Mmm, I didn't expect this...I'm the Balto Source admin, I sometimes check this forum to find some information about Universal's actings and projects.
If you ask me, Disney does a better job when they re-release a classic movie. They not only upgrade the quality, but they also give a VERY nice amount of bonus features that are quite enjoyable. smile.gif
Universal really needs to get their act together if they hope to beat their toughest competition. smile.gif
You just don't know how much it's true...Universal is just very lazy and only does the minimum. They don't want to take ANY risk, hence the low budget for the sequels and all their animated productions, including the DVDs.
They only care about the franchises that earn money (= Land before time), and even in that case they don't make any real effort.
In fact, this DVD pack is the ONLY thing they did for the Balto franchise since 2004...It's a good step, but still just a repackaging of the current DVDs.
They made two sequels for Balto, but did not make any effort to promote them (no merchandise, no soundtrack, no advertisement, no video game, absolutely nothing...)
They didn't make any merchandise for Balto since the release of the film in theaters, 12 years ago.
I could go on longer like this, but it would be easier to read this article I had written :
