list we’re taking a look at pop culture
owls that stand out due to their wisdom
loyalty and wit number 10 Wan Shi Tong

the most imaginative creatures in all of
animation one of the most memorable

amasses information in his library are
you the spirit who brought this library
to the physical world indeed I am one
Shi Tong he who knows 10,000 things

Bubo Clash of the Titans
it’s said that a feast is the god of
metalworking forged Bubo the owl film
buffs know however that this golden
mechanical owl was really brought to
life by Ray Harryhausen the god of
stop-motion don’t worry man is a friend
sounding like a hooting r2d2 whoo bow is
sent by Athena to assist Perseus in his
rescue of princess Andromeda blue bow
the I who bow is always there to show
Perseus the way and even help him defeat
the Kraken
over 30 years after Clash of the Titans
came out though we still don’t have a
flying fully functional Bubo toy
somebody please make this number 8
Sauron legend of the guardians the owls
of ga’hoole I’m sorry Sauron is one bird
that usually has his head in the sky
spending most of his carefree days
dreaming about the legendary owls of
ga’hoole and lyze of Kiel I’ve assembled
my own army the guardians of gold
sorry warning us to make strong the weak
men the broken and vanquish evil oh the
simple owl is swooped away on the
adventure of a lifetime
when he is kidnapped by an army of evil
owls you told us you’d bring all the
Guardians but they’re not Guardians
sorry they have no chance against the
Flex refusing to let his captors break
his spirit Sauron takes flight with a
band of misfit Al’s to find the
Guardians what are we gonna do now
Sauron you’re gonna find the Guardians
of Ga’Hoole in dark times of uncertainty
Sauron acts as a beacon of hope that
encourages his fellow owls to keep
fighting and flying come on Sauron
that was eggs and hurry but we’re not
finished yet boy
number seven friend owl Bambi
Oh what yeah while he might get a little
cranky when others make a racket friend
owl is a genuinely friendly owl as his
name suggests seemingly the only owl in
the forest friend owl is a reclusive
bachelor who enjoys his solitude you
know just the other day I was talking to
myself about you
and we were wondering what had become of
you
he always has time to share a cheerful
conversation with the young prince of
the forest though since Bambi’s mother
is dead and his father is an absent
loner friend owl takes it upon himself
to give him the sex talk or the
twitterpated talk as he would put it
lucky don’t you know there twitterpated
twitterpated yes nearly everybody gets
twitterpated in the springtime number 6
Big Mama the Fox and the Hound it’s
alright
big Mama’s here after Todd’s mother has
given the classic Disney parents
send-off
this owl with the sassy voice of Pearl
Bailey takes the little Fox under her
wing you gonna need some caring for even
when the kindly old widow tweed adopts
Todd big momma still keeps a watchful
eye on him like any caring mammy big
momma helps Todd deal with romance
friendship and the inevitability of
growing up we’ll keep on being friends
forever won’t we pit mother
darlin forever is a long long time and
time has a way of changing things she’s
also very upfront with Todd about the
dangers of hunters and where a lack of
education will land him don’t you move
honey big Mama’s gonna be right back
number five mr. owl the Tootsie Pop
commercial mr. owl how many licks does
it take to get to the tootsie roll
center of a Tootsie bar mr. cow mr. Fox
and mr. turtle never finished a Tootsie
Pop without biting but surely mr. owl
can tell this nude boy how many licks it
takes to get to the tootsie roll center
of a Tootsie Pop apparently it takes
three 103:3
either that or mr. owl is just a smart
aleck who doesn’t know jack if there’s
anything I can’t stand it’s a smart
album that’s probably not even as
mortarboard in any case his classic line
is the reason this commercial is still
going strong over four decades later and
why the world is still plagued by this
question the world may never know number
four the great owl the secret of NIMH
I’m not even afraid of the great out
when you hush up I you hush the secret
of NIMH was definitely one of the
darkest animated movies of the 80s truly
treating its audience like adults
owls eat mice
only after dark a particularly
intimidating scene is when mrs. Brisby
seeks the aid of the great owl why have
you come with a booming voice that
echoes through his tree hole and eyes
that shine like lanterns the great owl
is a beast as wide as he is gritty you
must more to a place where to be safe oh
there must be another way there is no
other way although he’s only on screen
for one scene he leaves a dominating
impression that will stick with you well
after the movie is over remember leave
of the store
number three owl the Winnie the Pooh
franchise a bit like the Frasier Crane
of the Hundred Acre Wood owl is wise
sophisticated dignified and enjoys
entertaining his unintellectual friends
thing to do is as follows first issue a
rebuttal tiger
I beg you Bob why are you sneezed just
as you’re going to tell me what the
first thing to do was that being said he
also has a somewhat large ego often
prattling away with life stories that
clearly bore everyone else good that
will just give me time to tell you about
my uncle Clyde a very independent barn
owl didn’t give a hoot for tradition he
isn’t quite as smart as he makes himself
out to be however constantly miss
reading situations and making spelling
mistakes
doc pol that spells
oh please by soul so it does even if he
is occasionally misguided owl loves to
give his friends advice and lend a
helping wing oh you plowed a piglets
house until well make a rescue a rescue
yes yes Oh
number two Archimedes the sword in the
stone whoo-hoo I’d like to know who you
can probably tell from this list the
Disney has a knack for creating
wonderful owl characters Archimedes I’ll
turn you into a human I will sure help
farewell all right all right all right
their absolute best is Archimedes a
talking al who’s sarcastic cynical and
closed-minded despite the fact that his
master is a wizard my name is Merlin and
this is your akka me days the highly
educated owl named after the Greek
philosopher our committees takes great
pleasure and shooting Merlin down every
time he fumbles hey raka meters and
would you mind sitting down there and
not interested nevertheless the
judgmental owl does have a soft spot for
old Merlin and the young boy who would
become King through their guidance
okay before we soar over to our top pick
here are a few honorable mentions
now put me away never be dirty sing a
song about old friends wanna sing about
having a sax to play it can’t be bad
I’m mr. owl you must be Franklin and
snail yes that’s right good morning good
night owl Oh number one
Hedwig the Harry Potter franchise
ever since she was given to Harry on his
11th birthday
this snowy owl has faithfully stood by
the Boy Who Lived anyway whether he
needs a crucial letter delivered or
someone to talk to Harry can always
count on Hedwig she’s much more than
just a pet she’s one of Harry’s dearest
friends and the epitome of every animal
companion we wished we’d grown up with
iconic technically I’m not allowed to
use magic outside of school Hedwig is
further a symbol of Harry’s childhood
innocence which makes it especially
tragic when sheep well we won’t spoil
that for you here sorry I just do you

fictional owl we’re trying to seek the
truth for more entertaining top 10s
