It had an immense charm to not only its characters, but its story as well! It quickly became my sister and I’s go to Disney show to watch as a family, and we couldn’t wait to see what would happen next.
It turns out my hunch was right — just in these past few months alone The Owl House has swiftly become one of Disney’s beloved cartoon shows among the likes of the former hit Gravity Falls, garnering a large following and fandom. Even better, The Owl House is a refreshing source of diversity — hosting not only main POC and LGBT characters, but a main Latina bisexual lead with a lesbian love interest — something groundbreaking for Disney!
So, lets dive in, shall we?
The story begins with our lead character Luz Noceda, who dreads having to go to a summer camp that her mom enrolled her in to get her out of her shell; Luz would much rather delve into her whimsical fantasy books than go out and make new friends at camp. Crazily enough, Luz’s wishes end up unintentionally coming true when a mysterious owl steals her book and leads her into an abandoned house. There, she stumbles across an enchanted door that whisks her away to the land of the Boiling Isles — a world full of magic, monsters, the “King of Demons”, King, and the enigmatic Owl Lady Eda who lives at The Owl House.
Eda is a notorious old witch renowned across the Boiling Isles for her bounty upon her head and her rebellious attitude; King is a rather feisty, mischievous little demon that tries to make up for his tiny appearance by acting a lot bigger than he really is. Luz quickly forms a close bond with the Owl Lady and her pal King — in turn, Luz decides to spend her summer in the Boiling Isles as Eda’s apprentice instead and become the first human to learn magic!
