Greetings my dear reader! Make yourself at home. I really hope that my stories will help you escape from the problems and immerse yourself in the wonderful world of my fantasies.
Sixth. Often I heard the theory from people who wanted to somehow connect the White Wolf and Inae, but retaining them as separate characters, where one (White Wolf) flows from another (Inae). What is the essence of this theory - in the original film, Bolto supposedly presented himself with the image of his mother as a psychological aid in accepting his wolf half. Nice theory. True, it is refuted almost instantly, as well as refutes another detail, about which a little later. Remember one important detail in the scene of Bolto’s silent first interaction with the White Wolf: Bolto’s fear and shame is shown in front of a white wolf, and where there is neither a meek joy, nor a simple smile, nor a greeting. Got the point? If this hallucination was really based on the memories of my mother, then, having seen the White Wolf, would Bolto be afraid and ashamed of a bright memory? No. Would he really turn his back on the warm memory of his mother, which he himself aroused in his mind? No. Bolt would certainly have smiled and turned to the wolf with a short “Mom? ..”, at the same time letting us know about the white color of the mother. But that did not happen. Accordingly, Inae can never be the White Wolf from the original, just like the White Wolf could not be Inae from the sequel. And therefore the following follows - if suddenly, according to the idea of the original film and its creators, Bolto's mother was a wolf, she was NOT completely white. She was an ordinary gray wolf, similar to wolves from a pack at the beginning of the first cartoon (but, as we know, according to the idea of the first film, Bolto’s mother is a working husky and her father is a wolf). Therefore, in the first film, there was no Inae and the concept associated with it. But even in this case, all inconsistencies, holes and questions voiced in the previous paragraphs in the garden of the delusional concept of "mother-wolf and father-dog" do not disappear anywhere.
Total. The version of "Wolf Quest" does not fit in with either the first film or its own plot. Take away from Inae the fad of her motherhood and connection with the first film, and everything will fall into place, will not contradict either the original, or even more so. Neither the personality nor the existence of the dog and the she-wolf declared in the sequel have any reinforcements at all: NOTHING is mentioned about the reason for the hero’s separation from his mother, about possible people, about the possible death of his mother, and about WHERE the gander found Bolto; there is no description of either the father or the other possible puppies, and the blurry details about the mother are forgotten, as if Bolto had invented all this. In other words, Bolto appears here as an unreliable storyteller, and the information he said in the sequel is false and doubtful. This would not be a problem if at the end everything was revealed and we were given answers, which did not happen. In the version of the first film and in the words of the person who shot the first film, there are much more details and information that are quite plausible and logical.
Instead of an epilogue.
Of course, I would lie if I didn’t say that it distorted me, that theoretically in the sequel version the beautiful she-wolf could meet with some kind of dog. Nevertheless, even this could be interestingly and beautifully revealed and presented: the northern dog won the love of the polar alpha wolf and the respect of its entire pack, having committed some noble deed and proved worthy. Agree, a cool idea for a good plot in the scenery of Alaska of the 20s. Face it with little intrigue, a pinch of drama and humor and a mystical halo, and in this case we could get an unusual and enchanting variation of "Oliver Twist" in the setting of the Wolf Saga from Katherine Laski. At the same time, logical and without "fantasy".
And so, I personally prefer the version of the first film, where Bolto has a wolf father and a husky riding mother. It is believable, natural, logical, not far-fetched by all sorts of natural / interpersonal ups and downs-coincidences and without "fantasy." I prequel with them in the spirit of Jack London's Call of the Ancestors, I would be glad.
P.S. By the way, for people with questions, they say, if the mother was a dog, then why is Bolto alone and with a gander. I remind you, Wells described Bolto as an outcast puppy. I am inclined to believe that other dogs bit to death the mother-like (I was prompted by the moment from the Call of the Ancestors), or she left with the wolves.
