The History of Gargoyles: Disney's Spookiest Series

On this episode Dan covers the history of Disney's Gargoyles.
Spookier and darker than almost anything had done at the time, this 3 season animated series lasted only 78 episodes despite some big hopes.
But even with all that, this series still has a ton of fans to this day that hope to someday see the Gargoyles return.

"One thousand years ago, superstition and the sword ruled. It was a time of darkness, it was a world of fear, it was the age of Gargoyles. 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. Now, here in Manhattan, the spell is broken and we live again! We are defenders of the night, we are Gargoyles!"

It also gave me faces to put to the names when reading about Oberon, Titania and Pick in Midsummer Dream, MacBeth and the weird Sisters and so on.

Ludwig von Schinken Season 3 of Gargoyles was called “The Goliath Chronicles” which creator Greg Weisman wasn’t involved with and isn’t considered canon by him or fans. There were major changes with the production with different animators who were not familiar with the first two seasons and did not have enough time to properly prepare for. Weisman said he didn’t do season 3 because he wasn’t given enough time to do it the way how he wanted it. The team that took over weren’t given much time either. They also made major alterations to the story outlines Weisman provided for season 3.

Gargoyles is one of the few '90's cartoons' that actually aged well. While I am still of the firm belief that the 80's & 90's were a Golden Age of cartoons, and far, FAR better than most of the drek on kids TV nowadays, I also recognize that there's a certain amount of 'nostalgia glasses' going on when I think back to them. That said, Gargoyles really IS just as good today as it was back then, and it totally holds up upon rewatching. Thanks for this review. It made my inner little kid really happy. :)

@JR-ju3kj 3 жыл бұрын

Agreed.Gargoyles still holds up today and it's aged well,which I think should always be a goal for any TV show,movie,book,comic,etc-that it still holds up years into the future.I also agree that the 80s and 90s were a Golden Age of cartoons! I always say that I feel sorry for the kids of today because they won't get to grow up with the great cartoons that many of us did! But at the same time,with DVDs,streaming and the internet,parents can still expose their kids to the great cartoons(and animated movies) of the 80s and 90s. That's pretty much what my brother and his wife are doing with their kids.

I think it was great, because unlike other shows it didn’t talk down to kids. It gave full planned out stories and didn’t have to be a one episode one off like so many other animated shows. Each episode led into the next and kept you coming back to find out what happened next. Great show. Great storytelling. AMAZING cast!

My siblings and I rarely agree on anything pop culture related. Gargoyles was one of the few shows we all watched and enjoyed together. Toon Disney aired two episodes every weeknight for a couple years in the very early 2000s and we watched the whole series several times that way. I still have no idea how we ended up doing that. We all just kind of spontaneously sat down every night and watched it at the same time. To me, that illustrates just how good this show is.

@JR-ju3kj 3 жыл бұрын

Same here.I still go back and watch the old episodes whenever I feel like it and have the time to do it. Like you said,the show still holds up! I always say that that should be a goal for anyone who makes(or will make in the future)a TV show,movie,book,comic book and so on-that it should hold up years into the future. Obviously,anything current and from the present will eventually become the past because time never stops moving and marching forward and by setting itself in the then-present,1994,I guess that's really the only way that the show dates itself. But other than that, for a show that debuted 27 years ago(and I'm guessing actual work and production on the show probably started in 1993 or even 1992,considering how much hard work it is to do animation and how long it takes to do animation),the show still holds up really well and doesn't feel dated at all. Hard to believe it was 27 years ago! Man! I feel old! Ha! Ha!

@drizzlecake 2 жыл бұрын

ive been watching it on disney+ these past couple weeks and its so freaking good, genuinely my favorite story driven cartoon like ever at this point. the family dynamic between the main six gargoyles is really cute, plus as someone whos been obsessed with magic and folklore and monsters ever since i was a little kid its always cool to see something familiar be added to the story and get to be like “hey i know about that!!”. i especially love the introductions to multiple different cultures and the life lessons taught during the “avalon world tour” arc as well as how gargoyles can look insanely different based on where in the world they came from. i also love the heavy themes of trauma and trust within season 1 + first half or so of season 2. theyve all been through terrifying changes to their lives and it just feels easier to pin the cause onto humans, even if they fully know that those responsible for their pain have been gone just as long as they have, but until season 2 episode 36 as far as most of the main 6 is concerned theyre the only gargoyles left, and just like back then they are alone surrounded by a society that fears them as long as they even know of their existence. demona even uses this to her advantage to manipulate brooklyn into her point of view in the season 1 episode temptation, all while having damn near the same issues as them. but time goes on, things change, people change, magical creatures change. they adapt to the new generation and rebuild their life, brooklyn broadway and lexington overcome their grudges from that trio of episodes in season 1 and all of them learn from their struggles together as a family. after the s2 episode where goliath learns about integrity, and taking responsibility for your actions even if you didnt know they were wrong, i thought they may have been setting up a redemption arc for demona. i have a lot of thoughts about her, but long story short the way i see it her inability to admit her mistakes, no matter how fargone in the past they are, is the one thing holding her back from healing and becoming a better,, person? but despite this, i only have about 7 episodes left to watch in season 2 so the chance of this is slimming quickly. my god wow that was a lot im so sorry lol but tl;dr i read way deeper into childrens shows than necessary but regardless of that gargoyles is super good and i love it p.s. brooklyn is the best character

It was only just now that I discovered the true connection between the two, though! It makes so much sense!
