Owl House...
Not long ago, I began watching The Owl House on the
Disney Channel...
Meanwhile, back in the Human world, Luz's mother has no idea what sort of trouble her little girl has gotten herself into. I would like to see some sort of story that addresses this and perhaps makes it possible for Luz to continue her studies with her mother's, albeit reluctant, blessing. But, at he time of this writing, with ten episodes broadcast and Luz enrolled in a Harry Potter-style witch school, I don't yet see how this is going to end well for Luz.
Setting aside the whole issue with Luz's mother, the Owl House, is fast-paced, funny and entertaining. Eda has some rough edges and does things in her own way, but, at her core, she is a good and caring mentor for Luz. Now, King, on the other hand, can be a bit of a jerk at times, but, he is loyal and faithful to his friends. The only thing that I find disconcerting about King, is that the actor who voices King, Alex Hirsch, also voiced the evil character, Bill, from Gravity Falls. And, so, every time I hear King speak, I think of Bill.
The Owl House
is a funny and inventive series that touches on the importance of friendship and
family. There are things that go bump in the night, but, most demons are not
truly evil. Rather, they're just doing what comes naturally to demons. So, while
there may be a few scary moments in the series, such as when Eda isn't herself,
the series as a whole, manages to maintain a fairly sweet and hopeful tone
throughout. Overall, while I do have some concerns about how the Human world, in
particular, Luz's mother, is going to react to Luz's current situation,
nonetheless, I enjoyed the series as a whole. I would give the
Owl House a 3 out of 5.
The Owl House follows the exploits of Luz, as she studies to be a witch in the land of the Boiling Isles under the instruction of Eda, a witch and a free spirit who makes a living selling oddities collected from the Human world. Early in the series, we find that Luz is somewhat of a free spirit herself who has a fascination with fantasy stories and her dream is to become a witch. When Luz stumbles into the demon realm, she's offered the opportunity to return home and be "safe", but, of course, then there wouldn't be a need for more episodes of the series, so, naturally, Luz is going to run away from home into the demon realm.Self-assured teenager Luz stumbles upon a portal to a magical realm where she befriends a rebellious witch, Eda, and a tiny warrior, King; despite not having magical abilities, Luz pursues her dream of becoming a witch by serving as Eda's apprentice.
