Buried like a bone in a snowdrift, Balto never achieved the theatrical success it should have, but it's worth digging up. The film is structured on the true tale of a lead sled dog, Balto, that brought a diphtheria antitoxin to the small town of Nom… more »



[last lines]

Balto:
Jenna! [runs over to play with Jenna]

[A loud applause erupts from the humans and dogs]

Star:
Way to go, Balto!

Kaltag:
He has the most endurance, the most fidelity, the most intelligence--

Star:
They should build a statue of him! [flinches, thinking he'll be hit again]

Kaltag:
[smiles] You said it!

Star:
I did?

[The screen shows an overhead shot of the humans and dogs congratulating Balto, before panning up to the night sky, where the Northern Lights are shining. They form the silhouette of a wolf, which howls. The silhouette then turns into Blaze, shifting the film back to live-action. The elderly woman and her granddaughter have finally reached Balto's memorial]

Rosy's granddaughter:
This is it, Grandma! Blaze found it.

Grandma Rosy:
What does it say?

Rosy's granddaughter:
"Dedicated to the... indomable?"

Grandma Rosy:
"Indomitable."

Rosy's granddaughter:
"Indomitable spirit of the sled dogs."

Grandma Rosy:
"That relayed antitoxin 600 miles from Nenana to the relief of stricken Nome... in the winter of 1925."

Rosy's granddaughter:
"Endurance, fidelity, intelligence." Balto really did do all that, didn't he, Grandma?

Grandma Rosy:
Oh, yes, sweetheart. He really did. [places a musher's hat on her granddaughter's head] And today, they run the Iditarod Dog Race over the very path he and the others took.

Rosy's granddaughter:
Can Blaze do that too, Grandma? [Blaze briefly looks up, before dropping his head again]

Grandma Rosy:
Maybe. With practice. [Blaze proceeds to bark] A lot of practice. [laughs]

Rosy's granddaughter:
[walks Blaze away] Come on, Blaze. Come on! Mush!

[The elderly woman happily watches her granddaughter walk off, then gazes up at the statue with a contented sigh]

Grandma Rosy:
Thank you, Balto. I would've been lost without you.

Rosy's granddaughter:
Grandma Rosy! Grandma Rosy, come on!

[Grandma Rosy pleasantly walks off to join her granddaughter. The intro to "Reach for the Light" by Steve Winwood begins to play as Balto's statue stands proudly in the sunlight]
