Simply put Gargoyles is one of the most popular and best works to come from Disney.

The Series feature a powerful plot that kept on growing stronger and stronger as the series grew.

Gargoyles was without a doubt one of the best shows that came out of the 1990s.

The series center around A Chan of Gargoyles lead by Goliath (Voiced by Keith David) who along with Hudson (Voiced by Edward Asner), Bronx (Voiced by Frank Welker), Brooklyn (Voiced by Jeff Bennett) Lexington (Voiced by Thom Adcox-Hernandez) Broadway (Voiced by Bill Fagerbakke) protect New York City as heroic creatures of the night.

The Gargoyles were placed under a spell to leave them in stone for a 1,000 years until David Xanatos (Voiced by Jonathan Frakes) the series main antagonist was successful in freeing them.

However this is the beginning of their troubles as they discover that the world has change so much in 1,000 years they slept.

But Goliath and the others join forces with Detective Elisa Maza (Voiced by Salli Richardson-Whitfield). As the Gargoyles protect the city at night Goliath soon learns that another Gargoyle has survived but not as she once was. Giving a name by the humans she now goes by Demona (Voiced by Marina Sirtis). Demona blames Humanity for the deaths of her clan now is on the rampage.

This series is perhaps the darkest show Disney produced in the day when you look back on it for it dark story line and characters.

But regardless the series just has too much that you would not love. It features a strong story line, the writing in the series was made for children as well as adults which is not always easy but somehow the show made it work, also the cast gives us some of the greatest voice work in the history of animation. The Animation is top notch with great designs for the characters and the back grounds are superb.

Gargoyles is just one of the shows you can't miss out on
