Balto III: Wings of Change (2004)

Balto is now retired, and his son Kodi (from the same litter of pups seen in Wolf Quest) works for the US Mail. Kodi loves his job and his new friends, - Dusty, Kirby and Ralph. Balto is intrigued by the new bush plane that has arrived in Nome. He wishes to fly, just like the plane. When the plane delivers the mail faster than the dogs, tension builds up and Kodi and his friends are worried that they might lose their jobs. They have a resentment against the pilot - Duke. Meanwhile, Boris falls for a lady goose named Stella. He wants to fly with her, but he's afraid of heights. He eventually lies to her, claiming that he's suffering from numerous ailments that prevent him from flying. A race is organised between the dogsled team and the bush plane. Kodi wants his father to lead his team. Balto is not so sure, but after a little convincing from Jenna, he acceps the offer. Not long afterwards, Duke discovers Balto exploring his plane. The two become friends, for Duke knows about how Balto saved the children. The next day, the race is about to begin. Boris boasts to Balto about how he's lied to Stella, unaware that she's right behind him. She becomes very angry and manages to get him stuck in one of the mail bags, which is hoisted onto the plane. The race begins. The destination is to the town of White Mountain and back. At first, the plane easily overtakes the dogs. But on the way back, the plane mysteriously disappears. The dog team wins the race, and Kodi is confident that his job is secure. But Balto still doubts it, much to his son's dismay. When the plane still hasn't arrived yet, Balto suspects that something has gone wrong. He sets out to rescue Duke and Boris, but Kodi refuses to help. After Balto leaves, Jenna is surprised and angry that Kodi had not gone to help - that he valued his job over a human life. She scolds him, and Kodi realises that it is his duty to help his father. With the help of Stella and Muk and Luk, Balto locates the site of the crash, but not before encountering two angry moose. Boris is quickly found, and Stella and the polar bears head for home. Balto stays behind. He finds Duke (who's leg is broken) and tries to haul him back to Nome on a sheet of metal. After a disaster involving an ice bridge, Balto and Duke are about to fall into a chasm. But Kodi and his friends arrive just in time to save them both. The dogs help bring Duke back to Nome and Balto is praised as a hero, once again. Stella eventually forgives Boris, and Balto finally accomplishes his dream of flying.
