History WesternAnimation / BaltoIIIWingsOfChange

* LogoJoke: The movie opens with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TFc2kZCjso the Universal logo that was used from 1927 to 1936]]. It's period-appropriate (since the movie is set in 1928), as well as thematically appropriate due to byplanes featuring prominently in the plot.

* SpeaksInShoutOuts: The Bull Moose mentioned above that our heroes encounter likes to quote Creator/RobertDeNiro from ''Film/TaxiDriver'' during his appearance… a lot… so much so that other characters are outright RESPONDING to him after a while

Kodi is a young wolf-dog who works for US Mail. When a new bi-plane arrives in his town, Kodi and his teammates are worried that they'll lose their jobs. A race is ordered to see who is faster and more reliable: the plane or the sled dog team.

* NoAntagonist: This is the only film that doesn't have a true villain. The closest things we get are a pair of moose.

In 1923, Kodi is a young wolf-dog who works for US Mail. When a new bi-plane arrives in his town, Kodi and his teammates are worried that they'll lose their jobs. A race is ordered to see who is faster and more reliable: the plane or the sled dog team.

''Balto III: Wings of Change'' is the sequel to ''WesternAnimation/BaltoIIWolfQuest'' and the second sequel to ''WesternAnimation/{{Balto}}''. It stars one of Balto's and Jenna's sons (and Aleu's brother), Kodi.

* BigDamnHeroes: In the third film, Kodi and his sled team pull this to [[spoiler:save Balto and Duke from falling off a cliff.]]

** The third movie has even more callbacks to the first than the seconx: several characters, including Rosy, Kaltag and Star, are given small cameos; in one scene, dogs listen in on an important human conversation through a floor grate; in another, the mail team is shown hanging out in the same saw mill used as a gathering place in the first film.

* FullNameUltimatum: Jenna calls Kodi by his full name, Kodiak, when he [[spoiler:allows his father to go out on his own to save Duke. Though it's not so much she's blaming him for that but that he doesn't care about someone's life.]] What's worse is its directly in front of his friends.
* NoAntagonist: ''Wings of Change'' is the only film that doesn't have a true villain. The closest things we get are a pair of moose.
* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: The two moose that the gang encounters in the third film are Creator/MauriceLamarche doing his impersonation of Creator/RobertDeNiro and Creator/JoePesci.

* OfficialCouple: Ralph and Dusty from the third movie were ''intended'' to be this, but they didn't have time to put more scenes exploring it in.
* WhatTheHellHero: Kodi gets one in the third movie when [[spoiler:he refuses to go with Balto to save Duke after his plane crashed. Yeah, the guy did almost cost him his job but still.]] Both Balto and Jenna call him out on it but it takes a FullNameUltimatum and speech from Jenna in front of his friends to convince him. Kodi later delivers his own speech of the like towards his fellow sled dogs when they refuse to help Duke, declaring he won't be a mail dog if it means letting someone who needs help die.

''Balto III: Wings of Change'' is the sequel to ''WesternAnimation/BaltoIIWolfsQuest'' and the second sequel to ''WesternAnimation/{{Balto}}''. It stars one of Balto's and Jenna's sons (and Aleu's brother), Kodi.
