I can't remember if I've ever seen it, the score is, like you said wonderful on so many levels. It's such a, un-kiddie sounding score for a kiddie type film. If that makes any sense, it's a very dramatic and serious work to a childrens film. I can't imagine there is that much more music left off the album, but again, I'd be up for a complete or at least a re-issue so others can get this great album.

I recently re-watched the film (with the girlfriend) and noted that there was missing music on the album from the film. You have a really cool girlfriend if she's willing to watch animated films from the 80s! As far as the score, I really like the CD, which flows very nicely. I've never seen the film though, so I don't know what I'm missing.

Well, assuming there aren't any unreleased alternates (I think the original album may have contained an alternate version of its film cue), there's actually only one unreleased cue (starting around where Spike is found). The catch is, since it's Horner, the cue goes on over 12 minutes (like many of the cues that made it on the album). Definitely worth having, IMO, and the score really needs a good remaster. I'd buy an expanded release in a heartbeat...but I'd be even more excited for a complete Balto! Yavar

Don't care about any alleged ripoffs It's actually pretty obvious in this one. One track sounds like "The Jimmy Heart Version" of Peter and the Wolf, while a motif that runs through the score is lifted out of Romeo and Juliet (also Prokofiev). Still, it's an utterly fantastic score and I'd by an expansion in a second. The beginning is from Bartok's The Wooden Prince also. But I also find it a wonderful score nonetheless. I'd rather Horner evoke from the masters than some of the crap that passes for "music" in film scores these days.

Complete reissue! I'd love a two-disc with the complete score on disc one and an album remaster on disc two. I absolutely love this wonderful score.

Re-Issue. The complete score would even be more repetitive than the overlong 58-minute MCA release already was.
