Let me tell you something, Balto. A dog cannot make this journey alone... but maybe, a wolf can.

deleted scenes: "barrel scene" (part 1). This scene made it pretty far into production before being cut. info in the link, but I also added a screenshot from the page with information about this scene.

"Balto notices that Rosy dropped her mitten and goes to return it to her, but Steele rolls a barrel at him. He falls with his head in a bucket, and Steele, Nikki, Kaltag, and Star laugh at him. Rosy's father steps out with a broom to shoo Balto away, but Rosie and Jenna run to defend him. It is possible that this scene was nearly fully animated, as there is a still from it in the DVD scene selection, featuring Steele standing on the barrel, as well as two stills in The Movie Storybook of Rosie's father with the broom" - deleted scenes: "barrel scene" (part 2)

deleted scenes - steele's death (part 1)

"In this version, the dogs want to take the collar from Steele to give to Balto. However, Balto tells the others to let him keep it. Still furious with Balto, Steele charges through the other dogs, knocking them out of his way. Star calls out a warning to Balto, who ducks and avoids Steele's attack. Steele flies over him and gets his collar caught on the lever to a coal shaft. In his struggle to free himself, he accidentally opens it and falls out of his collar and into bin and gets buried to death by the falling coal."

an alternate ending to Starr just taking the collar from Steele and giving it to Balto
