DVD Reviews of Gargoyles - The Complete First Season (Special 10th Anniversary Edition)
DVD Review: perfect
Summary: 5 Stars
this is one of the greatest series, along with batman: the animated series (a clear influence in the gargoyles series). the episodes are great; the extras area great; the dvd set arrived in perfect condition. thank you!DVD Review: a show that has never aged in its plethora of wonderful messages
Summary: 5 Stars
As a middle schooler, I would run home from the bus and turn on the TV to watch Gargoyles religiously and repeatedly. Rewatching the series as an adult allows me to acknowledge the fact that this show is superior to any other cartoon show. The themes of family, friendship, tolerance, duty, honor, etc. are prevalent on this show and the stories are incredibly compelling. The lessons this show taught kids - too much TV is never a good thing, respect your elders, etc. are timeless.
Even with Pixar's incredible animation, Gargoyles is able to compete with their hand drawn, 2-D illustrations - the drawings are just that good.
This is an incredible show and a must-see for adults even more so than for children.

Summary: 5 Stars
This one of the best television shows ever made! The fact that it came from Disney is even more incredible! (I was not a fan of their other programs.) The influence of the Batman series that was running at the time is obvious and very welcome! The intelligent writing and mature themes were a big hit with kids and adults alike. I myself was in my late 20's, and never missed an episode. (I only wish there were some programs like it today!) Considering how popular it was with kids at the time, I'm surprised there's not more of a following for it. (Those toys were big sellers in their day.) The voice acting was some of the best ever done for any animated series, American or Japanese! Every episode was a great game of "try and guess the voice". Was there any ST TNG cast regular who didn't voice a character? (Not to mention Keith David who was doing Spawn on HBO about that time, another underrated show.) This show went places few other "kids shows" dared to go. True life and death struggles, real betrayal and many grey areas when it came to right and wrong. The science and technology was very respectfully treated and when combined with the magical/fantasy aspects made for very engaging stories and action. I am disappointed to hear Disney has not released Season 2 Vol. 2, but not surprised. These are the same people who put Gargoyles on their own network and edited them mercilessly! Needless to say I purchased the portions of the series that were available to see them as originally aired and await the rest. I would recommend that if you love Gargoyles you might like all the Warner/DC shows (Batman to JLU), Exosquad(a MUST see!) and Robotech(though it is showing it's age a bit, it's still worth it uncut!) Let Disney know they need to release the rest of Season 2 at least! (The Goliath Chronicles do NOT live up to the rest of the series, noticeably poor animation and writing, don't bother unless you HAVE to have a complete collection.) We want to see the world tour!
DVD Review: A show from the glory days of American childrens animation...
Summary: 5 Stars
Once uppon a time, in an era known as the Roaring 90's, you could see cartoons in any time block kids were likely to be watching TV without even having to have cable. It is in these ancient times that several excellently written, exciting, and intelligent kid's shows were born into the 2:00 P.M.-5:00 P.M. time block. One of the greatest of these was Gargoyles.
Concerning the adventures, trials, and tribulations of a clan of Gargoyles cursed to remain stone until their castle towered over the clouds in ancient Scotland who's curse was broken by the modern buisness man David Xanatos, Gargoyles is truly one of the shining creative gems of American animation. Even if you watched this series as a kid, as an adult or teenager you will still be enthralled in the story line. The characters in the series, both protagonists and antagonists, are generally more three dimensional than is common for most shows aimed at the same target audience and even episodes about common kid's show themes such as trust, friendship, and family are written with a maturity level that is now rare in any show meant for people under 30.
In a time when American cartoons (and shows aimed at a young adult audience and the people who edit anime for US television as well) tend to sacrifice plot and character development in order to appeal to the lowest common denominator, Gargoyles is a breath of fresh air, whether you're 2 or 52, without having to delve into the anime section of your local video store.
Description of Gargoyles - The Complete First Season (Special 10th Anniversary Edition)
Experience all 13 thrilling episodes of GARGOYLES' first season in this spectacular 10th anniversary 2-disc DVD set, complete with exclusive bonus features. It's action-packed animation at its very best! For 1,000 years, a race of heroic creatures has been frozen in stone -- the victims of human betrayal. Now, with the magic spell broken, these amazing Gargoyles awaken from their slumber to find themselves transported from the moors of Scotland to the bustling metropolis of New York City. Follow each suspenseful episode to find out if this proud clan of winged warriors will seek revenge on the race that betrayed them.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
