As a kid I loved him and I still do to this day, it would be so cool if someone released a full-scale prop of him.
One of the reasons I hated the remake was because they dissed Bubo.
"Mr. Treehorn treats objects like women, man."
Surprised that Bubo the owl reminded me so much of R2D2.
shareOMG..watching the movie right now and that's exactly what I thought!
share...he/it was popular at the time and, while CotT's creators must've realized that they couldn't have a droid in their film, they could sneak in a steampunk animal contraption (although then again, if they'd wanted to go all quasi-scifi like at least one of the Lou Ferrigno Hercules films did with its mechanical monsters and out-in-space gods, they could've just said to heck with straight-up fantasy/mythology genre and mixed at will.
I didn't like Bubo (but then, I only saw this yesterday and never caught it as a kid)...one of the many negative influences Star Wars and it being held up by way too many as stellar cinema has had on film.
I do too.
shareHe was adorable and a true hero.
