“Don’t litter” is still a great moral to teach, but I’m not sure he ever made a dent in real pollution a kid picking up his candy bar wrapper isn’t really going to cut down on smog alerts. “Give a hoot, don’t pollute!” scores points for rhyming, but most of his actual messages involve simple litter. I think the reason Woodsy didn’t endure as much as Smokey and McGruff is his slogan. He came from the golden era of PSA animals teaching lessons to kids: bears taught us to prevent forest fires, dogs taught us to take a bite out of a crime, and owls taught us to not leave our shit laying on the ground. I have a thing for old public service announcements, and Woodsy Owl is a forgotten classic. Probably because Big Dictionary is trying to keep the little man down by refusing to recognize it as a word. We as a society don’t use “twitterpated” enough. He grumpily warns Bambi and friends of the suddenness with which one can fall in love, and despite their assurances that they can resist, he’s proven correct in every case. He’s small and excitable and has a name that Ron hates, but comparatively, he’s slightly forgettable.įriend Owl is hardly the most important part of Bambi, but he gave us the “twitterpated” scene, and that alone is worthy of recognition. But other than that, he doesn’t really stand out amongst the series’ prominent owls.

So in terms of not being evil, Pigwidgeon is certainly an upgrade as far as Ron’s pets go.

Pigwidgeon is the replacement animal that Ron Weasley gets after his former pet rat turned out to be a dark wizard henchman who helped get Harry’s parents killed.

She tries to help Tod learn the realities of the challenges his friendship with Copper will ultimately face, and finds Vixey to mentor Tod in how to be a fox in the wild (and of course, the two foxes fall in love). Big Mama ( THE FOX AND THE HOUND)īig Mama is the owl who finds Tod as a baby, and remains a mentor to him after arranging his adoption by Widow Tweed.

But blatant inaccuracy has never stopped me from making bold claims before, and I won’t let it now.

Fans of these books (and/or the film) may complain that I cannot call my fictional owl rankings definitive without checking out an entire series about fictional owls, and they may even be correct. But I haven’t read the 15-book series or watched the Zack Snyder animated adaptation. Besides, the role of “smart owl” is well-filled later in the list. He seems likable enough, but I have little available to judge him by. He originally appeared in a pair of 1950s Disney cartoons, reappearing decades later as the host for Disney Sing Along Songs. And sure, there comes a time in every man’s life where he wants to put on an owl costume, but that doesn’t mean they belong on the same list as the real things. But ultimately, both are grown men who dress as owls. Owlman is intended as a counterpart to Batman in the Crime Syndicate, an alternate reality supervillain group. Nite Owl is from Alan Moore’s legendary WATCHMEN series, a character with fascinating psychological depth.

DC’s Owlman and especially Nite Owl are a little cooler. Furthermore, he has hollow bones but somehow also super strength? Yeah ok. Marvel’s Owl is primarily a Daredevil villain who got owl powers and became a crime boss after the IRS ended his career in finance, where his nickname was, I kid you not, “The Owl of Wall Street.” Missed opportunity, Scorsese. The Owl (Marvel Comics) Nite Owl, Owlman (DC Comics) Look, I have nothing against Rice, but it’s hard to have much respect for Sammy when he can’t even finish a watermelon-eating contest (note the girl trash talking him at the 1:16-1:25 mark: “He SHOULD cry”) and when he can’t beat two kids in some kind of paddle race. UNRANKED: Sammy the Owl (Rice University mascot) If you disagree with my choices or think I left out a worthy candidate, then you’re probably wrong, but comment below anyway. This was a difficult list to create, with several agonizing choices, but I now present to you the definitive Fictional Owl Power Rankings. After Andy pointed out a couple owls I had forgotten, I realized that I needed to do a deep dive into the catalog of fictional owls with serious consideration for each one’s place in history.

Last year, I read the HARRY POTTER series for the first time, and made reference to Hedwig’s place among the greatest fictional owls. This week, we debut with the top 13 fictional owls. Welcome to Random Power Rankings, a weekly column devoted to counting the best of whatever we feel like.
