Balto: The Story of a Hero

This video was originally uploaded by Dockeeping -- this is his LEGACY. DISCLAIMER: This music video is purely non-profit fan-made work. No copyright infringement is intended. All rights belong to their respective owners (Sony Music Entertainment). -------------------------------------------------------------- Today is a very special day, because we have here one special Guest Star! Real celebrity - nobody less than famous and noble Balto, the leader of the sled dog team that delivered diphtheria antitoxin to Nome in Alaska during the epidemic in 1925 and thereby saved lives of many citizens of this city. In celebration of this special opportunity, our one-man team made an exception, added his story to our usual movie collection, and created this short music video to show and remind his heroic act. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Balto, Jenna and their friends and watch their amazing story... For this occasion, Mariah Carey lent her song "Hero". -------------------------------------------------------------- Note: For watching with the best sound and video quality click "HD" below the video. -------------------------------------------------------------- PERSONAL NOTE: I always loved this movie and the true story behind it. It's a many months ago now when I firstly got the idea to make a video from Balto with this song, because I don't know any song that could fit more for his story than Hero by Mariah Carey. But I never managed to start this work - I don't know why, but it's hard for me to start with some new "unknown" movie (that's the reason why I'm so conservative and have only two movies I'm using now) - although I knew the movie very well for many years - the video making is much different than simple watching. So I never dared... But few days ago I watched the movie again and I decided that I just have to do this - although it will be probably only video from it. And so I created this... And it's your part of work now to decide if it's good or not - but I still think that this song just fits perfectly for the story - so tell me, is it the same for this video? LITTLE WISH: Are somebody of you from Cleveland? Please, if you will ever visit the local Museum of Natural History, deliver my greetings and thanks to Balto there. Or are you from New York City? So when you will walk through Central Park, stop by the statue of Balto and remember him and the other dogs for a moment while I can't... Thank you. Lyrics: Mariah Carey - Hero There's a hero If you look inside your heart You don't have to be afraid Of what you are There's an answer If you reach into your soul And the sorrow that you know Will melt away [Chorus:] And then a hero comes along With the strength to carry on And you cast your fears aside And you know you can survive So when you feel like hope is gone Look inside you and be strong And you'll finally see the truth That a hero lies in you It's a long road When you face the world alone No one reaches out a hand For you to hold You can find love If you search within yourself And the emptiness you felt Will disappear [Chorus] Lord knows Dreams are hard to follow But don't let anyone Tear them away Just hold on There will be tomorrow And in time You'll find the way [Chorus]
