10 Iconic Animated Series To Stream On Disney+
2. Gargoyles
Of all the classic Disney animated series available on the streaming service, Gargoyles is by far the most unique. The essential premise is that stone gargoyles turn into flesh and blood monsters at night. During an incident in medieval times, many of the clan the series is focused on is destroyed. The survivors are cursed to remain as stone until an extremely wealthy man revives them in modern times.
As interesting as the premise is, what the creators did with it took that premise to another level. Gargoyles brought in mythology and stories from an impressive array of cultures around the world, making it unintentionally educational. It also took a lot from the work of William Shakespeare. MacBeth is quite literally one of the main villains.
The voicing is also notable as many of the actors came from the world of Star Trek, including The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine and Voyager. If you know your Star Trek, you're in for a treat.
The entire series was never released on DVD or BluRay, nor has it been in syndication for a long time. Disney+ represents the first opportunity for many fans to relive this seminal series.
