My family and I just watched this movie, I loved it.
I had always thought the Serum run was done by Balto alone.

Saw the preview the other night and said to my wife. I thought that was Balto.

Enjoyed the film.
I skipped over this thread several times because I thought it was about Disney To Go. I figuered it might be some new Disney services.

They mention it in the movie. Balto led the last 31 miles. Still worthy of praise but togo did 200+ with a good chunk across the sea ice!!! wich is alot tougher.
Loved the movie. Got quite choked up over it as well !

Balto got the attention since he's was the lead dog when they arrive into Nome. Seppula/Togo covered the longest leg.
The Alaskan serum run was a tag-team/relay effort with a number of dog teams. Balto got the accolades as he was the lead dog entering Nome. The attention and celebrity status that the press generated angered a lot of the mushers and created some jealousy. Its another story, in a long chapter of the press creating a narrative, mudding the actual story and the public running with it.
