There are good animations. There are bad animations. There are schmaltz-y animations. And there are cheesy animations. Between these categories, Alpha and Omega falls into 'bad' and 'cheesy' categories. Since the animal-movie genre hit Hollywood, the same plot lines have been used over and over again, but seldom do you see all of the clichés consolidated into one movie. Kate's mother was on the verge of psycho. Kate was the very embodiment of the ideal mate, while Humphrey (REALLY? HUMPHREY?) is the exact opposite. From the first twenty minutes of the movie, you can tell exactly what is going to happen and what order it's going to happen in. One of the redeeming qualities might have been the animation, except that everything behaves as if it's made of foam rubber. As said previously, the colors are nice, but in no way make up for the train wreck that was this movie. If Lionsgate managed to screw what could (should!) have been a good movie up this badly, I shudder to think about what The Hunger Games will be like.
