Wait, I remember a friend telling me how someone from Pixar, or perhaps some sort of big, animation studio, was fired after it was revealed that they made this CGI poorly-edited Alpha and Omega porn. I may post it here if I could find it, but this is the sort of shit this fanbase is made out of.
Update: I fucking found it after a second of searching
The name of the artist, for records sake, is oystercatcher7.
Edit: Just for the record, this isn't my claim, I just remembered this story from a friend telling me over Skype or something a couple year back. Hell, this maybe the wrong guy, but this sort of style is identical to what that friend described. So yes, don't shoot the messenger.
I'm glad furries are ruining this newer movie that sounds super lame anyways and not something more significant that some of us would be nostalgic for, like Balto.
... Please tell me you're joking, before this shit there was the Balto "fandom" of these weird losers and there was some weird shit there. Gods, I was trying to forget that part of the Internet existed.
Why are wolves so overrated, and so bound to attract autism? People look up to them as some badass beasts with loyal packs and shit, and the autistics can't stop worshipping every aspect of theirs, from looks to debunked pack dynamics. If you really want some kinship and action just start a gang with other autist kids, rob a market stall and resell stolen bikes, that may seem immoral and dangerous, but it's still way better than watching direct to DVD films.
This is just speculation and a bit of decade-dead wolfaboo knowledge on my part, but I think it comes from both a superficial fondness of the wilderness, the familiarity of wolves (because they're just the final boss of doggos, right? Right?) and the fact that they have/had cultural relevance. Around the time I was goofing around about wolves online, Wolf's Rain and Inuyasha were still active communities.
Wolves are social animals, which is a simple enough observation to allow a congregation of kids to project their friend group onto them. Most social groups have their kinda-leader-guy (or couple, even), and then the others in a nebulous pecking order. They also happen to be just exotic enough for the average kid (who probably hasn't seen a wolf -- even at the zoo -- in his/her entire life) to get mythologized in their mind. They tough it out in the wild, work with their friends all day, and don't go to school. Awesome.
Sure, they also typically die in he wild at the same age a human finishes second grade, and they're just doggos incapable of the higher thought that kids use to justify how awesome they are, but wolfaboos don't actually think real wolves are the mythical badasses of the forest/tundra/moon or wherever else: They just use the wolf as a template to give form to their own fantasies. Same with the Warriors cat franchise, or dragons, or anything, really. I don't know anybody I still keep in touch with that maintained their fixation with wolves beyond middle/high school, but I imagine:

