Product Description

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.

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

"Stone by Day, Warriors by Night"
-This is a review for Gargoyles: The Complete First Season (2-disc Special 10th Anniversary Edition)-In 1994, the Walt Disney studio took a risk on an unusually dark premise for an animated television series. Little did they know that it would become a critically acclaimed epic. Over a decade after it's cancellation, the series has a devoted cult following. The series was exceptionally well written and the animation surpassed just about every other animated series on TV at the time. But what really made Gargoyles stand out was its mythological, philosophical, psychological and social depth. The stories utilized everything from Shakespearean melodrama to science fiction, from medieval folklore to organized crime. It was also very progressive in a sociopolitical sense. It took a stand against all forms of prejudice and bigotry, and even featured an episode devoted to the dangers of handguns.The story involves a clan of gargoyles, creatures who are stone by day but flesh and blood warriors by night. The gargoyles are betrayed by the humans they once protected and are frozen in an enchanted sleep for a thousand years. An egotistical and corrupt billionaire awakens them in modern day Manhattan. There they must learn to adapt to a drastically different world where those they protect fear them and those that offer them their support only seek to control them.The series had an amazing cast of voices to bring to life an even more amazing cast of characters, including:Goliath- voiced by Keith DavidThe noble leader of the gargoyle clan and a fearsome yet just warriorHudson- voiced by Ed AsnerThe venerable former leader of the clan, and Goliath's most trusted friend and allyBrooklyn- voiced by Jeff BennettThe most courageous of the younger gargoyles, Brooklyn proves himself to be a natural leaderLexington- voiced by Thom Adcox HernandezThe most scientifically minded of the clan, Lexington often helps the others to understand technologyBroadway- voiced by Bill FagerbakkeThe portly and somewhat naïve gargoyle who looks for the best in everyoneBronx- voiced by Frank WelkerThe gargoyles' dog like pet, fearsome yet friendly and always loyalDemona- voiced by Marina SirtisGoliath's former lover and second in command, now his most vicious enemyElisa Maza- voiced by Salli RichardsonA New York City detective who may be the only human that the gargoyles can trustXanatos- voiced by Jonathan FrakesThe billionaire responsible for awakening the gargoyles and the most deceptive of all their adversariesOwen Burnett- voiced by Jeff BennettXanatos' enigmatic and ambiguous right-hand man who holds an astonishing secretPrincess Katharine- voiced by Kath SoucieAt first prejudiced against the gargoyles, the princess later championed them for their righteousness and braveryThe Magus- voiced by Jeff BennettThe brash wizard who cast the spell on the gargoyles and later raised the hatchlingsHakon- voiced by Clancy BrownThe cruel Viking leader responsible for slaughtering the gargoyle clan in 994 A.D.Macbeth- voiced by John Rhys-DaviesAn immortal warrior king who may or may not be the gargoyles' foeColdstone- voiced by Michael DornFormerly a friend of Goliath, now a reanimated monster under Xanatos' controlThe PackA group of mercenaries given their own TV show, The Pack are a force to be reckoned withThe Steel ClanXanatos' robotic army created to keep the gargoyles in his control or destroy them if neededThe thirteen Season One episodes included in this 2-disc set are:1.

Gargoyles wasn't just a flash in the pan trend like many of today's cartoons. It's an intelligent and provocative masterpiece that shows that even if you're different that you can still be accepted, and more importantly that we can help to create a better world by having faith in one another.Also recommended:Gargoyles: Season Two, Vol. 1
