Here's hoping Disney will realize the error of their ways and bring this show back. And they had to live with the consequences of their actions, which sometimes came back to haunt them in later episodes. They found out the hard way who their friends and enemies were. They matured, sometimes in ways unexpected. Things HAPPENED to them! They actually got HURT as a result of violence. For being a clan of gargoyles (with a couple of humans), these characters were as real as you and I. The best thing about the series, however, was the characters. ![]() Folks, WHAT MORE COULD YOU POSSIBLY ASK FOR? This series had the most tightly structured story lines ever-there was not a single moment of dead air anytime. Plot-Action, drama, technology, mythology, humor and a little Shakespeare on the side. To this day, I still can't believe Disney did this one. The shots of the clan as stone statues are downright eerie at times. They beautifully set the tone and underlined the action and the drama. (Loved the white hair!) Music-Carl Johnson's scores were great. Jeff Bennett was also great as Brooklyn, my favorite character. In the role of Goliath, Keith David demonstrated that he possesses one of the greatest speaking voices of any actor in the business. The voice cast was so good that to this day I cannot imagine anyone else filling the bill. Voices-Many's the time I have thought that they could have chosen a better actor for a part in animation. ![]() If this wasn't a groundbreaking show, it certainly raised the bar sky high. I have just one question: How can Disney Television Animation produce such a wonderful show as "Gargoyles" for a couple of seasons and then go back to being Disney Television Animation? I simply cannot understand it, and if anyone has any thoughts, PLEASE share them with me! This show was a breath of fresh air on every level.
