Wow, from this pitch came one of the best Disney animated series ever made! As a film & animation buff, this certainly gives one an idea on how to pitch a new show or a film to a studio. So yeah, take a lesson from this, film & animation students. It just might help you in your careers.
+velociraptor4you If you can find a copy online, read the Gummi Bears show bible sometime. Its pitch was surprisingly similar and, like Gargoyles, it turned out to be one of their best shows.
+bartsimpson83 I will, thank you. 😊 "Gummi Bears" is a show I didn't watch a lot of as a kid. But I am aware that it's regarded as one of Disney's best shows.
HOW CAN WE GET TO CONTINUE THE SERIES?!?!?! I love this show and am once again totally obsessed with it. Tell the World Wide Clan what we can do to bring them back!!!
Hands down this has to be one of the most well written shows (not including season 3 of course) than any other tv shows in the last 20 years, from character biography, character interaction with one another to plot and location all of those things led to an almost perfect series. If you stories from ancient times ,sorcery, villains that become friends, love and betrayal than you'll love gargoyles
Greg Weisman you are truly living up to the title, living legend. Infact, you put the wise into Weisman and even an inspiration in universal proportions.
Oh god, I had forgotten about this show! It was my absolute favorite when I was four! Seriously, only thing that could get me up in the morning :) I miss it so much...
I wish Disney will rebooted Gargoyles as a animated series again.also, Top 8 things for a Gargoyles Reboot: 1.More Darker Tone 2.More Dramatic and Humorus 3.Better Artwork and Character Design 4.New Characters 5.More Shakeapeare and Mythical themes 6.it contains more Science Fiction and Fantasy elements 6.Original characters will return 8.New Voice Cast with some old actor from the original cartoon
I am SO glad the character design was changed, but the picture of Goliath reading a book and sitting on Brooklyn, Lexington, and Broadway to keep them out of trouble was kind of funny.
I TOTALLY AGREE! I hope Disney or some one comes out with either an animated full length feature or like you said a live action film. If someone does I really REALLY hope it's better than the dreck that almost always comes from Hollywood.
I think I speak for every fan, I guess it could be consider the Worldwide Clan, when I say please, if Disney has any shred of the humanity that made this series great, please, for the love of Avalon and all things sacred, bring this back, make a live-action movie, do something, just don't let it go the way of any great classic, letting it gather moss, frozen in stone for the rest of time. And yes, I know there's a comic, but it just doesn't feel like enough.
Haha that last picture was funny! XD OMG I loved this show as a kid; it was epic and Xanatos was the best villain ever as everytime he lost he actually benefited from it in some way. Nice.
1 person dislikes quality story telling, engaging characters with good design, & top notch vocal work with inspiring music. So sad to be that lonely 1 person!!!
It stinks the show just ended. I really enjoyed it and would have liked some of the stories to be wrapped up a bit more. Maybe 1-2 more seasons added before finally ending. Unfortunately nowadays you barley ever see the show on except at like 5 in the morning or so.
Gargoyles is one of my favorite shows due to the amazing, detailed writing. But I would have given his series a chance, just based on how handsome Greg Weisman was/is.
@Bigman961000 I don't believe so. He's apparently producing an animated series for Warner Bros. called "Young Justice", which is coming out shortly. Bit of a drag that it's a DC Comics show instead of original content, but with our man Weisman involved, it should be pretty good.
You're welcome, glad to help out. :D Elisa used to be Hispanic, but she was changed to Native American when Salli Richardson was cast as her voice actress. In my opinion, she's what Pocahontas SHOULD have looked like. ;)
@@Dehslash9 Yeah, people have to remember that this was just the original pitch to get the show greenlit. . .A lot of details were not finalized yet-while it looks like Goliath changed very little from pitch to show (minus some details such as nails on his claws. . .)-Hudson, Brooklyn, Broadway, Lexington, and Bronx all look remarkably different than they do the show. .. And Eliza and Xanatos are kinda similar already to their show versions but not quite yet. . . And the original pitch only covers the first four episodes of the series, which served as the pilot. . .Obviously, you can tell Demona is literally not quite in the picture yet. . .nor MacBeth. . .or even Princess Katherine and the Magus (at least for him, by name anyway. . .). It's rather interesting to see still that Wiseman and the other creator took that first pitch and really fleshed out the entire world throughout the first two seasons. . .It's actually pretty remarkable. . .
