From LIFE ANIMATED: It is the sidekicks in the film who help Owen navigate the shades of gray, between moral precepts-beauty lies within; be true to yourself; love conquers all. It is how he has learned to navigate an often messy life.
At the end of the book, Owen begins to talk about Quasimodo, the character. He tells his Dad that Quasimodo lives with the gargoyles only when he is alone with them. He goes on to say the reason is, the answers are inside everyone. "He needed to breathe life into them, so he could talk to himself. It's the only way he could find out who he was." When his Dad asks him if he knows anyone like that, Owen answers, "Me." then adds, "but it can get lonely talking to yourself. And you have to live in the world."
Owen has learned, via Disney and very loving parents and a brother, how to live in the world!
