Gargoyles (1994)
An Excellent animated series
Greg Weisman's "Gargoyles", whilst only living a short life, really provides an excellent example of an animated series that can be aimed at older viewers.
The series offered an engaging, arching storyline which was full of surprises, twists and turns at every corner. Full of enough action to keep younger children placated, but on the other hand mythological references and themes which enthralled much older people.
Unfortunately, the show was cancelled before its time - unable to compete with the commercial power of the 'Power Rangers'.
Animorphs (1998)
A disappointment
Fans of the book series will be, for the most part, disappointed. The actors are too old to fit the roles of the 14/15 yo. Characters they are meant to portray. Sadly, the SFX is terrible in many places - mainly in the area of actual creature footage, which would have benefitted far more from being Computer Generated. Good, lightweight entertainment if you enjoyed such series as 'Goosebumps', but if you're a fan of the books you'll be sadly let down by this crude attempt to cash in on the success of the books.
