‘The Owl That Roared’Synopsis
An Animated FeatureBy Daniel Kemp
[email protected]+44 (0)782 100 4768
An orphaned giant eagle owl breaks free from his egg, to Oind himself alone in a nest, high on the branches of a tree in the bird of prey enclosure at London Zoo. Peering out into this new world he loses his balance and falls into the neighbouring lion enclosure, landing on a pile of hay next to an outstretched lioness.
The owl had never met a lion before, or an owl come to that, so he wasn’t scared and in fact was quite pleased to meet his new ‘mom’. The lioness in return was rather taken by this fearless ball of Oluff, and decided not to eat him but to raise him as her own…
When his chance to escape came, he took it, Olying to freedom and to the skies of London.
But when a lion owl gets hungry, other birds better watch out, he’s a ruthless hunter with a mean streak!
Time passed and the owl had grown, now a fully Oledged member of the lion pride, one of the family!
One day the zoo keepers noticed the little owl and for his own safety took him away and put him in a small cage next to other birds of prey.
Taken from his adopted family and all alone, the owl was very sad and over the years became very mean.
London is rich with birds of all shapes and sizes, birds with distinctive personalities and originating from all around the world. Parks, ponds, forests, the River Thames and the city itself offer a rich habitat; add London zoo’s bird community to that and you’ve got a colourful collection of characters.
But with a lion owl on the loose London’s birds were in for a shock, never before had they seen such a ruthless hunter, or such a hungry one!
Before long the birds called a meeting to discuss how to deal with this terrible problem. It was left to four unlikely heroes to step up and make a stand, the only ones brave enough...
a bluetit who’s scared of heights...
a Canadian goose who can’t Oly straight...
a little robin redbreast...
Our heroes Oirst have to overcome their problems, then with the help of a wise Indian peacock and a few other friends along the way, the team embark on an adventure to save the skies.
and a treasure mad magpie.
