Balto III - Wings of Change
Sled dog Balto may have retired in this second sequel toBalto, but our hero's sense of compassion and keen  intellect have not diminished with time.  When a new flying machine makes  an appearance in the small Alaskan towns of Nome and White Mountain, it  looks as if Kodi (Balto's son who is now a sled dog in his own right); the  rest of the dog team, and their human Mushers will shortly be stripped of  their duties as mail carriers.  Refusing to be dismissed without a fight,  the dogs and their Mushers challenge pilot Duke to a race and call Balto  out of retirement to lead the team.  When bad weather causes unexpected  problems for the plane, it's up to the wise and courageous Balto to save  Duke from certain death.  An amusing sub-plot features Boris, a snow goose  who's afraid of heights, and Stella, a seductress goose who's bent on  winning Boris's affection.  Voice talent featured in this 79-minute, animated program includes Sean Astin, Jean Smart, Keith Carradine, Kathy  Najimy, and David Paymer. (Ages 3 to 10)--Tami Horiuchi
