So I went ahead and gave some money to Disney and watched the first season of the owl house on Disney+, and while I did watch a few episodes of season 2 and some major plot points have been spoiled for me by cultural osmosis, I still wanted to note that I thought season 1 was very well done.

I think King, Eda, and Luz where an strong core cast, and played off of each other in some really fun an organic ways. and It is also very nice that side characters and the story telling of cartoons in general is having an nice renaissance of depth in story and character, and it's going to be interesting to see what a lot the kids this is actually aimed for have as nostalgia in about 15 years.

I am a big fan of opaque fantasy, so not clearly dark, nor straight-laced good, but that things are enjoyably complicated, and notably human.

I liked some of the ways the show talked about found family, it's magical metaphor for chronic illness, and personal meaning and drive in a world that does not really care.

Over all, it was something that made me happy, and I am excited and disappointed to wrap it up.

Thanks for reading.
