Show Summary

"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!" Gargoyles is an animated series created and produced by Greg Weisman, and aired from October 24, 1994 to 1997.

  • Mix of Sci-Fi and Fantasy

    10
    By hypathio7, Mar 25, 2013
    This Disney after-school TV series had many multiple episode story arches. It's not what you'd expect from a Disney cartoon- it's darker, more dramatic, a great mix of sci-fi and fantasy. As the series progresses more and more mythical and Shakespearian characters pop up and many Star Trek actors provide their voices. From animation voice actor regulars like Thom Adcox-Hernadez, Kath Soucie, Ed Gilbert, Bill ***erbakke, Jeff Bennett and Frank Welker to more familiar faces like Clancy Brown, Edward Asner, Sallie Richardson, Marina Sirtis, Jonathan Frakes and Keith David the cast is stunning. I stand by my 10-star rating for the story of these heroes!moreless

  • The dark and more mature side of Disney

    10
    By That_TV_Dude, Jan 02, 2011
    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

  • Creative

    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
