[ Dog Barking ]
[ Panting ] It was here... someplace.
But we've already been past here !
[ Chuckles ] The trees have grown so big.
It's been so long since my last visit.
[ Sighs ] [ Dog Barks ]
Come on, Blaze.
Grandma, when was the last time you were here ?
[ Chuckles ] Years and years ago.
Way before you were born, sweetheart.
[ Blaze Barking ] Oh, look ! Blaze found a squirrel !
Now, just a minute. I'm trying to get my bearings.
Oh, there are so many paths here !
So easy to get turned around. Come on, darling.
Grandma, we're in the middle of nowhere.
[ Grandma Laughing ] We're right in the middle of New York City.
But you're gonna make yourself tired walking so long.
Nonsense. It hasn't been more than a quarter of an hour. Huh.
Not much further. Blaze is getting tired.
Oh, I see. [ Laughs ]
Grandma, what are we looking for, anyway ?
A memorial.
A me-what ?
[ Laughs ] A reminder of a wonderful story...
and a place very far away from here.
What place is that, Grandma ?
Nome, Alaska.
It's a small town almost on top of the world.
Hmm. Now, that really was in the middle of nowhere, sweetheart.
In the cold winter of 1 925...
it was snowing hard.
Back then, the fastest and most reliable way of getting around...
was with teams of dogs pulling long sleds.
Races were held every year...
to find out the best team.
[ Dogs Barking ] And the competition was very fierce.
[ Barking Continues ]
Giddap, boy! Hut-ya ! Hut-ya !
Hyah ! Hyah, hyah !
[ Panting ]
[ Musher Continues Shouting ]
- [ Dog Shouts ] - Heel ! Whoa ! Whoa !
- Whoa ! - Steele, we're not gonna make it !
[ Growls, Grunts ]
[ Musher ] Easy, now. Easy! Easy! Hold back, hold back, hold back.
[ Grunts, Snarls ]
[ Yelping ]
[ Panting, Barking ]
[ Yells ] Steele !
- Hah ! - Get in line! Get in line!
Mush ! Mush !
[ Man ] It's the three-mile marker.
[ Applause, Cheering ] [ Gasping, Squawking ]
Get your slobbery mouth off me ! Come on. Let's go, Boris.
We can cut around the back and catch the end of the race.
Oh, no. No, no, no, no. I'm a delicate country bird.
[ Whining ] I hate going into town.
Ah, come on. What's the worst that can happen ?
[ Boris Screaming ]
[ Muttering ] Please ! Bleh !
Why do I let you talk me into these things ?
[ Screaming ]
Aye. Aaaaah !
[ Squawks ] [ Man ] Huh ?
- What the-- - Yeah ?
[ Screams, Grunts ]
[ Screaming Continues ]
[ Laughs ]
Bring that back, you thief !
[ Muffled Quacking ]
You, put me down now, Mr. Golden Retriever.
Whatever you say, Boris.
Every time there's a race, you run around like you're in it.
Maybe one day I will be. Heel, boy!
Boris Goosetenov is no spring chicken ! Aaah !
[ Crashing ]
I'm no spring penguin, either.
It's cold ! [ Screams ]
[ Man ] Look! The two-mile mark!
Come on. We don't want to miss the finish.
Oh, that would be a tragedy !
[ Screams ] I was being sarcastic.
[ Man Chuckles ] Okay, you can open your eyes now.
Oh !
[ Giggling ]
I love these rudders ! I love this brush bow !
I love this sled ! Jenna,Jenna, you're lead dog !
Okay, just a minute. Come on, mush !
Then you'll need this.
A real musher's hat ! We're a real sled team now.
Mush ! Mr.Johanssen, the sled is beautiful.
We're very grateful. Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you !
Rosy's grateful too, huh ? Yeah, so I gather.
Watch this ! Coming, sweetheart.
I don't know, honey. I think we should've gotten her the dollhouse.
It's the one-mile marker ! Mush,Jenna, mush !
[ Jenna Barking ] Let's win this race !
Whoo ! I think she'll learn to like it.
Jenna, easy, girl. Whoa !
[ Boy ] Dad, I'm cold. Good morning,Jenna.
Oughta be a close race, don't ya think ?
Maybe even neck and neck.
Say something about her new collar before she gets whiplash.
Uh, Dixie, what a pretty collar. Is it new ?
What ? This old thing ? Yeah.
Do you think, um, Steele will notice ?
I'm afraid the only way Steele notices anyone is if they're wearing a mirror.
[ Man ] Watch that corner, son. They're coming !
