    The sequel to the "true story" of Balto certainly takes more liberties than the original. Let's see if it pays off in the end or if this is a sequel worth putting down. Nostalgia Critic takes a look at Balto II: Wolf Quest.

      It looks like the father so it must have the Wolf's traits whereas if it looks like the mother then it has the mothers traits. This was also done in Lady and the Tramp II: Scamps Adventure. Though in that case all the puppies that were female looked like the mother. Not one poor puppy to get confused for a female by look like it's mother.

      his review is biased because he doesn't seem to take in native American beliefs such as the spirit animals including those stories of the trickster in this case represented by the fox though that depiction might be a bit of fan service drawing the fox the way they did.

      It definitely isn't the American Indian stuff I'm mocking at least a teensy bit, however. But, speaking of this subject, I tend to get a lot more out of (regarding American Indian lore and cultures, etc.) certain movies like "Against a Crooked Sky", "Dances With Wolves", "Thunderheart", etc.
      What I'm mocking, is the feminism... (Not in the movie, but from...) But my laughter only goes so far in this regard, to be perfectly honest.
