60 of 123 · most liked first1925 serum run to Nome Last winter I watched Togo (2019), a Disney film about the lead sled dog Togo and his musher Leonhard Seppala, who covered the biggest and most dangerous part of the run with the medicine to rescue Nome's sick children (although the glory went to the dog Balto) #fanart
neutral · AI labelView post →Gary recently met Hugo, one of the stars of the Disney film Togo. Hugo was very excited to meet Gary. Gary was not so excited to meet him.
neutral · AI labelView post →Remember Togo. He did most of the run. Check out the great movie.
positive · AI labelView post →I know we're all mad about media nonsense these days but I am irate that TOGO, which I think might well be the best ever dog movie, is no longer streaming on Disney+ and never got a physical release. I want to recommend it to people! Incredible work by everyone involved, ethered. Sours me fierce.
positive · AI labelView post →Togo would have been cool with Balto getting credit, he was all about the job, not the acclaim. YOU MUST SEE the movie TOGO, by the way, it it EXCELLENT (It's free on Tubi in the US!)

neutral · AI labelView post →Just watched a film called "Togo." Had watery eyes at the end, must have been something in them.
positive · AI labelView post →Sorry I should have tagged the person who mentioned the TOGO movie. That’s what I was referring to.
neutral · AI labelView post →The glory bestowed on Balto overshadows the effort put in by Togo, the lead dog in the serum run’s longest and harshest leg days earlier. (This husky will, however, get his own film, “Togo,” in 2019.) Champion musher Leonhard Seppala happened to have raised both dogs. 9/10
neutral · AI labelView post →With the Mario Galaxy movie, now feels like a topical time to post Boo Togo. Not much changes he's still stupid #nsfwart
neutral · AI labelView post →“Why do you like games so much? Movies are more interesting.” Because no movie made me cry like these 4 games (but Togo and some others did come close lol wtf)
neutral · AI labelView post →We're watching "Hamnet" and the finale has a score by Max Richter called "Of the Nature of Daylight". @thornwolf.com nailed it by identifying it used in "Togo" .. which is a movie that had us both in tears during its pivotal scene.. WHICH HAD US IN TEARS!!!
neutral · AI labelView post →Kojima comparing Death Stranding to the movie Togo makes me want to play Death Stranding more than I already did before now.
neutral · AI labelView post →I like that the movie gets so many facts correctly – as a puppy Togo was mischievous and ran away from his new owners, he was 12 by the serum run and he indeed pulled that ice floe (different time of his life though). I've drawn him in this style as a trubite to 'Balto' which I really like
positive · AI labelView post →God it’s been awhile since I’ve been triggered to tears from music but a random Instagram reel played On the Nature of Daylight by Max Richter which I associate with the movie Togo and just started uncontrollably crying bc Best Old Man Dog 😭 youtu.be/rVN1B-tUpgs?...
neutral · AI labelView post →The smart one’s favorite movie is Togo. She has tummy troubles and can’t eat gluten or fish. I think she would trade her sister for a pet puppy.
neutral · AI labelView post →Our second film set in Alaska (Togo), and our 17th set in DC. Map! #HATM public.tableau.com/app/profile/...

positive · AI labelView post →Duke Togo put all his stats in Charisma and Accuracy. Legit forgot how much I like the 1983 animated film. God damn it goes hard
neutral · AI labelView post →6 more festivals! FIGA in Togo for African premiere and Calibélula in Colombia for South American premiere. Also Manzanita Film Fest in Oregon, Red Cedar Film Fest in Wisconsin, MONIFF in New Hampshire, & Queen's Reserve Underground Film Fest in Washington! #sunsparkmovie #animation #filmfestivals
neutral · AI labelView post →We started a Letterboxd. Not for every film. Just the ones with a dog in them. Hachiko waiting nine years at a train station. Togo running the leg Balto got famous for. The beagle that started John Wick. Reviewed through a four-legged lens, slowly, properly. letterboxd.com/dogwithblog/
neutral · AI labelView post →Oh this movie is actually rly rly good It sucks that it's Disney but it's the movie that taught me that Togo is the dog hero that did the majority of the trip to get the serum for the sick children, not Balto

