It was similar to Amphibia, and I loved every second of it.

Even though we were robbed for third season, I still cannot believe how much effort they put into that one cartoon.

Even though that it has officially concluded that story, it was one of the best shows on Disney so far, Almost to the point where I was about to break down and at the end I applauded like in a movie theater.

I had my fingers crossed for her to say "Now eat this sucka!" I started in 2021 and it was pretty fine, and I'm glad I stuck through with it and had the opportunity to watch it as a whole.

I bid creators like these good luck, and for this show, BYE!!

This episode was the ultimate climax of the past three years of work by the TOH Crew and it shows both in the story told to the quality of the visuals and the small references and easter eggs.

The story of Luz's final confrontation of her insecurities in the dream world created by the collector was a great way to start the episode as it followed off right where the previous one ended thematically. I will avoid ranting about the rest of the episode but to put it lightly it only grows more from there.

The character designs as always were some of the best I've seen and the ending both before and after the credits really shows this in my opinion.

Despite how undercut it was by Disney and it's refusal to give the show it's rightful time this finale still manages to remain satisfying concluding many of the remaining plot points and answering several questions even one we didn't think we'd get the answers to.

Overall Watching and Dreaming is a pinnacle conclusion for it's circumstances and caps of both the stories and themes from the show as a whole. This whole being an stand out piece as the show managed to stand out as one of the best and to some final series in the serialized renaissance of animation and cartoons from 2012 to the finale's premiere.

As a final note I'd like to thank Dana and the rest of the people who worked on this show as regardless of how you stand on it, it was undeniably kept short yet they persisted in telling the story they wanted to tell and made some of the biggest leaps in representation in not just animation but media as a whole. This show has changed many people including me, and it allowed a community of people from many backgrounds to form to adore and support the show, it's characters and it's creators. There will never ever be something like this show ever again and that's ok, but this is a show that will live well beyond it's ending and it's my belief that it'll be a pillar of inspiration for the next generation of creators animation or not. To reiterate it one last time thank you Owl House and thank you crew.

This is by me the perfect ending to almost perfect show. It is a good ending, but it doesn't just jump over obstacles and most ends are satisfyingly tied together. Belos actually was a threat, they did not just make a new villain. I can just imagine different show just making up a bigger threat at the last minute to give the protagonist some stakes. Instead, Danna chose to work with what she already made. The like that magic comes form the hart being in the trailer sounded very important, but I honestly wouldn't expect Belos to take it over. And Collector? Making him the confused kid who doesn't know what to be just fits him and the backstory he told us. It was obvious he was neglected, but this just made me empathize with him even more. It makes sense he would do all that. He was still just a kid who didn't know what his actions could cause. The Titan was also a good. He has the Bad girl coven shirt, symbolizing that he supports wild magic, and Belos was really just making that up. Also I like the cool shot when he transform into his giant form and we see him from under. The was Beloses castle was handled was also good. Boiling isles didn't have a higher education, and Luz bringing this concept to them is very good choice.

Most importantly though, the final scene, where we see Owlbert flying thru the isles, Showing us how the world changed and it brought me tears when I saw everyone making Luz a B-Day party and how Collector finally grew up and made the firework show for everyone.

If you didn't watch this show and read this far, go, watch it and make this rating the way it is meant to be. 10/10 I honesty don't know how could you make a better ending for a show.

It's hard to criticize a finale like this because of cancellation issues, just like the sense8 finale, so I will be nice. Dana Terrace did the best that she could given how she had to wrap everything up in 3 episodes. With that being said, I can't ignore some of the glaring issues the final episode had.

Because the whole story had to be concluded so quickly, there was little time for character interactions. There was a noticeable lack of hunter, willow, Gus and amity. Like I know you had to wrap up the story but come on... it would've been cool to see more of them.

The plot itself was fine, albeit predictable. I liked the collector's redemption arc. Bro just wanted someone to play with lol, that's it. Some of his moments actually got me emotional I'm ngl. I'm glad he wasn't the main villain of the episode and instead it was Belos. Speaking of him... he had a good amount of screentime, but too little dialogue. He was kind of reduced to the standard "big bad" and there wasn't really any personality left in him. Although I did really like his last bit of dialogue where he tells luz "you're not like them," it gives us one final look at his prejudices against witches.

