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

I give it a four because I wish that they had season two for this amount of money, but they don't. SO, I give it a four because it makes me want more than I can afford.

disappointed with manufacter error.......2007-02-20

I am sadly returning this set. On disc one all the episodes are not there. You won't notice unless you put in the disc and watch with your kids. I love the series but I paid for all of it not part of it.

Wonderful series, but, disney...........2007-02-03

While I have loved gargoyles since it first aired on TV, I am tired of disney's tactics on selling their products. Everytime they need money or try to boost sales its the same "Its going into the vault" or "If we dont make $1.5 mill on a dvd we are not going to bother with our customers" Im sure its like that with many companies but Im tired of the blackmail from disney specifically.

This time 2 years ago, they put bambi in the vault, only to re-release it and make it a "special edition" and send it BACK into the vault along with Narnia. Then with the sad attempts to make sequels and ruin perfectly good storylines? Cinderella 3???? WTH was THAT!?

While I do love the gargoyles series, If they choose not to release it,
then I will just download it.

Prime Satanimation..........2007-01-18

"...It was a time of darkness... it was the age of gargoyles!"

Ever wonder what gargoyles did after dark? This is the main premise behind this marvellous Satanimation. The ancient gargoyles awakened by Sorcery into the modern world. With them, comes chivalry & nobility. But also, a host of enemies to contend against. A beautiful female detective aids Goliath, & his band of fellow gargoyles, to fight Xanatos, their major nemesis.

Endlessly entertaining. Excellent animation. Repleat with Satanic aesthetics. There is power & majesty here, & many inspirational triumphs & adventures.

You Gotta Love It!.......2007-01-13

This is serious cartooning- none of that kiddy stuff here. It can be blatently dark and ominous at one point, but some lighter moments are thrown in to help us realize that being a Gargoyle in NYC can't be all that easy when your used to guarding a Scottish castle for a few hundred years. It is very well written, and has a real story line one can follow as opposed to some rubbish thrown in for filler. Good for older kids and adults who get tired of "real people shows", but may make some little ones a bit uneasy(face it- gargoyles were not meant to be pretty!).
It had too short of a life, but at least we can enjoy what we had whenever we want,now. Go get seasons I and II!

A little more complicated but no less intelligent than the first season, the animated Gargoyles: Season 2, Volume 1 follows the further adventures of the ancient Scots clan of gargoyles relocated to modern Manhattan and freed from a curse that had turned them to stone. Still sworn to protect their new, adopted city while dealing with the underhanded, sometimes criminal machinations of the man who lifted the curse--billionaire Xanatos (voice by Jonathan Frakes)--gargoyles leader Goliath (Keith David) and his fellow misfits cope with consequences of some very modern problems (genetic engineering, pirate television) as well as some from the days of magic (time travel, evil spells).

In the 26 episodes in this boxed set (half the content of season 2), Xanatos is particularly busy cooking up mischief--some of which goes very wrong, such as the forced metamorphosis of several kidnapped humans into winged monsters, an experiment conducted by one of the mad scientists working in his labs. A couple of multi-part stories, such as "City of Stone," in which New York's inhabitants are turned to stone under a dark spell, and "Avalon," in which Goliath ventures into King Arthur territory, enrich and anchor season 2 with consistent storylines. As with the first season, these new tales have an impressive vocal cast, including Michael Dorn, Tim Curry, David Warner, and Sheena Easton. --Tom Keogh

Description

The ancient struggle between heroes and villains continues among the skyscrapers and bridges of a modern metropolis as GARGOYLES returns for a second season. It's an adventure 1,000 years in the making! The suspense builds in Season 2 as archenemy Demona unleashes a plot to turn the entire population of New York into statues, and flashbacks reveal even more of the history of these legendary figures. Enjoy the first 26 episodes of the second season of GARGOYLES in this special 3-disc DVD set complete with hours of exclusive, fan-requested bonus features.

Everything coming together.......2007-04-27

The first season of Gargoyles is great fun, but the second is where the series really finds its wings. With greater depth and subtlety of story (and much better dialogue!), mythic elements woven into overarching narrative arcs, greater characterization, and both angst and humor aplenty, it's well worth the wait. This is what makes people love "Gargoyles."

Let's just hope Disney releases the rest of the series on DVD...because while this is only 26 episodes, it is technically only the first half of the second season. I'm not sure how that works out, but there's no question that, having finished these discs, I don't want to stop here.

