The owls of Ga'hoole

I have never been one to love owls, but this movie was good.

This movie has one element though that surprised me. The Father figure was not merely not treated as lesser, but truly honorable. In the movie there are two main Owls and their courses, the brothers Kludd, and Soren.

Soren is a dreamer, he takes in his father's legends of the great guardians to heart, and wants to be just like them. He listens to his father when they are beginning flight training. He truly respects his father. Throughout his adventures he is known to site what his Father says, and even after he learns that his father's tales are not entirely true, he still holds onto them, knowing the tales were really far more gruesome than his father had said.

Kludd on the other hand could not have had less to do with his father. He never listens to his father during training, instead trying to make it off his own power and pride. He scoffs at his father's tales, and takes nothing from his words. and in the end he betrays his family for power, and seeks the false honor from a treacherous evil ruler of the owl world.

Though their Father shows up little, and has little time in it, it is clear his impact on the family, and what happened to those who listened to him, and those who didn't.
