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

San Francisco ChroniclePeter 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

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

The Hollywood ReporterSheri Linden
Abounding in dumb jokes that kids are bound to like but sometimes too scary for very young viewers, the movie -- also going out in 2D -- takes too long to find its footing and at best is proficient, not exhilarating. Read full review

Boxoffice MagazineAmy Nicholson
Parents with restless, animal-loving children may as well throw it a bone. Read full review

Entertainment WeeklyAdam Markovitz
Underwhelming in the style of most off-brand CG, Alpha and Omega is livened by pretty Rocky Mountain backdrops and leadened by stock characters and the wolves' weirdly prissy behavior. Read full review

The New York TimesMike Hale
This talking-animal tale - has old-fashioned backgrounds that occasionally achieve a touch of grandeur, but that's about the best that can be said for it. Read full review

Time OutNick 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

Arizona RepublicRandy 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

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

Orlando SentinelRoger Moore
As with any movie, this kids' film is only as good as its writing - the jokes, the cute bits, the heart. And that's where Alpha and Omega comes up short. Read full review

USA TodayScott Bowles
Alpha and Omega is one of those rarities in the modern era of Hollywood animation: bad. Read full review

Austin ChronicleKimberley Jones
The 3-D angle is the only one I can identify to justify Alpha and Omega not going straight to DVD. Read full review

L.A. WeeklyVadim Rizov
This is a shameless mélange of plot elements from already generic Disney knockoffs. Read full review

Washington PostMichael 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
