Hitchhiking, truck stops, angry bears, prickly porcupines and a golfing goose with a duck caddy. Just ask Kate and Humphrey, two wolves who are trying to get home after being taken by park rangers and shipped halfway across the country. Humphrey is an Omega wolf, whose days are about quick wit, snappy one-liners and hanging with his motley crew of fun-loving wolves and video-gaming squirrels. Kate is an Alpha: duty, discipline and sleek Lara Croft eye-popping moves fuel her fire. Humphrey's motto – make 'em laugh. Kate's motto – I'm the boss. And they have a thousand miles to go. Back home rival wolf packs are on the march and conflict is brewing. Only Kate and Humphrey can restore the peace. But first, they have to survive each other. (Lionsgate)

Critic Reviews

Variety - Andrew Barker

Not without charm and bearing easy appeal to very young viewers. Read full review

The Globe and Mail (Toronto) - Stephen Cole

If you have kids who are easily frightened, bring them to Alpha and Omega, a 3-D movie with training wheels. Kids may not like it, but they'll never fall off the ride. Read full review

San Francisco Chronicle - Peter Hartlaub

The sexual tension is thick between the woodland creatures in Alpha and Omega, an animated children's film with a plot that has more in common with "The Blue Lagoon" than "Bambi." Read full review

Arizona Republic - Randy Cordova

Occasionally cute but not much else, Alpha and Omega is an animated flick that doesn't leave much of an impression. Read full review

Time Out - Nick Schager

A dog in wolf's clothing, Lionsgate's drab, anthropomorphic animal saga does little more than reconfirm the preeminence of Pixar. Read full review

Boston Globe - Tom Russo

Alpha and Omega is sweet, if not fresh. Read full review

Washington Post - Michael O'Sullivan

The littlest children in your house may find something to titter at from time to time, but based on the reaction of a young screening audience, it won't be often. Read full review

Even though I think this movie should improve in certain areas, I do believe that Lionsgate did a good job on it. Without doubt, all of the music composed in A&O was truly astounding.

Maybe it's because I'm a huge fan of animals, but I highly enjoy watching this movie. Justin Long and Hayden Panettiere are very likable as the two main characters, Kate and Huphrey, and the side characters don't disappoint as well, especially Lilly (Christina Ricci) and Garth (Chris Carmack). This movie has adults jokes and innuendo that parents and teenagers will laugh out loud at while children will be entertained by the silly antics of the characters and the humor, which is surprisingly subtle and has context without hurting the overall tone of the movie.… Expand

overall i dont think that this was such a terrible movie but i will admit it could have been alot better. the story just didn't seem consistent it was too common and its be done before. the point am making is that there was nothing to make this movie stand out nothing unique. the effectsoverall i dont think that this was such a terrible movie but i will admit it could have been alot better. the story just didn't seem consistent it was too common and its be done before. the point am making is that there was nothing to make this movie stand out nothing unique. the effects however were well done throughout the movie… Expand

Don't you think the names of Alpha and Omega deserves it to go to another movie? Maybe a remake of this would be so much better than watching this movie.

One of the most disappointing animated films! There was a plain story that might even bore your kids, characters not worth remembering, and dialogue a tad bit too corny to consider giggling.

Absolutely atrocious.
I was reading one of the lines for a review by Scott Bowles of USA today and it sums up perfectly what I think of Alpha and Omega.

O.K I will
this movie is a pile of **** dialouge ,atrocious acting, disgusting premise and chemistry.
The **** lamest jokes I have ever heard AND...
The WORST animation, style, and art style of ANY movie I have ever seen. Animated or not.
This is like Delgo level animation.I almost did not want to watch this movie because of it's awful animation. You truly have to see this to believe it. Characters are unlikable lumps of **** with goofy dreamworks faces slapped on to them and it looks like the movie was half done. Don't take your kids to see this. Buy them Toy Story 3 on Blu-Ray instead so they can see true artistic beauty.
This movie is no even close to that.… Expand
