ProductionDirected by Simon Wells Produced by Steve Hickner Screenplay by Cliff Ruby, Elana Lesser, David Steven Cohen, Roger S. H. Schulman Story by Cliff Ruby, Elana Lesser Music by James Horner Cinematography Jan Richter-Friis Edited by Renee Edwards, Nick Fletcher, Sim Evan-Jones Production company Amblin Entertainment Amblimation Distributed by Universal Pictures Release date December 22, 1995 Running time 77 minutesReferencesThe real Balto was only a Siberian Husky. Universal's animators designed him to be partially an Arctic wolf in order to be a more interesting cinematic character. The real hero of the 1925 serum run was Togo. The twelve-year-old husky led his sled dog team through 260 miles of blowing Alaskan blizzard to deliver emergency diphtheria serum to Nome. Balto received most of the fame, because he led the final 55 miles. In 2019, Walt Disney Pictures produced Togo, an artistic adventure film, inspired by the same real facts. The seventh and final film score that composer James Horner wrote for an animated film. Jenna shares similarities with Lady, the cocker spaniel from Disney's Lady and the Tramp (1955) both characters are attractive female dogs who fall in love with diamond-in-the-rough type dogs. One of the two animated films of 1995 that's based off a true story. The other being Pocahontas (1995). The final animated feature produced by Steven Spielberg's Amblimation animation studio, before he co-founded DreamWorks with David Geffen and Jeffrey Katzenberg. Most of the Amblimation staff were re-located to DreamWorks Animation. The film's release was vastly overshadowed by the performance of Disney's Toy Story (1995) and, at best, did modest box office. This led to the closure and disestablishment of Amblimation, but it quickly garnered a strong cult following, and is now regarded as a classic. |
