I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Since the late 2000s, animated features for families have begun to decrease in quality. With blatant rehashes, cookie cutter plots, horrendous animation (it's rare to see a 2D feature animation these days), crappy musical numbers and a motive centered around breaking box-office numbers without any regard for quality, I'd have to ask this. Are we reaching the end of good family cinema, and are companies this uncaring for creating quality products? Apparently so.The problems with this movie become blatant from the get-go. The title of the movie represents a short-lived trend of Romeo and Juliet carbon copies. This is made apparent through the clichéd "two lovers from separate tribes who want to be together regardless" trope. With an aesthetic so paper thin, it's not worth describing in full detail.The animation is stale, and not distinctive from its competition, and given how significant good animation is when it comes to an animated feature (one that came out at the start of this decade mind you), what's the excuse?Another big thing about this movie is that it can't tell the difference between feral models and anthropomorphic models. There're times when four-legged wild animals would stand on their hind-legs and make allusions to stuff only humans or animals close to civilization would know about.Sadly, this has attracted a fandom who has proved to be more devoted (borderline obsessive) than any other fanbase, and they'd fight to defend A&O's furry allusions. You can't defend what is hardly present.It's a little better than the horrendous sequels that followed this particular movie though, but that's a review for another time.

OK, here is my review to Alpha and Omega, one of my favorite movies. The first time I saw the trailer to this, I wanted to see this, and I;m glad I did. It was a really enjoyable movie. I liked the animation, I loved the actors, I loved the score to the movie, and even though the storyline was predictable, I like the storyline.First off, the storyline... now I'm not picky about the storyline, as long as it is good, and this had a good storyline. A bit predictable but overall a good story. The main Omega wolf, Humphrey is a great representation of a normal guy who has a crush on the pretty girl, who happens to be Kate, the main Alpha wolf in the movie. Kate and Humphrey is my favorite couple when it comes to movies. They are perfect for each other and even though this movie left a lot of plot holes, the entire movie was great. Who cares f this doesn't show what an actually pack looks like. The directors did a good job making this movie, so cut them so slack, they may not had enough money to give us a Lion King movie or even a Rio movie, but who cares... they made a good movie and I'm happy with that.Second, the actors... I loved every one of them. Justin Long, one of my favorite actors, was the perfect actor for Humphrey. He made me love him even more and Justin is the kind of actor that can make any character he does, lovable, so a round of applause for him. Hayden Panettiere, one of my favorite actresses and the perfect voice for Kate. It matches her perfectly and she brought Kate to life in more ways than ever. Kate Higgins who covers for Kate in the sequel does a good job but she is no Hayden... Hayden brought Kate to life. The same goes for Ben Diskin who covers for Humphrey in the sequel, he does a good job and sound just like Justin, but his performance was at least close to Justin. Then we have the sweet beautiful Christina Ricci as the shy beautiful Lilly. This right here is an perfect example of finding the perfect actress to provide the voice of a female character. Even though Lilly did not have as much screen time as Kate, Ricci made Lilly a very lovable character. Then we got Danny Glover as Winston and the legendary Dennis Hopper in his final movie as Tony. We also have Vicki Lewis who you may know from Finding Nemo as Deb/Flo and from the movie, Godzilla with Mathew Broderick. Lewis provides the voice of Eve who gives us a new look at the term overprotective.Thirdly, the score is amazing and from a composer I never heard of until now, Chris Bacon.The music to this movie is outstanding and really adds to the emotions in this movie. My favorite is the Love Train track, in which Humphrey howls with Kate on a train... it's a beautiful howl and makes you want to love wolves. Any lover of animals will love this feature, especially wolf lovers like myself. If you love soundtracks, then listen to this, because the soundtrack is amazing.Fourth, the animation... could be better but then again, seen a whole lot worse than this so we shouldn't complain here. Every movie will have their flaws, and to me, this is one of this movie's flaws. The animation could have been better but then again, the storyline could be better, too. The animators did a fantastic job on the main characters like Kate and Humphrey. Advice to the makers, You guys did an amazing job on this movie. You made an enjoyable movie and great choices on the cast. You also did a good job on the storyline. But the storyline needs working on, you left many questions unanswered like what happened to Humphrey's parents? Where is Garth's mother? How did Humphrey and Kate meet? Were they friends since birth or did they accidentally meet somewhere before the beginning? So, if you were to make another movie, make sure that the storyline improves a bit. But overall, great job and I really enjoyed your movie.Overall, I give this movie 10 out of 10 stars. Even though there are flaws in this movie and the storyline is a bit predictable, I really enjoyed this movie and liked the sequels. The sequels could be better but they could be so much worse. I highly suggest watching them if you enjoyed this movie. Any animated movie or animal lover should at least watch this movie. To me, it's worth it and a great movie for kids to watch but I suggest this movie to kids ages 8 or up. This movie has some themes that aren't appropriate for younger kids. If you feel your kids are comfortable for these themes, then they can watch it but I suggest only kids 8 or older to watch this.

The plot of this movie was pretty boring and unoriginal, a Romeo and Juliet with animated wolves as the stars. The only good thing about the movie was Christina Ricci (actress of Wednesday on the Addams Family movies), voice the albino wolf Lilly. The other voice actors were terrible. There was excessive crude humor and it was disgusting and unnecessary. Most of the characters themselves are shallow and seemingly have no purpose. The wolf Kate has a mane like a horse, supposedly to make the wolf character look more feminine, but last I checked wolves don't have hair like that. Cross Brother Bear with All Dogs go to Heaven and you'd get this, it's a pretty pathetic movie. It apparently takes place in Canada but looks very unlike Canada. I live here for god's sake, it isn't all snowy mountains and maple trees, you can go swimming here in the summer and we have great beaches, factories, movies are filmed here, it is nothing like this movie! This is a waste of time watching, if you want a good animated kid's movie try Monster's Inc. (2001) or Chicken Run (2000).

It's good and most of the people giving it bad reviews are stupid helicopter parents that are way over protective and people who like to expect something they have never ever seen before from a kid movie. There is like one curse word you probably won't notice(I didn't notice, but apparently after reading someone's bad review of the movie after I had watched it said that the main character said the D-word at one point, but I don't remember). Also if your mind is in the gutter you can take a little flirting and say it is a sexual reference, but its not. I liked it and watched it with my 8year old sister. I'm not going to tell you the plot, because I like to think whoever is reading this will watch the movie or learn the plot from another review. The main importance is it has these things! 1. Great plot 2. Romance between multiple characters 3. Developed Characters 4. Multiple settings 5. Good age appropriate humor 6. Great Action (as far as animal action can be, so no guns or explosions obviously.) 7. Shows a good conflict and character's struggle to solve the conflict. 8. Easy to sit down and enjoy. So I hope you will enjoy watching it and give it a good rating. You will enjoy it :D.
