The Owl & Co (French: La Chouette et Cie) is a French series of CGI-animated episodes produced by Studio Hari for children's television, based on The Owl shorts.

Plot

The series features The Owl, the titular pink grumpy owl who resembles a plastic figure. The Owl lives in a forest inhabited by various other species, the most notable ones being an intelligent stickbug, a brash frog, a charismatic bat and an airheaded sheep. Like the original short series, the Owl does not care about anyone else around him, as he would rather eat a worm instead. However, the Owl usually is unlucky and goes through some slapstick scenarios. A running gag at the end of each episode is the fact the Owl ends up comically dismembered, usually accompanied by a short banjo tune.