[ Cheering ] [ Dogs Barking ]
[ Musher ] Come on, Steele!
[ Female Dog ] You can do it!
[ Girl ] Jenna ! Stay, girl.
[ Woman ] You can still do it !
[ Cheering Continues ]
Jenna ! Jenna. [ Laughing ] [ Barking ]
Bulldog. Come on, Steele !
[ Gasps ] Oh, no !
My hat !
Get that stray dog ! He's gonna ruin the race !
[ Mutters, Groans, Screams ]
Hey, out of my way, lobo.
[ Indistinct Shout ]
- [ Grunts, Snarls ] - [ Gasps ]
[ Dogs Barking ]
[ Shrieks ] When will you learn to stay on the sidelines ?
[ Indistinct Shouting ] Pwah !
[ Telegraph Beeping ]
To Juneau Daily Chronicle. Stop.
Steele wins first place of season. Stop. [ Groans ]
Three-time winner keeps golden collar. Stop.
Nome. Stop.
That Steele is some dog, huh, Morris ?
[ Rhythmic Grunting ]
[ Cheering Continues ] Congratulations, there, boss, there.
It was a pleasure runnin' behind yous. Of course, the view got monotonous.
You are the most amazing, most exalted, most preeminent, most top-drawer--
You won ! [ Laughing ] [ Growling ]
Hmm, I don't know. Do you think maybe Steele's losing his edge ?
Yeah, looks like just about any dog could outrun him.
[ Snarling ] [ Girl ] Balto !
What a crazy thing to do, just to show off to a pretty girl.
I'm sure Jenna would love to have you on her team.
Hey, hey ! Rosy, stay away from him ! Dad !
He might bite you, honey. He's part wolf.
Oh, now you've hurt his feelings.
[ Laughing ] Come on, now.
Congratulations and felicitations, Steele.
Ladies. [ Shuddering ]
Hi there,Jenna. Enjoy the race ?
Yeah. Almost as much as you did.
Thanks. Jenna, let's go celebrate.
I know where all the bones are buried.
I don't know, Steele. Suddenly I've lost my appetite.
Ohh.
Well, maybe your taste runs more toward... wolf.
Jenna, come on, girl. We're going back home.
Sorry, Steele. My girl is calling me.
On the other hand...
my girl is away at boarding school.
[ Groans, Belches ]
Whoo ! Oh ! Oh !
[ Gasping, Sighing ]
[ Rosy ] Jenna ! Huh ?
Jenna !
Oooh.
[ Nervous Chuckle ]
Jenna, I, uh--
Jenna ! Jen, come on !
[ Man ] Jenna ! Come here, girl.
[ Sighs ]
Balto, there's some things I can't do for you.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm goose, not Cupid.
Didn't make the team, Bingo ?
Don't listen to him. Don't look at him. Live a long life.
My name's Balto. But you can call him "idiot."
I'm sorry. Balto. Balto the half-breed. [ Dogs Laughing ]
Frail goose, you a half-breed too, huh ?
Oh. Ahh-ha ! Part turkey ?
Good wordplay there, boss.
You are the wittiest, the quickest. Yeah.
You are the drollest, the cleverest, the sharpest. Yeah.
You are the most "hilariousest." You crack me up.
[ Hysterical Laughing ] Whoopee !
Steele, just leave him out of this. [ Dogs Taunting ]
Oh, Balto, I've got a message for your mother.
[ Howling ] [ Laughter ]
[ All Howling ]
Hey, Balto, translate this for me, will ya ? [ Howling ]
What's Wolf for "go chase your tail"? Balto, stop !
- Whoa ! - [ Howling Continues ]
Oh. Uh-oh. Get him.
[ Barking, Snarling ]
Get outta here, wolf dog. You better get back to your pack.
Maybe it's the unrelenting fear talking, but I'm seeing wisdom in this advice.
- Maybe we go now, huh ? Now ! - [ All Laughing ]
I'm thinking Balto's friend's got his feathers ruffled.
That gets your goose! I get it! [ Laughing Continues ]
[ Grunts ]
Half-wolf in the side pocket there. [ Laughing ]
That was the most dead center, the most on target, the most down the middle--
Ya hit him ! [ Laughs ]
[ Grunts, Groans ]
[ Laughs ]
That son of a-- He is the most malicious, the most disgusting,
the most obnoxious, revolting, repulsive and the most-- Yeah.
He's no lap dog. [ Laughs, Gasps ]
[ Groaning ]
[ Balto Sniffing ]
[ Howling ]
Hmm.
