Okay, screw good/bad, I'm still not sure why you like the movie, Diamond Man. Let's try and get that far. Right now your defense of Alpha & Omega is stuck in this weird, self-contradictory rut of "it's original, except it's not, which is okay, too", which is technically not incorrect; I mean, not a lot of wolf-based romantic comedies out there, even if the plot beats are recycled. It could be you're just badly articulating the idea that what is well executed is often unoriginal, while what is original is often badly executed.
But if we're getting stuck on the whole "good"/"bad" axis, let's move on.
Do you like wolves? I mean, you're a furry, so that's a general assumption that's usually safe, on the one hand, but on the other, I mean, for a furry who yaps on and on and on about a movie about wolves, you'd expect "boy, I sure do like wolves" or some similar sentiment to pop up sooner or later. But I don't recall it ever happening. This would actually explain a lot; I mean, major theatrical releases starring likable anthropomorphic wolves are ... well, you basically have Alpha & Omega. Beggars can't be choosers.
Going the other way, what other movies do you like? If you're struggling to articulate your attraction to the movie, I mean, I can possibly suss out the "oh, he's a sucker for *fill in the blank*" (that's kind of the importance of my top ten lists; it's kind of obvious I'd be a sucker for furry movies, but looking at them it becomes obvious, for instance, I'm also a sucker for horror comedies and survival stories). That's why I brought up "screwball" comedies (and to answer your question about why Zootopia would be a "modern" screwball, it's because the genre proper is from the freaking thirties; anything after WWII is basically a self-aware throwback, rather than a true example of the genre as it was).
One of the many problems with arguing with you is that your still basically a cipher; I don't know why you're doing what you do. I mean, you hate Rakuen saying the designs are "flawed", but at least we know why Rakuen doesn't like the movie (he thinks the wolves look stupid); it's a subjective statement, but it's an understandable statement. I mean, when I say the movie is trite, generic and cliche, I can rattle off similar movies going back to the 30s.
Okay, now you call the characters inspiring, but what exactly did they inspire you to do (I mean, other than get angry a lot on the Internet)? Okay, you enjoyed the characters; what about them? Do they make you laugh, do they make you cry, do they make you think (and if so, about what), I mean, fuck, do they make you horny? I don't fucking know.
I mean, I fucking argue passionately about movies; I mean, ask Rakuen about the time him and Patch didn't like Mad Max: Fury Road and I did. I fucking argued, but my argument wasn't "ur bias!", it was "well, I mean, what about the politics, and ... and this scene with the milk and what that says about the character of Max and how Tom Hardy played it and the thing with the boot, that was a good setup" and if you wanted me to defend Zootopia I'd be like "watch the scene with the naked elephant doing yoga, and there's so much going on here; it's exposition but we're getting thematic elements and character elements and it's also funny and the bit where she does that sort of disgusted groan gets me every time" and even in my pan of Alpha & Omega I'm like "her hair is funny and there was apparently a joke with a bra that was funny" and I'm listing details.
You goddamn love this movie, Diamond Man! I get that. Now find something to say about it and say it!
Okay, first of all, I jinxed it.
