While for years you had to either have a serious VHS collection of episodes taped off TV or catch the reruns on The Disney Channel, the full 65-episode run of Gargoyles is availble in three DVD sets as well as a variety of online resources, and will be available to stream on Disney+ once it’s up and running on Nov. Running for two seasons and a total of 65 episodes (No, we’re not counting The Goliath Chronicles, thank you), the series dealt with timely themes while stoking a love of noir, various world mythologies, and Shakespeare in the hearts of millions of kids who might have otherwise never given them the time of day. While ostensibly a cult classic, having never reached the mainstream popularity of contemporaries like the beloved ’90s X-Men cartoon and Batman: The Animated Series, it nonetheless left a mark on a generation with its intricate, sprawling mythology, complex characters, and smart writing. Disney’s Gargoylesis one of the seminal works of serialized American animation.