[ Sighs ]
[ Boris Thinking ] Not a dog, not a wolf.
All he knows is what he is not.
If only he could see what he is.
[ Sighing ]
[ Snaps Fingers ]
[ Grunts, Chomping ]
[ Squawks, Slurping ]
Hmm.
[ Toy Squeaking ]
[ Toy Crashes ]
Hey ! Hey ! ## [ Loud March ]
Hey ! [ Music Stops ]
[ Both Sigh ]
[ Birds Squawking ]
Homesick, Boris ?
Do you ever think about going back ? Don't fret, Fido.
I'm sticking here until I'm sure you can stand on own four feet.
You're taking care of me ? Don't thank me.
[ Chuckles, Sniffs ] I smell... herring.
The herring are flying south too.
Say, must be Muk and Luk.
Ah ! Good news !
Uncle Boris! Oh, no.
How sweet. Uncle Boris.
No hugging ! No licking !
Uncle Boris!
[ Shuddering, Gasps ]
Whew. [ Sputtering ]
He says he's glad to see us. [ Screaming ]
We love you, Uncle Boris.
[ Screams, Muttering ]
[ Whimpering ] [ Grumbling, Muttering ]
[ Whimpers ]
Oh, dear boy. [ Whimpering ]
What are you talking about ? Of course he's glad to see us.
He loves us. Don't you ?
Aye, okay, okay. Hey, boy chicks !
Let's play a game. Yes, please, Uncle Boris.
Race you to the shore. One, two, three, go !
- Yeah ! - They win.
[ Splash ] Help ! Help ! I can't swim !
[ Gasping ] Help, help ! We're drowning! We're drowning! Save us!
Bears ! Fellas ! Idiot balls of fluff !
Easy, Boris. You know how they are. Muk ! Luk !
Relax! Hey, you're okay! You're not drowning.
[ Gasps ]
He has point, bears. You're not drowning, because...
if you both were normal, you will observe, perhaps...
tide is out !
- [ Whimpers ] - He said what ?
"Oh, the shame of the polar bear who fears the water !
"No wonder we are shunned by our fellow bear.
Woe is us !"
That's what he said. Kind of pathetic, really.
What, more whimpering ? Between you and Balto, it's like Dostoyevsky novel around here.
Lighten up.
And what is so interesting ?
Jenna. It's love.
So go make move.
When the angels' balalaikas strum the sweet song of love...
mambo !
## [ Mambo ] Nah, she's not my type.
Any why not ? This wolf business again ?
And what's wrong with being half and half, I'd like to know.
Sometimes I wish like crazy I was half eagle.
- Why ? - Better profile, for one thing.
Hmm, and no one eats you, for another.
[ Coughing ]
[ Coughing Continues ] You're all right now.
Jenna ?
[ Barking ] Jenna !
Jenna ! Hi, girl!
- [ Barking Continues ] - [ Rosy Laughing ]
[ Coughing ]
[ Whimpers ]
Rosy ! Rosy, come on. You're gonna catch your death out here.
Okay, Dad. Come on, honey. The doctor's waiting.
[ Rosy Coughing ]
[ Chattering, Coughing ]
[ Rosy Coughing ]
Jenna ? [ Clears Throat ]
Uh,Jenna. Balto. Hi.
Hi.
Look, uh... just a shot in the dark,
but I-I was wondering if, uh-- I don't know,
maybe you'd like to go chase a few sticks by moonlight.
[ Chuckles, Sighs ]
[ Sniffles ]
Jenna ?
Rosy's in there. In the hospital. Why ?
She feels warm. She has a terrible cough.
[ Wheezing ]
Balto, what's wrong with her ?
Huh. I'm not sure, but I know how to find out. Come on.
I have the keys to the city.
After you.
Balto ! [ Chuckles ]
Big paws kinda run in my family.
At least one side of my family.
Stay close. [ Mouse Squeaking ]
No problem there.
It's so gloomy down here.
Not that I'm scared or anything. [ Gasps ]
Gloomy ? You kidding ? It's the most beautiful spot in the world.
Dogs travel for years just to be right here.
Here ? I can't see why.
That's 'cause you're looking at the bowl half empty.
See this ? It's the polar ice caps.
Balto, those are broken bottles.
And they're not half empty, they're all empty.
- The sun. - Ahh, Balto.
And... to the north--
[ Gasps ] The Northern Lights !
Ohh !
Oh, Balto, you're right. It's beautiful.
Yeah. Beautiful.