We NEED Vol. 2!.......2007-04-04

Gargoyles remain among of the most intelligent, creative, visually stunning and highly developed cartoons ever produced. It was one of the true highlights of Disney animation. I am a baby boomer and I've loved Hanna Barbara (remember Pirates of Dark Water?) Looney Toons and so many other long-absent cartoons. But top of the list was Gargoyles for their highly developed themes and lingering sub plots. Not to mention that the animation was simply beautiful. In 1994, when technology was taking off by leaps and bounds and the world was on the verge of an internet revolution, Gargoyles dazzled. I was 40 and I tuned in every Saturday with delightful anticipation!

PLEASE bring us the second part of Season two. PLEASE. Loyal fans, parents and now grandparents appreciate GOOD cartoons. Please release the rest of this wonderful cartoon.

Season 2, Volume ONLY.......2007-04-01

I wrote a review right when this came out. I was looking forward to the next volume. But guess what. THERE ISN'T GOING TO BE A NEXT VOLUME!!! I'M HIGHLY IRRITATED. Disney why would you do this to gargoyles fans. Ohh... sales is it. GUESS WHAT I BOUGHT ONE. Is that not good enough for you. Why would I buy multiple copies. So I can watch the same thing in multiple rooms. I did my part. I bought it. I feel like a baited fish. I want my gargoyles season 2 Volume 2222222222222!!!!!!! RRRAAAAAA!!! Don't they have petitions for this sort of injustice ... BRW

Fantastic! Anyone is a fan of animation, Disney, adventure, fantasy, modern-day or period piece action, mythology, drama, comics, crime, humor, romance, or even Batman will absolutely LOVE this series. It has it all. If you didnt catch it on the air in the ealry '90's it's not too late. Please help SSN2, Volume 2 come out by buying this DVD...!!!! :) Hundres of Thousands of fans like me are just dying!!!!

Wow, so many years later and I got seasons 1 and 2 vol. 1.......2007-03-06

Found Season 1 in Circuit City and had to get season 2 vol. 1, unfortunately I'm reading the second volume is on the verge of getting canned. This is a great series and the story telling is well structured. Here's hoping Vol. 2 is released.

tonight on the late show "Gargoyles" right after this message.......2007-04-19

Ah, this one is one of the better T.V. horror movies of the 70's and one more part of my attempt to find and watch all the old movies that I loved as a child. The chills that this one gave me then still creep back to me now.
Cornel Wilde and Jennifer Salt are father and daughter investigating some strange bones found by an old man in Arizona. They turn out to be bones of the title creature and it's family wants them back, NOW!
this one reeks with atmosphere and a sense of foreboding that it pulls you past any holes in the script and the Make-up by Stan Winston is great. this is one to watch if you Dare,in the dark. After all, its only a movie,right?

Great stuff from the past.......2007-03-20

Sure its really just a 3 star movie, but because it was made a long time
ago, it always made a impact on whoever saw it, had great makeup for those days, and the movie is surprisingly creepy it gets 4 stars.
Good for a keeper.

AT THE TIME, This was a top-of-the-line production........2007-03-15

And the plot wasn't bad either.

After hundreds of years of incubation,
gargoyle eggs begin hatching.

Despite everybody's best efforts,
inter-species conflict ensues.

Naturally, the burden of contact falls upon the locals.

Glad I wasn't there.

Demons.......2006-07-07

This film has remained in the recesses of My evocative contemplation since I first saw it some dark and dreary night upon a horror movie showcase, and has remained an occasional viewing pleasure.

Dr. Mercer Boley, an Anthropologist studying Demonology and cryptozoology decides to vacation in the desert of the American Southwest, taking his daughter Diana with him and come upon "Uncle Willie's Desert Museum" set up for tourists, which includes a rattle snake, bull skull, various baubles and indian bric-a-brac, but the real interest is back in the shed, wherein he preserves a supposed gargoyle skeleton excavated by his own hand. Suddenly, the entire shed is shaken apart accompanied by bestial cries, and "Uncle Willie" {played by Woody Chambliss, whom you will recognize as the dottering 'John' from 'The Devil's Rain'} is crushed in the fallout. The shed bursts into flames, as Boley and Diana barely escape the destruction, whereupon travelling to the next destination later that evening, are beset upon by a reptilian creature from out of the darkness. Bit by bit, these demonic creatures reveal themselves in an attempt to retrieve the desecrated remains of their fallen brethren, until finally kidnapping Diana and taking her back to their caverns, where she gains favor and receives the curious advances of the King Gargoyle.

