  • The dark and more mature side of Disney

    Disney is known for creating happy and friendly TV shows, but that doesn't mean that they aren't dark either. Their first and only dark show, Gargoyles, was a successful answer to the growing popularity to Batman: TAS and in my opinion is one of Disney's greatest shows ever. The show is about Gargoyles who once long ago were defenders of the night. However a group of humans betrayed and destroyed most of the Gargoyles, now there are only 6. To save themselves, the leader of the Gargoyles, Goliath, made a human freeze him and his other Gargoyles in stone. For 1000 years they stay frozen until, a man named David Xanatos broke the spell and they live again. We then meet the other Gargoyles. Hudson, named after the Hudson River, is a wise old Gargoyle who still knows how to pack a punch. Lexington is a mechanical genius. Brooklyn is 2nd in command of the Gargoyles and a bit rebellious. Broadway is the comedy relief, but that doesn't mean he doesn't get serious. Bronx is the dog like Gargoyle who can't fly, but is quick and ferocious. Finally, Goliath, the leader of the Gargoyles. Even the villains are interesting, ranging from magical creatures like Puck and even Demona, a gargoyle who survived the purge 1000 years ago and was Goliath's love interest becomes evil after years of hatred toward humans. All the characters in this show are perfectly developed and we get plenty of back story about them and why they became the way they did in the show. The voice work is done mostly by cast members of Star Trek: TNG, and each one of them do a great job and everyone else does a superb job as well. The stories are very interesting and are very creative as well. While the show is dark most of the time, it does a good job of also being a bit light as well. The artwork is excellent and some of the best I have ever seen on a cartoon, you can feel the dark atmosphere as you see the show and the characters are drawn uniquely. The animation is also some of the best I have ever seen and there is never the same animation used again and again. Bottom Line, this is a must see show in TV. It has complex characters, gripping stories, and while dark, it can be light from time to time. See these defenders of the night if you can on the internet or find them on DVD and check out this gem from Disney.moreless

    I use to watch this animated series when I was younger and when the series was still airing on television. It was one of best animated series that Disney Channel created, after all it last a few years before they had to end the series for whatever reasons. I use to stay up late to watch the series. Anyway, this series is great for kids and to anyone interested in the series for whatever reason. I am glad I was able to see this series while it was still airing on television. Good luck for those who got looking for this series.moreless

    I didn't watch gargoyles very much when I was very young, but about the time I was 10 I started watching it and felt like I had missed out on a good thing. It's very creative and I don't see many shows like this on the disney channel to begin with. The villans are cool and the stories are intresting.

    It's not afraid to kill a few people, even if there is no blood there is still people dying, and that is pretty cool for disney.

    There is a reason it's still on late on Toon Disney, because it's awsome and great to watch in the dark.moreless

    I liked this show once in a while. It managed to keep my interest when there was nothing else on. I must say that it got old after a few episodes. I don't think I ever cared if I missed the show because it wasn't even a show in which I wanted to watch if there were other shows on. The action is what I actually liked, but aside from that, there wasn't much to hold my interest. The storylines were boring and predictable, and the entertainment value was just okay. Overall, this was an okay show that had some decent entertainment value, but wasn't one of my favorites. Thank you.moreless