[ Footsteps Approaching ]
[ Doctor ] Good night, Rosy.
[ Rosy ] I'm so cold. Well, I have another blanket for you right here.
You stay warm and get some rest.
[ Rosy Coughing ]
Doctor, how is she ?
Exhausted from coughing. Her fever's getting worse.
[ Gasps ] Looks like diphtheria.
[ Sighs ] She's the 1 8th case this week.
[ Sighs ] And I'm out of antitoxin.
- [Jenna Whimpering ] -Jenna ?
Jenna, I'm sorry. I-- Jenna, I--
I didn't mean to upset you. I shouldn't have taken you down there.
No. I'm glad you did.
[ Crashing ] Steele !
[ Clears Throat ] Well, well, what's wrong with this picture ?
Jenna, join me for dinner. You start at one end, I'll start at the other,
and when we get to the middle, well... you tell me. [ Laughs ]
All right, Steele. [ Grunts ] No, Balto.
[ Seductive Laugh ] [ Chuckles ]
Gee, Steele...
I have to admit your offer is very tempting.
It is ? [ Chuckles ]
These days, I prefer my meat... cooked.
[ Sniffs, Screaming ]
Come on ! Let's go !
[ Snarling ] [ Man ] What's all the noise ?
[ Man #2 ] I think it's over here.
Huh ? Jenna, come on.
[ Growls ]
- [ Gasps ] - Looks like Balto's found his way into your meat locker.
It's a good thing Steele was here. Good boy, Steele. You've earned these.
Besides, I can't do anything with them after that wild animal's touched them.
Go on ! Get out of here, you thief ! Come on,Jenna, let's go home.
[ Panting ]
[ Telegraph Beeping ]
Anchorage. Stop. Repeat, urgent request.
More diphtheria antitoxin. Stop.
Nome in grave danger. Stop.
Please help. Stop.
[ Bell Ringing ]
[ Man ] Nome, pack ice closing in.
Cannot ship antitoxin by sea.
We'll try by air.
Nome, storm at airport.
Planes grounded until storm clears.
Many regrets.
From Juneau, office of the governor.
We are shipping antitoxin by rail. Stop.
Train line ends at town of Nenana. Stop.
[ Whistle Blows ] Select fastest dogs for sled team...
to carry antitoxin from Nenana to Nome. Stop.
God willing, train will make it through. Stop.
Select the fastest dogs for the sled team...
to fetch the antitoxin.
[ Barking, Snarling ] The race will run the length-- [ Continues, Indistinct ]
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
Just look at him. He's gonna save the entire town.
He's positively "magnesium."
It's not exactly a one-dog show, Dixie.
They're racing to see who's gonna be on the dogsled team.
What's with you,Jenna ? Steele's a genuine hero.
But do you give him a sniff?
That's because Jenna is running with Balto.
[ Shrieks ] She was seen in the boiler room the other night with Balto.
[ Gasps ] And they went in together, and they left together.
And I heard it all from a very reliable source.
And don't bother to deny it. Well, then I won't.
[ Gasps ] I'm speechless.
All mushers, get your dogs ready !
The race is about to begin !
Balto, racing is a spectator sport.
It requires very little preparation.
[ Quacks, Sighs ]
You sit, you arrange refreshments. Do you like potato chip ?
[ Chewing, Gulps ]
I'm not watching the race, I'm running it.
[ Gasps, Spits ] You said what ?
Hey, look, I'm gonna help Rosy get better.
I can get that medicine through. [ Panting ]
First of all, get it through your head...
that they wouldn't put you in a sled team even if you did win, which won't happen.
And if it did, it wouldn't matter !
Boris, did you ever think maybe you're the reason the other geese fly south ?
If only your feet were as fast as your mouth. [ Whistle Blows ]
Hey ! They're starting. [ Man ] Dogs to the line!
Wish me luck. Luck ?
I don't wish you luck ! I wish you sense !
Good luck, kiddo.
You-- Balto ? What, are you nuts ?
If Steele catches you, he's gonna turn you into kibble.
Let us let the half-dog run. It will be fun making him eat our snow.
Get set ! [ Gun Fires ]
Balto ? What does he think he's doing ?
[ Grunting ]
Oh, Balto, come on, come on.
Balto, go !
[ Barking Continues ]
- [ Groaning ] - [ Laughing ]
Hey ! That's a foul ! Where's the referee ? He's blind ?
- [ Groaning ] - [ Barking Continues ]
[ Straining ] Go, Balto, go ! Jump, jump, jump !
That's... my boy ! [ Laughing ]
Go, Balto !