The splendid Grayson Hall {'Dr. Julia Hoffman' from Dark Shadows} plays a 'Mrs. Parks' - motel manager and alcoholic spinster who is too soon literally strung up on a telephone pole by the gargoyles as a warning and decleration of war. Subtle shades of Vlad Tepes there.

With the sloppy aid of some dirt bike riders, the local yokel 'police' attempt to battle these subterranian dwellers, who desire to take over the world of man and make it their own. In the past, they seemingly attempted to co-exist, but humans became too antagonistic and killed off their kind at every opportunity, based on fear and ignorance. So now, with the rebirth of The Gargoyle King, they have remained within labyrinthine dwellings until the time when they were plentiful in number, to rise and conquor. Unfortunately, many precious eggs were immolated during the battle.

The costumes are impressive, with each character maintaining his or her own seperate identity, from scaled to hairy variations, from beaked to reptilian. I found the main Gargoyle to be quite remarkable, as a veritable Satan archetype even comparable to Legend's 'Lord Darkness'. They also each have personalities and voices, modes of expression and sentiment, which was a delightful turn from the usual sole grunting and hissing, which is only just a part of themselves. One of the female gargoyles actually becomes jealous at the attention Diana is receiving from the King Gargoyle, so she leads Dr. Boley directly to their location.

I would have liked to have seen more from these characters, and would look forward to any reproductions. This film does suprisingly well on such a condensed budget, mostly utilizing the naturally eerie enviroronment and sense of suspense during several well done lambent scenes wherein they emerge from the shadows, with long claws, gleaming fangs, piercing eyes, thrusting horns, and fanged rictus. This film could have just as easily been named "Demons".

This Is Not The Same Gargoyle Movie I Remember!.......2006-06-26

Please Help, This is driving me crazy. I bought this DVD several months ago and just watched it with my visiting 36 yr. old son,and we both say we never saw this movie before! The one I remember takes place in a small town with a 2-story brown brick school, and several other buildings,not just a gas station and motel stuck out in nowhere,in the desert.Plus "ALL" the gargoyles had wings,not just 2 adults and a newly "hatched" one(demons from eggs,how HOKEY is that) The movie we remember did not even have the caverns and gargoyle eggs,but was a much better movie,because the winged gargoyles are so much creepier. Does anyone else remember the same version,my son and I do,and know if it is available?

After receiving word about a mysterious carcass/skeleton unearthed in the Arizona desert, a father (Cornel Wilde) and his daughter (Jennifer Salt) decide to remove it from the burial grounds for further study. Once they do so, they, as well as the town, are besieged by a colony of gargoyles living in some nearby caverns who feel after being cast down from the heavens that the time is now to show the humans who is truly the superior species.

Gargoyles remembered. .......2006-03-15

Reviewing the Day of the Triffids found a Cheezy move section reviewing this section found two film from my past, I remember staying up until 12 midnight to watch the tv program the midnight hour and seeing those two movies, Wow totally forget about them. The is the way 'spook' movies should be made. Bill

Beware of Gargoyles!!!.......2005-01-30

The premise is thus: Cornel Wilde who's main interest is with beasties and other things is writing a book. While meeting up with his daughter (Jennifer Salt), they discover a run-down shack in the middle of nowhere with an old man who "claims" he has the best attraction ever...a gargoyle skeleton which the old man "claims" is real.
After much skepticsm, Cornel Wilde agrees to view the old man's find, only to be interrupted by an apparant gargoyle attack.
Cornel Wilde flees with the skeletal remains, only to be chased and hunted by the gargoyles who's own intent is to recover the skeletal remains of their ex-breathren while the leader of the Gargoyles by the name of "Goliath" becomes infatuated by Jennifer Salt and kidnaps her.
Then, it is a battle for the daughter and supremecy. Is it the humans, or the gargoyles who will be the winner?

The Plus: Great looking Gargoyle Suit (with actual beating wings!) for the leader.
: The acting of the Gargoyles, Cornel Wilde, and Jennifer Salt.

The Minus: It's a pity that the budget was so bad for the rest of the cast of the gargoyles.They walked around wearing what looked like diver suits and crappy masks.
:The human acting of the "troublemakers". Their acting skills was really poor.

Otherwise, a good horror movie!
