Critics Consensus

With bland visuals and a dull, predictable plot, Alpha and Omega is a runt in 2010's animated litter.

The 8-12s will love it, but grown-ups may feel they've seen lots of it before (especially the caribou stampede, a shameless pinch from The Lion King.)

Here is a pleasant, undemanding animated family comedy - decent enough, but it feels like a reshuffling of dozens of films you've seen before.

2/5

A poorly written and disappointingly animated adventure that may keep the wee'uns happy for a while but will leave the adults snoozing.

This piece of child entertainment is a visual delight and not a punishment for the accompanying adults. [Full review in Spanish]

2/5

The animation, coupled with a jarring use of 3D, makes for a visually unspectacular film that feels very similar to others that have come before it.

You know? I actually think this is peak. My grandson used to hate that movie back in summer 2023 all because it was free with ads for a stupid reason, but now as of 2025, he pretty much started liking it.

Well this was an interesting little animated adventure comedy. Filled with an all star voice cast (rip to Dennis Hopper) this involves 2 packs of wolves who are trying to Unite the packs through a wedding. Humphrey and Kate are taken and relocated to idaho where they are suppose to repopulate that park with little ones. They must return to their home before a fight breaks out between the packs. I loved the characters and this was really funny. The animation looked good. Tim Treakle

I’ve always loved this movie when I was a kid, and I still love it to this day. I wish Lionsgate would consider bringing this franchise back with all cast members.

Ever since I watch the movie when I was little, this movie is my favorite because not only because I love the characters and the plot, but it’s because I love when Kate and Humphrey howl together. In this movie taught me no matter how different between you and the person you know, love always make them stronger. Even if you two don’t get along as much.

A very weak animated film that suffers from dated visuals and a love story riddled with clichés. It fails to deliver genuinely funny jokes, and the pacing really drags.
