Alpha and Omega

2010

Two young wolves at opposite ends of their pack's social order are thrown together into a foreign land and need each other to return home, but love complicates everything.

Ages 6+Source checked

Why this age? Mild animated peril, animal chases and fights, a frightening stampede, temporary injury, and romantic/social-conflict themes may trouble very young viewers, but the tone is comedic and reassuring. This is guidance, not a safety guarantee; reading level and family context may differ.
