3	''The Owl & Co'' (French: ''La Chouette et Cie'') is an AllCGICartoon AdaptationExpansion of ''WesternAnimation/TheOwl'', a short series created by Alexandre So and produced by Studio Hari, released in 2013. It focuses on the titular Owl, who is grumpy, quick-tempered and cannot bear noise, disorder or others in general--so there's nothing worse than to be living in an wearisome environment with his neurotic neighbors he has to put up with (a jerkass frog who wants to control everything, a smart stickbug who usually makes useless inventions, a ditzy and clingy sheep, a rooster, a chick(en) and an idealistic, exuberant bat) as his quest for peace only gets him into ridiculous situations. Combine that with his unintentional mistakes or even torture at the end of OnceAnEpisode, and that means anyone can bet he must be the unluckiest guy in the world.

19	** In "Termin-Owl", a lot of worms were walking out of a cave and the Owl just so happens to eat them all there, and got too full yet again.
20	* BrutalHonesty: [[{{Jerkass}} The Frog]] sometimes lets out this.
21	* CuteOwl: The Owl himself, once again.

55	** In "Fun-Owl Business", a running gag has the Sheep saying "I'm neutral!". He also sometimes [[{{Teleportation}} magically appears in other places before he says it.]]
56	** In another episode, a running gag has shapeshifting...creatures who just happen to mainly take the forms of the Owl's friends, each with two (really, if not already very) minor differences.

64	%%* TokenGoodTeammate: The Bat seemingly is this in some episodes. She sometimes gives the Owl a basket of worms, encouraged him to get a worm he was chasing, and sometimes felt bad for him.
65	%%* TrademarkFavoriteFood: The Owl usually likes to eat worms he sees.
66	* WithFriendsLikeThese: The Owl ''does not'' care about any of the other characters at all and often just acts like a self-centered jerk whenever they try to interact with him. Despite this, the other characters still see him as a friend and somewhat care for him.
