History WesternAnimation / AlphaAndOmega

* BeautifulAllAlong: After failing miserably to hit the intended target during a hunting exercise, Lilly tries to hide away from Garth in shame. Garth, figuring her PeekABangs are the reason she missed, brushes her hair out of her face and is wowed by how beautiful her eyes are. Following this, Lilly becomes far more confident.

* PeekABangs: Kate's sister, Lilly.

* OverprotectiveDad: Humphrey gets into this role to a degree when he catches onto the growing attraction between Claudette and Fleet. He immediately yells at Claudette that she's forbidden to date until she's "[her] grandma's age", embarrassing the poor girl (and Kate, who watches on). That Humphrey is also coaching her and Fleet is also on the rival team do not help matters.

* BearsAreBadNews: Trailers depict Kate and Humphrey being cornered by a group of bears, subverted as they are apparently weak enough to be beaten up by wolves. However, it's a case of NeverTrustATrailer. [[spoiler: It takes a lot of trickery and even more luck, and even then they only get away by the skin of their teeth. And aside from Kate's remark hinting at SuicidalOverConfidence.]] Also, according to Wiki/TheOtherWiki, [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gray_Wolf#Relationships_with_other_predators evidently wolves can sometimes win]] against Bears, "Depending on context". 'Course, given the situation shown in the film: yeah, they'd be in trouble.

''Alpha And Omega'' focuses on two wolves on opposite ends of their pack's social order. Kate is an Alpha, who takes her job seriously, and Humphrey is an Omega, who spends his days joking around with his friends. Kate is [[ArrangedMarriage to be married to]] Garth, an Alpha wolf from another pack - not for love, but to preserve peace. However, the marriage is put on hold when Kate and Humphrey are sedated and taken a thousand miles away from home, to... repopulate. They must work together to [[TheresNoPlaceLikeHome get back home]], but falling in love with each other complicates everything. To make matters worse, it's a RaceAgainstTheClock - back home, conflict is brewing among rival packs...

* AbsenteeActor: Lilly, Garth, Tony, Winston, and Eve do not appear. Their absence receives a HandWave in saying that the Alphas all went on an extended hunt. (Although this still doesn't explain why Lilly isn't present.) Kate, however, shows up in the final ten minutes.

* AbsenteeActor: Once again, the "extended hunting" excuse is used to explain Garth's absence.

* WouldHurtAChild: The Head Wolf [[MoralEventHorizon tried to kill Daria when she was cub]]. 'Nuff said.

* ArtisticLicenseBiology: Among other things, [[http://www.4pawsu.com/alphawolf.pdf "alphas" and "omegas" are not considered valid wolf pack terminology anymore]].

* KnightOfCerebus[=/=]VileVillainSaccharineShow: While he is a CardCarryingVillain in many respects, King is the darkest antagonist in the series (along with the Head Wolf of ''Legend'') due to his [[TheSocialDarwinist Social Darwinist]] mindset, [[AdultFear abduction of a pup]] to draw out and kill the Alphas of his pack, and his [[WouldHurtAChild willingness to kill said child]] [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness once he's no longer useful]].

* AdultFear: The plot is kicked off when Runt is kidnapped by the Rogue Wolves, prompting Kate and Humphrey (as well as everyone else) to frantically search for him.

* TranquilizerDart: Kate and Humphrey are hit with these.

* FlashbackWithTheOtherDarrin: Kate and Humphrey recall the times from the first film when they were hit by {{Tranquilizer Dart}}s and escaped onto the train, complete with Kate Higgins and Ben Diskin redubbing their dialogue.

* FlashbackWithTheOtherDarrin: Kate and Humphrey recall the times from the first film when they were hit by {{TranquilizerDart}}s and escaped onto the train, complete with Kate Higgins and Ben Diskin redubbing their dialogue.

* FlashbackWithTheOtherDarrin: Kate and Humphrey recall the times from the first film when they were hit by tranquilizer darts and escaped onto the train, complete with Kate Higgins and Ben Diskin redubbing their dialogue.

* UnfortunateNames: What kind of parent would name their kid ''Stinky'' or ''Runt''? This also is a bit weird considering that the wolves tend to have common human names, rather than descriptor-based ones.

[[quoteright:214:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/aao_3865.PNG]]

A computer-animated film released by Creator/LionsGate and produced by Creator/RichardRich and Crest Animation, in Fall 2010.

