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.

I'm 19 and i watch this show with my little sister and sometimes my parents join in as well.
It's such a fun show to watch, it's "made for kids" but has a plot that's suited for all ages, with characters like Eda that come and shake things up!
I love Luz and her story, how even though she was human she managed to find a way to make her dream come true, it teaches kids to be confident and to dream big and I hope we get to see more of her and the gang soon.

I'm not good at writing reviews, but i just wanted to tell that the owl house is really fascinating, the character and the story are awesome, has really cool moments that made think and have fun, also those animation are something awesome, i don't know what it is, but this cartoon has something special in my opinion, i really recommend it!
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.

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.

The animation is great and the art style is adorable, like Gravity Falls meets Hieronymus Bosch. The setting is imaginative and will definitely appeal to kids who like fantasy, i'm sure a fair few will be wishing they could have adventures on the Boiling Isles themselves. On top of this, the stories are very sweet and there's lots of good humour injected throughout all the episodes!
I think kids will really like this little fantasy romp of a series and honestly, adults will probably be able to appreciate it too, it got plenty of chuckles out of me and it really is easy on the eyes.

I thought it was going to be a typical Disney cartoon show but I was wrong. The show gets better and better with every episode. I honestly do not want the show to end.

Yeah It is pretty good. Honestly I didn't enjoy the first few episodes that much because they are a little bit on the cringier side of childish comedy and I feel like the show really hadn't found itself at that point. It does really get better the highlights of the first season being probably the last few and the 2nd season is remarkably better than the first. There are a few misses here and there but %80-90 of the episodes in season two are consistently really good. For most people this would be something you could watch with your kids but it has aspects similar to gravity falls where you could just watch it yourself as an adult and you would be fairly entartained.

Its a fairly modern supernatural themed adventure, chock full of all the melodrama and monsters, out of place eyeballs, and occult themes in a near PG 13 setting that anyone could get behind.
I would have liked watching it as a kid, and its nice to see a good story with female main characters for a change in the current era.
Clearly its meant to replace shows like Gravity Falls with its constant references to single eyes and usage of Owls as esoteric symbols, but everybody knows the world is run by a quasi secretive cabal of wealthy "elitists" behind the scens...hell they flaunt their power all over right in front of peoples faces. But w/e. It all seems minor in place and the show is good enough that even with recycled gags cartoons have been using for decades, at least its not crummy ol spongebob. Man THAT show sucks.
It focuses heavily on what its about and I see less and less stuff that I hate as time goes on. Pretty enjoyable for most anyone. Well over 7 out of 10

The show has great animation, and the LGBTQ+ rep is amazing, and literally made me tear up at the sight of it on Disney channel, which is something I wish I could have seen as a kid.
That's really all the good I have to say. I love other cartoons that are supposedly similar in quality, and I hear practically everyone say this is the best animated show ever made (I've even seen it rivaled with many extremely well-done and popular shows), and... I don't really get the appeal. I understand that the show was cut short, and the creator had to consolidate for this, but a lot of aspects of the show are either extremely messy or just not well done.
The writing of the show is pretty weak, and feels like it came straight out of a Wattpad fanfic. The pacing of the show is all over the place. The humor falls flat the majority of the time, and has a very 2014, outdated style to it, often making me cringe. A lot of the characters are really weak and cliche / tropey, and their entire character boils down to one personality trait.
I can understand why some people would like the show, but I don't understand the obsession the fandom has with it. It seems like everyone praises every single thing this show has ever done. What prompted me to write this review in the first place was I saw a post with 100k likes saying that Hunter had a better character arc than Zuko from Avatar. If anything this shows fanbase just feels like proof that media literacy is dead.

