What Owlegories does

Owlegories is a privately held, family-operated Christian children's media company founded in 2014 by the Boto Family in Keller, Texas. Its core product is a gospel-centered animated series following student owls on adventures that teach biblical lessons through nature-themed episodes (sun, seed, water, fire, etc.), tied thematically to Psalm 19:1-4. Season 1 consists of 18 episodes packaged into 6 DVD volumes, with several episodes featuring cameo messages from prominent Christian pastors and authors including Dr. Tony Evans, Matt Chandler, Robert Morris, Jen Wilkin, Trillia Newbell, and Angie Smith.

The company extends its content through three iOS mobile applications: Owlegories TV (episode streaming), Memory Verses (gamified Bible memorization, listed as "Coming Soon"), and The Original (the 2014 interactive storybook app featuring extended-family voice contributions). The underlying technology is conventional animated video production paired with standard mobile app development; no AI/ML, proprietary platform, or data-driven features are disclosed.

Owlegories monetizes through one-time DVD sales distributed via Walmart, Amazon, LifeWay Christian Store, Family Christian Store, and a direct-to-consumer e-commerce storefront at Shop.Owlegories.com, supplemented by freemium mobile app distribution on the iOS App Store. The target customer is Christian families with children ages 4-12 seeking faith-based alternatives to secular entertainment. The company is bootstrapped with no institutional funding disclosed, operates with 11–50 employees per firmographic data, and shows signs of dormancy — the website blog currently returns a WordPress critical error and the operating status is flagged as effectively closed.
