It is loosely based on the true story of the dog Balto, who helped save children infected with diphtheria in the 1925 serum run to Nome. The film stars voice actors Kevin Bacon, Bridget Fonda, Phil Collins, and Bob Hoskins. Though primarily an animated film, it uses a live-action framing device that takes place in New York City's Central Park and features Miriam Margolyes as an older version of one of the children. This is the third and final film to be produced by Steven Spielberg's Amblimation animation studio, before the studio's closure in 1997. ## Credits - **Director:** [Simon Wells](https://cinepixo.com/people/simon-wells) - **Screenplay:** [David Cohen](https://cinepixo.com/people/david-cohen-3), [Roger S.
