Balto -- Uneven animated adventure about an outcast dog (voice of Kevin Bacon) who gets through an Alaskan blizzard in the winter of 1925 with the antitoxin needed to save snowbound Nome from a diptheria epidemic. Directed by Simon Wells, the animation is more imaginative than the formula characters in a story which starts slowly, then becomes a series of thrills as Balto overcomes the perils of the frozen wilderness and a nasty canine rival. (A-I)(G) 1995
