107 Owl House Facts You Should Know | Channel Frederator

there is certainly no shortage of facts to cover about disney's new hit series the owl house as we follow loose nocita as she travels into the demonic realm where she chooses to stay in order to learn how to become a witch now be warned because there will be spoilers for all of season 1 and the first half of season 2. if you want to go in unspoiled come back to watch this video after going through it because it certainly has our stamp of approval i'm jeremy freed with channel frederator and these are 107 facts about the owl house let's jump in with number one even though disney has been in the animation business for nearly a century now dana terrace is only the fourth woman at the helm of one of their animated shows 2. this show draws quite a lot of influence from gravity falls which comes largely from terrace herself 3. this might seem pretty obvious since alex hirsch the creator of that show also produced this one but did you know that dana terrace actually started her career working on gravity falls she did storyboarding and worked on the animation for that show 4. of course hersh's involvement doesn't end with him being a producer he voices king using the same tone that he did for bill cipher back in gravity falls 5. hirsch also voices hootie 6. he stated that he was trying to do a mickey mouse impersonation and dana terrace liked it so much that she decided to keep it in seven but hirsch didn't do all of king's voice as the squeaks of rage were voiced by dana terrace 8. terrace takes a page out of his book there since she voices the character of tiny nose 9. terrace also voices king when he was only an infant 10. the design of tiny nose was also based on terrace though as a caricature 11. that is actually the character's name as far as we know you can see this on our penstagram account 12. and this of course being a parody of instagram 13. while eda discards a smartphone as garbage in the first episode it is funny how a lot of teenage witches do conjure magical scrolls that function pretty much identically 14. moving back to voice actors for a little bit it's funny how a lot of the cast are veterans of the industry with one notable exception for ita's voice wendy malik this is the seventh project she has worked on for disney starting all the way back in 2000 15. amity is voiced by may whitman whose best known role is probably katara in avatar the last airbender 16. but here's one you may have missed gray delisle voices roselle who kidnaps ita and king as well as katya the imprisoned food fanfic writer and a handful of other supporting characters she previously worked with mae whitman on avatar where she voiced azula 17. roselle's partner in crime dottie doesn't have a voice but she communicates and growls alone these growls may sound familiar to dark souls players as they are the same sounds made by the wretches in the third installment of that series 18. the notable exception for veterans of the industry is the voice of loose herself sarah nicole robles for her this is her first time with top billing 19. robles also voices the basilisk v who takes lucy's form 20. let's get the obvious one out of the way loose is in fact the first bisexual character in a disney show 21 while she is not the first gay character total she is the first openly gay protagonist in one of disney's shows 22 while on the subject did you notice how there is apparently no stigma against homosexuality on the boiling isles 23 the reveal that willow has two fathers comes with virtually no ceremony 24 and while amity has plenty of issues with her parents her sexuality is not one of them 25. in fact when fans brought up amity's fear of rejection mirroring her fear of being outed dana terrace confirmed that that was not intended 26. this extends to the supporting cast as well with rain whispers being confirmed as non-binary 27 another first for the show 28. in fact when the latin american translation changed this to make the character male instead a lot of fans and also the voice actor themselves avi roach were pretty upset about it 29. now the owl house makes a pretty deep effort to change the standards of representation in television and how much you like that is pretty much up to where you fall on the political spectrum 30. but there were more detractors out there before the show was even released a christian group calling themselves one million moms saw the first episode that it was set in the demonic realm and involved witchcraft after which they petitioned disney to cancel the show 31. perhaps unsurprisingly disney ignored them 32 disney wasn't completely immune to the pushback against the show's progressive nature as the picture with willow's father's insider memories was blurred in some countries 33 but clearly people are hungry for this content as the premiere of the second season on disney now reports came in of the service being unavailable due to server overloads 34 however the one million moms group wasn't completely off the mark when they said it was a portrayal of hell dana terrace has stated in contrast to gravity falls which was inspired by american horror she wanted the owl house to be more inspired by classical gothic horror 35 she has even stated that she has a tattoo of hieronymus bosch to that extent 36. alex hirsch stated that he wanted to push the boundary for kids entertainment back to where it was as he feels it has become too safe and commercialized 37 moving on the production numbers of the episode don't always line up with the order of their release the first seven episodes are all in order but then comes episode eight of season one once upon a swap which had a production code of 115. 