Disney Owls

As explained previously in my cakepop post, i love Disney. And today i watched one of my favourites Robin Hood! Have you noticed how much Walt Disney uses Owls in his films? I hadn't really but now i'm seeing them everywhere. Most of the films which take place near a forest have a good chance of having an owl in them.

According to the internet (so probably not true) as a child Walt Disney was frightened by an owl and accidentally killed it. He has felt guilty ever since so puts owls in all appropriate Disney films. Owls often play roles of smart, loyal friends full of wisdom. As smart birds who seem to have an answer to everything. This goes back to Greek mythology when an owl was the faithful companion of Athena, the goddess of wisdom. I knew there was a reason i like them so much. Apart from them being insanely cute of course!

Everyone knows the Owl in Winnie the Pooh. The wise old bird who Pooh goes to for guidance.

And how about the caring Big Mama in the Fox and the Hound?

How about the owl in Bambi who teaches him and his friends about Twitterpating?

Of course you have to remember Archimedes from The sword in the stone. So grumpy but so lovable at the same time. This particular clip has me in fits of laughter with him.

Not sure how many people will recognize this freaky fellow from Alice in Wonderland.

Sleeping Beauty also features an owl with whom she dances while singing in the forest. The owl is dressed in Prince Charming's cape, with rabbits following in the boots dancing.

And there's these two from Pocahontas who seem to appear only to disagree with something just said. For example this image is right after Grandmother Willow claims  " my bark is worse than my bite".

But even i had forgotten about these two. That is until this morning when i watched Robin Hood. And they have got to be the cutest couple ever! They look after each other and have fun together and just seem so lovely. I couldn't find any pictures of them online so took these pictures of my TV. So i appologise if the quality is really bad. But i just had to share.

 I want to be like that when i'm old ♥
