5Freddy Lupin is a young werewolf with a problem. He’s finally old enough to experience his first official transformation and become a real werewolf, but when the moonlight hits him he turns into a poodle instead. With the threat of being banished from his pack unless he can prove he’s a real wolf by sunrise, he has to evade dog-catchers, a werewolf-hunting ice cream man, and an evil uncle who wants him dead and show his worth to the pack.

13----
14!!Tropes in this film include:
15
16* AdaptationalDumbass: Bruno could speak full sentences in the book. In the movie, he's a simpleton who can only say "ball".
17* AdaptationalDyeJob: Freddy's poodle form had black fur in the original book prior to being dyed. In the movie, his poodle form is white.
18* AdaptationalWimp: In the book, Foxwell Cripp was a feared self-taught werewolf hunter who got his beliefs when he saw his neighbor turn into a wolf as a kid. In the movie, he's reimagined as a goofy ice cream man who becomes a hunter after misunderstanding Hotspur in wolf form dragging away a young Freddy (who back then was too young to transform), occasionally [[CompanionCube talking to a sock monkey]].
19* AerithAndBob: For wolf names we have Flash Heart, Hightail, Hotspur and… Freddie…
20* CanonForeigner: Twitchy was not a character in the original book.
21* DisappearedDad: At the beginning of the film, Freddy’s dad Flasheart falls off a cliff while saving Foxwell and is declared dead. [[spoiler: Turns out that's not the case.]]
22* EveryoneHasStandards: As much as the other werewolves look down on dogs, they do '''not''' agree with [[spoiler: Hotspur and Commander Mendelson's plan to kill and turn them into wigs.]]
23* DeadpanSnarker: Batty. Hardly takes Freddy seriously. Usually replies with a snarky comment if he needs her to do something for him.
24-->'''Freddy:''' I need to get to this guy, a human.
25-->'''Batty:''' Wow, excellent story.
26* EvilUncle: Lord Hotspur Lupin, who is the main enforcer of the werewolf-dog animosity.
27* FantasticRacism: Dogs fear werewolves and werewolves look down on dogs. This is one of the main reasons why Freddy becoming a poodle is seen as a problem.
28* LiarRevealed: Played with. When Freddy first meets Batty, he tries to tell her that he's human, but she doesn't buy it. At the dog pound, he accidentally reveals his werewolf heritage in front of her and the other dogs when [[spoiler: Hotspur abandons him and takes the moonstone for himself]]. This time, Batty believes him and feels betrayed.
29* MagicPants: Subverted, a werewolf's clothes vanish into thin air when they transform with a puff of smoke, but with Freddy's case at least don't return when the wolf turns back.
30* MissingMom: Freddy's mother is implied to be dead during the scene where he and Flasheart are looking up at the moon.
31-->'''Freddy:''' I wish mum was still here.
32* NeverTrustATrailer: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2NxvtrUsd0 The first teaser]] makes the movie seem like a horror-comedy portraying the werewolves as chaotic neutral at best. They're actually night vigilantes.
33** The promo material also for the most part obscures the werewolf-dog rivalry, making it seem like Freddy is only shunned because a poodle is often seen as a ridiculous breed.
34* NobleWolf: The werewolves are the unseen protectors of their town, doing nightly patrols to keep things safe.
35* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: Werewolfism is a hereditary thing here. They’re the mostly-quadrupedal kind, but can walk on two legs and grab things with their paws. They transform after a certain age, when moonlight hits them, and can be locked in their wolf form with silver collars.
36* PlotHole: The wolves apparently fear humans and don’t wish to be seen by them in their wolf form… yet at the very beginning of the movie, they’re shown actively helping them in the midst of a building fire where they’re very clearly exposed, not to mention the fact that Ms. Annie Mutton, the housekeeper, is a human who knows entirely about the werewolves' existence[[note]]That being said, in the original book Mutton ''was'' a werewolf, but a type that couldn't become a wolf, basically something like a human born from werewolves.[[/note]]. This never gets brought up again and they act as though humans are a curse to them, in addition to the fact that they had no reason TO save them in the first place.
37** Part of this change could be due to Freddy's uncle taking charge and encouraging a more distant policy after his brother disappeared.
38* PlotMandatedFriendshipFailure: After getting put in a cage with other dogs, Freddy admits to being a werewolf which causes Batty to declare that she is not friends with him anymore. She changes her mind and quickly becomes friends with him again after Freddy is put in the same cage as his father, Flasheart.
39* PoundsAreAnimalPrisons: To say that the Coldfax Pound doesn't like dogs would be an understatement.
40* PsychoPoodle: Averted for the most part, but played straight once. Freddy is usually a docile Poodle who wouldn't hurt anyone, but he goes berserk when he sees a cat.
41* UrineTrouble: Freddy unleashes this to give the dogs a distraction to escape the pound.
42* WonderfulWerewolf: Most werewolves in this movie are night vigilantes who actually help people and act as unseen protectors of their town. However, there are exceptions.
