For those who have read my opinions on Wolf Quest, once thing I really didn't say was the animation of that sequel was quite sloppy. Certainly some odd proportions and choices were made, definitely with the wolf characters in the third act. I wasn't impressed with it. Now, granted that was Universal's South Korean studio making the designs, and that was their first shot at drawing dogs/wolves or canines in general from what I can tell. They'll get somewhat a pass for that because everyone starts off new at something in their life.
Thankfully, because they already did it once, that means they got better and closer to the look of Balto with the third film and we got an animation bump with Wings of Change. If you look, at least designs were consistent, and they kept to the original style of the film. Balto looks more like he originally did (he was an odd light brown in the 2nd film). Kodi was obviously going to look husky-like. Still wish they stopped with the CGI water compared to drawn landscape blends because they don't work together at all, but Universal couldn't get over this no matter what film they made at this time.
Then we get this wacky one where Kodi appears drunk in the background (right before the first race between the dogs and bush plane)

I certainly do not see how it could have been cheaper to use CG water than to just simply draw it back in 2000-2005 when they were doing this with their films.
