Alpha et Omega

Okay, I wasn't really wanting to see this but my friend did and since we already watched my choice-Easy A-I decided to humor him and view this one next. It's not too bad, certainly with a voice cast that includes Justin Long and Hayden Panettiere in the leads and Danny Glover and the late Dennis Hopper, of which this film is dedicated to, as support. The scenes are wonderful, there are some amusements-both visually and aurally especially when we hear what a couple of ducks traveling along are saying-so on that note, this was a pretty pleasant and occasionally exciting picture. No great shakes but if you're interested in computer animation, Alpha and Omega is worth a look.

Saw this lovely animation movie with family during my vacations. Had not heard much about it as there was not much TV promotions and publicity before the release, but was pleasantly surprised by the high quality of animation, character building, the story and many other aspects. For my family it turned out to be a perfect vacation movie. The soundtrack of the movie is also worth mentioning here. Referring to another review here criticizing the movie for beyond understandable reasons, I believe movies are made for having fun, and criticizing them for stupid reasons like this movie was inspired by whatever is nonsense, because at the end of the day most of the animation movies including by all top studios follow the fun, family, adventure, thrills, some moral/ethics at the end of the story themes and this one's no exception. We enjoyed it throughly until it lasted plan to buy the Blu Ray disc for the kids as they loved it as much.

This movie was great for an animated movie. The animation was great, they had a decent soundtrack, the characters were fun, and if you show this to your kids, they will like it. But, the plot was predictable at times, some of the jokes were corny. But over all this is OK since it is an animated movie that has a target audience of 8 or 9 year olds. It really just depends on if you like these kind of movies or not. Personally, this is one of my favourite animated movies of all time. Maybe that is because I am an animal lover and wolves are my favourite animal. Basically, I loved this movie and I hope you found this review helpful. Thanks!

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.

The story in Alpha and Omega was rather traditional but it still retained enough originality to be entertaining. Most of the originality comes into play with the script which I found had plenty of laughs for both children and adults. The subtle and frequent sexual innuendos caught me by surprise and made me laughing out loud several times throughout the film. It appears as if, judging by other reviews om IMDb, most people overlooked this humor. Even the jokes aimed at children were fairly tolerable most of the time. I actually enjoyed the voice acting and dialog in Alpha and Omega more than Toy Story 3.

The Achilles heel of Alpha and Omega comes into play with the animation which would be better suited for a slap stick weekly Nickelodeon cartoon show. This, combined with the questionable art direction of the wolves overly human stature, added a very child-like feel that distracted me from the well written dialog. The poor animation quality is particularly evident in the "howling" scene which left a lot more to be desired design wise.

I enjoyed the film enough to watch "The Making of" featurette which indirectly explained why the animation was so horrible... it turns out that all of the animation was outsourced to India. I was extremely disappointed when I found out. Art is the last thing that needs to be outsourced when there are so many ready and willing production facilities in America to take the business. American companies outsource far too many products already, lets not let them outsource our films.

All-in-all I liked the movie but the fact that the creators completely ignored the quality of the CG is unforgivable. I'm being a little optimistic with my rating of a 7, it was that distracting.
