Alpha and Omega 2: A Howl-iday Adventure
Alpha and Omega 2: A Howl-iday Adventure is a 2013 3D American computer-animated action comedy film. It is the sequel to Alpha and Omega and is the second installment in the franchise. Originally planned for a wide theatrical release following the success of the first film, it was released on DVD instead on October 8, 2013 nationwide and worldwide by Lionsgate, and received mixed reviews. Lionsgate re-released the film in October 7, 2014

Why It Sucks

 * 1) Similar to films like the Swan Princess Christmas and Happily N’Ever After 2, the idea of a sequel was really pointless, as the original already has a good ending where it doesn’t end on a sequel bait ending and not to mention that just like the Swan Princess franchise, Lionsgate, Crest Animation and later for the last three sequels, Splash Entertainment only made Alpha and Omega into a franchise that was milked just for money.
 * 2) Just like Crest’s current CGI films, many assents from their films are lazily recycled for this film, for example, the Star decoration that was on the gas station Clark’s Christmas tree was reused from the Royal Star in The Swan Princess Christmas, another Crest sequel involving Christmas.
 * 3) The animation, as something you’d expectedly in a Crest Animation film, is mainly downgraded compared to the first film’s mediocre animation, almost the same animation quality as the CGI Swan Princess sequels.
 * 4) This film is officially when the Alpha and Omega franchise jumped the shark since this film started focusing on the Pups, which are very annoying additions to the main cast.
 * 5) Very poor and nonsensical writing just like Crest’s other CGI films resulting in numerous plot holes.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) The voice acting is somewhat decent thanks to some voice actors such as Laura Bailey if there's no auto-tuning.
 * 2) Some characters from the first three films like Bridget aren't flanderized in this film and remand likable.
 * 3) The backgrounds looks very nice which is surprising, considering that the animation was very cheap.

Spark: A Space Tail (2016)
Spark (known as Spark: A Space Tail in the United States), is a 2016 Canadian-American-South Korean 3D computer-animated science fiction adventure comedy film written and directed by Aaron Woodley, and featuring the voices of Jessica Biel, Hilary Swank, Susan Sarandon, Patrick Stewart, Jace Norman and Alan C. Peterson. The film premiered on April 22, 2016, at the Toronto Animation Arts Festival International. It was released on April 14, 2017 in the United States by Open Road Films with distribution sold by Double Dutch International in all international markets except China and South Korea.

Why it Sucks

 * 1) To start, the film's overall plot is very generic and rather bland. And no, it doesn't do much new or interesting with the concept of a space animated film with the theme being in a similar matter to the Star Wars franchise. And the overall idea of this film has already been used in other films like Wall-E, and for course another two animated films featuring monkeys in space, Space Chimps and its infamous direct-to-video sequel, making it rip-off of those films.
 * 2) Terrible comedy with lots of bathroom humour and dated references. As it turns out, this movie was written by people behind such films as Escape from Planet Earth, Arctic Dogs (which is directed by the same director), and The Nut Job, which means this film shares the same problems as said films. Not to mention, the timing seems extremely off, as they try to make comedy by using poorly-timed sound effects or poor cartoonish reactionary shots.
 * 3) The characters are either unlikable, annoying, clichéd, obnoxious, or contribute little value to the movie or perhaps even idiotic in the bad way.
 * 4) Spark is a generic protagonist.
 * 5) Vix is the strong independent female voice of reason typed character that can be seen as a copy of Felicity Fox from Fantastic Mr. Fox since unlike the latter’s movie incarnation who is a well written strong female character thanks to her honestly tough spirited, yet kind and caring personality who isn’t afraid of scolding her husband, Foxy for his actions while deeply cared for him compared to her book counterpart, Vix comes off as a bland character who only serves to be the “strong female character”.
 * 6) Chunk is the best friend who serves as the pessimistic foil to the protagonist's more outgoing and reckless nature. And the trope he plays as the best friend who's the polar opposite of the main character has already been done before and better in films like mh:greatestmovies:Shrek and mh:greatestmovies:Meet the Robinsons, and continues to be done much better with movies like Soul.
 * 7) General Zhong is your typical generic doomsday villain.
 * 8) It is one of those films where the only selling point is the fact that lots of celebs are in the voice cast, in an attempt to attract people to the movie.
 * 9) Marketing of the film was very poor, since a lot of people were actually unaware of the movie's existence, compared to many other films that were released before this, which may explain why this movie bombed at the box office.
 * 10) Numerous plot holes, such as

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) The voice acting is pretty decent.
 * 2) As mentioned before, despise having generic backgrounds, the animation is passable job considering that the movie was animated by Toonbox Entertainment known for the Nut Job films.
 * 3) The character designs are cute, specially with Vix.
 * 4) The soundtrack is pretty entertainming to listen.
