The Owl House: Watching and Dreaming (2023)
Season 3, Episode 3
10/10
Phenomenal Ending to a Wonderful Dream
9 April 2023
After three years full of painstakingly heartfelt/heartbreaking moments and heaps of hilarious moments to ease the sting... it's over. The Owl House has officially ended and it feels like waking up from the most marvelous dream.

The entire team put their entire beings into this episode and it shows from the opening SECONDS! Not a moment was wasted. Of course I could go on my soapbox about how Disney really messed up in shortening this season but we already know that. Instead of focusing on that for the hundredth time I want to bask in how wonderful this ending was along with the journey that got us here.

Every moment was earned. The animation was the best the show ever produced (and that's saying something). And even though everything wasn't answered it doesn't actually matter that much. The crew knew the characters are what make the Boiling Isles special and by focusing on them we get an ending that is truly magical.

I will definitely be watching this episode over and over again with each subsequent watch making me cry. Because above all else, despite the hurdles they had to overcome, they created a show that was unabashedly queer. To show queer joy in full-bloom is a wondrous thing, especially with how hard reality is right now.

The Owl House is all about finding hope in the bleakest of times. It provided comfort for those who needed it most. It inspires us to imagine a better world where that hope has flourished. This show truly was a beautiful dream that imagines a better reality. That alone is worth celebrating... BUT DISNEY REALLY DID SCREW UP WE BETTER GET SPIN-OFFS OKAY BYEEEEEEEE!!!!!
