true" Balto film), there are no real extras (where are the deleted scenes? the commentaries? things that BOTH kids and adults like...) As a reference, the cover for the VHS versions and the theatrical release was much better.
And the film ratio was transfered into a bad span-and-scan 4/3 format instead of the original theatrical widescreen format, which means a great part of the original image is cut. Also, most of the TV sets sold in the market now are widescreen, and most people don't like watching full screen DVDs on them.
- We've encountered lots of people who want to buy the film, but the current DVD cannot be found in local stores. The only way to find it is by ordering on web shops, which does not seem a good way to sell films to children. How do you expect that people will buy something they can't find? Also, you never released any DVD pack with the Balto films, so releasing Balto 1 as a single shouldn't be a problem.
- Balto is clearly a "sleeper hit" : a film which most people in the world don't know about, but which everyone who has seen it once liked immediately. Balto has never been promoted properly, as a result many people who could be interested in it just don't know about it. If they saw some advertisement for the film (for the occasion of the release of this SE DVD), they would be immediately attracted and would pick it up.
- Special Editions DVDs released for other animated films have always made good to top sales.
- Releasing a DVD costs much less than making a new sequel. Also, this will boost and revive the popularity of the Balto franchise by a lot, and it could bring more opportunities for this franchise in the future.
- Both the fans and "regular" customers would be interested in such a DVD, which is not the case when you release a sequel.
- Balto fits very well the current brand of franchises you're developing : a simple and clean film for the whole family.
- It is the perfect time to release special edition DVDs : almost everyone own DVD players now, including children.
- All Balto fans are waiting for such a DVD eagerly, and the Balto fan community is growing bigger and bigger...

it is a very, very good, touching, and meaningful film. everyone in the world should watch it at least once.
BALTO ROCKS!
i love the balo films, my friends love the balto films, my family loves the balto film, and there is no reasone why they shouldn't. they are Great movies that are very neat and have a one-of-a-kind story line, and i just love it! it is beyond words!!!!!
I think they did a GREAT job on the movie. I like the other two Balto movies but they are never the same as the first. The second one focused more on Alue then Balto and stuff and the same with the third but with Kodi. I do plan on buy the special additon dvd when it comes out because I know it will.
I love the Balto films.
I find that the Balto films are very amuseing and that for people who love animals, would probably find that the Balto films are very interesting.
'Balto' has always held a significant place in my heart ever since I saw it in the theatre in 1995. Years later (I'm now 24), this movie is still very dear to me. I still have my old VHS tape from when it was originally released on video. I had recently gone searching for a DVD replacement, only to find out that many video stores don't carry the original 'Balto', just the sequels (what's up with that?) My husband and I did manage to find it in a DVD set of three animated films which, don't get me wrong, is great, but I was not very impressed with the special features (or should I say lack thereof?) Needless to say, I would be absolutely thrilled about a special edition 'Balto' release. Please consider this petition.
I LOVE THEM TOOOO DEATH!!!!!!!! BALTO IS SOOOOO ADORIABLE!! IM 15 AND I AM A BALTO ADDICT!
i really love the balto films, they changed my life! the balto films is what gave me the idea to move to nome alaska in the first place. i hope that balto gets this dvd.
It is one of the most incredible kid films ever made. It has deep meaning, and is great for people of all ages.
I love balto. I did watch Balto I, II, and III and their all pretty good. I just wish there was a part 4 though. But overall, the movies are the best and they are still my favorite movies. I would watch them over and over and never get tired of them. :)
They are great films that deserve more recognition.
I love Balto - have not seen Balto 2 but would like to know how to purchase Balto.
I think that they are very touching classic films. I also love how they each have their own little storyline, and the 2nd and 2rd movies aren't just repeats of the 1st.
Fab.
Ever since I saw the Balto film when I was about 4, I fell in love and have been one of Balto's biggest fans!
They are great! The first one was the best, the second one wasn't so good, and the third one was okay. Still, I loved them all and I wish Disney would make the first one into a Special Edition DVD like it did for most of its other Disney movies.
Balto never get's old...it will always be a treasure to the heart
Balto films are great. My favourite is the first movie but others are good, too. My favourite characters are Balto and Steele. I hope that there will be Balto 4 in future.
it is ok
they are so cool!
c'est tres émouvant jadore ce dessin animé
I love the Balto films,they are excellent family movies, and a special edition would just make the trilogy better.
i LOVE them
Balto is an amazing show. One of the best cartoons/animated movies ever.
They are greta!But the color is off at some points,wich is why a lil toutch-up,some fun games,and clearer picture would make Balto alot better and more popular if there was a Speical Edition!
I believe the First Film was a masterpiece, even with the small budget overall, resulting in a few minor mistakes. The music was very strong, the character development makes Balto a role-model. The film is one of the best animated films, due to the storyline, and well crafted scenes. I'm also for re-creating the other two films, with stronger animation and new soundtracks. But that is less likely to happen. Universal Studios, please consider the large community of viewers, and hear our request.
Greeat awsome sooo cool!!!!!!11 I love them they are heart warming! spectacular!!
