Old Man Owl

"What are you talking about, Master Sonic? I know how to handle them! I realize I'm a little older now, but back in my day I was quite the racer. Believe me, I was pretty popular with the ladies!"

- Old Man Owl neglecting Sonic's advice of not driving dangerous vehicles.

Old Man Owl (執事 Shitsuji) is a character in Sonic The Hedgehog: The Movie and is a messenger to Sonic and Tails. He is a brown yet blind owl who likes a wild life, which is exposed by his passion of driving dangerous vehicles, including his ship. By this tactic, he got very popular with various women.

Past
At some time, Old Man Owl became a messenger of the president, giving news to (most notably) Sonic the Hedgehog and Miles Prower.

Welcome to Eggmanland
When Tails plays with his bodyboard, he discovers Old Man Owl in his ship and is being chased by it. Tails calls Sonic multiple times for his help but ignores, Old Man then almost hits Sonic before turning upwards. Tails, flying above Sonic, suggests to help the owl in trouble, but Sonic neglects and Tails goes alone to save him. Tails is behind Old Man's ship and Old Man Owl greets Tails. Tails then exclaims that his engine is in fact on fire, which Old Man Owl is shocked by. Tails gets blown away by the engine, but tries to return. The ship almost hits Sonic again, but Tails manages to get on the wing. He then alarms him for crashing, but they later get saved by Sonic seconds after the explosion it caused.

Back on land, Old Man Owl got terrified by the experience. He gets back to normal after a pinch from a crabmeat. Being awoken, he gets asked what the commotion was for. Old Man Owl answers it's something about the president, but alas, he forgot the rest. He panics and looks for his pocket for the note, but Sonic already knows what the problem is. Tails takes out the tornado and Sonic, on top of it, tells Old Man too look after the island. Old Man Owl waves a napkin to them, in the wrong direction.

Sonic VS. Metal Sonic!!
At an evening, Old Man Owl lies down on Sonic's beach chair with his sunglasses on. Suddenly, Hyper Metal Sonic appears, Old Man Owl puts the sunglasses away quickly, he was not suspecting "Sonic's" arrival. Hyper Metal Sonic marches closer and presumably attacks him.

He is later seen on a video call with the president from the control center. Surprisingly, Old Man Owl has some sort of amnesia and starts acting "cool." His mind has been presumably altered.

Later, on the North Pole, Old Man Owl is saved from an crashed escape pod with the president also inside, he is saved by a damaged Metal Sonic, who later sinks into magma.

After Metal's death, Robotnik returns with a DVD of Metal's data, but Old Man Owl appears chasing a design faulty of Robotnik's and the fault explodes the DVD. After Knuckles stomps Sonic on the head and the two chase each other, Old Man Owl and the rest jump in Robotnik's Egg Mobile, chasing Sonic.
