The Owl (French : La Chouette [3] ) is a series of short 3D CGI episodes for children's television. It is a silent comedy revolving around the life of a grumpy and unlucky owl, who has trouble dealing with all sorts of surreal situations and gets comically dismembered at the end.
The series features the eponymous Owl, pink in color, and with blue feet that "float" below her body. The Owl also resembles a plastic figurine and has a grumpy, anti-social personality. Each of the minute-long fifty-two episodes centers on the Owl attempting to overcome unfortunate circumstances, but as a running gag, end in her demise by her various appendages and body being dispensed of in unusual or comical ways.
The series' setting takes place high above at an undistinguished tree, a la a "bottle show". The Owl occasionally also encounters other species, like birds, bats and even an athletic frog, to which these never end well for her. Other situations involve surreal events, like floating objects and exploding apples.
