Balto: Wolf Quest

Synopsis: Half wolf Balto has a litter with his full husky wife. Most puppies resemble her and are easily adopted by the Wild West villagers. Only one daughter, which has his lupine traits, must be raised by them and devoted goose Boris. She also proves a free-spirited rebel, drawn to the wild. Balto spares no effort to protect his stubborn, near-adult pup, which leads to both of them confronting and joining wise old 'wolf shaman' Nava's troop, which needs to make hard choices, requiring a strapping younger leader.

[ Cawing Continues ]

[ Yelling ]

Balto, wake up!

[ Gasping ]

What? What?

What's the matter?

[ Yiddish Accent ]

The matter is,

you were having dream again.

Aah! Ugh!

So what if I was?

It's just a dream.

This "just a dream"

is keeping you from

a decent sleep.

And if your eyes get

any droopier,

you'll have to keep them

open with toothpicks.

Boris, they'll stop drooping

if you just go away

and let me get some rest.

Wrong! You won't be

getting rest--

not with that dream

hanging 'round like...

dark cloud.

[ Sighs ]

I hate it when you get dramatic.

How else to reach you?

I'm telling you, boychik,

if you keep having same dream

again and again.

it means something!

[ Grunts ]

Boris,

dreams don't mean anything,

they're just--

[ Yawns ]

dreams.

Now, you wanna come with me?

I have to go check on jenna.

Of course I come!

I'm not finished

nagging you yet!

So, if dreams mean nothing,

why does it always have raven

and pack of wolves, huh?

Why not pickled herring?

Because herring would be

in one of your dreams, not mine.

Precisely! Raven and wolves

have meaning only to you.

[Gasps ]

Balto, look!

On totem pole-

there is raven and wolf!

Calm down, Boris.

There's also a fox,

a wolverine-

Oy, such scary creatures!

They should only

live and be well...

far away from me.

And a bear and a caribou.

They're just wood carvings,

Boris.

Yes, I know, I know.

Humans use them

to tell stories.

But of what, I don't know.

Balto, maybe seeing raven

and wolf on totem pole...

is making you dream

something very important.

Well, like what?

Like something you forgot.

or maybe something

you are supposed to know.

Look, Boris, all I know is

that the totem pole marks

the shortcut to jenna's.

and that's good enough

for me.

Oh, boy!

Stubborn. Ach!

[ Yapping ]

[ Scottish Accent ]

Brrr! Oh!

There you are, laddies!

[Yapping]

I've been smelling all over

for you!

[ Continues Yapping ]

Would you stop with the bouncing

and make with the talking?

I'm getting dizzy!

[ Yapping, Panting ]

The stork has landed.

I repeat.

[ Yapping ]

the stork has landed!

jenna?jenna!

[ Yapping ]

What stork?

I thought we were

talking about raven.

Oh, boy. That stork.

I'm coming, Balto!

[ Continues Yapping ]

[ Sighs ]

- Hello, Balto.

- [ Gasps, Gulps ]

Well, come in.

They don't bite--

at least not yet.

[ Whimpering ]

Oh, jenna. They're--

they're so beautiful.

just like you.

[ Whimpering ]

And you.

Look at me!

I'm an uncle.

[ Yapping ]

[ Giggling ]

[ Laughing, Barking ]

[ Cawing ]

[ Continues Cawing ]

- Balto.

- jenna?

[ Continues Cawing ]

[Gasps ]

[ Panting ]

[ Sighs ]

Oh, I haven't had

that dream for a while.

Balto!

jenna?

Oh, no.

Good morning, sleepyhead.

Did you forget about

watching the pups today while

my girl and I go on a picnic?

What? Me? Forget?

[ Yawns ]

Never.

[ Barking, Laughing ]

Balto, you look so tired.

What's wrong?

Oh, nothing.

Hey, pups!

Good to see you too.

[ Laughing ]

Hey, watch it, now!

Come on. That tickles!

[ Growling, Barking ]

Say, why don't they spend the

night with me, and then tomorrow

we can all go on a picnic?

Balto, don't you remember?