It's weird how the mediocre movie about the wolf equivalent of Romeo and Juliet got such a following let alone one that remained patient with the increasingly shitty sequels.
Probably forgot some details, but the movies are shit and life is too short.
Movie one- Mediocre movie that tried to tell a version of Romeo and Juliet, or a version written by someone who didn't get the point of the source material and made them wolves for no reason.
Movie two- Pointless Christmas special that has a kidnapping for some reason. One of the villains gets a redemption arc, and the movie ends with the main characters far away from home in a gas station.
Movie three- Pointless sports movie that for some reason needs to be an allegory for the Sochi winter olympics. Big bad is stereotypical evil coach with daddy issues; also special needs bear with tard rangler porcupine. Movie has an audio error where there's a loud screech. Daughter pup ties with evil coach son because "everyone is winner"
Movie four- Pointless halloween movie that focuses on wolf pup helping a disabled wolf and there's a spoopy wind creature because why not?
Movie five- Another pointless vacation movie that is mostly made of clips. Some of the clips contradict what really happened because only idiots bought and watched the movies. Main cast needs to escape trappers and really creepy shit happens with an implied wolf pup/porcupine threesome relationship.
Movie six- Not sure what they were trying to do with this one. Pointless movie about the main cast moving to "wolfburbia" because a copy/paste character wants to make a golf course on a nature reserve; rip off barney and t-rex happen because the writers were on something.
Movie seven- Completely boring; everything is covered in snow and animation is lazier. The main two wolves have to be rescued by their pups because they're too stupid to find their missing source of food. Also villains from movie two are back for no reason. Tard bear from movie five is back for no reason.
Movie eight- Barely fits with the other movie as it focuses on a princess bear that defies her mother to help save the bear kingdom. For some reason the movie needs to throw a lot of popculture references in for no reason.
I now know the existence of both, and I don't know what sickens me more. The shitty CGI anime wolf trash or the rabid horny fanbase with their dicks out for their 3D dog waifus.
I remember seeing acommercial for this. As in one and once. This was about a decade or so ago and I immediately thought "this looks like garbage and something that furries will latch on to forever." Somehow I'm both glad and disappointed to discover my prediction had come true ten years later.
Two years ago a young girl around 12 became friends with me, I added her on steam and saw her posting her wolf character, I immediately snapped at her and said she was going to go down a difficult path because cringy 10 year old me was into that shit. Yeah sue me, I read Jack London novels and liked them.
Anyway I talked to her and said my piece, but she kind of shrugged her shoulders and continued being a wolfaboo posting her Alpha Omega OCs on Steam and Roleplay Forums.
y'all saying Balto is better, you guys are posers, go read Call of the Wild you fakers.
If you only knew (I stayed out of that though, thankfully it stopped after two sequels).
Really, the real culprit in all this was Lionsgate decided to follow Universal's lead here in sequalizing one of their (practically only) animated property that just happen to rake in the home video dough (Land Before Time at least had an excuse for actually being a good film 30 years ago, not counting the fact the last sequel might as well be their equivalent of a "20th Anniversary Special").
oh jesus i remember this fucking movie and how awful it looked.
i think i saw it in theaters???
but yeah the fandom is awful and filled with fucking hilarious recolors/edits
If you actually watched them he just got more and more annoyed with the fanbase as he went on to the point of directly making fun of them and telling him that it's his opinion on the movie and not theirs, so they need to stop having their panties in a bundle. Dude wasn't appeasing them, he was simply making fun of them with the Wolfabob thing. Dude isn't free of the occasional cringe and 'tism, but from what I saw, he was fed up with the A&O fandom after the first or second movie review.
... Please tell me you're joking, before this shit there was the Balto "fandom" of these weird losers and there was some weird shit there. Gods, I was trying to forget that part of the Internet existed.
Nope, none that I can think of, a lot of this is new to me simply because the farthest I got was the Bobsheaux reviews. That's enough for me to digest. It's fascinating they could even do sequels at all given the crappy scripts they write (apparently death happens off-screen that simply gets waved away).

See, they just get worse and worse. It's almost like they simply don't care as long as they have something that passes for "electric babysitter" fodder.

I remember when the first movie came out, and seeing some sort of ad for it, and being horrified that people would take their children to a movie that was so obviously about sex. Even in the trailer it was clear that "howling" meant "would have sex with." I can't remember how old I was, but obviously it was some peak of sanctimonious about parenting: probably a teenager. But seriously, a kids movie where the main characters fall into romance at the end is one thing, but this was an entire kids movie about fucking. What sicko thought of this kind of grooming shit?

That's not CGI. I don't know where that "Pixar" thing came from when it's very clearly edited porn, and poorly done edited porn at that.
It's so lazily done. Take a real image, cut out the actor, put in a color overlay, and he either slapped on an image of fur that he overlayed, or used a literal default brush in Photoshop which replicates fur. Then just cut out a still of the character's head and you have a complete image in maybe an hour if you know what you're doing (which I doubt the creator does). Zero effort goes into making convincing shading or texture so he somehow makes it look like an awful Poser model despite it being created with an actual image reference. For god's sake, look at how awful the quality of the heads are compared to the rest of the image.
I guess the creator wanted the viewer to feel aroused or impressed? Because when I look at this I mostly feel confused because I don't understand how a wolf covered in fur can somehow still have pubic hair on top of their normal hair.

Who knows. The fact the first movie happened at all must've been a miracle at all to just get made. I know they felt real smug about it as they did one of those odd deals in the end credits in showing preliminary artwork, storyboards and whatever else left around just to show what 'real work' went into this.
One of the lines I recall hearing from the trailer basically summed that point up: "We're from two different packs. We can run together, but that doesn't mean we howl together"