[ Boris ] Balto, where are you going ? That's the wrong way.
Balto, get back in the race!
- Huh ? - Sorry.
Who's eating whose snow now, mutt ?
[ Crowd Cheering ]
Time ! What ?
[ Laughing ] Did I teach him well ! I could kiss that crazy pooch.
[Jenna Barking ]
Okay, Nikki, Kaltag, Star, move it. We're strapping up.
Hey, now, just a second here, Steele.
I was the fastest dog.
You were the fastest... what ?
Do you honestly think any musher would ever put you on his team ?
You're even more mixed up than I thought.
Steele, it doesn't matter who's on the team.
So long as the medicine gets through. Stop being such a glory hound.
You're a hundred percent right,Jenna.
I, I wasn't thinking about those children.
The important thing here is to get the medicine through,
and that's just what I'm gonna do.
And when I come back, I'm gonna fold you five ways...
and leave you for a cat toy.
[ Man ] Good dog, Steele! [ Barking ]
Good boy. Now let's take a look at our winner here.
- [ Growling ] - Let's take a look at our winner.
[ Loud Snarling ] Ah, we can't trust this one.
He's part wolf.
See those teeth ? He might turn on me.
Nikki, Kaltag, Star ! Let's go !
[ Snickering ]
[ Dogs Barking ]
Balto, I'm sorry.
Better not talk to me,Jenna. I might turn on you.
Balto, wait. Balto !
[ Strikes Match ] Yep.
As long as there's hope for those kids, I'll keep this lit.
It'll guide the team back.
[ Dogs Barking ] Easy, easy. Back, back.
[ Barking Continues ]
[ Chattering ]
Star, Steele! Giddap !
Giddap ! Yeah !
[ Crowd Cheering ]
[ Dogs Barking, Howling ]
[ Train Whistle Blows ]
Easy. Easy with that. There.
Now, be sure you lash it down tight.
Giddap, team ! Giddap !
Take care now, ya hear !
[ Conductor ] Board! Get on, boy ! Go on, move along, move along !
[ Grunting ] Come on !
Steele, maybe we should go back.
We're lost.
I am not lost !
Lost ? Did I say lost ? No, you didn't let me finish.
See, what I wanted to say was that I was gonna-- This way.
Aaaah !
[ Telegraph Beeping ]
[ Barking, Straining ]
It's terrible, my friends. Just terrible.
Steele and his team are lost. No !
Steele ! What do you mean, lost ?
They missed their second checkpoint.
They're off the trail. Can't they send another team ?
It's too dangerous for us, and our men.
What about them little ones ?
The medicine won't be here in time.
We're going to lose them.
Rosy.
[ Wheezing, Shuddering ]
Please, Doctor, it's the only medicine we got.
Okay.
[ Wheezing Continues ]
Jenna ?
[ Indistinct Tapping ]
[ Tapping Continues ]
[ Grunts ]
[ Gasps ]
Rosy.
Balto, please. Don't go crazy on me now.
Oooh ! This is foolishness.
You will die like a dog. What ? No offense.
[ Screams ]
[ Whimpers ]
[ Boris ] You will be frozen stiff by morning.
[ Gasps, Spits ] When you are big, frozen stiff statue named Balto,
[ Gasps ] don't come running to me !
[ Screaming ] [ Whimpers ]
Oh, dear. He says, "Where is he going ?"
He's going into freezing coldness to find a dog he doesn't like...
to bring medicine back to a town that doesn't like him !
Oh, no ! I'm beginning to understand the bear !
[ Whimpering ] Yes !
[ Indistinct ] Bears ! Dogs !
[ Muffled Shouting ] Balto ! Balto ! Balto !
[ Muffled Shouting Continues ]
No brains at all ! Might as well be talking to shoe... lace.
[ Wheezing ]
[ Coughing ]
So, let's go get the medicine.
Wait a minute. Now you're coming ?
Spending days in bitter cold, facing wild animals !
Risking death from exposure !
[ Chuckles ] It's like holiday in old country.
[ Muk ] Wow ! Luk, we're going on holiday !
[ Coughing, Wheezing ]
[ Sighs ]
[ Sobbing ]
Balto.
Good, Balto ! You took on the roughest, toughest, meanest tree in the forest!
And you won. Hey. I'm marking the trail.
Huh ? He's marking our trail. He's very clever.
And here I've been dropping bread crumbs. Eesh !
[ Muk ] I spy with my little eye...
something beginning with "S."
