Snow Wolf

This movie is incredible! I've watched through it so many times that I lost track years ago... the story of a halfbreed trying to fit in with the other canines (all while racing the clock in order to save his town) provides a positive message about self for viewers of all ages. This movie has a darker tone to it than most animated features as well. There are *no* random outbreaks of song nor bad music groups providing theme songs. Though I've heard complaints about the sidekick characters, I guess nobody's perfect. ;-) Balto's score is beautifully done by James Horner, full of emotion that combines with smooth animation to result in some powerful scenes. The famous White Wolf encounter will leave you on the edge of your seat...that single minute of the film is what hooked me in the first place. Balto's story is one you'll never forget! Four paws up.

This sci-fi epic caught my attention from the first episode, and has never left my memory since. The mix of comedy, drama and science was the perfect combination for a great show! Despite the fact it aired on Nickelodeon -known as a kids network - Space Cases has many little references, jokes and themes throughout that fly right over the heads of its target audience. The distinct personalities of each cadet make them unique...I was also one disappointed by the loss of Catalina at the end of the first season. (With that Saturnian personality and powers, she's the best of the five IMO.) The episodes went downhill incredibly from Suzee's appearance onward. Thanks to the internet I have found pictures and sounds to remind me of this great work, but sadly I haven't seen an actual episode in five years. Sure, I could find more ''flaws'' now than I could back then at age 13, but there is no chance I would like it any less; if this is your type of show you cannot grow out of it. If you can get a hold of some Space Cases episodes, I completely recommend it to you and am sorry I can't see it anymore. Zabagabe, zabagabe!!
