Product Description
From Amazon.com
Since its 1994 debut, Disney's animated series Gargoyles has attracted a sophisticated viewership for its unusually thoughtful storyline, mature characters, literary allusions (Arthurian lore, Shakespeare), and parade of celebrity voiceovers. Part Gothic fantasy and part contemporary urban drama, Gargoyles begins with a brutal, 10th-century battle over a Scottish castle, which is guarded at night by winged gargoyles who become flesh in the dark (but who return to stone by day). Under the leadership of Goliath (Keith David), the gargoyles ward off an attack by Vikings, yet are met with disdain by those they protect, including a princess and her advisors. Such is the gargoyles' lot until they are betrayed by a friend and turned to stone for a thousand years. Rescued by a billionaire named Xanatos (Jonathan Frakes)--who breaks the spell by purchasing the castle and relocating it atop his Manhattan skyscraper--Goliath and his friends slowly adapt to the modern world and figure out whom they can trust. In a moving season finale, they adopt New York City as the home they vow to protect. With a certain urgency in every episode, tangled relationships between Goliath and his several allies and enemies (as well as characters who belong somewhere between), and a vocal cast full of Star Trek types (Michael Dorn, Nichelle Nichols, Marina Sirtis, among others), Gargoyles has great appeal to thinking viewers of any age. Special features include the original show pitch by series creator Greg Weisman. --Tom Keogh

Childhood memories,
By Fanchon (Cornwall, ON) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Gargoyles: The Complete First Season (DVD)
Some things are better as memories then they are refreshed in your mind.This is an example of that principal. I loved this show as a kid, but as an adult I see all it's flaws. Bad fight scenes, silly writing... But in the end, I realize I am still just as enamored with this show as I was before. Sure, Marina Sirtis' voice acting leaves a lot to be desired, but the stories are fun, they are there to try to teach kids lessons, and even as an adult I enjoy rewatching them with my niece and nephew. If anyone is looking to relive their childhood memories with their own children, this is a good show to pick. It was playing with the original Xmen, and it was an epic Saturday morning cartoon line-up.

This was a great Saturday morning cartoon series that is still amazing even today! Love the voice acting from some of the Star Trek TNG actors! They did a fantastic job with this series and its great to re-watch over and over again!

Gargoyles, the masterpiece! Get it!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Gargoyles: The Complete First Season (DVD)
This series has everything. Don't listen to those reviewers who say the villains didn't have motivations. EVERYONE had a motivation in this show. There were shades of gray and no one was stereotypical. The characters truly felt ALIVE. Experience the masterpiece that is Gargoyles for the first time on DVD. You won't regret it!
