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 kind 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 she have her own cunning plan to avenge herself 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 characterisation 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 valued. Forgettable stuff, but it's decently animated and watchable enough.
