Touches You

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Back in 1995, we were given the animated film, "Balto". It was one of my favorite movie's as a kid and it developed a cult following. In 2002, we were given, "Balto: Wolf Quest", a bad DTV sequel.The thing's I liked about this film was the hand-drawn animation, even though it's DTV, it was still good. David Carradine does a good job as the the Wolf Shaman, Nava. I also thought, Maurice LaMarche did a decent job as Balto. He wasn't as good as when Kevin Bacon did the voice of him in the first one, but he was still good.The thing's I didn't like about this film is that the CGI animation was terrible. It look's like it came from a video game. Lacey Chabert was pretty bad as Aleu. She sound's like an eight-year old. Also, the villain Niju was really weak. I liked Mark Hamil as the Joker in, "Batman: Arkham Asylum", but seeing him in this movie is just lame. Why not have Steele from the first movie be in this one? Also, we don't get to see that much of Jenna, Boris, Muk or Luk. Not only it had bad CGI animation and a weak villain, but the movie had singing. The song's aren't even that good.In the end, "Balto: Wolf Quest", is a bad sequel that's not worth watching. Fan's of the first film might enjoy it but for everyone else, no.

At first,I was very excited to see this movie,and of course I thought it would be good.But the singing mouse,spirit guides crap,and disappearing and reappearing characters ruined it.I noticed that the background wolves look better than Nava(looks like a mutt w/beard and eyebrows),Niju(looks like he has an abscess on his jaw),the trio of wolves(just plain ugly).And Jenna looked like a drug addict,Balto looked really old and tired,and Alue is pretty dumb.If they'd not had the end where the mouse pops up and howled w/the wolves,the movie would already be a little better..Boris shouldn't have even been shown(He's so annoying)and he sounded Jewish.Muk and Luk weren't cute,but annoying.And there wasn't Steele or anyone.All-in-all,WQ should have never been.

read!!!may contain spoilers may not depends what you call spoilers read at own risk if you care about spoilers!!! This was an awesome movie about balto and i must say if you hate this movie then your standards are to high.it does have some flaws but it has an excellent plot a little slow maybe the artistry is awesome to my opinion and i like how Ainu looks in this one it could have been drawn better but warmer climate= less fur. if you were a fan of balto then you may have doubts with this but if you just are a fan of movies you'll love this. its about baltos daughter and how she finds out about her heritage and runs away balto must find her (an adventure in itself) and get her back home. i live in America and must wait another month before balto 3 comes out. :'( only bad thing is Jeanna does not have enough air time and the other pups don't really have anything to do with the story o well i g2g watch this movie it has awesome music.

Of course, Balto 2 is nothing like the original; like most animated DTV sequels, it has been made with a low budget, so don't expect it to be as good as the original was. However, I think it's still a good sequel : the story is fine (if not compared to the first), the backgrounds are beautiful, and the musics are excellent in several scenes. Usually I hate the songs from those DTV sequels, but here they aren't annoying and even worth listening. The only bad point I would give is the animation itself, which is really bad in a few scenes and looks more like a TV show (ie the bear scene...), but as I said it is often the case with DTV sequels. Also, the characters look and act a bit differently from the first. But from a general point of view, it's still an enjoyable quest, and I think it could have been much worse...So, a good direct-to-video, perhaps one of the best, but not at the level of the original. If you liked the first Balto, then you should at least rent B2. And if you don't like this sequel, then wait for the third Balto, which (from everything I heard, like the return of the original writers) will be a lot better, and will stick more to the original!
