Alphas are forbidden to marry "omega wolfs," who are kind of the artist-entertainer types of the wolf pack. This is a problem when Kate develops feelings for the fun-loving Humphrey (voice of JUSTIN LONG) and Garth falls in love with Kate's omega-wolf sister, Lilly (voice of CHRISTINA RICCI). Kate and Humphrey are then thrust together when both are tranquilized by trappers and transported to a wildlife preserve in Idaho. This gives Garth and Lilly time to get to know each other.
Meanwhile, Tony plans to take over both packs by force when he thinks that Kate has ran off and shirked her responsibilities. Kate's mom, Eve (voice of VICKI LEWIS), spurs her husband on to prepare for war. Meanwhile, two golf-loving birds, Marcel (voice of LARRY MILLER) and Paddy (voice of ERIC PRICE), agree to help Humphrey and Kate make the long journey back to their forest.
Violence consists largely of cartoon wolves attacking each other, leading to tussle-style fights. One wolf bears a wound after an off-screen fight, but otherwise there is no blood. However, scenes and moments of potential peril are present throughout and will likely be unsettling and/or suspenseful for various viewers. These include two separate caribou stampedes, an attack and chase involving three large bears, and a potentially deadly mudslide.
Bad attitudes are present, as is some potentially imitative behavior, tense family material and various thematic elements.

For those prone to visually induced motion sickness, all sorts of camera movement (often quite bouncy, including point of view) occurs throughout the film. There is also a thunderstorm with lightning that creates a momentary strobe effect. The film is also presented in 3-D in many theaters, and the animators take several occasions to have objects seemingly "fly off the screen."
