Luz à Osville

I only watched this sporadically, but my kids went through this series very quickly after Gravity Falls, one of their top three shows. Despite the fantastic dangers, the show over all seemed light-hearted and fun. Luz's total disappearance into a fantasy realm (of her own making?) by following a creature through a door suggests Alice in Wonderland, as does the show's total disregard for the "real world," including her mother, in favor of its creatively imaginative realms. The show also continues the reclamation of the "witch" title in global animation beginning with Kiki's Delivery Service and with many recent examples; in Owl House, what is especially noticeable is how the loner Eda becomes like a substitute mother for Luz: an intergenerational bonding of adolescent and adult witch, both misunderstood by their families.

Looking for a light-hearted and funny fantasy show? Then The Owl House is likely just what you need. The cast of characters will quickly grow on you, as they are carefully built up with great writing and many emotional moments. The humour is generally great, and most adults will likely have fun watching the show as well. Meanwhile, while the tone of the series is generally light, the stakes rapidly grow during the story, until you are incredibly invested in the outcome.

It is therefore very sad that it appears like the show will be prematurely ended by Disney. Especially in the light of the much poorer quality of recent Star Wars and MCU series. I definitely hope that somehow the show will be continued, since I would love to spend more time with the characters in the Boiling Isles.

It's more grown-up than the average Disney Channel animated series, and for the better. And if Disney just had a little more faith, then The Owl House could have the time it deserves. It deserves more eyes than it's getting, for sure. It's impressive how much it's been able to pull off with its short existence. It's shaping up to be one of Disney's best animated series in recent years, if not ever, and it's best to realize that now rather than after it's already come and gone.

Awesome Worldbuilding, really funny, Over the top Voice Acting, wonderful Character Development are just some of its merits.

HOLY SMOKES this show was I big step for Disney. The story line, and the representation. I almost thought it might keep going until Disney screwed it up and canceled it.

As a lot of the same writers and creators of the show Gravity Falls worked on this show, The Owl House still feels like it's own thing. The first season set up many mysteries and many paths the show can take, and the season rapping it up in a nice bow, but also creating new exciting potential for season 2. My only problem is an under-cooked villain (that's only my opinion) he has the menace and the callus personality, but I hope the writers can make as something as compelling as Bill Cipher and bring it all together for whatever comes next! 10/10, a show worth watching, and one of the best modern Disney shows out at the moment!