Luz's fakeout death was still pretty sad despite her obviously being alive. I'm honestly surprised to say this but I'm fine with the way they brought her back. Usually I absolutely hate fakeout deaths in tv shows but I quite liked this. She got to meet king's dad and he was able to finally send a message to king.

After Belos' defeat I was feeling a bit underwhelmed, but I will say those last 10-15 minutes made up for it, and made me remember what I love about this show. I'm glad we got a happy ending cause those final moments were just heartwarming. You can really tell how much Dana and the creators love and care about their show. Although I'm disappointed, I'm just happy I left the show with a smile on my face. Thanks for everything.

To be honest the finale wasnt very cohesive, and there were sudden events coming, it was honestly very overwhelming and rushed in my opinion. But the animation was great. To be honest i felt a lack of originality, as amphibia's finale followed the same premise, anne sacrifices herself, and so does luz. Its honestly kinda crazy to see how alike they are, i mean both of them disintegrate into light! I think, in the owl house's standards, it was a good way to end it. I just thought that everything was all over the place, and i kinda cringed at some parts too :'). The only thing i absolutely adored was the collectors backstory AND THE COLLECTOR OVERALL HES SO CUTE!!! Also i liked how huntlow became canon lol. It was a great show, but the ending was kiindaaa.... meh. Great animation tho :D.

The ending was just spectacular every time I watch it I can't stop thinking about how good this was like the fluidity of the animation, the soundtrack was just timely, the collector was great comic relief in all his interactions like when he wanted it to belos becomes good, what I am not going to deny is that the ending was predictable and unpredictable at the same time.

The references that there were to other programs and likewise was what I liked the most, among which are that of Raine's whistling with the melody of Eda's Requiem, the cry of light when taking off from the heart of the titan that refers to his first episode, the collector holding the entire file cabinet that pays homage to the scene of spiderman holding the train and lastly the blue hunter palisman that refers to mordecai from "another show. There were many more references but these are the most obvious.

Dana being on the show was great as were other team members 👌

Wow. What a finale. I really don't know where to begin besides the fact that this may be one of the best finales of an animated show ever. There was similarities with Amphibia on the sacrifice and becoming all powerful, but I enjoyed the fact that the owl house did it differently. I believe this was the best way they couldve ended it. I loved the collectors innocence and how ultimately good is needed but the world isnt as simple as good and bad. Its complex. The collector could only see one and Luz's near death was the sacrifice. This gave the collector more depth and the realization that he needed to learn more. I am glad the collector came around. I the death scene of Luz although would not be permanent and the audience would know this, felt very costly. Although you knew Luz would not die, there was still a sense of gravity of the situation. Belos was an irredeemable monster as he should have been. I am so sad the show got cut short because I would have loved to have had an episode of Belos turning slowly into the insane madman he was. Luz gaining the titan powers was pure hype. The animation was so smooth, energetic, lively and on and on and on. The fight animation was literal eye candy. I was so happy that Luz was able to keep both earth and the demon realm home. Lumity was present and ever so adorable and hunter x willow was great. The reunite of everyone really was special. The time jump at the very end was bittersweet. It was so cool to see everyone doing well and the relationships staying stronger than ever. However, it reminded me that wow this show is actually over. When they all said bye it was such a sad ending. I am happy that we got the owl house. Happy that we got lumity and more representation from this show. Happy from the great story this show gave even when it was cut short. I am sad the owl house ended but happy it happened.

This is it. The end of an 11 Year Era of Serial Disney Animation.

Gravity Falls, Star Vs. The Forces of Evil, Ducktales, Amphibia, and now... The Owl House.

Personally, this is my favourite show of the 2020s and my favourite Disney TV Show of all time. And this finale reinforced it. I don't think I have been more elated, devastated, and thrown around as much as during "Watching and Dreaming".

To start, The Collector's redemption. The collector isn't a bad guy, more of a product of the people around him, so I'm glad that they forgive him in this episode. Some People say that this scene was rushed, but as I've said before, when put under the circumstances this show had, I don't mind it all.

Another thing I want to point out is how they mainly focused on the main 3 protagonists in this episode. I really didn't mind it at all. Everyone else at this point had mostly finished their character arcs, so they could focus on this finale being as epic as possible instead. We do still have plenty of fun character moments in the epilogue, which I loved quite a lot.

