Thats some deep shit there

[@strawberryfields9762]

Just rewatched this on Netflix, I used to LOVE it when I was little, (I had a huge thing for wolves when I was little) and when I rewatched it, it’s not that good as I dare remember, not at all😂😂😂

[@doubleflores8350]

Lauren F. That’s a little extreme.

[@PunkExMachina]

This could’ve been a decent movie if it wasn’t forcefully attached to ‘Balto’ u can tell someone wanted to tell an actual story in it. I loved this movie as a kid. This review had me dying laughing.

[@extrapathos]

Same, my standards are relatively low but I feel they've judged it a bit to harshly. It's a good story on it's own, although it can't compare to Balto. This is exactly like the Avatar: The Last Airbender vs Legend of Korra situation. The spinoff would've been a great show on it's own, if it hadn't been chained to it's incomparable predecessor.

[@arumikahaven]

I'm legit curious to see Critic's thoughts on Balto 3. Personally, I think the third film is actually better than the second.

[@sarahsteen1785]

Damn!!! Did you just reference Wolf’s Rain!! I’m so happy! I never took you as that kind of watcher.

Yes, reviewing Balto II, hope you review some of the Land Before Time sequels.

It doesn’t matter, Critic has reviewed movies that other reviewers have done. It’s all about if he make the review fun and get jokes out of it.

That'd be awesome

[@AndreNitroX]

Yes atleast the earlier ones were good ones

[@mrchuckmorris]

@@AndreNitroX I actually grew up with #3 on VHS alongside all the Disney classics and such... I watched it all the time til I turned maybe 8 or 9 and realized it wasn't the first movie in a series. Then I watched the first one, expecting something just as... happy... :'-(

[@mojavecourier6987]

He probably won't touch them. More so because they are beloved movies and that he probably can't get much jokes/content from them

[@erika_fuzzbottom]

14:25 That was totally an outtake left in.

[@bluelfsuma]

Weird, I just had an epiphany. You're making all these jokes about how Balto's sleeping through most his kids' lives, but... that's literally what _my_ dad does.

[@samuraifighterchick1456]

Wow I can’t believe Balto snapped Thanos in half in Endgame, sorry to spoil for you all.

[@geardog24]

2:17 well now you got me thinking this is an Americanized version of Wolf's Rain. Which actually sounds better.

[@TheKabuto90]

I haven't even seen Wolf's Rain and only having a vague idea of what it's about it still sounds better.

[@KingExalted]

Wolf's Rain is also my favorite Zelda game

[@mattwolf7698]

Bizzarely this actually predates Wolf's Rain yet uses a similar font. Also Okami used a similar font for it's English release.

Ron M Wolf’s Rain is a classic anime! But the dub and sub are superb!