I been thinking it would be cool since Greg Weisman owns the rights again since he is makeing the comics that he remake the show starting at a redo of season 3 & base the stories from his comics
Thats exactly wat i had in mind.. a live action gargoyles movie, seeing as how they'v gotten so good with cgi.. take "hellboy" for example.. but hollywood would surly ruin it, like they have most movies about cartoons.. ex. dragonball
+Jason Morris-It's likely Princess Katherine and the Magus were not conceived at the time of the pitch and were included far later in the process. . .MacBeth obviously was, as was The Pack-Fox, Dingo, Jackel, and Hyena. . .Nor is there any mention of Oberon's children because that was likely not fleshed out all the way until sometime after season one. . .
if this is how they pitched it to the execs at disney channel, HOW THE HELL DID THEY GET THE DEAL....jk.. the show kicks ass, but his presentation is so BOOOORING.. lol.. jus got the first season on dvd.. man i'm so excited..
Don't say that. You never. But I won't let you down and not consider your view. It is hard to stay true to shows, especially cartoons; but you never know.
Hey can they make an official Live Action Movie 🎥 out of this called Gargoyles base on the Disney Animated series but unfortunately it’s not going to be from Walt Disney how about Universal Pictures will own the rights for Gargoyles Two movie directors names are Michael Spierig & Peter Spierig (who made Jigsaw and Winchester) Or One Director name Joe Johnston (who made The Wolfman 2010’s remake And Captain America The First Avenger) Film producers like Sam Raimi Robert Rodriguez and Guillermo del Toro Make Up Artist by Greg Nicotero (From KNB Effects Group) and Tom Savini (the original make up artist) even Casting choice like Jason Momoa as Goliath Bradley Cooper As Brooklyn John C. Reilly as Broadway Don Cheadle as Lexington Rory McCann as Hudson Vanessa Hudgens as Elisa Maza Natalia Dyer as Angela and even the bad guys like Josh Brolin as David Xanatos Alice Eve as Demona Scarlett Johansson as Fox Xanatos Michael B. Jordan as Coldstone and Jake Gyllenhaal as Dr. Anton Sevarius and a surprise cameo will be Keith David Jonathan Frakes as the homeless bums and also Salli Richardson-Whitfield as the restaurant waitress that might be a surprise cameo appearance But now Universal pictures will make Gargoyles into a Dark Greedy tone with blood 🩸 gore violence sex nudity and swearing 🤬 but it’s going too be Rated R for mature audience sounds cool?
Of course he wouldn't. Anyone who's lived working for Disney long enough to see what it's become compared to the time when Gargoyles was conceived wouldn't stay there. Suicide is all that befits someone so demotivated had they actually stayed...
Watching this just reminds me of how assbackwards Disney was and still is. An animation powerhouse since the 1930's, yet they followed the same formula decade after decade: anthropomorphic woodland creatures, sudden bursts into song, simple morality, etc. Even with Pixar today it's the same crap, with the addition of the snarky double-entendres designed to keep parents from falling into a coma. When I saw Gargoyles, I thought maybe Disney finally got with it. But alas, they treated this wonderful show like some bastard Cinderella. Poor marketing, budget cuts, and an eventual loss of focus in an unstable time slot on Saturday mornings marked the end. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy classic Disney, but they are, in the end, nothing but whores pandering toys and theme parks to the perpetual influx of children we keep producing for them.
+blahblahbleebleeblah Thanks for that. I needed a good laugh. You Disney haters always amuse my with your epically wrong mischaracterizations. Question: How can you hate something if it's completely obvious you know nothing about it? At all?
I see what you did there. It's a rhetorical trick. Anything I say you'll dismiss so you somehow end up being "right", even if you're not. I'm not gonna fall for that one again. Sorry.
bartsimpson83 And by throwing a blanket accusation at me without providing evidence, you end up "being right." as well. If your arguments are sound, there should be little give-back. The problem is you make an assumption that what I said is (with due respect to the Gargoyles) "set in stone." I gave an opinion with valid reasoning. There is no right and wrong. You, on the other hand, made 2 untrue statements about me in your initial reply, which forces you to prove your claims.
Toys and merchandise are what pays for the production dude. That's just how its always been from the very beginning since G.I.Joe was created. The cartoon business is a just that - a business - and it rely's on people paying for it in all forms of commercialism. Basically what I'm saying is, ratings don't count for jack, merchandise makes them more money for them to pay for the production. At some point the people just lost interest in it after 78 episodes. The proof of this idea is in Young Justice and My Little Pony, Young Justice - Good ratings, bad toy sales = Cancelled - DVD sales go way up = Renewed by Netflix. My Little Pony - Declining ratings, Good Toy Sales = Renewed.

