Historical accuracy
A film is very loosely according to Balto's avowedly story. a sleigh rerun for a medicine was actually a relay, & Balto was simply the leader of the go team to carry the medicine to Nome. All of the more characters, like Jenna, Nikki, Kaltag, Star, Steele, etc., were fabricated. Balto did non rescue any of the sledge teams. The medicine did non actually last by train from either Anchorage to Nenana. A number 1 of the teams to placed slay on the relay actually began from either Anchorage. [http://www.pbs.org/wnet/nature/sleddogs/balto.html] In this story Balto occurs as wolf-hybrid (part dog/part wolf).

Trivia
The animator for Jenna based his drawings on actress Audrey Hepburn. [http://www.filmeducation.org/filmlib/Balto.pdf]