There are so many animations today yet only few can reach a higher quality point. Owl House is one of them. This animation will surely be remembered as one of the best, right next to things like Gravity Falls. It's very enjoyable to watch right from the start, the stories that are told have good motives behind them, the characters are well written and the animation is in this sweet zone of being simple styled yet very detailed and pleasant to watch. Also a surprising thing for a Disney show - it has a very good LGBT representation! It doesn't feel as corny as Netflix's... well every attempt at it. It actually feels like the it's author understands it. Well... if you follow the news you probably know that this show got cut but it doesn't mean it's not worth to watch! I'm waiting impatiently for season 3 and recommend this one greatly!

Don't let the overly sensitive people who didn't even watch the show bother you
saying anything that is fantasy is devils worship is not true its not real and it won't teach people to worship evil it teaches you to not judge other to be kind and to love yourself there are some action elements its awesome amazing funny show that deserves to be given a real chance if you don't believe me watch it for yourself and decide.

The show ended just last weekend. I feel a little broken, I'll admit. I have been following this show since Summer of 2021, witnessing this show go from being a controversial subject, to becoming a legendary show, praised as the best show on Disney Channel since Gravity Falls and being regarded as one of the WORST instances of corporations dragging a show through the mud due to low ratings.
However, for those of us who saw it the whole way through, we know that Dana Terrace and crew ultimately had the last laugh as the show's second season AND third season of three hour-long specials were nothing short of fantastic.
I will attest, it does take a moment to pick up speed. Season 1 has a lot of filler episodes and they... vary in quality. However, once you reach episode 15, the story kicks into overdrive. Understanding Willow, Enchanting Grom Fright, Agony of a Witch, Echoes of the Past, Eda's Requiem, Knock Knock Knockin' on Hooty's Door, it just kept getting better, and better, and better.
Was it overstuffed? A bit, yes. But Dana and her crew gave it the best they could, given the circumstances, and turned out a show that will be remembered as a masterpiece for years to come. And I'd be hard-pressed to say that it wasn't worth getting through the rough patches to witness the majesty that this show brings. Please, PLEASE go watch it! If you love magic, fantasy, dark looming threats, and even a hint of love in there, you WILL enjoy it.

The entirety of the show is composed of excellently developed characters, unique ideas, and a complex yet well done plot line. The owl house as a series covers ideas any viewer could learn from. It isn't only a interesting watch but a innovative one as well. With an emphasis on moral dilemmas, and self acceptance their is plenty for the audience to consider. After watching show (seasons one and two, three hasn't released yet) it is extremely absurd that this series is being canceled.

This show is actually really good, it's extremely slow at first but the plot gets really interesting in later episodes.

This show, despite being a fantasy series is surprising realistic and well-written. The world-building and characters are fantastic. The visuals are stunning. It has Gravity Falls energy and humor, while still being its own separate entity. It has tons of twists, turns, and unexpected revelations. It's emotional, funny, and deals with important topics. I'd recommend this show to anyone, really!

A wonderful series even if not all the characters impressed me.
Luz, King and Amity are the best in my opinion but at the other end of the spectrum are Hooty and Gus who in fact just take up space unnecessarily.
The series started calmly but when showed its strenght did it without holding back, managing to hit the viewer in full.

When I first saw it, I had high hopes for the show. Opening really hyped me up but when the first few episodes rolled in it was just kind of like "Meh". The story line has great potential and if the plot maybe took some change later on and made it more focused on individual episodes it would go a lot better. As for the characters, Luz, Edna and King are alright but everyone else feels like the writers got bored after the main characters, really need more developing. Positive is that the animation is really nice. They need to take the ambitious steps taken by their sister episode "Amphibia" which was more successful and was effectively able to capture the audience.

I think most people who wrote this show off never made it passed season 1. Season 1 is the typical no problems no real consequences happy go lucky fantasy world story. It's fun and different but nothing amazing. It pays off in season 2 when reality hits the main character Luz and she can't just run from/ignore all her problems. She is forced to start growing as a character.
The world building that happens in season 2 is fantastic. It gives you a lot and also leaves enough to the imagination. All the characters are great and have their personal growths.
So sad that Disney cut it short before it ever even got going. The writers have done a great job with the show despite only being able to do a partial season 3 to wrap everything up.