neutral · AI labelView post →Fun fact: Toho was reeling from the end of the Kaiju boom so They hired a first time director and said make us a different kind of Godzilla film - he did, obviously a need Togo was like ‘NOT LIKE YHAT!’ And it was his last film, too. :p
neutral · AI labelView post →Movie night! Togo: based on a true story of the 1925 Serum relay when dogsled teams risked their lives to deliver a Diptheria injection in Alaska tubitv.com/movies/10005...
neutral · AI labelView post →The most UNFAIR thing Hollywood has ever done is dropkick audiences in the feels with the song, "On the Nature of Daylight" during sad movie scenes, like in "Arrival" and "Togo."
neutral · AI labelView post →I sure am easily susceptible to influence sometimes. I watch 2mins of a "Fat Electrician" video, he says the Balto anime movie gave credit to the wrong dog, says they made a movie called "Togo" about the real story, says Dafoe is in it, & it's no longer streaming, so I immediately go find it online
neutral · AI labelView post →Timeline cleanse! Lumi watching her favorite movie, Togo. Please interact so I can temporarily avoid seeing how my government is trying to dehumanize people I love!
neutral · AI labelView post →Heart of the Beast is a 78 from me. Brad Pitt's best scene partner in years has four legs, and the ending has real bite. Heart of the Beast or Togo, which Alaska dog movie are you picking? #FilmSky
positive · AI labelView post →☀️ In Mali, solar cooking is transforming lives. This new film highlights how SCI, with funding from the UN CTCN and support from local partner Togo Tilé, is helping communities access solar cooking solutions that improve health and reduce fuel costs. 🎥 www.youtube.com/watch?v=K25w...
neutral · AI labelView post →Diphtheria has. 5-10% mortality rate but the indigenous people around Nome had never been exposed so mortality was expected to be much higher. While Balto, the sled dog, got a movie and a statue, another dog, Togo, lead his team across 261 miles along the most treacherous part of the trail. 2/
neutral · AI labelView post →I have seen so many movies about Siberian Huskies this past week Balto Balto II: Wolf's Quest Balto III: Wings of Change Togo Eight Below You won't get me to rewatch Snow Dogs, though. In the words of Sonic the Hedgehog, that movie is the wooooooorst
neutral · AI labelView post →Not sure if this is in the states or anyplace else but here in Canada, the Willem Dafoe historical dogsled drama film that was ripped off Disney+ a couple years ago, Togo is free with ads on the Tubi app this month! I’d wanted to see that but never did. ☺️
neutral · AI labelView post →TOGO (2019), dir. Ericson Core, scrp. Tom Flynn WHO'S THE GOODEST BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great film for a family night and for hugging your pups!!! And holy shit Alaska is intimidating ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
positive · AI labelView post →If you want a real good dog movie, about a real dog, watch Togo. That dog was metal as hell, and they actually had to leave stuff out as they didn't think it was believable 😄.
positive · AI labelView post →Since the animated film "Balto" is turning 30 years old. Please remember that the film is very historically inaccurate. Balto was never a wolfdog in real life and he never had a mate who gave birth to puppies like in the sequels. Also, Togo was the real hero in the story. #history #alaska #films
neutral · AI labelView post →Luckily, the home video market made Balto a sleeper hit... and made me into a fan ever since (and later it got me into reading more about the true story, which really makes me feel for all of the dogs & people involved; also I wish they made Balto's story more like the Disney+ Togo movie).
neutral · AI labelView post →Crazy streaming moment tonight. So, oldest child earned a reward, which meant he got to pick a movie for everyone to watch + popcorn. He requested his favorite movie, which is TOGO, which features Willem Dafoe yelling at sleddogs + diptheria. It is a fantastic film. Disney+, we've watched it a lot.
positive · AI labelView post →Gonna watch Togo, the sled dog movie. I mean, you got a dog AND Willem Dafoe? How could it go wrong? 🎥
positive · AI labelView post →Don’t forget that the movie is a flashback from Rosie’s perspective. It explains the talking animals and not knowing about Togo.
neutral · AI labelView post →That's fine and dandy but you were replying to a couple layers deep comments into a dog named Togo and the Disney movie based on him. That was the context of the comments you ignored... and proved correct... Togo did way more work but Balto gets all the credit.
neutral · AI labelView post →YEP. We had a hell of a Togo party also back in the day after the movie 🎥 came out. Lots of pissed off parents that weekend. Not over the party or us drinking into semi comas but, taking their sheets from the house and trashing them. 😂😂😂 Good Times.
positive · AI labelView post →Disney just pulled Togo from Disney+. A fantastic film that could’ve had a larger audience as word of mouth spread. But now it doesn’t exist outside of bootleg Chinese Blu-ray’s on eBay.
positive · AI labelView post →I haven’t! I should, I’ve only seen Disney’s Togo! Very different type of movie but still about the same event
neutral · AI labelView post →The legend and movie! All the dogs were heroes, but the main hero dog was Togo!
neutral · AI labelView post →Have you ever watched the 2019 movie Togo? Based on true story of 1925 vaccine run across blizzard conditions. Your photo reminds me of a scene were they had to cross a frozen lake. Good movie.
positive · AI labelView post →I like calling Togo the live action Disney villain movie for Balto to be annoying
neutral · AI labelView post →#ponsuka ep.4 -Great episode. -Togo had fun interactions with Poem's sister & mother. -Flashback of Poem's family watching that PreCure film was awesome. -Togo battle rapping that delinquent & giving him advice were all great scenes.
neutral · AI labelView post →Great movie. But it’s Togo erasure is malpractice
positive · AI labelView post →Also Togo. Dafoe voice: now there's a movie!
neutral · AI labelView post →It’s a weird and wonderful Togo film, made during that studio’s most experimental and adventurous periods.
neutral · AI labelView post →Have you seen the Togo movie?
neutral · AI labelView post →watch Togo (the real life story with a Balto cameo) and you'll probably have a 6th, fr tho strong recommend for a great film
positive · AI labelView post →So Togo absolutely rips. Super fun movie that Disney used to launch Disney+. And they have since just pulled it. It's completely unavailable. Anywhere!
positive · AI labelView post →I cried at least three times watching Togo. Cracking film.
positive · AI labelView post →Togo (2019) Screams cries and throws up. WHY DID DISNEY TAKE THIS DOWN?!
positive · AI labelView post →I saw the film Togo about the 1925 serum run. It's about the lead dog on the sled that did most of the run*, I think about 2/3s of it. I'd really recommend it. *There's a statue in Central Park, NY to commemorate it but they used a different dog, Balto, from the sled that finished the run.
positive · AI labelView post →Togo (2019) was an interesting film I tracked down on a whim
neutral · AI labelView post →Wait. Did Disney just disappear Togo? That movie was fantastic and literally launched the platform. This is some BS. That movie ruled.
