  • The show that allowed Disney to be dark on TV. After so many years does it still take flight? Let's take a look at the hit series, Gargoyles.
    Gargoyles is an American animated television series produced by Walt Disney Television and distributed by Buena Vista Television, and originally aired from October 24, 1994, to February 15, 1997. The series features a species of nocturnal creatures known as gargoyles that turn to stone during the day. After spending a thousand years in an enchanted petrified state, the gargoyles (who have been transported from medieval Scotland) are reawakened in modern-day New York City, and take on roles as the city's secret night-time protectors.

      since Disney is right now in the middle of the "Cartoons Wars" again CN and Netflix, maybe a new Reboot animated show or maybe a Continuation Animated show, something like Gargoyles Next generation, but they need to keep dark, and i don't know if Disney can pull that, you have a reason why Gargoyles is remembered as "that one disney dark cartoon"

(I should note I was like 4 when I saw the episode and youtube didn't exist then, but it stayed in my memories for years and when I found out about youtube and was looking for cartoons to watch the memory of that episode was strong enough for me to look it up)

      On the topic of rebooting the show; considering how well Ducktales is doing, I say...MAKE IT HAPPEN. Just make sure to do the following things.
      1. Get Greg Weisman to write it
      2. Get the original voice cast (many of whom are still alive today) to do the main characters. True, the likes of Tim Curry and Tony Jay (the voices of Dr. Savarius and Anubis) are no longer with us, you could still get good replacements.
      Corey Burton and the original voice of Kratos, Terrence C. Carson could work well with those characters.
      3. Find good actors for characters they haven't used yet; like Thor, Loki, Zeus and of course, Merlin
      4. Do not use ANY of the story elements from Goliath Chronicles
      5. Explore other mythologies like Hinduism or Shintoism

    The last season was definitely phoning it in and there was a whiff of trying to cash in on a toy line before the gravy train derailed, but this is a series that stands up to re-watching even as the original audience has grown up.

    This is my favorite Disney show of all time. None of the others can beat the story and the character development that went into this. I watched it again a couple of years ago and enjoyed it just as much, maybe even more so, as when I was a kid watching it in the 90s. There's so much mythology and Shakespearean lore woven into it so skillfully, and every character is so fleshed out. I will always recommend this show to anyone that hasn't seen it, and I hope Disney can make another awesome series like it in the future.

    Stone by day, warriors by night, we were betrayed by the humans we had sworn to protect, frozen in stone by a magic spell for a thousand years.

    We are defenders of the night!

    First two seasons, amazing, the gold standard of what a show for kids and adults can be. I love the use of shakespeare, mythology, and drama.
    Favorite episodes: the one with Puck, Fox turning into the monster, and the ones about Macbeth and Demona's past. Macbeth is a prime example of how you write I think, a great anti-hero. I mean you look at the episode King Arthur comes to New York to find excalibur and after fighting Macbeth, Arthur still treats him as the noble king he once was.

    Greg Weisman who worked on this show went on to develop Young Justice, a really awesome show that focuses on the DC comics sidekicks, years later on. Surprisingly, Weisman was able to get a lot of the voice actors from Gargoyles to come back and voice a few awesome characters, especially the villains, in Young Justice. My favorites include Keith David (Goliath in Gargoyles) returning as Mongul; Thom Adcox (Lexington in Gargoyles) returning as Klarion; and Marina Sirtis (Demona in Gargoyles) as Queen Bee.

  • @Loremastrful

    Sadly, there is nothing more I can add. Gargoyles is great. If you haven't seen it. Watch it. If you have enjoy watching it again.
    One of my favorite scenes was in Gathering Part 4. Goliath turns to stone and Elisa has to take on a team of mercs to protect him. The whole scene was intense and afterward you know Elisa is a perfect match for Goliath and crew. She can throw down with the best of them. She's no April O'Neill, she'll bust you up.

    My brother was Rob's same age when the show came on and he didn't deny watching it. He liked intelligent shows, hell, he even watched the Gummi Bears and said it was more intelligent than many cartoons on at that time. He watched Gargoyles more than I did and he followed the storylines as they appeared, just as you mentioned. I watched some, but he certainly told me about the episodes I didn't see. He was the first to notice that there were a lot of Trek stars (even Colm Meany and Kate Mulgrew) on the show. And, he agreed that they used those talents in an intelligent way. Even tho, he was a teenager and didn't care for the kind of thing, he still liked how well they had Goliath and Elisa dance around each other. He liked how Odin and Puck were the same person, but you didn't know that until later. Even the fact that MacBeth was a real person. Not forgeting character interaction between Demona and Angela. The fact that Goliath still sorta cared for Demona, but has no choice but to be the protagonist to her antagonist (while still having budding feelings for Elisa). And how Angela is in the middle of that, later.
    Anyway, if by the third season, you mean the Goliath Chronicles, I didn't watch it because the story had already started getting complicated with the stories of the past, like the appearance of MacBeth, the existence of Avalon, and such. But, my brother was going to continue to watch it since he was already a big fan. Until he saw that it had changed completely - and got worse because of it. In the previous season finale, Elisa had kissed Goliath as he was turning to stone, causing him to freeze in a surprised pose. It was an awesome ending to the season making you want to see the season premiere. For somebody he who had (and still has) no interest in romance and relationships, even he was disappointed by that the fact that It Was Never Mentioned, Again. Even I thought that didn't make sense. He said somebody else took over the show and changed it to their way. Anyway, after a few episodes my brother stopped watching it because of the changes. But, he to this day, he still says that Gargoyles was an excellent addition to Disney Afternoon and that he was glad to watch it every week (I think it was only on Fridays). Then he gladly told us all about it afterward - if he didn't manage to get me to watch it with him. If he did, he would update me on anything I missed before the episode was over. We do love to talk, after all!
