Shout out for Eglantine

• Reviews & Press

She has been chosen one of Zack Snyder's best female characters

Zack Snyder has a reputation for telling very serious stories with very serious characters, and while Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole (2010) is hardly an exception with its application of mythical drama to a much more kid-friendly movie, one character stands out as indisputably Snyder's most light-hearted.

Eglantine is a barn owlet and younger sister to the story's protagonist Soren. Voiced by Adrienne DeFaria, what makes her great is simply her intense innocence. With fascistic villains lusting for power, glory, and racial purity, the adorable Eglantine with her wide eyes represents everything the heroes are fighting to protect. Someone so adorable cannot be allowed to come to harm.
