Lemme share the tea for anyone who isn’t aware:
- Owl house is a show by Dana Terrace that ran on Disney
- It slowly developed into big pro-LGBTQ themes
- Disney panicked, cancelled the show, claimed it was unpopular despite excellent ratings
- Dana Terrace left with a bunch of others to form an independent studio
- Their first show (Knights of Guinevere) features a floating amusement park that rains garbage all over the workers below, and robots that have orbs on their heads that produce a silhouette strikingly similar to that of Mickey Mouse
Does anybody know if knights of Guinevere is kid appropriate?
Not for young kids, there’s blood and violence and language and so on
On a scale of 1 to Demon Hunter, what are we talking?
We only have one episode but so far it’s not exactly young kid appropriate… but it’s not fully adult animation either. The limited gore is slightly disturbing but technically from something comparable to a robot and while it does have some swearing it’s not often.
From my individual perspective as a parent, mine watched it and I’d say around 10 or so, you’d probably be okay. Best practice in my opinion though is always going to be to watch it yourself first and see how you feel.

Oh shit is Knights of Guinevere out?
Apparently, episode one/the pilot was released 2025-09-19. No followup episodes yet. Wikipedia, TMDB, Website, Pilot (YouTube, 26 min)
Is Owl House mainly a kids show? It seems like it.
Same question for Knights of Guinevere? Kids, YA, a bit of both but also interesting for adults?
Sure, just like disney movies it’s made primarily for pubescent humans. Won’t stop my ass from watching it.
Thank you for sharing this!
The dystopian future Disney would love to have.
Wait is that where Glitch came from?
Um, for those of us only just now finding out about this situation, what’s the AI issue here? Did they pirate some of Dana’s work with their AI, or is she inherently opposed to AI and Disney is just using it in general and that’s why she’s angry?
Full details: some people glean implications from people’s posts, I just want to clarify: I don’t care about AI, I’m just lost on what’s happening here (I only just discovered Dana Terrace exists after only just recently watching the owl house and being told about her other works, so I’m curious about if her stuff is being pirated by Disney via whatever AI stuff they’re doing)
It’s more or less in response to this https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/digital/disney-plus-gen-ai-user-generated-content-1236426135/
No clue what Disney is thinking here.
Beyond the implications to artists, people are going to get around any guardrails you can set up and when they do it’s going to be on every news outlet and they’ll all be saying that Disney officially approved use of its IP on these platforms.
People will immediately figure out how to make porn or Elsagate-type shit and Disney will get a bunch of angry parents asking why little Timmy was able to make videos of Goofy butchering and eating Donald Duck while completely naked.
Exactly, that is just going to happen, it’s going to gain a lot of traction no matter how good/bad it is, and Disney is going to be implicated because now its ‘official’.
Right now we are getting age verification everywhere. So this might very well become a adult only feature. Maybe a children version that is restricted to a symbolic interface.
I think they are trying to frontear new legal ideas regarding copyright law. That the IP still belongs to the platform/corporation after it went through a generative AI.
This sucks from an artist/worker pov. This sucks from public domain pov. But I think it’s reachable goal, especially for Disney.
