Alpha and Omega is a 2010 American animated adventure film directed by Anthony Bell and Ben Gluck.

The film sets around two young Rocky Mountain wolves named Kate (Panettiere) and Humphrey (Long) who fall in love with each other, but are on the opposite ends of their pack.

However, when Kate and Humphrey learn that they got relocated to Idaho for repopulation, they must work together to get back to Jasper National Park before a war slowly begins to emerge between both packs.

The film eventually turned into a franchise of 7 direct-to-video sequels including Alpha and Omega 2: A Howl-iday Adventure, which was released on October 8, 2013.

Meanwhile, young Alpha wolf Kate practices her hunting skills on her younger Omega sister, Lilly.

They decide that Kate should marry Tony's Alpha son, Garth, to unite the packs, and meet tonight at the Moonlight Howl.

Kate and Humphrey learn that they were relocated to repopulate the species, and agree that they must return home to Jasper Park.

Lilly decides to show Garth around the Western pack's territory until Kate returns, and they begin to bond.

Climbing over the snowy mountain, Humphrey finds a grizzly bear cub, and plays with it as Kate scouts ahead.

As the train passes by Jasper, Kate and Humphrey's exchange of feelings is cut short by the sight of the two packs at war.

At the Moonlight Howl, the wolves celebrate the love of Kate and Humphrey, and Garth and Lilly, breaking the social classes and traditions.
