"I was so afraid you'd be like me. But you're not. You're more. You're what I should have been."
Universal Studios and the animation studio Amblimation (which had closed shortly after the first film) did not initially plan a sequel. However, the home video market of the early 2000s was booming. With the success of The Land Before Time sequels and An American Tail sequels, Universal Family & Home Entertainment decided to revisit Balto. The result was a quieter, more introspective adventure directed by Phil Weinstein, with a script by Dev Ross. balto 2
