I’m boycotting this for you excluding Archimedes, the owl from Sword in the Stone!
I never saw this until a few years ago, just missed it somehow as a kid so I watched it one day. For a cartoon owl, I feel they nailed the attitude pretty well with this guy.
Next year you should do a full out fictional owl bracket. That would be cute and v fun
With all these extra owls that people are posting I just might. I didn’t realize I’d left so many out.
Owl from Winnie the Pooh vs Hedwig from Harry Potter
Vote here for Owl
Owl is an anthropomorphic owl who first appeared in Disney’s animated short Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree. Owl’s character is based on the stereotype of the “wise old owl”, though his “wisdom” is sometimes questionable.
Bubo the Owl from Clash of the Titans vs Mr. Owl from Tootsie Pops
Vote here for Mr. Owl
In the original television ad, a questioning boy (voiced by Buddy Foster) proposes the question to a cow (voiced by Frank Nelson), a fox (voiced by Paul Frees), a turtle (voiced by Ralph James) and an owl (voiced by Paul Winchell). Each one of the first three animals tells the kid to ask someone else, explaining that they would bite a Tootsie Pop every time they lick one. Eventually, he asks the owl, appearing wise, who offers to investigate. He starts licking the orange Tootsie Pop, but bites into it after only three licks. The child walks away, saying to himself, “If there’s anything I can’t stand, it’s a smart owl.” The commercial ends the same way, with various flavored Tootsie Pops unwrapped and being “licked away” until being crunched in the center with Herschel Bernardi asking, “How many licks does it take to get to the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie pop? The world may never know.”
Wow, nothing about Bubo? My man got the eye from the witches, saved Perseus, and helped him defeat the Kraken. He’s a hero. Mr. Owl just ate some candy.
Bubo’s entry is farther down the comments. He currently only has one upvote so if you would like to support him send some love his way.
Bubo the Owl from Clash of the Titans vs Mr. Owl from Tootsie Pops
Vote here for Bubo
Bubo was forged by Hephaestus and sent by Athena to aid Perseus in his quest to save the princess Andromeda in the original 1981 film.
After losing Athena’s helmet in Calibos’ swamp, Zeus orders Athena to give Perseus her owl, Bubo, as a replacement. She refuses, but agrees to have Hephaestus build a clockwork copy of Bubo to aid Perseus on his quest. Bubo helps him overcome numerous enemies, but not without a little fumbling on his part…
Bubo is my go to, I can’t even help it, it’s just involuntary at this point. I watched that so much as a kid and plenty times more as an adult.
Vote here for Hooty from the Owl House (he also barges in when he wasn’t included)
