What to Know

Critics Consensus

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

John Walsh Independent (UK) 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.) Rated: 2/5 Oct 22, 2010 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian Here is a pleasant, undemanding animated family comedy - decent enough, but it feels like a reshuffling of dozens of films you've seen before. Rated: 2/5 Oct 21, 2010 Full Review Empire Magazine A poorly written and disappointingly animated adventure that may keep the wee'uns happy for a while but will leave the adults snoozing. Rated: 2/5 Oct 20, 2010 Full Review Rene Jordan El Nuevo Herald (Miami) This piece of child entertainment is a visual delight and not a punishment for the accompanying adults. [Full review in Spanish] Jul 14, 2022 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com Alpha and Omega is a fun filled animated comedy adventure. Rated: 2.5/4.0 Sep 1, 2020 Full Review Victoria Luxford The National (UAE) 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. Rated: 2/5 Aug 30, 2011 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member While this movie may not have been up to par with other 2010 films, it's still a fun watch, especially for kids. The animators, artists, musicians, etc... put their all into this movie, and you can definitely feel the passion that went into it. • Character designs and animation: The character's expressions and movements are animated very well, it's such a treat to watch them interact with their environments and each other. While some of the characters designs seem odd at first, over time they'll grow on you. The contrast of the Alpha's to the Omega's designs are very nice, with the Alpha's being more regal and broad, and the Omega's being more scrawny and rugged. I love how different every wolf looks from each other, no two look the same. The animation, while on a lower budget, still looks pretty great. • Characterization: A very nice contrast between the Alpha's and Omegas, much like their designs. The Alpha's are very noble, serious, and strong, in contrast to the Omega's- who are relatively unserious, playful, and kind-hearted. Humphrey, though an Omega at heart, cares deeply about Kate and the pack. • Story: The story is similar to Romeo and Juliet, a love that is forbidden from differences- but there's still a lot of aspects that keep it pretty fresh. The humor is aimed more at kids, of course, but there are some clever adult jokes thrown in. While Alpha and Omega wolves do not exist in the wild, • Music: The music is absolutely phenomenal. Chris Bacon did a fantastic job with this film, especially with the howling sequences. Love Train, no matter how many times I watch it, I always get goosebumps listening to it. From a personal standpoint, this movie got me through some very tough times as a kid, and I would watch it every day for years. The story, animation, characters, music, etc... was such a treat to see, it warmed my heart so much. And now, as an adult, watching this movie feels like visiting an old friend. It still brings me that same warmth I felt as a kid. I absolutely adore this movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/21/24 Full Review NyTimes R Underrated film. It’s good and my kids absolutely love it. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/22/24 Full Review Nickolas K This is okay movie but the animation itself was something else... Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/06/24 Full Review Sophie H It’s so good! The animation is beautiful and the wolves look so realistic. The plot is really interesting and creative and all the characters are so good. I love all the jokes, they were so funny. The howling seen is my personal favourite- 🤩 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/13/24 Full Review Humphrey K Alpha and Omega is an absolute masterpiece that brings tears to the eye, especially because I want to bang the white wolf. The other characters I would also like to rail are the fat wolf from the beginning, the biker man, and the duck and the goose (at the same time). I had wet dreams for a month after viewing. I was a boy when I started this movie, but I have emerged a man. I showed my wife's boyfriend this film, and by the end of it well lets just say we weren't watching for the plot anymore. My disabled grandfather watched this movie and stood up for the first time in 30 years to give a standing ovation. He then immediately threw himself down the stairs and broke his neck because he knew his life had peaked. After I watched this movie, I saw a vision from another timeline. Alpha and Omega was first presented at a UN conference and there was world peace ever since. I truly cannot put into words just how much this movie changed my life. I hope Humphrey and Kate have a long and happy marriage, unlike my parents. In the name of Dennis hopper, Garth, and Stinky, Amen. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/05/24 Full Review 9mm S It's still a fun classic to revisit, despite many negative comments about it, for a 2010 animation and the resources they had, it was decent for It's time...and still is!
