When Freddy Lupin's wayward wish transforms him into a werewolf and deposits a mischievous moon sprite on earth, Freddy must restore the cosmic order before the earth and moon collide.. German theatrical version was cut by approx. 2.5 minutes to secure a "No age restriction" rating. The uncut version was rated "Not under 6".. Follows 100% Wolf (2020). The Great Kennel composed by Ash Gibson Greig, Andrew Craig. The pink-maned "Freddy" is more akin to a poodle than a wolf, but he is spirited when it comes to helping out his pack of lupine super-heroes who try to help out those in distress! Fed up constantly being put down, he looks skyward and makes a wish. Next thing, there’s a moon spirit "Moopoo" before him and he’s no longer a wimp. Thing is, though, his new blue friend needs life energy to survive, and so they have to find a way to repatriate him with his own child on the moon else a catastrophe will befall all of us! There's only one way to do that, and that's to find "Max" – an ostracised wolf who lives deep in the forest and who possesses the magic spell required. Off they go on their search, but will the grudge-bearing "Max" even want to help them or might they have her own cunning plan to avenge themselves on those who cast her out? It’s quite a fun family adventure this but it does struggle to find it’s audience. The very young probably won’t appreciate the sense of (tea time) menace, especially towards the end – and those a bit older will probably be put off by the initially rather childish characterization of "Freddy". It’s also probably twenty minutes too long, but as a simple light-hearted drama it does what it says on the tin, touching of the aspirations of all of us when we are young and wanting to fit in, to lead and be appreciated. Forgettable stuff, but it’s decently animated and watchable enough.