I laughed my ass off the minute I saw young Greg. Night and Day man. I'm so used to seeing Old Greg.
Disney Plus will revive interest in this classic.
Hands down this has to be one of the most well written shows (not including season 3 of course) than any other tv shows in the last 20 years, from character biography, character interaction with one another to plot and location all of those things led to an almost perfect series.

This is a treasure of a video. How have I never seen this before?!
This was one of my favorite disney shows
Greg Weisman you are truly living up to the title, living legend. Infact, you put the wise into Weisman and even an inspiration in universal proportions.
I keep coming back to this, all these years later just for the hit of dopamine. What a great moment in time.
The series with those early Gargoyle drawings would have been awesome....i like how it ended up but those were crazy!
Oh god, I had forgotten about this show! It was my absolute favorite when I was four! Seriously, only thing that could get me up in the morning :)
I miss it so much...

Thanks for posting this vid!
Fantastic pitch, I love this series! :) Gotta get Season 1 on dvd
I TOTALLY AGREE! I hope Disney or some one comes out with either an animated full length feature or like you said a live action film. If someone does I really REALLY hope it's better than the dreck that almost always comes from Hollywood.
How much does anyone wanna bet that what sold the pitch was that last picture of the kid with the Mickey Mouse hat and balloon?
10 bucks maybe
This is such a great resource. Thank you for sharing.
Dude, I died laughing at the ending picture XD this is great stuff, thanks for posting it!

I love that last image. Poor little kid . . .
So cool. Behind the scenes looks at stuff before it was made is some of the best stuff, and the main reason I love YT and dvd extras. Thank you!
I second it!
This the landmark of cartoon shows. A unique and unusual masterpiece.
Eliza Maza:Female version of James Gordon/George Stacy
David Xanatos:Evil Version of Bruce Wayne/Tony Stark
Weisman is a god among animators :D
Wow, I watched this show as I kid, now as an adult that understand a business pitch this made me want to watch the show as a new watcher.
i loved the show so much! i wish they still showed it on tv
I love that picture at 3:08 and how frightened Goliath looks....and of course, 3:56.
I loved this show! it was one of my favorites!
1 person dislikes quality story telling, engaging characters with good design, & top notch vocal work with inspiring music. So sad to be that lonely 1 person!!!
HAHA!! the picture of Goliath in disguise on the subway & the last pic of the kid's face....I laughed out loud!! :D
Hands down the coolest thing that ever came from Disney.
Please a freaking reboot for Disney Gargoyles:
Animated Series
Or
Live Action Movie
Or better yet, a continuation, since Greg Weisman still has so many unrealized plans.
the last image actually made me cry i laughed so hard! xD
Omg, this just made my DAY!!!
Man this is so awesome to see!
Thanks a lot :D!
Highly entertaining! Thank u for posting it!
Totally want to work for Greg, along with Bruce Timm is the best animation producer going 'round.
i miss this show.
It stinks the show just ended. I really enjoyed it and would have liked some of the stories to be wrapped up a bit more. Maybe 1-2 more seasons added before finally ending. Unfortunately nowadays you barley ever see the show on except at like 5 in the morning or so.

