Next up is Kuka pelkä puudelia (2020)
The Great Kennel, composed by Ash Gibson Greig, Andrew Craig. The pink-maned "Freddy" looks more like a poodle than a wolf, but is energetic when it comes to helping his pack of lupine superheroes who are trying to help those in need! Tired of being constantly humiliated, he looks up at the sky and makes a wish.
The next thing is a moon spirit "Moopoo" before him and he is no longer a weakling
The thing is, though, that his new blue friend needs life energy to survive, and so they must find a way to get him back home to his kind on the moon, or disaster will befall us all! There’s only one way to do that, and that’s to find "Max" – an ostracized wolf who lives deep in the forest and who possesses the necessary magic spell. They set off to search, but does the spiteful "Max" even want to help them, or might he have his own cunning plan to get revenge on those who cast her out?
Forgettable stuff, but it’s decently animated and watchable enough
It’s a pretty fun family adventure, but it struggles to find its audience. The very young probably won’t appreciate the sense of (tea-time) menace, especially towards the end – and the slightly older ones 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 lighthearted drama it does what it says on the tin, tapping into the aspirations we all have when we’re young and want to fit in, lead, and be appreciated.
