Balto II - Wolf Quest [VHS]
As if becoming a new father isn't enough, Balto the half-wolf is puzzled  by a recurring nightmare involving a treacherous journey, some threatening  characters, and plenty of unanswered questions. Chalk it up to parenthood:  nightmare turns into reality when the last of his litter, whom no human will  adopt, learns the devastating truth about her mixed heritage and embarks on a  dangerousWolf Quest, with papa Balto hot on her trail. The result is 75  minutes of engrossing action, beautifully integrated songs, well-timed humor,  polished animation, and a refreshing tendency to surprise rather than shock. As  thoughtfully composed as the originalBalto(based on the true story of a  heroic Alaskan sled dog), this made-for-video sequel promises to be a deeply  satisfying selection for families with 3- to 8-year-olds.--Liane Thomas