[ Voice Echoing ]
[ Moose Braying ]
[ Sniffing ] Steele.
[ Sniffing ]
Ohhh !
Hey ! Bears !
Come on.
Steele and his team passed this way.
Boy, is he lost.
[ Musher ] Pull ! Pull !
[ Grunting, Panting ]
Steele ! We're going in circles !
What ! [ Shudders ]
Circles is a good thing. I mean, they're-- Yeah, circles.
They're circular. [ Nervous Chuckle ]
I know what I'm doing ! It's--
It's... this way ! Come on !
[ Whimpers, Screams ]
Whoa, team !
Whoa ! Whoa ! Whoa, Steele!
[ All Screaming ]
[ All Grunting ]
[ Screams, Grunts ]
[ Groaning, Sputtering ]
Oh, I hit my head on somethin'.
Yeah. My head !
Looks like he's hurt bad, Steele.
Wh-What are we gonna do now, Steele ?
[ Wind Howling ]
[ Squeaking ]
Oh, yes ! [ Whimpering ]
[ Laughing ]
Shhh-- Ugh !
Brilliant ! Right on the beak. What a bull's-eye !
[ Laughing ] [ Whimpering ]
[ Boris ] That did it! Who did that ?
[ Whimpering ] I-It was him.
[ Whimpering ]
[ Distant Growling ] [ Gasps ]
[ Growling Continues ]
Guys, I think-- [ Gasps ]
I think we should keep moving.
Is that your answer to all problems ? Motion ?
[ Bones Cracking ] [ Sighs, Quacks ]
[ Muttering ]
Luk, Muk, come on ! Let's get going.
"Come on, boys. Let's go, boys. Faster, boys."
Easy to say for a guy with four legs !
Okay, that's it ! [ Spitting ]
[ Shudders ] It's time for goose to kick a little bear butt !
- [ Both Shuddering ] - Aha ! Finally !
You're all done, 'cause Boris is making an impression !
Now what ?
[ Growling ] [ Gulps ]
[ Growling Continues ]
- [ Gasps ] - [ Screaming ]
- [ Muffled Shouting ] - [ Both Screaming ]
- [ Growls ] - [ Grunts ]
Help !
[ Growling Continues ]
[ Balto Snarling ]
[ Yells, Grunts ]
[ Grunting Continues ]
[Jenna Yells ]
[ Roaring ]
Jenna ?
[ Grunts, Groans ]
[ Yells ]
[ Whimpering, Screaming ]
[ Roaring Continues ]
[ Jenna Screams, Grunts ]
[ Screaming ]
[ Roaring Continues ]
Balto !
[ Gasping ]
[ Roaring Continues ]
Balto ! Balto !
- [ Screaming ] - Balto !
No ! No !
[ Gasps ] [ Muk ] Geronimo !
## [ Imitating Horn ]
Luk ! Muk !
They cannot swim !
What ? Polar bears who can't swim ?
[ Sputtering ]
[ Sucking Air ]
He's drowning ! No !
[ Grunts ] Well ?
[ Sneezes ] I don't see them.
Where are they ?
[ Ice Cracking ]
Muk ! Muk ! Luk ! [ Laughing ]
Muk ! Muk ! Ohh !
- Ohh, cold ! - Oh ! Oooh ! Oooh !
[ Mutters, Screams ]
[ Gasps, Spits ]
Come to life, come to life. Breathe ! Come on, breathe.
Oh, is he gonna be okay ? 'Cause he's not breathing.
He doesn't look very well. Stop hitting him, Uncle Boris.
[ Gasping ]
Balto, I was so scared. I got people bumps.
[ Coughing ]
Boris... [ Coughing ]
I know you think this trip is crazy,
but... I'm glad you came.
Who else should you bring on a wild goose chase but a goose, huh ?
Are you okay,Jen-- Are you okay ?
[ Laughs ] I'm fine.
Look, a message came through. We have to take the mountain trail.
But if we take Eagle Pass, it'll save us half a day.
It's blocked. The mountain trail is dangerous, but we can do it.
I'm beginning to see there isn't anything you can't do.
I'm seeing a few things too, and it's making the ice melt.
[ Loud Whimpering ] I hate bears !
You two guys ought to learn how to swim someday. You'd be very good at it.
[ Whimpering ]
Yes, of course we were. We were in the water. We were moving.
We got wet, didn't we ? We--
Luk, we were swimming !
[ Laughing ]
[ Gasps ] Clumsy.
No, you're not. You're hurt. No, I'm fine.
[ Yelps, Panting ]
Oh, maybe I'm not so fine.
