My only real problem with the film is the helmets. Who made them? How do the owls even put them on? How do they fucking fly around with big metal helmets on? WHY ARE OWLS WEARING HELMETS?

Anyway. Other than that, looks like a decent enough kid's movie.

You know, you keep going on (here and on TBTL) about how cute and unlikely as warriors owls are, but in truth they are raptors, and fierce-ass predators. So, yeah, fuck with an owl at your own risk.

@4: In the biz, we call this a "joke." Do you think I think owls really wear graduation caps and spectacles?

Wouldn't a better headline be: It's a hoot!

I think the CGI looks horrible enough to avoid this movie completely, however this review was a hoot. And burrowing owls really are omg cute!!!
