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.

Owl from Winnie the Pooh vs Hedwig from Harry Potter

Vote here for Hedwig

Hedwig (d. 27 July 1997) was Harry Potter’s pet female snowy owl. Hedwig was an eleventh birthday gift from Rubeus Hagrid to Harry. Hagrid purchased her at the Eeylops Owl Emporium.

In addition to delivering mail, the typical use owls are put to, Hedwig was also a close companion to Harry. She remained one of his closest friends right up to her death during the Battle of the Seven Potters at the height of the Second Wizarding War.

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.

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.

Can you believe how little screen time they gave Bubo in the remake?! The single biggest mistake they made, and by the gods, they made a few
