Freddy Lupin is a young boy who belongs to a family of werewolves. In the 2020 animated film “100% Wolf,” Freddy transformed for the first time and discovered that at night he does not take the expected form of a wolf, but rather a white and pink poodle. What a shame! After proving himself a hero in the first part, Freddy still has trouble with his appearance in the sequel “200% Wolf,” as he fears he will never receive the respect of the pack.
Freddy wants to prove his leadership skills during a rescue mission for a zeppelin that has gone out of control, but the plan goes horribly wrong. So he illegally calls on the moon spirits for help. The baby moon spirit Moopoo is willing to help Freddy and uses his light powers to ensure that the little poodle suddenly turns into a majestic teenage wolf. However, the mini spirit falls to earth and is soon in danger of becoming extinct.

Freddy, along with his best friend, the stray dog Batty, and his gang, must find a way to send Moopoo back quickly. The disgraced Max seems to be the only possibility. She once tried to steal the powers of the moon spirits. Now she lives in the forest with many animals that she has bewitched. Freddy must quickly gain Max's trust in order to find the right magic spell to save Moopoo.
Freddy's Adventures is based on the children's book series by Jayne Lyons, a Liverpool-born author now living in Australia, which was released in 2009. As in the previous film, Australian director Alexs Stadermann and his creative team create a world full of bright colors to bring Lyons' stories to the screen. However, this cosmos is often too frenetic. Sometimes some characters and plot elements are lost because the production does not always take the time to carefully develop them. As a result, some developments seem rather stereotyped; They come too quickly and are soon overshadowed by other things.
The strength of 200% Wolf lies once again in the original character design. The little moon spirit Moopoo, who finds himself in some sort of alien situation, is as charming an addition as the big purple bat that Batty has to deal with in the woods. The slightly dimwitted sniffer dog Hamish, whose nose isn't 100% reliable, is also a likeable supporting character. It's fun to see the animal heroes go about their task and get the familiar but certainly timeless message that it's not about completing a rescue mission alone (and looking heroic as a result), but about coming together as a community.