so glad they changed what bronx and hudson looked like

@BassParadym Yeah, but it's hard to find. Go to amazon,it should be there.
You're welcome, glad to help out. :D
Elisa used to be Hispanic, but she was changed to Native American when Salli Richardson was cast as her voice actress.
In my opinion, she's what Pocahontas SHOULD have looked like. ;)
Hmmm. I always thought her last name was Maza. I didn't know they changed it.
It is, this is early concept.
@@Dehslash9 Yeah, people have to remember that this was just the original pitch to get the show greenlit. . .A lot of details were not finalized yet-while it looks like Goliath changed very little from pitch to show (minus some details such as nails on his claws. . .)-Hudson, Brooklyn, Broadway, Lexington, and Bronx all look remarkably different than they do the show. ..

Revival or Reboot for Dianey Gargoyles
i am buying it right now at classicdiscs the title is "Gargoyles 1994 Animated Series Complete DVD Set"
Tell Disney we need The Goliath Chronicles on DVD. Or for Disney Movie Rewards
@Juria316
Truer words have never been spoken, my friend.
i loved this show
so funny to see Goliath disguised in the subway train! LOL
O_O o my god.. F***ING BRILLIANT !!! i would give you over 9000 thumbs up if i could man
well shes 50% native american and 50% african american
Man I loved this (cartoon) show.
Wow!
@Juria316 THERES A COMIC???
@Juria316 I totally agree with you.. but it would never be the same. The only way the gargoyles we knew and loved will love on, is with us. :)
3:58 Mommy.
originally she was but they changed it.
Just in case you didn't know, Here's some video proof of just how old I am.
Thats exactly wat i had in mind.. a live action gargoyles movie, seeing as how they'v gotten so good with cgi.. take "hellboy" for example.. but hollywood would surly ruin it, like they have most movies about cartoons.. ex. dragonball
@sonicvsrambo no they aren't. It's Good!
Greg more of Princess Kathrine and Magus !
+Jason Morris-It's likely Princess Katherine and the Magus were not conceived at the time of the pitch and were included far later in the process. . .MacBeth obviously was, as was The Pack-Fox, Dingo, Jackel, and Hyena. . .Nor is there any mention of Oberon's children because that was likely not fleshed out all the way until sometime after season one. . .
@PKBitchGirl
Now imagine if Guillermo Del Toro did it.
I didn't make it, but you're welcome. :)
@PKBitchGirl hilarious
if this is how they pitched it to the execs at disney channel, HOW THE HELL DID THEY GET THE DEAL....jk.. the show kicks ass, but his presentation is so BOOOORING.. lol..
jus got the first season on dvd.. man i'm so excited..
Live action Movie!~ Now!!. I have a director in mind!!, BRAD BIRD!!!.
And for the Music Score, John Debney and Michael Giacchino.
No Hannah Montana and wizards of waverly place should continue, but They should bring Gargoyles back as well!
Don't say that. You never. But I won't let you down and not consider your view. It is hard to stay true to shows, especially cartoons; but you never know.
I thought she had some Hispanic background in there too.

Disney Really needs to do a live action version. Tristin Mays as Alicia Maza ruclips.net/video/z0bCTHWMMCU/видео.html
plus the soundtrack would have something Linkin Park'ish to it
wish they kept the stone hard skin
Im glad they didnt go with that original design for Bronx.
That was just too goofy.
Of course he wouldn't. Anyone who's lived working for Disney long enough to see what it's become compared to the time when Gargoyles was conceived wouldn't stay there. Suicide is all that befits someone so demotivated had they actually stayed...
Goliath on the subway =
I rather like Elisa's original look. She looked a lot edgier and more ethnic.
*Shrug* It's professional.

@His tone is boring but the content of the presentation isn't
wow that so boring unlike the show
