Gargoyles - Il risveglio degli eroi
8.085%8.1
Tutto inizia nella Scozia del 994 d.C. A causa di incomprensioni ed inganni, i Gargoyles vennero colpiti da una maledizione di un mago (uno dei personaggi, il Magus), personaggio dotato di magia grazie ad un libro magico denominato Grimorum Arcanorum, che nell'arco della serie creerà più volte il caos. Questo mago scagliò loro una maledizione credendo che per colpa loro la principessa, di cui egli era segretamente innamorato, fosse morta; il maleficio recitava che “sarebbero rimasti addormentati fino a quando il loro castello non fosse giunto sopra le nuvole”. Nel 1994, mille anni dopo, un miliardario americano, Xanatos, affascinato da questa leggenda dopo averla letta nel Grimorum in suo possesso - scritta dalla stessa mano del Magus - acquista il castello, lo fa smontare dalla Scozia e ricostruire sul suo grattacielo, e così i Gargoyle si ritrovano nella moderna Manhattan a combattere la criminalità e a scoprire le invenzioni della tecnologia.

Gargoyles - Il risveglio degli eroi Ratings e Recensioni
- flavo4324 dicembre 2025Gargoyles proved that Disney could push far beyond its usual bright, comedic fare and deliver an animated series steeped in atmosphere, mythology, and genuine dramatic weight. From its very first episodes, the show embraced a darker, more suspenseful tone, weaving together elements of fantasy, history, and Shakespearean tragedy in a way that felt bold for 1990s children’s television. While its intensity may have been a bit much for very young viewers, Gargoyles found a devoted audience among preteens, teenagers, and adults who appreciated its layered storytelling and emotional complexity. The characters—particularly Goliath and his clan—were written with surprising depth, grappling with loyalty, loss, identity, and the challenge of adapting to a modern world. The result was a series that felt ahead of its time: rich in lore, visually striking, and narratively ambitious. Gargoyles remains a standout example of how animated television can captivate a broad, multigenerational audience.

- Richard18 ottobre 2025This wasn’t just a cartoon, it was Shakespeare in shadow, myth wrapped in Manhattan and emotional storytelling disguised as action. Gargoyles took the Saturday morning formula and shattered it. Goliath and his clan weren’t just stone protectors, they were tragic heroes, cursed by time and betrayed by humans, waking into a world that had moved on without them. The animation was moody and cinematic, the voice cast stacked with talent and the writing? Bold, layered, and unafraid to tackle betrayal, identity and redemption. David Xanatos redefined villainy, not evil, just endlessly strategic. And Demona? A masterclass in rage and heartbreak. Watching it on TV as a kid felt like discovering something forbidden, too smart, too sad, too good to be just a cartoon. It was gothic, operatic and emotionally rich. Every episode deepened the lore and every character had scars that mattered.