Tomorrow is the day for our pups

to find their new homes.

Tomorrow?

But, jenna, they're-they're

only eight weeks old.

I mean, whats the hurry?

I know how you feel, Balto.

Puppy! Come to Uncle Boris!

[ Pups ]

Uncle Boris! Uncle Boris!

Oh, but it's their time now.

I was their age when I was

adopted by my girl.

But I - I don't think I can

let them go, jenna- not yet.

That's tickling me!

Ow! Ow! Ow!

[ Laughing ]

That's my wing!

Balto,

each of our children

have their own lives to live.

[ Boris Yelling ]

It's our job to love them

and then-

Let go!

If we wait until they're older,

it'll be harder for them

to find homes.

You know how humans have

a soft spot for puppies.

Yeah, and so do I.

Come on, Balto.

All their humans will be

from around here.

Oh! I've got to

go meet my girl now.

Enjoy them, Balto.

And watch out-

they're teething.

No kidding!

Come on now.

Uncle Boris isn't a chew toy.

[ All Barking ]

[ Growling ]

Hey, take it easy there,

tiger.

Oooh, oh!

[ Giggling ]

[ Mock Growling ]

Strange-- her brothers and

sisters look just like dogs.

yet Aleu looks just like--

A dog. Aleu looks

like a dog too.

[ Chuckling ]

Funny, but from where I stand,

I see daughter...

who looks even more wolf

than father.

Look, Boris,

I just don't want her to be...

different

But she is different!

And vive la difference!

[ Laughing ]

Come on.

Being different is painful.

Nobody knows that

better than me.

You know how some of the dogs

around here still tease me

because I'm half wolf?

.

Aleu may look like a wolf,

but she is going to be

all dog.

[ Howling ]

I wouldn't count on it.

Daddy, Daddy,

look at the puppies!

[ Howling ]

Aleu, honey, please

don't howl like that.

- [ Sighs ]

- Sorry, Mama.

It just happens

when I'm excited.

I'm excited too!

I can't wait to get a human...

and chew on their socks!

[ Giggles ]

Papa, are you gonna get

a human too?

Nah. See, humans like

cute little puppies like you.

not old grizzly grownups

like me.

These are Rosie's puppies,

Daddy. jenna had 'em.

[ Giggles]

I like this one.

I know that human.

He'll be a good boy for Dingo.

[ Puppies ]Bye! Bye-bye!

And my puppy can play with jenna

when Rosie and I play together.

Mommy, Mommy, look-- puppies!

[ Chuckling ]

Okay.

[ Woman ]

Somebody wants you

Somebody needs you

Someone is search ing

for our heart alone

Someone is dreaming

waiting and watching

Someone is coming

to take you home

Time, it will fly

like the sun through the sky

And what once was hello

Turns to good-bye

He's so cute!

Oh, I love you!

Tomorrow is here now

Sings in your ear now

Child of my heart

Your life is our own

Never you fear, now

Your path is clear now

Someone who loves you

Someone who loves you

Is taking you home

It's been a long day, jenna.

Let's go home.

But we can't. Well,

not until a human adopts Aleu.

Face it, jenna.

Aleu looks more like a wolf

than me

No human is

ever gonna want her.

That's not true!

We'll just

have to keep trying.

[Gasps ]

Hmm?

[ Snickers ]

[ Giggling ]

[ Both Chuckling ]

[ Both Scream ]

[ Whimpering ]

[ Panting ]

[ English Accent ] Right.

Who knew a game of hide-and-seek

could be so terrifyin'?

[ Snarling ]

[ Whimpering ]

[ Snarling ]

[ Whimpering ]

[ Screaming ]

[ Howling ]

[ Whimpering ]

Okay, okay already!

Knock off the rough housing!

[ Whining ]

Oh--

Aleu, how can I baby-sit

if you won't sit?

You don't sit now here

for more than five seconds!

That's "anywhere, "

Uncle Boris.

[ Chuckling ]

What's anywhere?

Don't try to confuse me,

young lady.

I'm your baby-sitter.

Uncle Boris,
