Who is Jack Howl from Twisted Wonderland based on? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! Jack Howl is a sporty member of the Savanaclaw house. He's clearly based on a wolf as well, but Savanaclaw is based on The Lion King. Because of this, many fans are confused. After all, there are no wolves in that movie. There are many animals in The Lion King, but wolves are not one of them. It gets even more confusing when you consider the fact that there is only one hyena member instead of three. Most of the characters are pretty one-to-one with their movie counterparts, even if it's just visually. So why wouldn't Jack also be a hyena? Well, I believe I have the answer! There are no wolves in The Lion King, but there are wolves in other Disney movies. If we follow the pattern of older Disney films, wolves are somewhat notably included in Beauty And The Beast. Since Gaston is represented by Ashton Vargas in Twisted Wonderland, there is no house for Beauty And The Beast. Although some may argue he could be from a newer film like Sam, I don't really think that matters. Sam is based on Dr. Facilier, and The Princess And The Frog is still a 2D animated film that is much like the classics included in the game. There aren't many classic Disney films that highlight wolves as a villain in them at all, and there aren't really enough villains in some Disney films to create an extra dorm for. The only exception to this is Ignihyde, but that's most likely because Hades is such a beloved character. Not to mention there are two other hench-imps and some others in that film that they just chose not to use, so Hercules doesn't really have a lack of villains. I think it's safe to say that Jack Howl is based on a villain from a movie that either didn't have enough villains to warrant a house, or a minor villain that no one would remember very well; like the wolves from Beauty And The Beast. He was placed in Savanaclaw solely because he's a wolf and not because he has a connection to The Lion King. If he really is based on such a minor character, then it makes sense for them to just create him from scratch and place him in the most convenient house. But, these are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!