Now for the good stuff. Belos Possesses the titan after being told that titans are all powerful, and the Collector tries to use his newfound knowlege and tries to hug it out. This leads to Luz sacrificing herself for The Collector. Yes, she actually dies. I couldn't believe it. Of all the parallels between this show and Amphibia, I DID NOT expect this to happen.

Another Parallel I didn't expect to happen was Luz to get magical anime powers.

TITAN LUZ IS CANON!!! And It didn't even mess Luz's thing about not being the chosen one!!!

And that brings us to the best part of the episode, Luz, Eda and King vs. Titan Belos.

Personally, this might be my favourite animated fight scene of all time. It gave me a burst of joy I have never felt before. Luz coming full circle shouting "EAT THIS SUCKAAAA" at belos is the best thing ever.

And following that, Belos's Death is extremely satisfying. It's so cathartic to see him pleading to Luz at his weakest, while Luz is having none of it.

Overall, this is the golden standard in how to make a series finale under limited time. It puts something like "Ceaved" to shame.

If I could rate this an 11/10 I would. Go watch this if you haven't already!

The Owl House now joins Gravity Falls and Amphibia as Disney Channel shows to have a flawless series finale. This finale primarily focuses on the trio that started it all. As said by Dana Terrace: "a tiny king, an outcast witch, and a hopeful human".

Everything came together very well. The trio's reunion was very emotional, The Collector's character arc in this finale was great, the defeat of Belos was insanely epic and featured callbacks to the very first scene of the series, and of course the time skip epilogue was incredible.

Those are just a few highlights of this action-packed and heartfelt one-hour finale. Thank you, The Owl House for an incredible three years.

That was literally a perfect goodbye episode for me. What an incredible show!! I will miss it truly..

The journey of these 3 years even with all the obstacles; like Disney shortening the final season, didn't stop Dana and the crew on giving this magnificent show an spectacular ending.

I have no ideal words to describe the amount of emotions I got through watching the episode. The Eda, King and Luz reunion finally!, the innocence of The Collector (and finally they understanding their actions), Luz still being amazing and trying to help him see the problem!. And Belos finally being defeated? (hooray!).

And that timeskip! That beautiful and emotional time skip! Love it!

So yeah this is definitely an episode. Seeing a lot of people saying they cried to it but i didn't cause yknow IM JUST BUILT LIKE THAT RAHH. But anyways yeah the finale was way better than i expected. Thought that they were gonna pull a svtfoe on us but it was actually a very satisfying ending. Liked how she wasnt stranded back home and was actually able to travel between worlds unlike amphibia, L. One thing I didnt like about the episode is that eda and raine didnt vigorously make out but other than that this was surely one of the pieces of media ive ever seen. Also mordecai palisman wooooooo.

Overall it was literally amazing, the animation was beautiful and there were multiple call backs to previous episodes. Glad I rewatched the whole show before the episode. This could be because I just watched it but it was so fast that I don't know if its normal that I feel kind of annoyed that the finale went like that, similar to its sister show it had parts you expected but also parts you wouldn't have ever thought of. I knew the ending was going to be something like that but lord did I not know she was going to come back from the dead looking so different it kind of felt like a fever dream.

It's amazing how the show has matured from its first episodes to its last, from a colorful children's comedy to a journey of sacrifice and loss, I confess to being saddened by the end of this series but I think Dana got what she wanted even with only 3 episodes to go count an entire arc.

For us to understand the collector's true motivations, the suspense brought in the first scenes, beauties bringing more chaos to Bolling Island, and when we thought it was the end, Luz, Eda and King becoming stronger and Collector helping the other characters, thus defeating Belos, Luz no longer able to use her glyphs, but becoming the great hero she always dreamed of being.

The characters growing up and living their normal lives, Luz returning to the human world and going to college but visiting her old friends, with the support of Vee, her palisman and Camila, Amity and Luz still maintaining their relationship, Hunter and Willow, Raine and Eda, Gus, Amity's father, Lillith and Hooty, Collector going back to the stars, King with new powers, and it all ends with a big celebration for Luz, and the characters that we've seen so much saying "bye", is to make any fan emotional and proud.
