Critic Reviews for Balto
All Critics (12) | Top Critics (4) | Fresh (6) | Rotten (6)
The love story is pure mush, not helped by the bland voice work done by Kevin Bacon as Balto and Bridget Fonda as dainty husky Jenna.
Brave dog saves kids in adequate fact-based film.
An Alaskan dog who gets a chance to demonstrate his courage and creativity on a mission of mercy.
Unassuming and enjoyable animated adventure.
Audience Reviews for Balto
Balto is a hugely under rated animated film. It was released at the same time as Toy Story and therefore overshadowed. But I preffered this film, I enjoyed it because it was funny and Bob Hoskins shows real enthusiasm to his character of the goose who is Balto's sidekick. Balto is one of the greatest hero's of an animated film and whilst watching you'll care about what he does next. I know you see a lot of animated films with the central character as an outcast but I will say Balto is the best of them all.
Super Reviewer
Yet another kids movie about a dog who's an outcast and ends up saving the day. It's not bad, but it's not great either.
Super Reviewer
A fantastic and very underrated animated film from the 90s with great voice acting, great animation, and some great drama.
