Trailer
Story: Can an Omega fall in love with an Alfa in the wolves' pecking order? No. So trouble brews when they actually do. Do these howlers hop across the class divide?

Movie Review: This one's quite indeterminate. Neither cute enough for kids, nor smart enough for adults, the wolfish affair has nothing much to offer to anyone. Both Alfa and Omega aren't hero material: a mandatory fact for animation fables.

Despite fighting a class war and sharing a few popsicle moments in their flight from a national park in Idaho to the minus-human wilds, the wolves don't have too much of a story to tell. Also, there's hardly anything to justify the 3-D tag. Actually all this 3-D business is getting quite tiresome, what with stained, heavy and headachy goggles, pressing down your nose for no reason at all
