Even though Balto 2 was an entirely new experience, one couldn't help but notice some similarities between both films. All comparisons are made on the chart below, because any other way would be just too sloppy. As I come up with more similarities I'll be sure to list them. And if you haven't seen Balto 2 yet, I don't suggest you read this.
