It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

I remember watching this when I was very young, and when I say very young, I mean very young, lol! I was born in 1994, the year this was aired, but I remember watching it regularly before I even went to preschool, which was 1999. I assume I watched it around 1998, when I was 4, perhaps even 97! But either way, I was probably watching re runs, and I think they lasted for a while. I was little so, I remember demona used to scare the crap out of me when her eyes turned red, and so did Goliath when his eyes turned green, lol! People always said for a boy I matured really fast, I mean I was pretty shy and quite, and maybe they were right, and I think this wonderful show was the beginning of that! I mean I was extremely young, but I loved this show, I mean most kids my age would probably fall asleep, lol! But not me, I loved it, and it's a shame cartoons like this don't air anymore, this show easily earns 10/10! Not sure if this contains spoilers, like if the glowing eyes count, lol! I'll just check the box just in case.

Oh, to have the Gargoyles back. One of the best animated series ever. Good for the kid in me: the fact that they're gargoyles and can fly (most of them) and generally kick butt. Good for the adult in me: there's actually a plot, and a really good one. The characters are not nauseating like the Power Rangers who defeated them. Except for the fact that the gargoyles are animated supernatural beings, they felt like real people. The show wasn't dumbed down for kids (ahem, Power Rangers and most Saturday morning cartoons since then), nor was it so adult that it was boring (i.e., the non-cartoon channels on Saturday mornings). Gargoyles was (still is, in my opinion) an excellent masterpiece of animated entertainment--scratch that--of entertainment period.

As a ten year old, Gargoyles was both entertaining and, in retrospect, genuinely edifying. From Macbeth to Puck and Oberon, the Shakespearean references were seamlessly worked into a show that, as other reviewers have remarked, was structured more like a novel than a disjointed kids' cartoon show. Yep, this show truly stoked my imagination.Maybe I'm just nostalgic but this show was great! It truly is a tragedy that the show only lasted two seasons. But even a decade later i can vaguely recall the plot outlines, which means something, at least to me.
This was quality entertainment. Today's animation producers(disney included) should take a look at Gargoyles to see what a real animated series can accomplish.

Many have sung the praises of this truly exceptional show. Calling it the greatest animated show of all time is not a statement I would argue with. I would however comment that the way this story was told it felt like a fine crafted novel, not a TV show. This a series with absolutely no plot holes. Not one. By the time the final episode aired all was explained and it made sense.( I'm not counting the awful Goliath Chronicles)
In most modern cartoons, the creators get a feel for the most popular characters and shift the focus mainly to them. In Gargoyles, every character was made important to the overall story arch. It is astonishing that this was accomplished. Also, new characters were readily introduced and it didnt impede with the devolpment of the older characters. An example of this is Angela. While the main focus was on her relationship with her father, Goliath, she also developed a relationship with every other gargoyle in the clan. This proves how well thought out the plots were.This show really tapped into the emotions of its characters as well. You actually felt Goliaths sense of rage and betrayel in the original movie when he confronts the captain of the guard who sold them out. "You are the betrayer", Goliath exclaims and you feel it. In his voice and in the words themselves, you feel his anger, his confusion, and his shock.The villians as well had their motavations. I dont think any of them were just evil for the sake of being evil. Demona and Xanatos had some twisted psyches, which in turn made them better villians.Gargoyles really was a groundbreaking show. This show is proof of how good a cartoon can be when its first priorty is quality entertainment and not selling toys.
