Plot
Due to a upcoming wolf games that every alpha pup is participating, Claudette wants to participate and brings alone her siblings and 2 new friends. During a race, she meets another alpha pup named Fleet who they start falling for each other but she finds out that his father has lost to Kate before and has a huge hatred towards her.
Why It's Not Great At All
- The animation is a downgrade from the previous sequel.
- Very hypocritical message. The movie tries to explain the audience that they don’t have to be “the best”, instead you should be “the best you can be”, the message can not be taken seriously since the studio clearly didn’t try that hard or “their best” to make this movie, since it has a lot of animation errors, reused models with recoloring, and there is one scene where the skybox changes for a nano second and reverts back.
- The sequel ignores the events of past movies;
- In the previous movie, the main characters all end up sleeping in a gas station far from their home, however, they are back at their home without any explanation nor anyone mentioning the event.
- In the first movie, Humphrey proves himself and now the society barrier has been broken and every wolf can now participate in anything in their packs regardless of their current ranking, but in The Great Wolf Games, the society barrier has now returned with no explanation why.
- The movie, yet again, ends up with the characters proving themselves and breaking the society barrier, only for it to never been mentioned. Also, the new and impacting characters disappear completely in the next sequel.
- Brent is one of the new characters introduced in the movie, but was heavily panned because of how he acts. He is depicted more of a “character with disabilities” but he is shown being very loud, annoying, useless, and having ornithophobia.
- Agnes is also one of the new character, but unlike Brent, she gets very annoying at times.
- Claudette and Fleet is the worst kid couple, as there has been times when they tried to mix in drama with them, but they easily always get back together and since they’re very young (as they are still the age of a pup) they also are deeply in love with each other, which it gets very unbearable to watch in the 5th sequel. As in a kids’ movie it’s been shown that Claudette has some inappropriate desires with him in the “bush” scene.
- Nars is one of the worst and forgettable villains in the franchise. His motivation (though reasonable, yet generic) is he one time lost his match with Kate and his father abused him for not winning. The movie tries to depict him as a “abusive father who’s kids are afraid of him or/and worry about failing him”. In the end, since the race was a tie, Nars completely forgets all the backstory and his hatred towards Kate, then acts like a completely different character.
- Paddy and Marcel, like in previous films, are completely useless and they are only there to make bad jokes.
The Only Redeeming Quality
- Decent voice acting, especially by Deby Derryberry (Young BJ Blazkowicz from Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus, the titular character of Jimmy Neutron, etc).
