I love this movie so much. It's really good. I highly recommend to everyone who hasn't seen this movie to check it out. Sequels are good too (except for "Journey to the Bear Kingdom" do not watch that) Overall I love A&O and its franchise!!!!!
... View MoreSince 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.
... View MoreAlpha and Omega tells the tale of two different wolf packs. One Alpha(which represents the male wolves),one called Humpery(voiced by Justin Long who is also the voice of Alvin from the Alvin & The Chipmunks franchise)and the Omegas(Female wolf pack,and Kate is in this one(voiced by Hayden Panterrie from Racing Stripes). The two somehow sorta love each other(star-crossed you can say) and they end up getting lost and team up with a goose and a bird and the two try and find there way back home.Overall there's nothing really to say about this movie. The story is bland,the animation is nice,the plot not so easy to talk about as its just about wolves getting lost and finding their way home again. Overall its an OK animated movie and im a HUGE fan of animated films,always have always will. My favourite is of course Tangled and you can say I loved Frozen too and HTTYD and The Lion King basically the list goes on. 4/10
... View MoreWhen I first saw the trailer for this movie, I was sold on it basically because I am a fan of animated dog/wolf movies, and I thought this would be another one of those movies. And I was correct. The reason Alpha and Omega has a negative reputation amongst critics is because most critics would rather watch movies that aren't animated comedies. But, being a guy who is open-minded most of the time, I don't just judge movies based on what they are. And with that said, I loved this movie.There are a few things about it that are disappointing, but those things are very VERY minor when you consider how well the plot is executed. It's a very basic plot reminiscent of Homeward Bound crossed with Balto and Lady and the Tramp 2, but it's played out well and mostly avoids being just another CGI rehash movie. The humor is also well executed, too, as the movie relies on unintentional prat falls and tasteful innuendos and bathroom jokes that actually have context. But, where this movie really shines is the character development. Kate and Humphrey have fantastic charisma that is no different than the main characters of Lady and the Tramp 2 and The Lion King, and we really get to know a lot about these characters and feel for them as the movie goes on. My personal favorite character is Lilly. This character is a really sweet character who is at first shy, but gains confidence once she starts hanging with Garth, whom she instantly falls for. Not to mention the voice acting is very well done, especially from Justin Long and Christina Ricci.So, if there is anything out there that children should be watching, it's Alpha and Omega. Sadly, Alpha and Omega isn't as a popular name as something like Lion King, but as a movie, it sure has the audacity to be as good. I recommend this movie highly.