38. in fact most of the episodes after this are in a different order than their production would suggest 39 strangers still there is no episode numbered 117 even though the first season has 19 episodes the production codes go up to 120 but 117 is missing 40. this led to rumors that there is an unaired episode 17 somewhere but this is just speculation 41. why the episodes don't air in the same order they were produced in we don't know producing an animated show is a complex thing however so it's probably not worth reading too much into this 42 however in season 2 at least so far the production codes do line up with the order of their release 43 but the episode titles themselves are worth a closer look if you take the first letter of those in season 1 they spell out a witch loses a true way 44 in season two the first letters spell out seek the key forty-five many of those titles are references to other pieces of media hootie's moving hassle being a reference to howl's moving castle 46. wing it like witches being a reference to bend it like beckham 47 and through the looking glass ruins being a reference to the second alice in wonderland novel 48. going to some facts about the characters let's start with eda so far underrepresented in this video in the episode witches before wizards her mug says 30 and flirty which has sparked some debate among fans about her actual age 49. while it has been confirmed that her curse makes her age faster therefore making her look older than she really is her real age isn't known 50. despite this even loose describes her as surprisingly foxy for her age 51. what is known is that she is only about 2 years younger than her sister lilith 52 there is a theory worth discussing namely that gravity falls in the owl house actually take place in the same universe 53. ita is one of the primary reasons this theory has merit as it is revealed that she went by the name of marilyn when she went to the human realm 54. and in the dvd commentary of gravity falls alex hirsch stated that stan pines was married to a woman named marilyn for a day before she robbed him and disappeared forever 55 she also appears in the background of a gravity falls comic on a wanted poster and that comic came out before the owl house was released 56. something else bolstering this theory is a hat strongly resembling dipper's hat that can be seen on eda's shelf in the first episode 57 and a picture of bill cipher can be seen on king's board of demons 101 58. now loose even though this isn't really meaningful it is revealed that loose is from the fictional town of gravesfield connecticut 59. perhaps unsurprisingly this is also the home state of dana terrace 60. in some of the letters that v sent to camilla nocita she misspelled lucy's name 61 this could be a reference to various media outlets misspelling her name prior to the show's release 62 prior to learning about the existence of the demon realm lucy stated that she wanted to become a writer 63 fittingly for a writer she is shown to be ambidextrous as she is seen drawing the glyphs with both hands 64 some have speculated that loose has a form of adhd though terrace stated that she did not intend this 65 however she does now consider this canonical 66 and finally loses lactose intolerant 67. let's talk about amity we mentioned how she is voiced by mae whitman but the katara references go a little bit further than sharing a voice actress the way she conjures an abomination to capture hunter in the episode eclipse lake bears quite a resemblance to how kataro would water bend from a pouch she carried around her waist 68. there is also more than a little overlap between loose and amity and hooty's tunnel of love and aang and katara being trapped together in the cave of two lovers 69. while most occupants of the owl house think hootie is at a minimum somewhat irritating amity seems to have a particular dislike for it when she beats him up an enchanting grom fight he actually has some serious injuries as he's seen with bandages in an eye patch in the next scene 70. amity is left-handed 71 her penstagram account is witchchick128 some people read the 128 in there as a reference to dana terrace's birthday which is december 8th 72 another more explicit reference to terrace is amity's talisman ghost based on and named after terrace's cat 73 much speculation revolves around the true identity of emperor bellows one of the most credible theories is that he was one of