“Alpha and Omega” (Rated G, 88 minutes): This film, an unambitious 3-D animation about young wolves in love, isn’t so much bad as it is boring.

The story concerns Kate (voice of Hayden Panettiere), a rising alpha female in a Canadian wolf pack who’s destined to be paired off with Garth (Chris Carmack), the rising alpha male of a rival pack. The food source is becoming scarce, and the two packs’ elders, Winston (Danny Glover) and Tony (the late Dennis Hopper), have agreed to unite their kingdoms. But Humphrey (Justin Long), an omega wolf at the other end of the social hierarchy, likes Kate. He’s a goofball, and she’s a queen in the making. Then Humphrey and Kate are captured by humans, who truck them off to Idaho to repopulate a park there.

Contains some gluteocentric humor, the threat of violence and roundabout discussion of wolf reproduction. DVD extras: deleted scene, four featurettes, a log sliding interactive game, an “Are You an Alpha or an Omega?” personality test, and a animal fun facts trivia challenge.
