This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Made the decision, despite not caring much at all for the first 'Alpha and Omega', to see its follow-ups (yes there is a franchise) out of curiosity and as an enormous fan of animation, would see anything regardless of critical reception. Would see anything to do with Christmas too.Anybody who disliked the first film but wants to see the rest of the franchise to see whether it gets better or not will be shocked to find that 'Alpha and Omega: A Howl-iday Adventure' (the title alone is enough to make anyone dubious) is even worse. One of the worst sequels personally seen to me and proof that 'Alpha and Omega' didn't need a sequel let alone a franchise.Let's start with the animation. The animation wasn't the best in the first film but it had its decent moments. It however is 'Toy Story' compared to the animation quality here, which is not quite Video Brinquedo, Spark Plug Entertainment or 'Foodfight' bad but almost and on the same level as 'The Swan Princess' CGI films. Blocky character designs, almost creepy expressions, very flat colours, a complete lack of fluidity in movement and less than meticulously detailed backgrounds are reminiscent of computer animation and video games in their infancy, something that one does not expect at all for 2013 even for low budget when technology as much as it has.Can say no better for the music either. None of it fits with what's going on, stylistically it feels out of place and out of kilter, it's obtrusive and it's not even good music on its own. The writing is even worse, summing up in one word it's abominable. half-baked ideas and any parts that strive to be funny or poignant instead come across as eye-rollingly cheesy or cloying.Worse are the "funny" jokes and dialogue, which are not funny at all, one groans at some of the wordplay/puns and older audiences who are children at heart whenever seeing animation (like me, one is never too old to appreciate animation and it is not strictly oriented towards kids only) will question the appropriateness of some of it.Story-wise, there is not much of one at all. 'Howl-iday Adventure' is short but feels longer thanks to plodding pacing and thin plotting. There is very little Christmas spirit either, there is no heart or charm and it all feels very mean-spirited. The characters are never engaging, they are either bland or irritating and some of them are completely pointless.Voice acting is weak all round, the first 'Alpha and Omega' at least had Hayden Panettiere giving a pretty good account of herself and Dennis Hopper. There is nobody of that calibre here, some overdo it and some act as if they weren't even trying.Overall, a howlingly bad mess. If the rest of the franchise is like this, 'Alpha and Omega' has potential to be as over-milked as 'The Swan Princess' and 'The Land Before Time' franchises. 1/10 Bethany Cox

I can't not believe this is consider a sequel.There is NO, I MEAN NO music score. If you enjoyed the Howling "tracks" in the first one your going to be hugely disappointed.The entire movie is roughly only 45Mins long.. yes we call that a TV Episode.The Dialog was just horrible.. NO real voice acting or emotion felt.. The entire move rode of all the puns and humor moments the first one crated.The animation is just not there. pay attention to the movements of the animals and objects and you'll see it for you self compared to the first one.Just no...3/10 only due to the fact I may have lol'ed at 2 or 3 lines but that was it. Its sad to say but this is one of those movies I just wish they never made in the first place.Editedone last thing.. why did they make it that Humphrey can not howl (or has a horrible one at that) when in the first move he clearly can and its really good... it was Garth that couldn't howl Right.. /sigh http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hED7g51chUs

I just watched Alpha And Omega 2. (no spoilers)Animation: 3/5 Story: 4/5 Voice Acting: 3/5Alpha And Omega 2 A Howl-iday Adventure: Though not as great as the first movie once was to me (though I still like it), it was a surprisingly decent sequel. The acting could've been better in some sequences but you can't expect much less from these new voice actors and actresses. There are also a few nostalgic moments from the first film that appear throughout the movie and they actually work well within the story. Unfortunately, there are two or three cliffhangers but hopefully will be resolved within the next sequel.A final note: Terra is probably the best new character throughout the whole story. She seems to have more character than the rest of the newbs (won't say how though).Anyway, like I said... Not a 5-star sequel but I liked it.
