If you understand at the get go that this movie was not made to amaze and simply for family enjoyment then you won't be let down...Animation has certainly diversified over the years, leading to films which are described as breathtaking (Pixar for example), appealing to a much wider audience. This movie will probably please younger kids more, but the story is cute and so are the characters.Overall, it has a Romeo and Juliet vibe, with an Omega wolf named Humphrey falling in love with an Alpha named Kate, which is of course forbidden! They end up being relocated to "repopulate" and must find their way back to prevent a fallout between two rival packs.One thing I don't understand is the need for two alphas from each side to marry in order to prevent conflict, as surely this could be achieved by other means? Either way, I try not to overanalyse a children's movie and enjoy it for what it is.The animation is quite simple and sometimes clunky, but I guess you could argue that it's stylised. I like the design of the wolves, but am not a big fan of the bears and some other minor characters as I feel they don't fit in. Overall, I say if you want some family entertainment this one will certainly do no harm, although it's not on the same level as some other films released in 2010, such as "How To Train Your Dragon" or "Toy Story 3".

What really spoils this film are some (or all) characters that are weird, ugly men and children, his film's protagonist is a skinny and Wolf animated beast, I also don't really like the way he has child, who saves the whole picture is his mate, the movie didn't give me interest for the most part, got bored for a while seeing strange animations and children , only the end I liked it,gave me a certain emotion, but it does not save the whole movie, I didn't think the film very interesting, is optional only for children 10 years down, nor do I think to see the proceedings as in pictures, I can see the animations have worsened and on top of that they changed the main characters by their puppies, leaving the film even more childish , Alpha and Omega was a deception has altered your intentions for me

Alpha and Omega tells the tale of two different wolf packs. One Alpha(which represents the male wolves),one called Humpery(voiced by Justin Long who is also the voice of Alvin from the Alvin & The Chipmunks franchise)and the Omegas(Female wolf pack,and Kate is in this one(voiced by Hayden Panterrie from Racing Stripes). The two somehow sorta love each other(star-crossed you can say) and they end up getting lost and team up with a goose and a bird and the two try and find there way back home.Overall there's nothing really to say about this movie. The story is bland,the animation is nice,the plot not so easy to talk about as its just about wolves getting lost and finding their way home again. Overall its an OK animated movie and im a HUGE fan of animated films,always have always will. My favourite is of course Tangled and you can say I loved Frozen too and HTTYD and The Lion King basically the list goes on. 4/10

When I first saw the trailer for this movie, I was sold on it basically because I am a fan of animated dog/wolf movies, and I thought this would be another one of those movies. And I was correct. The reason Alpha and Omega has a negative reputation amongst critics is because most critics would rather watch movies that aren't animated comedies. But, being a guy who is open-minded most of the time, I don't just judge movies based on what they are. And with that said, I loved this movie.There are a few things about it that are disappointing, but those things are very VERY minor when you consider how well the plot is executed. It's a very basic plot reminiscent of Homeward Bound crossed with Balto and Lady and the Tramp 2, but it's played out well and mostly avoids being just another CGI rehash movie. The humor is also well executed, too, as the movie relies on unintentional prat falls and tasteful innuendos and bathroom jokes that actually have context. But, where this movie really shines is the character development. Kate and Humphrey have fantastic charisma that is no different than the main characters of Lady and the Tramp 2 and The Lion King, and we really get to know a lot about these characters and feel for them as the movie goes on. My personal favorite character is Lilly. This character is a really sweet character who is at first shy, but gains confidence once she starts hanging with Garth, whom she instantly falls for. Not to mention the voice acting is very well done, especially from Justin Long and Christina Ricci.So, if there is anything out there that children should be watching, it's Alpha and Omega. Sadly, Alpha and Omega isn't as a popular name as something like Lion King, but as a movie, it sure has the audacity to be as good. I recommend this movie highly.
