100% Wolf

Got and watched the movie finally! It was pretty aaalright overall, like 7/10 kind of alright, the evil-wolf-bro-Scar-whatever kinda made me think of Eggman at times designwise, lol. The model quality for human characters was kinda outdated (except for the icecream man), buuuut hey the animals were more important for the movie anyway, the wolves especially looked gooooood~ x3
The biggest problem with the movie is definitely the amount of characters, they don't get enough screentime or complete their small character arcs. I watched The Incredibles a day later, aaand yeeeah the problems with 100% Wolf really shined through (in a bad way obvs). We got (with ways to fix things):
-Asshole ginger kids. They bully, they randomly decide to dye main character's hair, aaaand then they are dropped from the movie. They suddenly reappear at the end "yeah we were locked in the attic :)" There's nothing fun about the characters.
---How to fix: Kids can be and are assholes and doesn't need a specific reason IRL, buuut for a movie, make their motivation to do their bullshit clearer. I don't remember if they were the kids of the main wolf villain? But that would make alot of sense, the main wolf villain wants to keep his position as the leader, the main character's an obstacle for that. Another way to fix these characters is just to delete them lmao, worst characters in the movie
-The dog capture duo. They were given some emphasis trying to capture one of the main dogs, buuut then they were pushed back to be background characters.
---How to fix: Eeeither just give them more screentime/dialogue, or replace either one of them with the dog-wig-scientist lady I'll mention next.
-The dog-wig-scientist lady. She holds a dog kennel and plots a scheme to turn dogs into wigs with the main wolf villain (wolves hate dogs in this movie). Honestly not a bad character, she gets alot of screentime, but her own personal motivations aren't really explained... I guess her being bald is her main motivation?
---How to fix: Give her a monologue or a song or something where she makes her motivation and plot crystal clear
-The ice cream man, honestly one of the best characters in the movie. Wolves (or uh, werewolves) try to stay hidden while being sort of superheroes in a city of humans, buuut this guy witnessed a werewolf years back and has been on a hunt ever since. He also stole a moonstone thing that glows near them. Throughout the movie he picks up clues and finally finds out who the werewolves are. Pretty neat!
---How to fix: He has a weird monkey plushie thing he speaks with like crazy person. Maybe do something else? It wasn't the charming. Maybe the the plushie has a voice box instead, Buzz's "inner voice" or whatever worked well in Toy Story 4. Also, he could have some sorta rivalry or relationship with the dog-wig-scientist lady.
BASICALLY, there's too many villains and they aren't fleshed out well enough (except for the ice cream man) and it bothers me. Most of the villains are in some related to the main wolf villain, could've just simplified things or whatever. The problem kinda persists with some story elements too:
-What's the moonstone again? Just a wacky stone that glows near werewolves?
---How to fix: Make it be a key to turning into a werewolf first time around, or something. I thouuuught that was the case but whoops no it isn't! Or maybe it is??? It wasn't communicated super well. Bad MacGuffin.
-There's a scene straight from Bolt where a character teaches the main character how to be a dog. We're introduced to smell-o-vision where one can sniff and then kinda "see" what's been there, the main character sees seethrough dogs PISSING on the street, all like "wow I can smell everyone...!" It's never brought back, even tho there was a couple of spots where it would've been useful and neat.
---How to fix: Don't show it's a thing, or bring it back. I know the scent thing is just in a quick "how to be a dog" montage, but it aaalso kinda showed up earlier, when the main character first went into the city.
and uh... I think that's it for my problems really? anyway 7/10 lmao thx for listening to my ted talk pls subscribe

OP
Well damn lmao didn't know there's a series for it, thooo ofcourse there is, every midly succesful 3D animated animals movie has a series, even if said success isn't financial. Anyway yeah scrolled through a couple of episodes and checked a few clips, doesn't seem to be for me really, plus the main dad wolf didn't look as hot haha

Too bad series based on "whole-family" type cartoon series are usually really childish compared to the main movie. Because you know, adults don't watch them with their kids, so they can target the series fully to 5 year olds or something :D makes the whole thing worse
