Owl (film)

Owl is a 1981 Czechoslovak animated short film directed by Libuše Palečková. The film is known for its distinctive use of cutout animation and its adaptation of a traditional folk tale. The narrative typically revolves around a wise owl who offers guidance or assistance to other animals in need, often resolving conflicts or dispensing moral lessons. The style is visually striking, often employing simple shapes and vibrant colours characteristic of Eastern European animation of that era. Owl is generally considered children's entertainment, but its themes and visual artistry have also garnered appreciation from a wider audience interested in classic animation.
