Gargoyles (1994)

Gargoyles is the one TV show from my childhood that's always stuck out for me. Everything about this show was simply awesome to me back then, but re-watching it now I can see why it was so great.

As stated before, the voice acting was simply superb, there was not a single voice actor in the entire cast that I did not like. Keith David brought Goliath to life, there was simply no other person who could've done a better job than him.

I enjoyed (and still do) the darker tones of the Gargoyles TV show compared to the tones of the other cartoons airing around the same time. The show's dark mood is what helped to draw me in, it was so different considering Bonkers and Goof Troop were flanking it on the afternoon block.

I agree wholeheartedly with SuperSpongy.

Not only was the voice acting fantastically casted, regulars and cameos but for a kids show it was more grimey and dark.

The obvious weakness of the gargoyles created that human error about their fantastical being. Their reliance on others was truly an aspiring narrative theme.

I will miss it!

This was a great show that was well made and dark with nice animation from the TV Disney studio. Good story about bringing the gargoyles into the future, but from there, where do we go? Crime fighting around the city, friends with a few locals, but always in danger of being shattered when they turn to stone when the sun comes up.

Unfortunately I think this was too serious for kids.

Keith David's voice is great as Goliath.
