Alfa y Omega

Cartoon about 2 wolves, an alpha (Panettiere) and an omega (Long),who get relocated to Idaho and there journey back home. Two wolves that are unable to "be" together get captured and relocated to another park halfway across the country. They set out for home with help from some very funny friends. Being a kids movie not much really to review, (except my kids really liked it). For the adults who watch this I really found it to be a metaphor for a class based system of the haves and have-nots. I may have read too much into it, but it makes a good point of love conquering all, no matter who or what you are. Deep enough? There were some really funny scenes in this but it is definitely a kids movie. Adults won't be totally bored, but don't expect "Shrek" type humor in this. I give it a B-, My kids give it an A.

I have always loved movies with animals in them like lion king, lady and the tramp and so on when i saw alpha and omega i loved it and there are a few reasons why i think this movie didn't get enough credit 1. it was a very original story i have never seen anything like it. 2 the animation is different witch i like 3. the acting was very good. and so this movie that got 4.8 should of had a 6.1 so anyway even if someone tells you this movie suck's just see it for yourself and give it a chance you might be surprised and i also highly recommend it for any wolf lover's but i don't recommend this movie for kid's the age of 1 to 5 due to some of the sexual actions.

Alpha and Omega is a competent baby-sitter but doesn't have quite the chops to be as absorbing for adults as well, as Pixar movies do. The movie is a standard fare love story and standard fare animal animation somewhat encased in a male bashing advertisement's philosophy. Humphrey is the idiotic male whose carelessness actually is a major plot point in the story while Kate is a mature, responsible, competent hunter, pretty, yada yada and so on.

The quality of the movie is top notch, and has a beautiful 3D that creates makes the scenes look much better and vibrant, though darker like using sunglasses using the 3d glasses. The movie is reminiscent of a lot of animal movies that happen in jungles that partially cross paths with humans. The golfer geese are funny and the bears, caribou all provide a lively background for the story to unfold.

Great movie to go with your daughter if you can bear the kid directed non-Pixar movies.

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".

im not going to bother going into the ins and outs of the story, there's plenty of info out there for that.

despite the negative reviews this one got, i quite enjoyed watching it, for a Sunday afternoon time passer. yeah the animation is a bit lacking, and the story is so cliché its painful, but, there were a few laugh out loud moments and in general an all round OK movie

don't watch if your into something that pushes the boundaries of animation techniques or story telling.

do watch if like me, u have a soft spot for the simple stories that help pass a relaxing afternoon.

absolutely fine for the kiddies really, some really obscure sexual references to appeal to the older kiddies but nothing to worry about. definitely a rainy day film