You should all go ahead without me. Jenna.
No, no. I'll be slowing everyone down.
And Rosy can't hold out much longer.
Muk, you and Luk carry Jenna back to town on this.
And this time, don't take time out for a swim. [ Chuckling ]
You can make sure of that, Boris. You're gonna lead them home.
Aye. Just follow my marks.
You're going on alone ? Won't be the first time.
Oh, here. I'm afraid it won't keep you very warm.
Yeah, it will.
[ Luk Whimpering ]
Well, of course Balto will come back.
He's Balto, isn't he ?
Hey, I'm coming back... with the medicine.
I promise,Jenna. Go ahead, guys. Take her home.
Balto, I do not like leaving you out here alone.
Who's going to tell you how cold you are ?
Boris... they need you even more than I do.
Let me tell you something, Balto.
A dog cannot make this journey alone.
But maybe a wolf can.
[ Groans ] Right!
You two balls of fluff ! Let's move !
Back, two, three, four! Back, two, three, four! [ Telegraph Beeping ]
Nome. Stop.
Cannot send more antitoxin. Stop.
Weather too severe. Stop.
Lost sled team-- only hope. Stop.
Our prayers are with them.
Anchorage. Stop.
[ Sniffing ]
Steele.
[ Gasps ]
- Balto ! - Is that Balto ?
- Balto, how did you find us ? - Is anyone hurt ?
Everyone is fine.
Yeah, but our musher hit his head... and he didn't get up.
And he's not movin'. All right, follow me. I can lead you home.
We don't need your help !
M-Maybe we should listen to him. [ Snarls ]
Well, how would yous get us home, then ?
Well, I, I marked the trail. Like this.
Oh, yeah. I'll get us back.
I'm the lead dog. I'm in charge.
Then let me take back the medicine.
They're getting sicker.
[ Snarling ] Touch that box...
and I'll tear you apart.
Two bones says Steele takes him. You're on.
[ Dogs Chattering ]
Steele, I'm not leaving without that medicine.
Who do you think you are ?
Hey, this is gonna be good.
Since-- Since when do you need a pedigree to help someone ?
[ Snarling ] Steele, let me help you.
Look at his eyes! Look at his eyes! [ Snickering ]
[ Snarling Continues ]
- [ Groans ] - He'll feel that tomorrow.
I think he is feeling it now. Ouch.
[ Chattering ]
I don't want to fight.
[ Snarling Continues ]
Oh, that can't be legal ! Yeah !
[ Groaning ]
[ Snarls ]
Hey, that stuff is fragile there!
What's with Steele ? All Balto wants to do is help.
[ Gasps, Screams ]
[ Groans ]
[ Snickering ] Okay.
[ Gasps ] Look !
[ Grunting ]
[ Snarling ]
[ Screaming ]
[ Groaning ]
Good boy. [ Groans ]
[ Panting ]
[ Musher Shouts ] [ Dogs Barking ]
Go ahead, wolf dog. You'll never get home.
I'll make sure of that.
I'll show him.
Why not this way ? How about over here ?
No, that's the wrong way. [ Snickering ]
Oh, no.
Which way, Balto ? Which way ? Which way ?
Uh... this way.
[ Barking ]
[ All Grunting ]
Balto, why are you taking us in circles ?
I'm not ! I mean... I don't know. It's Steele.
Maybe we was better off with him there.
No ! Come on ! Mush !
[ Barking ]
Balto, slow down ! [ Muttering ]
Hey, hey ! You're goin' too fast !
The moun-- The moun--
[ All Screaming ]
- Look out ! - Huh ?
All right !
Good catch, Balto !
[ Balto Screaming ]
I don't get it. How could Balto hope to find Steele and his team ?
- They were off the trail. - Well, he's tracking them.
That mutt ! Tracking a championship team in a blizzard !
[ All Laughing ]
[ Door Opens ] [ All Gasp ]
- Balto ? - Steele! Steele's alive!
You're back ! Where ya been ?
Are ya okay ?
Steele, where are the others ?
Yeah, what happened to the others ?
[ Panting ] Well, one by one they fell.
Frozen, barely alive.
I-I pulled four onto the sled.
Three more on my back.
And I, I walked... and I walked...
but it was just-- it was too late.
Ohhh. They were--
- What about the medicine ? - [ All Agreeing ] Yeah.
Uh... I-I went on...
dragging the medicine alone.
All alone.
And then suddenly... that wolf dog appeared.
Balto.
He demanded I let him take the medicine.