the two brothers who were abducted from gravesfield in the 1600s 74 this would make him the brother of philip whitbain 75 it would also explain his dependency on talisman to stay healthy absorbing their magic to keep himself young 76 but there is also plenty of evidence to suggest otherwise one of the main ones being hunter aka the golden guard he's only a teenager and is bellow's nephew meaning that bellow's brother is either still alive or if he isn't only died recently 77 bellows also mentions that he doesn't want the portal for something as boorish as invading the human realm but he is still going to considerable lengths to obtain and later repair it 78. of course he said this to loose and he is known to lie to achieve what he wants so how truthful this is is up for debate 79 time for some hidden details among the wanted posters loose is checking in separate tides there is one for the three children of the back queen though underneath it says part-time babysitter 80. the creepy doll loose picks up in the first episode makes another appearance when she creates the portal for the mirror dimension 81 at the book fair one of the books is titled pulling a fast one this is a reference to the mythological character of fost who traded his soul with the devil to gain unlimited knowledge strangely fitting for a book fair in the demonic realm 82. the crest of the hexheid school is the oroboros the snake eating its own tail but that symbol is normally a circle however at hexside it's mixed with the infinity symbol 83 this is a bit double since the oroboros already represents a cycle of renewal 84 the crooked dagger bump gives willow for lucy's dissection later reappears in the season finale when loose is looking to arm herself to free eda 85 ever since eda mentions in the first episode that giraffes were banned from the demon realm to the human world they appear multiple times in the background like on king's board of demons 101 86. the armory brought up in enchanting gromfright has some interesting choices the claymore valor heart reichard's rapier and something bearing a suspicious resemblance to the lifehunt scythe from dark souls all appear on there 87 along with clouds buster sword from final fantasy 88 and the thundersword alistar from devil may cry 89 most creatures on the boiling isles are fabrications but the spider that crawls on lucy's head in that same episode is based on a real one called the camel spider they're harmless to humans but some can actually grow to that size 90. the monster from the intro finally appears in the show proper in the season 1 finale summoned by bellows in an attempt to defeat loose 91 in the first episode the owl with the cat eyes and human face gets a long shot leading up to the reveal of the owl house but we never get any kind of explanation of this creature 92 the cloud gwendolyn releases looks more than a bit like the westpotent a relief embedded in the ground at st peters square in vatican city 93 eda selling snake oil is an obvious reference to her being a snake oil salesman or a charlatan 94. luce is very keen to put magic into the book she writes with king as it's already pinned to the board when she adds it again 95. we haven't discussed the music yet so let's change that the first season had its score composed by tj hill the same guy who did the score for amphibia which there are a handful of references to in the show 96 but the second season had its score composed by brad break who did the score for gravity falls 97 pay attention to the background music whenever loose and amity are on screen together there are two light motifs that usually accompany them though in various keys and with some re-harmonization going on 98 so far only the first and last episodes of season 1 have aired without the intro theme playing beforehand 99. in the episode hunting talisman the golden guard is heard whistling the main theme 100 while we have talked about the show's references to gravity falls at great length the other two major targets of parody are amphibia another disney show and harry potter 101 amphibia first these shows share the same composer and the same animation studios rough draft studios and sunmin image pictures both based in south korea 102 and also composer tj hill 103 one of the references to amphibia is in hunter's room where he keeps a figurine of sprig planter 104 the references to harry potter are much more numerous including a brief cameo by a much more violent version of the sorting hat in the episode the first day 105 grudge b being basically quidditch but without the brooms 106 and the grom bearing more than a passing resemblance to the boggarts if a lot more powerful 107 and finally because i know you've been waiting for this while amity scrolls through most of lucy's messages on the tamagotchi-like device the only one she doesn't take a second look at is the first one she receives that episode turn sideways the one that reads you are pretty once again i'm jeremy freed and thanks for watching 107 facts about the owl house are you excited for the next half of season 2 to