For the series of urban fantasy books named ''Alpha and Omega'' by Patricia Briggs, see ''Literature/MercyThompson''.

* ParentalNeglect: Kate and Humphrey through out the sequels are shown to be pretty irresponsible parents as they are constantly unaware of their young pups' activity and often don't correct them in their bad behavior; which is made more jarring since it's never acknowledged.

* BigThinShortTrio: Shakey, Salty and Mooch.

* CuteClumsyGirl: Lilly.

* [[GranolaGirl Granola Girls]]: Reba and Janice, the vegetarian she-wolves.
-->'''Humphrey''': It's Spring! Whoa, look who's back from alpha school.
-->'''Salty''': Forget about it Humphrey, Kate's an Alpha now, and you're an Omega.
-->'''Humphrey''': We're friends, ok?
-->'''Mooch''': Exactly, just friends, end of story.
-->'''Salty''': You better set your sites over there: Reba and Janice, the "veggie-tarians".

* PluckyComicRelief: In universe, this is the Omega's actual job. Humphrey and his fellow Omegas tend to break up fights and generally keep everyone's spirits up. Kate's father even tells Humphrey when he's a pup that this is his responsibility and holds him in high regard for being good at it.

* RuleOfCool: Wolves with AnimeHair? Check. Wolves that can do triple flips in the air? Check. Wolves that can howl at the moon as if they are singing? Oh, double check. Since real howling for wolves has meaning, the singing might not be ''completely'' RuleOfCool.

* BigBadDuumvirate: The trackers that pursue the wolves for the potential money they can make off of them-especially the cubs

* ContinuitySnarl: A minor yet strange example is in a flashback to the first movie, where Humphrey is being chased around in the sky with the birds and collides with the moose in the stream. In the original movie, Humphrey collides with the moose's antlers, while in the flashback version, he collides with the moose's butt ([[ToiletHumor complete with a fart sound effect]]) and falls into the river.

* ToiletHumor: Brent the bear has to pee and [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext everyone sings a song about peeing]].
* TrojanHorse: Kate, Humphrey, and their pups try to sneak past the humans tracking them with a hollow log covering them. They're forced to abandon it after they nearly get caught by the trackers.

* AintTooProudToBeg: Frieda and Fran withhold information regarding Runt's whereabouts, until they decide to do so on the condition that Kate and Humphrey beg. Being her dignified Alpha self, Kate refuses. [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments Humphrey, on the other hand...]]

[[folder:''Alpha and Omega: Dino Digs'']]
* MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext: The ENTIRE movie.
* OnlySaneMan: Humphrey calls out several references.
* ReferenceOverdosed: There are several references to moving to an apartment complexes and other things.

A direct-to-video sequel (the first of four planned), ''Alpha and Omega 2: A Howl-iday Adventure'', was released Oct 8, 2013, and introduces Humphrey and Kate's pups: Stinky and Claudette, the alphas, and Runt, an omega. Despite the subtitle, the film barely involves holiday overtones and focuses more on everyone's attempts at rescuing Runt from King, a SocialDarwinist wolf determined to take the territories for himself. The next, ''The Great Wolf Games'', released March 25, 2014, concerned the cubs' participation in the eponymous sporting event in a RagtagBunchOfMisfits (particularly Claudette who connects with a rival team's leading cub Fleet). On October 7, 2014, ''Legend of the Saw Tooth Cave'' released on DVD. This time Runt decides to help a she-wolf named Daria who was chased out of her pack when she was young. As of 2017, seven sequels have been released.

* LateArrivalSpoiler: The sequels are centered around Kate and Humphrey's cubs, thus giving one an idea of how the first film turned out.

* LargeAndInCharge: The alpha wolves. More so than the omega wolves. TruthInTelevision: That's more or less how the pecking order is established by real wolves. Bear in mind that even a pathetic little omega is still plenty able to ruin the day of a squishy human if you mess with it.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: [[Radar/AlphaAndOmega Does this quite a bit, especially in the first film]].

* {{Sexophone}}: Briefly employed when Kate initially mistakes Humphrey's attempt to tell her that Runt's gone missing [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar as something else]].

* ClumsyGirl: Lilly.

* AsideGlance: After Kate's mother gives her a 'talk' about what to do if Garth gets out of line on their date (being [[AxCrazy Eve]], it involved a violent murder), Kate gives a wide eyed glance to the camera.[[note]]Actually to her father, but the way she's positioned allowed it to double as this trope.[[/note]]