You know, he, he just wanted so much...
to be a hero in your eyes.
And he grabbed the crate...
but he couldn't handle it.
He-He couldn't see the patch of ice,
the snow, the wind and then the log.
And the cliff ! Well, he just didn't have a chance.
[ Sobbing ] It's-- I'm sorry.
And then...
[ Gasps ] My bandana.
he made me promise to take care of you,Jenna.
Ohhh.
- You're lying. - [ All Gasping ]
Steele's lying. Balto's alive.
[ Murmuring ] He's coming home.
Uh... well, you know, she needs a little time.
[ Murmurs Of Agreement ]

A dog cannot make this journey alone.
But maybe a wolf can.
[ Howling ]
[ Howling Continues ]
[ Both Howling ]
[ Shivering ]
[ Howling Continues ]
- [ All Gasp ] - Oh, great.
Things are not bad enough. Now we got wolves.
[ Together ] Wolves ! [ Whimpering ]
- Hey, hey ! Hey, over here ! - What ? What is it ?
Balto ? A-And he's got the medicine.
[ Kaltag ] Come on, Balto ! Yous can make it!
[ Grunts, Gasps ]
That's the most amazing-- The most fantastic-- Yeah !
That is the most incredible-- That's the most phenomenal-- Yeah !
I-I never-- That's good ! Oh !
Hey, he has got the feet of a wolf there.
- Balto, come on. - That's it.
Come on, Balto. Keep trying. Come on.
That's it. You got it. [ All Chattering At Once ]
[ Chattering Continues ] Yeah !
You got it. You're almost there ! Go, Balto.
Come on ! Do it now, man ! Come on, Balto !
Let's go ! Yes ! Yes !
That's it ! That's it !
[ Excited Chattering ]
[ Cheering ] You did it !
Congratulations ! That was great ! I couldn't have done that.

[ Indistinct Chattering ]
[ Grunting, Barking ]
[ Grunts ]
'Course, as you know, I just--
I swam and I swam. I was freezing cold. [ Giggles ]
And then--
Then, finally, I just said, "Steele,
you just have to gnaw your way to the surface."
So I-- What ? [ Balto Howling, Door Opens ]
It's Balto... with the medicine. [ All Gasping ]
[ Nervous Chuckle ] Oh !
Steele, you are positively "disposable" !
[ Grunts ] Huh ?
[ All Growling ]
Okay, okay. I can explain.
Tell me about it ! See, you guys weren't there.
So you don't-- Wait a minute. Guys. Wait just a second.
Please ?
[ Excited Chattering, Cheering ]
[ Laughing ]
Steady, steady. Easy now. That's had a long journey.
[ Man ] How is he ? He's gonna be okay.
Good dog, Balto !
Dear, dear boy. [ Chattering ]
That's a good boy !
[ Laughing ] Not dog, not wolf !
You're a hero !
[ Muk ] Balto ! [ Whimpers ]
[ Yells ] [ Chuckling, Whimpering ]
Come on, boy. There's someone wants to see you.
[ Cheering, Applauding ]
[ Moaning Continues ]
Mommy ?
Rosy, darling. Oh, I fell asleep.
Rosy.
Balto.
I'd be lost without you.
[Jenna Clears Throat ]
Jenna.
[ Panting, Barking ]
[ Cheering ]
Way to go, Balto !
He has the most endurance, the most fidelity, intelligence-- Yeah ! Yeah !
They should build a statue of him ! [ Whimpers ]
You said it ! I did ?
[ Cheering, Applauding Continue ]
[ Howling ]
This is it, Grandma. Blaze found it !
[ Panting ] Oh. Yes.
Ah.
[ Blaze Barks ]
[ Grandma Rosy ] What does it say ?
"Dedicated to the 'indomible' "--
Indomitable. [ Chuckles ] "'Indomible' spirit...
of the sled dogs--"
"That relayed antitoxin...
"600 miles from Nenana to the relief of stricken Nome...
in the winter of 1 925."
[ Sylvie ] "Endurance, fidelity, intelligence. "
[ Chuckles ] Balto really did do all of that, didn't he, Grandma ?
Oh, yes, sweetheart. He really did.
And today they run the dog race...
over the very path he and the others took.
[ Sniffing ] Can Blaze do that too, Grandma ?
Maybe, with practice.
[ Blaze Barking ]
A lot of practice. [ Barking Continues ]
Come on, Blaze. Come on. Mush !
Thank you, Balto.
I would have been lost without you.
Grandma Rosy!
Grandma Rosy, come on !
